I don't see anything wrong with circumcision as long as the man wants it. Same for castration. I didn't asked for it, I was rubbed. Here is a video of Jonathon Conte of his last speech (I couldn't explain this better how I feel about it) recorded a week or so before he committed suicide.. He isn't the first one to do so and isn't the last one either. www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZofc6QyfZE

John Jones https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5GrU5N4QdfQ Circumcision isn't harmless, sometime boys lose part or the entire penis through this barbaric procedure sometime they bleed to death or shortly after their circumcision (over 200 every years in USA), sometime so much skin is remove, that they will never be capable to have normal sexual relations. Shit happens more than you can imagine.

I agree about the choice I had that choice I lived 33 years uncircumcised and chose to be circumcised and am glad but I made the choice. My son we didn't have circumcised at birth but he is now also.

Clearly underage circumcision is a very emotional subject to a great many people. I realize that some boys have lost much more then their foreskins.

I apologize if I seemed to treat it as something trivial. It was not my intent to be insensitive.

According to surveys, about 2 circumcised men out of 3 have resentments about their circumcisions.

My mother though I should be circumcised however my father sad No!:)

My thinking on the subject of circumcision has CHANGED a lot over my lifetime, I once believed that it should always be done on baby boys within three days of birth... Now I think it should NEVER be done ever. So can anyone give me some advice on a touchy subject? In 1996, my son was born, and both my wife and I agreed that he should be circumcised, as you might imagine I now deeply regret that decision. How to tell my (now 21 year old) son that I am sorry and that I hope that if I ever have a grandson he will NOT be circumcised.

Just tell him the plain truth, avowed fault is half forgiven. My father has never apologized for this choice, to him, excuses are sign of weakness, needless to say that we don't get along to well. By the way he is intact.

Let's just all blow it out of our systems here, OK?

Agreed, it's a touchy subject. No pun intended. I'd contribute, but it's past my bed time.

I d pick a private time when all alone, man to man, and when you won t be interupted by people, cell phones, texts, and all. Just be really honest and explain why you thought it was the best thing to do for him at that time and how and why your view has changed. Ask him how he feels about his penis and being infant circumcised and if he likes being cut now. Maybe he is happy to be cut.? A lot of men are. Then tell him why you wish any grandsons can stay uncut until they can make that decision for themselves. Explain how you wish you had done that for him to decide for himself now instead of cutting him as an infant. Ask him if most men his age and that he grew up with were cut or uncut? Has he ever thought much about circumcision? Was it ever brought up, teased about, desired, liked, disliked, or talked about in his peer group growing up? What have people s reactions been to his cut penis, especially girlfriends reactions and comments?

You are also talking with him, and admit it to him, that you are hoping to honestly win him over and save your future grandson s foreskins and sexual nerves and pleasures by arguing or proposing to him to not cut his own sons. Apologise if he resents being cut now, or being cut by your choice, or if he wanted to stay uncut growing up, or wanted to make that decision himself. You might not get another chance to talk with him about it before the decision is made for your grandsons. Hey, maybe he loves being cut and he is glad you did it.

Discuss how his future wife might have opinions and preferences on circumcision and how to decide to not cut their sons with her input too. Good luck. I hope your son appreciates your intent and you discussing it with him. Be prepared if he is embarrassed and tries to end the discussion quickly or lies to end it and end his embarrassment over discussing his penis with and how you d handle that with him.
