  1. The Circumcision Discussion

    Joe12 replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I think I did address the correction. I believe the second part the post still applies but I guess I should say I am asking more generally, why do fathers insist that their sons match them in this...

    You're right. :) It's too early, BTW, why can't I

  3. The Circumcision Discussion

    Joe12 replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Here is what I don't understand, why do fathers think it is important to have their son's look like them in this respect. Ask him if he bonded with his father over their memberes. I suspect then...

  4. The Circumcision Discussion

    Joe12 replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I wish I had that power but we can all only do so much. Many of you who post here are in a unique position to help and it is really only through those in the medical community that we will succeed in...

  5. The Circumcision Discussion

    Joe12 replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I just wanted to build on this for interested parties. In my previous post I cited an article in this weekend's Australian which can be read here. This article is a response to another opinion...

  6. The Circumcision Discussion

    Joe12 replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Go back and read my post the pertinent section of which dnp2008 has quoted and tell me if reducing ones chance on the order of a few hundredths or thousandths of a percent (assuming he had about 1000...

  7. The Circumcision Discussion

    Joe12 replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I am very suspicious when I hear this. Having spoken about this with friends in the respective fields in those countries that don't routinely circumcise, they say it is very unusual that a medical...

  8. The Circumcision Discussion

    Joe12 replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    i read an interesting article about emla last week. apparently it has been linked to some pretty serious side effects even when used in the recommended amounts. apparently, these included: seizures,...

  9. The Circumcision Discussion

    Joe12 replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    While I don't think that is a bad idea (making parents watch first) I don't think it solves the problem. It kind of implies that if it can be done painlessly it would become ethical to circumcise a...

  10. The Circumcision Discussion

    Joe12 replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I didn't necessarily want to drag up this whole thread but I wanted to add some thoughts to this discussion and comment broadly on some points posters brought up in the last spat of posts. 1....

  11. The Circumcision Discussion

    Joe12 replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    If the CDC is saying the reduction in penile cancer is a benefit of circumcision they'd be about the only group that says as much, though I wouldn't be surprised. The problem is that most benefits, if...

  13. The Circumcision Discussion

    Joe12 replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    That can defiantly be an exciting thing for an intact boy. :) As far as when it can happen, it can be anytime between birth and late teens. By 10, only about 50% are fully retractable the numbers...

  14. The Circumcision Discussion

    Joe12 replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I wanted to say that I found this conversation very encouraging. I hope that one day (hopefully in the not too distant future) circumcision will be essentially unheard of, we will have finally...
