precious baby boy

[rootofnewt]

Someday, Ronan will use archive methods like the WayBack Machine and discover that the entire world knows he has an intact penis.

I hope he's proud and relieved. I hope he realizes that I love him so much I couldn't bear to let a doctor forcibly rip off one of the most sensitive parts of his anatomy.

Not that we were planning on it, we don't believe in non-consensual unnecessary cosmetic surgery.

And if he ever has kids of his own, he should know firsthand that circumcision is never an option for a normal, healthy baby. There should be no question.

But yeah . . . Ronan, if you're reading this many years from now, know that we bucked tradition and made sure you were left whole.

Fortunately, tides are changing and circ rates are dropping.

People get teased on the basis of *anything* in school. Red hair. Eyeglasses. Intelligence. Not having a belly button. Having an outie. Facial hair. Boobs.

Most of the guys I know have told me that locker room teasing of penises would result in social suicide for the teaser, because who the hell looks at another guys' nads? Homophobia for the win!

(yes. tongue in cheek. firmly so.)

Glad to hear the tide is changing.

I'd say the only real trauma is having a woman recoil in fear from your genitals. Avoid that and he is golden.

My advice... whip it out all the time. That way there is no surprise later!

*gives great advice*

I'm sure that any future teenage lovers will totally do the equivalent of googling him. ;)

But to that end, I shall take a picture of him in an intactivist onesie and put it in a prominent place in our home.

definitely. my brothers and husband said this is some sort of urban legend. i'd ask around to the guys you know about whether they ever teased/were teased/ saw teasing... bet the sanswer is no...

All of the guys I know who fit this description have said that they weren't teased-- any insecurities came totally from within their own brains, and were quickly put to rest when they finally had a serious relationship.

Uh...

Teasing exists.

uh..."uh-hrm!" (*cough-cough!*)
That is all I have to say.
I cannot reveal my source(s).

heh. :) Perhaps I should have rephrased it to say "teased about THAT."

And obviously, my sources were never meant to be authoritative or exhaustive. Just a couple of cents collected from various places.
