Dear Coco:
Don't be daft, Coco. A circumcision is a circumcision. Even the most conservative tissue excision removes the most sensitive part of a male's genitals. Why would you wish to do such a thing?
Tell you what, why don't you insist that you stand by your son while he is being cut, so that you can experience his agony first hand. Perhaps the Doc will even let you do the cutting, so that you can later tell your son that you were 'brave' enough to do it yourself, instead of foisting it off on some stranger. My god, have you no empathy for your son? Do you realize that you sound like an ogre? Have we all been desensitised to cruelty, even to our own children?
>Has anyone ever heard of requesting a partial circumcision for a newborn/young boy? I am expecting a son in the next little while and do not want to fully circumcise him. Any information anyone could offer will be greatly apreciated.
