Super Heroes and Angry Jews and Foreskins, oh my

An Internet comic featuring a blond Foreskin Man battling an evil Monster Mohel intent on circumcising a baby has angered local Jewish leaders who say it is anti-Semitic.

**** 'em. If such a thing outrages you, then you likely have issues with your own religion. And, if your religion can't take a little ribbing, then you might be missing out on life in favor of your religion.

9/11 people, 9/11.

Now if the comic just wasn't funny, then I'd be outraged. I'd ask for a refund. Or my foreskin back; whichever.

As I said, it's been both hilarious & embarrassing teaching him about washing his own penis.

Hilarious because as a 5 yr old, he can't stop talking about his "willy & peanuts" at the most random of times, around the dinner table, on car trips or seeing a statue of a naked man...

Embarrassing when his teacher asks you to explain the meaning of "Daddy was showing me how to play with my willy in the shower..."

So please don't tell me I'm insecure about my body or my son's well being.

Um, you know he's not supposed to do that until the foreskin actually separates, right?

Well a) I don't know as I was circumcised at birth.

b) At 5 yrs old, he has little trouble peeling back.

I hope that KMC lasts for another 10 years.

So when my son turns 15, I can show him that I was talking about his willy to strangers on the net. 😕

Yes, Jews hate phallic Western objects.

And apparently so do Arabs.

It wasn't a conspiracy post.

Ok well, here's the deal that a shocking number of doctors in the US don't know with disastrous results and I certainly hope your kid wasn't a victim of this.

When your born, your foreskin is fused to your dick and isn't supposed to roll back because it protects you from UTI's and feces and that kind of thing. It doesn't separate until sometime between the ages of four and eighteen, typically when kids start jacking off and this can vary wildly between kids. If you try to force it back before then, it's possible that you're actually tearing it off and that can cause serious, serious problems especially during puberty. Basically there's a membrane that slowly dissolves as anatomy forms. Before that, hygiene really isn't an issue because (again) it's all connected.

I know it sucks getting medical info off a ****ing geeky movie board but doctors in the US are so frighteningly full of bullshit, especially when it comes to sexual health that it's scary.

Hey cheers for the info...but let's stop now talking about my son's willy ok. 😉

I'd imagine(or at least hope) most doctors are aware that the foreskin is attached, they just don't care or make an issue of it due to the: "the baby won't remember that someone forcibly tore skin off his penile head and then cut it off, so it's okay" angle.

Like it's okay to abuse someone, on the grounds that they're ignorant about it.

I think Jello is not talking about circumcision. He's talking about the foreskin being attached to the tip of the penis.

Now I'm not going to tell you how to raise you're own & I ask that you show me the same respect also.

Last year my missus was worried that our son was having trouble breathing when he slept, he was snoring louder than a child should & so out of peace of mind we spent the night at the hospital for a sleep test.

The results was that he was born with enlarged tonsils. The doctors said it didn't affect his breathing at all, however it would make his snoring sound louder & unusual than other children & the times he had the flu, his throat may be slightly more swollen & sore.

Now, we as parents, were given 3 options:
1)Realise his health was not in jeopardy & accept that his snoring was natural because of his enlarged tonsils.

2) Take the chance that as he grew older his tonsils "would adjust themselves & revert back to their natural size".

3) Remove his tonsils now for no other discernible reason but peace of mind. There was also a slight concern that it would be more difficult to remove his tonsils at an older age, if they proved to be a problem with his sleeping.

I opted against having his tonsils removed, arguing it was against his will whilst my missus countered back on how painful his throat became when he had the flu & possible sleep issues affecting his studies as he grew older.

In the end, I opted to listen to my missus & put my 5 yr old son's moral rights aside.

As a loving parent, hindsight isn't a super power one develops nor has the right to use in arguments.

methinks thou dost protest too much
