<b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Thank you for your </span>gift</span></b><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"> to Saving Our Sons.</span></b> </span>Saving Our Sons <i>carefully</i> assesses the impact of every single dollar spent, to ensure gifts are used in the most wise way possible. By doing so we are able to make the most effective use of any donation for the sake of <b>babies and future men saved!</b></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><b><br /></b></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Saving Our Sons is now able to accept support via Venmo: @SavingSons (last four -5116)</b></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><a href="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=2T5TLVE3T4FV8">Your donation</a></b> will be put to immediate, real-life, baby-saving use in one of the following ways: </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">*Maternity, Baby, and Family <span style="font-size: large;"><b>Expo Registration and Materials</b></span>, freely given to thousands of expecting and new families (<a href="http://www.savingsons.org/p/local-chapters.html">Saving Our Sons has on-the-gound intact chapters</a> in every U.S. state, Canada, Australia, the U.K, Africa, South Korea, and Puerto Rico). We register for and attend as many maternity, baby and family expos as we are able to raise funding for. This impact is thee most significant way to change the greatest number of new parents hearts/minds who would otherwise never receive the intact message. Expositions play a vital role in saving babies from genital cutting, and ensuring tomorrow's men remain intact, and the need for SOS expos is great. Example: the cost of one temporary billboard ($4-8K) would otherwise cover between 40-60 full maternity and baby expos, where SOS volunteers meet one-on-one with thousands of expecting mothers at each. Expo booths are by and large the most impacting steps we can take toward a future intact nation.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">*<b><span style="font-size: large;">Intact Info Packs</span></b>, books, USB videos, intact care items, materials sent to those who've requested but cannot otherwise access them (or those who've had a relative/friend request items be sent). Most pressing are the needs for reaching families whose babies are in the NICU and remain intact, but undecided about circumcision. Our materials are quality and proven - they do change minds and hearts for those who go through them. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">*<b><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/pg/SavingOurSons/photos/?tab=album&album_id=1761559353863178">SOS Odyssey</a> Rallies</span></b> and the <b><span style="font-size: large;">Intact Traveling Billboards</span></b>! We reach many thousands of people with each stop along the SOS Odyssey, and the Traveling Billboards are impossible to miss. For these to happen in your area, we only need funding for gas and lodging for hosts. In most cases, $1K covers 6-8 large cities, with over 200,000+ seeing the intact message - often for their first time! <a href="http://facebook.com/SOSOdyssey">SOS Odyssey FB page</a>. <a href="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=QR8NM445648R2">To give directly</a> toward the Traveling Billboards, and tell us you'd like the Odyssey to come to your state, please note your city/state: <a href="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=QR8NM445648R2">https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=QR8NM445648R2</a> The advantage of the SOS Odyssey and traveling billboards over a temporary, stationary billboard is that it is not ignored, is seen by thousands for a fraction of the cost, and is delivered in a pro-intact manner that we've found opens minds/hearts and evokes positive, powerful change. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">*Awareness raising <b><span style="font-size: large;">rallies for genital autonomy</span></b>. Saving Our Sons hosts respectful pro-autonomy rallies and info tables in front of major conventions (AAP, CDC, ACOG, International AIDS Conference, College of Nurse-Midwives) and in large cities and high traffic areas (Men's Health Week, <a href="http://genitalintegrityawarenessweek.com/">Genital Integrity Awareness Week</a>, <a href="http://grandintactstand.org/">The Grand Intact Stand</a>). During these rallies we take a professional, educational approach to awareness raising and pass out hundreds of </span>informational<span style="font-family: inherit;"> items each day, having countless one-on-one constructive and respectful conversations with passerbys and conference attendees. The ripple effect is great! Physicians are people too, and most have a vested interest in the wellbeing of their patients, and their personal, ethical practice. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">*<b><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.savingsons.org/2015/07/retracting-clinician-information-pack.html">Prevention Care and Don't Retract Packs</a></span></b> for physicians. Between SOS, The Intact Network's State Chapters, and Peaceful Parenting, we receive approximately 15 reports each week of physicians or </span>clinical<span style="font-family: inherit;"> staff who are forcibly retracting children, or encouraging parents to do so with their baby. These packs are put together by clinicians volunteering with SOS and the Medical Professionals for Genital Autonomy, and they are well received - often making a real change in patient protocol. We also send Prevention Care packs to physicians when a new family is going to start using their care services, so that they are well informed on intact care and normal development ahead of time. We would like to ship regardless of a family's ability to cover the $4 cost, but need people to come on board and support this </span>effort<span style="font-family: inherit;">. <b><a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/538608349/physician-do-not-retract-prevention?ref=shop_home_active_24">Also at Etsy</a></b>.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">*Continuation of the<span style="font-size: large;"> <b><a href="http://savingsons.org/">SavingSons.org</a></b>, <b><a href="http://intactnetwork.org/">IntactNetwork.org</a></b>, and </span><b><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://drmomma.org/">DrMomma.org</a> websites</span> </b>and the <b><a href="http://www.savingsons.org/2017/10/please-help-with-domain-transfers.html">re-direction of circumcision domains</a></b> back to pro-intact material.

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">By giving to Saving Our Sons, you are ensuring that every dollar goes directly into saving a baby from genital cutting. We change the cultural mindset about the intact male body and foreskin to be one that is positive and productive, and empower forward momentum as we become an INTACT nation again! </span><br />

August 1-7 is <a href="http://worldbreastfeedingweek.org/">World Breastfeeding Week</a> and is the perfect opportunity for outreach with mothers who wish to nurse their babies to be born this year. Being honest, and fully disclosing the hazards that genital cutting often poses for a breastfeeding relationship is key to parents making informed decisions for the sake of their son. Here we highlight a variety of resources that relate to the intersecting topics, as well as showcase some images that have been used during past years for awareness-raising.<br />
<br />
Happy World Breastfeeding Week! And thank you for saving our sons. ❤<br />

<br />
Why me?<br />
<br />
Why was I one to be strapped to this board, against my will, fighting, struggling to get away.<br />
<br />
Why was I one, unable to defend myself, to be subjected to that fierce horror of the blade.<br />
<br />
Why am I one who never got to experience all that I was meant to experience -- never to feel in a way I was meant to feel.<br />
<br />
Why am I one who must live with the consequences of another's action upon my body.<br />
<br />
Why am I one who battles the knowing, and the unknown, all at once.<br />
<br />
Why am I one told to let it go. To man up. Told it doesn't matter.<br />
<br />
Why this board.<br />
<br />
Why this way.<br />
<br />
Why me? <br />

<b>2023 UPDATE:</b> <i><span style="color: #351c75;">All domains acquired 3 years ago are in need of renewal. We operate solely on a volunteer and donation basis, and need to cover these domains for the next time frame. Please help with your gift below so that each one continues to redirect to a pro-intact site for the next 3 years. THANK YOU for being a part of this important work!</span></i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>•</i><i><br /></i>
<br />
We have the amazing opportunity to purchase a number<b>*</b> of popular domains that previously led to pro-cutting information, and ensure that in the future they lead to pro-intact information. In order to make this happen, we need to raise $70 per domain to keep these sites <b>intact </b>and not have them bought out for further infant cutting propaganda.<br />
<br />
If you are able to help with this endeavor in any way, big or small, please give via <a href="http://paypal.com/">PayPal</a> Friends/Family to TheIntactNetwork@gmail.com or at the <b><a href="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=KQJUP8BJKL6N2">button below</a></b>. Even a $2 donation is useful, and will pool with others for the acquisition of a domain. We'll share the domains with donors as they are able to be acquired and re-directed to pro-intact info. If you'd like to select one from the top of the list (most urgent) email SavingSons@gmail.com or message the <b><a href="http://facebook.com/SavingOurSons">SOS</a></b> or <b><a href="http://facebook.com/TheIntactNetwork">TIN</a></b> Facebook pages.<br />

<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><b>To give via Venmo: @SavingSons (-5116 last 4)</b></div><div><b><br /></b><div><b>*</b>Domains will be purchased for redirection to pro-intact sites in an order of priority. We will not be attempting to purchase sites that are being sold for over $70 per 36 months, because this is outside the range of our fundraising limitations. We will be focused on the current top 25 that otherwise point to pro-cutting materials online. We will add to this list as others come available, or as we are able to raise funding to do so. There are currently a total 45 'in queue' (potential domains that match this description). We will need to repeat fundraising efforts to maintain these domains and their intact re-directs every 3 years.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>

<br />
When it comes to reaching out to expecting friends or relatives, it is typically best to get intact related materials <u>directly into their hands</u> as early as possible - even before their baby's sex is known. If you know this individual's address, or are able to see them in person, the ideal first move is to put physical materials in front of them. This means doing so without asking, "Can I give you something..." (which provides the opportunity for doors to close with a 'no thanks' reply). <b>Just give.</b> This can be in the form of info cards placed into a baby book, an <a href="http://www.savingsons.org/p/info-pack.html">expecting pack</a> sent to them anonymously, or an <a href="http://www.savingsons.org/p/info-pack.html">info pack</a> you share. In fact, there are six options for giving <a href="http://www.savingsons.org/p/info-pack.html">here</a>, and many <a href="http://astore.amazon.com/savingsons.org-20?_encoding=UTF8&node=2">excellent book choices</a> to include in a gift (with a card or two) inexpensively available on Amazon.<br />
<br />
If you do not know someone's mailing address, and cannot otherwise get materials physically in front of them, the next best thing is to send a heartfelt message via email or Facebook message. Below is one example of a message that has been altered slightly to fit different situations, but has overwhelmingly positive results from my work in related fields over the past 22 years. It has been curtailed in recent years to send on Facebook in a two-part message, but can also be put together with two attached images in one email.<br />
<br />
The reason it is in two parts is so that both key images and links show up directly with a message. It is important when providing items to expecting parents that things are not overwhelming (no more than 2 primary links that will lead to more), and that they spark curiosity.<br />
<br />
When sending on Facebook, <u>FIRST copy/paste into an email of your own</u>, and alter text as needed, add links, etc. Be sure you have quality copies of the images downloaded and all editing is taken care of. THEN be sure to "Expand to Full Message" on Facebook before pasting text, re-reading it, and adding the first image. This will allow your image to be sent at the end of a PM instead of the beginning. Send. And then do the same with the second part of the message. The result will be a flawless message with 2 images that are easy to read, and flows well.<br />
<br />
If you cannot send a message to someone for any reason, you also have the option of <a href="http://www.savingsons.org/p/info-pack.html">asking a leader</a> with Saving Our Sons to write to this individual. They will receive a similar message (either by email or on Facebook, depending on your contact options). See the <a href="http://www.savingsons.org/p/info-pack.html">bottom of this page of options</a> for doing so. The key is to reach out to every expecting individual you know in one positive way or another.<br />
<br />
Remember: assuming the best is a good thing. Come at this with a pro-intact, positive attitude -- all babies come into this world intact, all are deserving of their full bodies, and all parents want what is best for their little ones. We merely need to direct friends/family to resources so they are able to see the benefits of keeping their child intact; and learn the functions of the foreskin - why their baby is born with all he needs to have in the first place - while myth busting along the way if/when questions arise. There are many reasons that intact care is presented in the first part of this message (something that applies to *all* parents when their son is born) and that the term 'circumcision' is only used one time throughout the entire two-part message. It boils down to an understanding in how the human brain typically flows when presented with new ideas and language in a certain fashion, especially information and language used with expecting mothers.<br />

<b>Example Letter</b></div>
<br />
<b>Part One</b><br />
<i>Fill in the blanks as appropriate to your friend's location and situation; alter the opening sentences as they apply to you. Keep things friendly, brief, and personal. Find local Chapters here to include specific to your friend's state: <a href="http://www./">http://www.</a><a href="http://savingsons.org/p/local-chapters.html">SavingSons.org/p/local-chapters.html</a> The reason this is important is so that this individual knows they are not alone in their area - there are many families local to them who are keeping their sons intact too, and they have options to become connected (or merely snoop out of curiosity to see what is happening in their area). </i><br />
<br />
Hi _________,<br />
<br />
Big congrats on your little one on the way! Boys are such bundles of fun and love. I always thought I wanted a few girls... and now can't imagine life without my two little guys. ♥<br />
<br />
I wanted to drop you a note because one of the areas of my line of work (and passion for moms and their babies) is with clinicians and preventing the forced retraction of baby boys at birth and in childhood. I believe you may be birthing in ___<i>(state)</i>___ and we are frequently meeting with physicians there due to the higher than average rate for retraction in infancy. I thought these items may be useful to have before your little one arrives. If you'd like anything in hard copy (a 'don't retract' baby band; intact care cards; diaper tab stickers, etc.) I'm happy to send them to you. :)<br />

<br />
If printing items to take to the hospital, or have in a chart, there are several links to medical organization statements on intact care near the bottom of this page: <a href="http://www.savingsons.org/2015/07/retracting-clinician-information-pack.html">http://www.SavingSons.org/2015/07/retracting-clinician-information-pack.html</a><br />

<br />
<b>Part Two </b><br />
<i>Send part two immediately after (having this pre-edited in an email to copy/paste), so that both attached images come up with each individual message on Facebook one after another. In an email, they could be combined and both items attached. </i><br />
<br />
This resource list is also a fairly comprehensive place to investigate the topic further. The Georgetown University lecture by Dr. McAllister is especially good for research-based materials; and the College Humor video is a more light-hearted look at the subject.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NvlV2XCKblw/YCyI7CD9x0I/AAAAAAAAAA4/mavW19UbNsYD4rtiuBVxuKiaxuzUjNcxwCLcBGAsYHQ/s640/fe679746666a502883ce6d165a8e8d15.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="558" data-original-width="640" height="349" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NvlV2XCKblw/YCyI7CD9x0I/AAAAAAAAAA4/mavW19UbNsYD4rtiuBVxuKiaxuzUjNcxwCLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h349/fe679746666a502883ce6d165a8e8d15.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The foreskin is an organ present on <a href="http://www.drmomma.org/2011/08/intact-or-circumcised-significant.html">all mammals</a> from birth (male and female, human and other mammals). It serves many important purposes, and is not 'just skin.' When the foreskin is lost to infant circumcision, there are at least 16 important functions that are lost, and likely more that we have yet to fully understand. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<b>Frenar Band, or Ridged Band</b><br />
<br />
The frenar band is a group of soft ridges near the junction of the inner and outer foreskin. This region is the primary <a href="http://www.savingsons.org/2014/06/fine-touch-pressure-thresholds-of-human.html">erogenous zone</a> of the intact male body. Loss of this delicate belt of densely innervated, sexually responsive tissue reduces the fullness and intensity of sexual response. [Source: Taylor, J. R. et al., "The Prepuce: Specialized Mucosa of the Penis and Its Loss to Circumcision," British Journal of Urology 77 (1996): 291-295.]<br />
<br />
<b>Mechanical Gliding Action</b><br />
<br />
The foreskin's <a href="http://www.drmomma.org/2009/09/functions-of-foreskin-purposes-of.html">gliding action</a> is a hallmark feature of the normal, natural, intact penis. This non-abrasive gliding of the penis in and out of its own shaft skin facilitates smooth, comfortable, pleasurable intercourse for both partners. Without this gliding action, the corona of the circumcised penis can function as a one-way valve, making artificial lubricants necessary for comfortable intercourse. [Source: P. M. Fleiss, MD, MPH, "The Case Against Circumcision," Mothering: The Magazine of Natural Family Living (Winter 1997): 36-45.]<br />
<br />
<b>Meissner's Corpuscles</b><br />
<br />
Circumcision removes the most important <a href="http://www.savingsons.org/2014/06/fine-touch-pressure-thresholds-of-human.html">sensory</a> component of the foreskin - thousands of coiled fine-touch receptors called Meissner's corpuscles. Also lost are branches of the dorsal nerve, and 20,000+ specialized erotogenic nerve endings of several types. Together these detect subtle changes in motion and temperature, as well as fine gradations in texture. [Sources: 1. R. K. Winkelmann, "The Erogenous Zones: Their Nerve Supply and Its Significance," Proceedings of the Staff Meetings of the Mayo Clinic 34 (1959): 39-47. 2. R. K. Winkelmann, "The Cutaneous Innervation of Human Newborn Prepuce," Journal of Investigative Dermatology 26 (1956): 53-67.]<br />
<br />
<b>Frenulum</b><br />
<br />
The frenulum is a highly erogenous V-shaped structure on the underside of the glans that tethers the foreskin. During circumcision it is frequently either amputated with the foreskin or severed, which destroys or diminishes its sexual and physiological functions. [Sources: 1. Cold, C, Taylor, J, "The Prepuce," BJU International 83, Suppl. 1, (1999): 34-44. 2. Kaplan, G.W., "Complications of Circumcision," Urologic Clinics of North America 10, 1983.]<br />
<br />
<b>Dartos Fascia</b><br />
<br />
Circumcision removes approximately half of this temperature-sensitive smooth muscle sheath, which lies between the outer layer of skin and the corpus cavernosa. [Source: Netter, F.H., "Atlas of Human Anatomy," Second Edition (Novartis, 1997): Plates 234, 329, 338, 354, 355.]<br />
<br />
<b>Components of the Immune System</b><br />
<br />
The soft mucosa (inner foreskin) contains its own immunological defense system which produces plasma cells. These cells secrete immunoglobulin antibodies as well as antibacterial and antiviral proteins, including the pathogen killing enzyme lysozyme. [Sources: 1. A. Ahmed and A. W. Jones, "Apocrine Cystadenoma: A Report of Two Cases Occurring on the Prepuce," British Journal of Dermatology 81 (1969): 899-901. 2. P. J. Flower et al., "An Immunopathologic Study of the Bovine Prepuce," Veterinary Pathology 20 (1983):189-202.]<br />
<br />
<b>Lymphatic Vessels</b><br />
<br />
The loss of these vessels due to circumcision reduces the lymph flow within that part of the body's immune system. [Source: Netter, F.H., "Atlas of Human Anatomy," Second Edition (Novartis, 1997): plate 379.]<br />
<br />
<b>Estrogen Receptors</b><br />
<br />
The presence of estrogen receptors within the foreskin has only recently been discovered. Their purpose is not yet understood and needs further study. [Source: R. Hausmann et al., "The Forensic Value of the Immunohistochemical Detection of Oestrogen Receptors in Vaginal Epithelium," International Journal of Legal Medicine 109 (1996): 10-30.]<br />
<br />
<b>Apocrine Glands</b><br />
<br />
These glands of the inner foreskin produce pheromones - nature's powerful, silent, invisible behavioral signals to potential sexual partners. The effect of their absence on human sexuality has never been studied. [Source: A. Ahmed and A. W. Jones, "Apocrine Cystadenoma: A Report of Two Cases Occurring on the Prepuce," British Journal of Dermatology 81 (1969): 899-901.]<br />
<br />
<b>Sebaceous Glands</b><br />
<br />
The sebaceous glands may lubricate and moisturize the foreskin and glans, which is normally a protected internal organ. Not all men have sebaceous glands on their inner foreskin. [Source: A. B. Hyman and M. H. Brownstein, "Tyson's Glands: Ectopic Sebaceous Glands and Papillomatosis Penis," Archives of Dermatology 99 (1969): 31-37.]<br />
<br />
<b>Langerhans Cells</b><br />
<br />
These specialized epithelial cells are a component of the immune system in the penis. [Source: G. N. Weiss et al., "The Distribution and Density of Langerhans Cells in the Human Prepuce: Site of a Diminished Immune Response?" Israel Journal of Medical Sciences 29 (1993): 42-43.]<br />
<br />
<b>Natural Glans Coloration</b><br />
<br />
The <a href="http://www.drmomma.org/2011/08/intact-or-circumcised-significant.html">natural coloration</a> of the glans and inner foreskin (usually hidden and only visible to others when sexually aroused) is considerably more intense than the permanently exposed and keratinized coloration of a circumcised penis. The socio-biological function of this visual stimulus has never been studied.
The glans ranges from <a href="http://www.drmomma.org/2014/12/deep-dark-red-purple-or-blue-normal.html">pink to red to dark purple</a> among intact men with light skin tone, and from pinkish to mahagony to dark brown among men with dark skin tone. If circumcision is performed on an infant or young boy, the connective tissue which protectively fuses the foreskin and glans together is ripped apart. This leaves the glans raw and subject to infection, scarring, pitting, shrinkage, and eventual discoloration. Over a period of years the glans becomes keratinized, adding additional layers of tissue in order to adequately protect itself, which further contributes to discoloration. Many <a href="http://www.savingsons.org/2009/10/foreskin-restoration.html">restoring men</a> report dramatic changes in glans color and appearance, and that these changes closely mirror the natural coloration and smooth, glossy appearance of the glans seen in intact men.
[Source: P. M. Fleiss, MD, MPH, "The Case Against Circumcision," Mothering: The Magazine of Natural Family Living (Winter 1997): 36-45.]<br />
<br />
<b>Length and Circumference</b><br />
<br />
Circumcision removes some of the length and girth of the penis - its double-layered wrapping of loose, and usually longer, tissue is removed. A circumcised penis is truncated and thinner than it would have been if left intact. [Source: R. D. Talarico and J. E. Jasaitis, "Concealed Penis: A Complication of Neonatal Circumcision," Journal of Urology 110 (1973): 732-733.]<br />
<br />
<b>Blood Vessels</b><br />
<br />
Several feet of blood vessels, including the frenular artery and branches of the dorsal artery, are removed in circumcision. The loss of this rich vascularization interrupts normal blood flow to the shaft and glans of the penis, damaging the natural function of the penis and altering its development. [Sources: 1. H. C. Bazett et al., "Depth, Distribution and Probable Identification in the Prepuce of Sensory End-Organs Concerned in Sensations of Temperature and Touch; Thermometric Conductivity," Archives of Neurology and Psychiatry 27 (1932): 489-517. 2. Netter, F.H., "Atlas of Human Anatomy," Second Edition (Novartis, 1997): plates 238, 239.]<br />
<br />
<b>Dorsal Nerves</b><br />
<br />
The terminal branch of the pudendal nerve connects to the skin of the penis, the prepuce, the corpora cavernosa, and the glans. Destruction of these nerves is a rare but devastating complication of circumcision. If cut during circumcision, the top two-thirds of the penis will be almost completely without sensation.

Circumcision performed during infancy disrupts the bonding process between child and mother. There are indications that the innate sense of trust in intimate human contact is inhibited or lost. It can also have significant adverse effects on neurological development and cause a host of problems with <a href="http://www.drmomma.org/2012/06/womanly-art-of-breastfeeding.html">breastfeeding</a> and attachment development.<br />
<br />
Additionally, an infant's self-confidence and hardiness is diminished by forcing the newborn victim into a defensive psychological state of "learned helplessness" or "acquired passivity" to cope with the <a href="http://www.drmomma.org/2008/11/the-effectiveness-of-anesthesia-for.html">excruciating pain</a> which he can neither fight nor flee.<br />
<br />
The trauma of this early pain lowers a circumcised boy's <a href="http://www.drmomma.org/2009/10/infant-pain-impacts-adult-sensitivity.html">pain threshold</a> below that of intact boys and girls. This has been proven in a study during vaccination time. [Sources: 1. R. Goldman, Circumcision: The Hidden Trauma (Boston: Vanguard Publications, 1997), 139-175. 2. A. Taddio et al., "Effect of Neonatal Circumcision on Pain Responses during Vaccination in Boys," Lancet 345 (1995): 291-292.]<br />

Every year some boys lose their entire penises from circumcision accidents and <a href="http://www.drmomma.org/2010/05/the-perils-of-plastibell-circumcision.html">infections</a>. They are then "sexually reassigned" by castration and transgender surgery, and are expected to live their lives as females. [Sources: 1. J. P. Gearhart and J. A.

Every year many boys in the United States and elsewhere <a href="http://www.drmomma.org/2010/05/death-from-circumcision.html">lose their lives</a> as a result of circumcision - a fact that is routinely ignored or obscured. More U.S. born boys in the neonatal period of infancy die as the result of circumcision complications than from SIDS, <a href="http://www.drmomma.org/2010/05/death-from-circumcision-higher-than.html">car accidents</a>, crib accidents, suffocation or choking.

<b>Catheterization Without Retraction</b><br />
<i>Canadian Family Physician</i>. 2017 Mar; 63(3): 218–220.<br />
<a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5349724/">https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5349724/</a><br />
<br />
Over the past century, numerous boys born in Canada and the United States have been circumcised. (1) However, this trend is changing, with neonatal circumcision being performed less commonly than in years past. (2,3) Because of these historical practices, many physicians and nurses have limited experience treating patients with intact foreskins and engage in ill-advised procedures such as premature foreskin retraction for purposes of “hygiene” or catheterization. Premature retraction of the foreskin can lead to tearing of healthy tissue, which is painful and increases the risk of preputial scarring and infection. (4–6) We describe a method for catheterization in which premature retraction of the foreskin is not necessary.
<br />
<br />
<b>Technique</b><br />
<br />
The foreskin should first be gently manipulated to determine if the meatus can be easily visualized. Pressure used for this should be gentle to avoid tearing of tissues, similar to the amount of pressure that would be used when spreading the labia to visualize the meatus of a girl. If the natural attachments of the foreskin to the glans (head of the penis) remain, the foreskin should not be forced back to expose the meatus.
<br />
<br />
If the foreskin can be gently moved such that the glans and meatus can be seen, catheterization can be performed under direct vision using a sterile technique. The foreskin should never be retracted past the point where it has already naturally separated. (7)<br />
<br />
If the meatus cannot be seen, the genitals can be prepared and draped in a sterile manner without retraction. The catheter can then be lubricated and gently inserted through the foreskin opening and guided into the meatus, much like an intravenous catheter is guided into a vein by feel. Gentle pressure with the thumb along the dorsal aspect and the fingers along the ventral surface of the penis can keep the catheter from slipping between the glans and inner lining of the foreskin into the preputial space (Figure 1).<br />
<br />
When catheterization is being performed for the purpose of collecting a urine specimen, the foreskin should also not be forcibly retracted. In both boys with an intact prepuce and girls, the initial urine obtained during catheterization should be discarded, as this will contain preputial and periurethral flora. The latter urine should be saved for culture. (8)<br />

<br /></div>
<b>Discussion</b><br />
<br />
An understanding of the normal anatomy and development of the foreskin illustrates why the technique of catheterization without retraction is an important skill for health care practitioners. Physiologic phimosis is the normal state of young boys. (9) This finding is characterized by a closed preputial outlet with the inner mucosa of the foreskin beginning to evert through the preputial opening, which is healthy with no scarring. The glans cannot be seen without retraction. This is in contrast to pathologic phimosis, in which the glans and meatus can often be seen, as the scarred ring of the preputial orifice is held open and no mucosa is visible at the preputial outlet. (10)<br />
<br />
In a Danish study, 8% of healthy boys aged 6 to 7 still had complete physiologic phimosis preventing visualization of the meatus, and only 23% of boys this age had fully retractable foreskins. (11) In a Japanese study, 84.3% of boys aged 6 months to 1 year had a tight ring preventing any retraction, and this decreased gradually with time to 40% at ages 1 to 2 years, 28% at ages 3 to 4 years, 20% at ages 5 to 7 years, 16% at ages 8 to 10 years, and 8.6% at ages 11 to 15 years. (12)<br />
<br />
The term phimosis is Greek and means “a muzzling.” Physiologic phimosis simply means the foreskin cannot be retracted and the glans is “muzzled.” Ballooning during urination is a common finding and part of the normal developmental process of foreskin separation. (10) It occurs because the opening of the immature foreskin is not yet lax enough to accommodate a full urine stream or passage of the glans through it. The foreskin and glans separate naturally as the child develops, has erections, and manipulates his foreskin. When a young boy manipulates his foreskin naturally, he tends to pull his foreskin away from his body, not toward it, as is done with retraction. As he gets older and more curious, he begins to pull his foreskin toward his body as well. (10) In most boys, physiologic phimosis resolves naturally by the end of puberty. (11)<br />
<br />
The foreskin and glans are connected by the balanopreputial lamina, a membrane similar to the synechial membrane that connects the nail bed and the fingernail. The balanopreputial lamina is sometimes called the synechia. This membrane and the small preputial opening prevent retraction in boys with normal physiologic phimosis. The attachment might be forcefully disrupted, just as the fingernail can be torn from the nail bed, but this causes pain, is unnecessary, and can lead to infection, scarring, adhesion formation, or iatrogenic phimosis. There is no functional need for the glans to be exposed, and there is a protective effect of having the foreskin attached to and covering the glans.
<br />
<br />
Because the foreskin protects the glans penis and urethral meatus, premature exposure of the glans, as occurs after circumcision, commonly leads to meatal stenosis, in which a substantial part of the circulatory system in the glans penis is damaged (the frenular artery), and the glans tissue is exposed, denuded, and inflamed, which can lead to ulceration and subsequent scarring of the urethral opening. This inflammation and ulceration are caused by disruption of the normal attachment between the glans and foreskin, the absence of the protective foreskin, interruption in the normal circulatory system, or blisters from ammonia burns. (13–15) The blisters and ulceration at the opening of the urethra are caused by contact of urine-soaked diapers with the urethral meatus, which is no longer protected by the foreskin.
<br />
<br />
Retracting the foreskin of a prepubescent boy with physiologic phimosis, although still a common recommendation by many health care practitioners, has been shown to increase problems such as scarring and infection. These might result in iatrogenic pathologic phimosis and lead to a higher likelihood of circumcision being performed at a later date. (16) If the prepuce is unable to retract, there is nothing to clean under. The foreskin should not be retracted for cleaning until the foreskin has naturally separated and the child can do this himself. In fact, the owner of the foreskin should be the first person to retract his foreskin. Forceful retraction causes microtears that can lead to pathologic phimosis. (10)<br />
<br />
An additional danger of premature retraction is paraphimosis, a condition in which the retracted foreskin becomes stuck behind the glans penis, cutting off circulation and leading to ischemia and possibly penile gangrene if not treated promptly. Retracting the foreskin and cleansing with soap, commonly believed to be important for proper hygiene, not only exposes the child to the risks of premature foreskin retraction, but also to the risks of infection such as balanitis, which has been shown to be associated with the use of soap on the delicate mucosal tissues of the male genitalia. (17) Soap dries out mucosal tissue and should never be used on the glans or inner foreskin. The foreskin should be left alone until it demonstrates the ability to retract. (10) Once this is possible, foreskin care is simple: retract (gently and only to the extent possible), rinse, replace. Warm water and fingertips adequately clean the tissue.
<br />
<br />
Besides false beliefs about hygiene, one of the main reasons boys are subject to premature foreskin retraction is that many health care professionals believe that the foreskin must be retracted to obtain a clean specimen for urine culture. Fortunately, this is not the case. With proper technique, as described above, urine specimens can be obtained from boys with intact foreskins without exposing these patients to the risks of premature foreskin retraction. Although the focus of this article is on a technique for catheterization, it must be remembered that catheterization is an intervention that carries risks. The risks of catheterization include discomfort and introduction of bacteria into the urinary tract, which could lead to infection. Indications for catheterization include the need to monitor urine output for medical management, emptying the bladder in patients who are unable to do so, introducing contrast material for imaging procedures such as a voiding cystourethrogram, and obtaining a urine specimen for analysis in patients who are unable to provide one.
<br />
<br />
If a patient can reliably void into a collection container, catheterization for monitoring urine output can be avoided. Patients who cannot empty their bladders have the options of clean intermittent catheterization, indwelling urethral catheterization, and suprapubic catheter placement. Other options for collection of a urine specimen for analysis and culture include a midstream voided sample and suprapubic aspiration, and these should be considered when determining the optimal approach for specimen collection.8 Suprapubic aspiration is significantly more painful than urethral catheterization in premature male infants (P < .001). (18) Contamination is possible with catheterized samples as it is with voided samples.19 This suggests that catheterization for urine specimen culture should be reserved for those patients who are unable to provide a voided specimen into a clean container, and suprapubic catheterization should only be used if previous efforts to obtain a specimen have resulted in contamination.
<br />
<br />
<b>Conclusion</b><br />
<br />
In boys with intact prepuces and physiologic phimosis, catheterization without retraction minimizes potential long-term problems and is an effective technique. Understanding how to catheterize without direct vision of the meatus and discarding the initial urine if culture is desired allow this procedure to be performed with high validity and minimal risk of iatrogenic problems for the child.

<i>"It quickly became apparent that what had just happened was a catastrophe... I died in 2015, not now."</i><br />
<br />
Lesley Roberts was stunned as she read the devastating final email from her beloved son Alex Hardy.<br />
<br />
The email had been timed to arrive on 25 November 2017, 12 hours after he killed himself. Less than an hour before the email arrived, Lesley had opened her front door to find a police officer standing there, explaining her son was dead.
Alex was an intelligent and popular 23-year-old with no history of mental illness. Lesley could not understand why he would have wanted to take his own life.
His email explained how the foreskin of his penis had been surgically removed two years before. This is commonly known as circumcision, but Alex had come to believe it should be regarded as "male genital mutilation".
He never mentioned this to his family or friends when he was alive. Lesley did not even know her son had been circumcised.
In the following months, she tried to find out more about circumcision. Why had it affected Alex so badly, and why did he feel killing himself was his only option?<br />

<br />
Alex was the eldest of Lesley's three sons and had been very much longed for, having been conceived after fertility treatment.
Lesley says her "dreams came true" when she became a mother in July 1994.
"He was everything I could have wished for," she says. "Gorgeous, easygoing, and adoring of his younger brother Thomas who arrived following more treatment almost three years later."
He also adored his baby brother James, who was born when Alex was 13.<br />
<br />
The walls and windowsills of Lesley's home in Cheshire are covered in photos of all of them.
Alex sailed through his education and was particularly gifted at English, so much so that his old school established the Alex Hardy Creative Writing Award in his memory.
"Alex was passionate about history but as his English teacher I saw in him a true talent for writing," says Jason Lowe, who is now head teacher at Tarporley High School.<br />

<br />
It was while on a school skiing trip to Canada, aged 14, that Alex fell in love with the country. He had enjoyed skiing as a child and the trip reignited his passion. So, when Alex reached 18, he decided to defer university and live in Canada for a year.
"He fell in love completely with Canada and made so many friends and got a promotion at work," says Lesley.
"After one year he rang me and said 'Mum, I'm deferring my place for university'. The same thing happened after year two."
Two years turned into three, then four, and by the time of his death Alex had been living in Canada for five years and had obtained residency.
"He was known as the 'super-smart Brit' with impeccable manners," says his mother. "The super-intelligent guy from the UK who helped people with their Canadian residency applications."

<br />
Lesley visited her son several times, both alone and with his brothers and stepfather. They were a close family, but Alex did not tell any of them he was secretly suffering with a problem with his penis.
"I had issues with a tight foreskin," he eventually wrote in his final email, "but from my late teens it created issues in the bedroom as it meant my foreskin would not retract over the glans as intended which caused some awkward moments."<br />
<br />
In 2015, still silently suffering, Alex consulted a doctor in Canada. He was given steroid cream to stretch his foreskin, but went back to the doctor after just a few weeks because he did not think the treatment was working.
The medical name for Alex's problem is phimosis. It simply means his foreskin was too tight to pull back from the head of his penis, or the "glans" as Alex referred to it in his email. This is perfectly normal for boys in the early years of their life. As boys get older, their foreskin usually starts to separate from the head of the penis.<br />

<b><a href="http://www.drmomma.org/2010/01/phony-phimosis-diagnosis.html">Phimosis</a></b> does not always cause problems, but if it does, problems can include difficulty urinating and pain during sex. In England, the NHS advises topical steroids and stretching techniques - and circumcision as a last resort.
Over in Canada, where circumcision is more common, Alex was referred to a urologist.
"He immediately suggested circumcision," Alex wrote. "I asked about stretching and he completely lied to my face and said it would not work for me.
"I was mostly trusting as I felt he was the expert who knew best in this regard so with a pinch of salt I accepted it."<br />
<br />
Lesley has since read online reviews of this urologist which have made her question his competence. One patient said she had been unable to work since having surgery for kidney problems, and he had "destroyed" her quality of life.
"I'm a mother of three young children who are scared every day I will die as they see me suffering in so much pain," she wrote.
"I can see how he misdiagnosed others, botched surgeries, and ruined lives," said another review. "He's dangerously incompetent."
Another review of Alex's urologist read: "They left a surgical instrument in my bladder but I only got notified three months later. Run away before you get hurt!"

<br />
Lesley, who was "horrified" by these reviews, has asked for the urologist to be investigated. She has been told an inquiry is ongoing.
The College of Physicians and Surgeons of British Columbia told the BBC it "cannot disclose the existence of a complaint against a physician, and only may do so if the complaint leads to formal discipline".
"I will wish with my last breath and with all of heart that my darling son had run away," says Lesley.<br />
<br />
Much to his regret, Alex was not able to <b><a href="http://intactnetwork.org/research">research</a></b> the urologist - or circumcision - properly at the time because his laptop was broken.
He had tried researching the topic in a public computer space but felt uncomfortable, and also felt it was "too much of a taboo" to discuss with friends.
So Alex booked what he believed was a minor procedure and had the surgery in 2015, at the age of 21.

In the email to his mother, Alex explained, in great detail, the physical problems he had suffered afterwards.
He described experiencing constant stimulation from the head of his penis, which was no longer protected by his foreskin.
"These ever-present stimulated sensations from clothing friction are torture within themselves; they have not subsided/normalized from years of exposure," he wrote.

Consultant urological surgeon Trevor Dorkin, who is a member of the British Association of Urological Surgeons, advises his patients that the head of their penis will be more sensitive after circumcision.
However, this sensitivity usually reduces.
"I always say to guys 'it's going to feel more sensitive to start with' because all of a sudden you haven't got this protection over the head of the penis and it will feel different," says Mr Dorkin, who has carried out more than 1,000 circumcisions.
"But in the vast majority of the cases the man adjusts to that, the brain adjusts to that, it adjusts to the signals that are coming back through the nerves from the head of the penis."
<br />
<br />
Alex also wrote about experiencing <b><a href="http://www.savingsons.org/2011/11/erectile-disfunction-is-circumcision.html">erectile dysfunction</a></b>, and burning and itching sensations, particularly from a <b><a href="http://www.savingsons.org/2015/09/foreskin-and-its-16-functions-not-just.html">scar which sat where his frenulum</a></b> was removed. The frenulum is a band of tissue where the foreskin attaches to the under surface of the penis. Some men refer to it as their "banjo string".
"It's one of the more erogenous zones so it's thought to be important in sexual function," says Mr Dorkin.
"The foreskin, the head of the penis and the frenulum is a very, very sensitive area.
"But again when you do circumcision sometimes the frenulum is not preserved and it doesn't necessarily have an effect on overall sexual function and enjoyment."

But Alex felt his <b><a href="http://www.drmomma.org/2009/09/functions-of-foreskin-purposes-of.html">frenulum had been important</a></b>.
"Through its absence I can certainly verify it is the most erogenously sensitive area of the penis and male body overall," he wrote.
"If someone were to amputate your clitoris you may begin to be able to understand how this feels."
He wrote about experiencing cramps and contractions in his muscles and "uncomfortable" sensations which extended deep into his abdomen.
Lesley does not know whether or not Alex had sex after his circumcision.
"Where I once had a sexual organ I have now been left with a numb, botched stick," he wrote. "My sexuality has been left in tatters."
He asked: "Nature knows best - how can chopping off a section of healthy tissue improve nature's evolved design?"

Like many people, Lesley admits she knew very little about the <b><a href="http://www.drmomma.org/2009/09/functions-of-foreskin-purposes-of.html">foreskin</a></b> or <b><a href="http://intactnetwork.org/research">circumcision</a></b> before her son died.
"I didn't know anything apart from I believed it was a very routine surgery," she says.
The foreskin is sometimes dismissed as a "useless flap of skin", but Mr Dorkin says it does have a purpose.
"It covers the head of the penis," he says. "In terms of what's it for, it provides a bit of protection to the head of the penis. It's thought to have some sort of immunological function perhaps."
Circumcision rates vary a lot depending on where you are in the world and which culture you grew up in.
According to the World Health Organization, 95% of men are circumcised in Nigeria but only 8.5% of men in the UK are.

Most of the men circumcised in the UK are either <b><a href="http://fb.com/IntactIslam">Muslim</a></b> or <b><a href="http://fb.com/JewishNetwork">Jewish</a></b>, as circumcision is regarded as an important part of their religions.
According to the 2011 census, Muslims accounted for 4.8% of the population in England and Wales, while 0.5% were Jewish.
People who question circumcision are sometimes accused of being anti-Semitic or Islamophobic, but Lesley stresses her son was neither.
"For me, this has nothing to do with religion at all. I respect all people of faith or indeed no faith, as Alex did," she says.
In Canada, where Alex had moved to, an estimated 32% of men are circumcised.
Alex felt male circumcision has been normalized to the extent that most people do not question it, while female circumcision has become known as female genital mutilation (FGM) and is now illegal in many countries.<br />

He felt male circumcision should be known as "<b><a href="http://fb.com/SavingOurSons">male genital mutilation</a></b>" - a view shared by a growing anti-circumcision movement.
"If I were a female (in Western nations) this would have been illegal, the surgeon would be a criminal and this would never have been considered as an option by doctors," Alex wrote.
"I do not believe in championing one gender over another but I feel strongly that gender equality should be achieved for all."
Campaigners for "genital autonomy" believe it is wrong to circumcise a baby or child - whether they are male or female - because the patient cannot give consent, and these campaigners regard circumcision as a human rights issue.

Having lived with an intact penis for 21 years, Alex believed men circumcised as babies or young children would "tragically never be able to fully comprehend what has been taken away". He estimated he had been stripped of 75% of the sensitivity of his penis.
However, experiences of men circumcised as adults differ dramatically. Some report a significant loss in sensitivity and greatly reduced sexual pleasure.
Some report being less sensitive but say there is no change in their overall enjoyment of sex.
Some are happy with their decision to get circumcised.
Some, like Alex, deeply regret having it done.

Alex sought further medical help following the circumcision as well as psychological help, but never shared his problems with his family or friends.
"I was with him during those two years and I think I would be lying if I said I didn't think something wasn't right," says Lesley.
"I did say 'Is something bothering you? Are you OK?' and he would absolutely reassure me that he was."
Lesley, who used to be a teacher, now hopes to go into schools and speak to young men about sharing their problems, even if they are very personal.
"I think we all know that men don't particularly tend to talk about their problems in the same way that girls do but I think circumcision is very much a taboo subject," she says.
"Alex was reserved. He certainly wouldn't have said 'I've got a tight foreskin and it really hurts'. And he didn't. And I didn't know."
Only a week after Alex died, a friend opened up to Lesley about his own circumcision.
"He told me he wouldn't normally have mentioned it but he had a circumcision as an older man, 10 years ago, and he was in constant daily pain," says Lesley. "It just seems it's more common than you think."

Mr Dorkin says serious problems following a circumcision are rare, but not unheard of.
"You do hear of horror stories where a circumcision has been done poorly and there's damage done to the head of the penis itself," he says.
Sometimes too much skin is taken and this can result in what's known as "burying" or shortening of the penis, where it gets pulled back into the body.
"<b><a href="http://fb.com/IntactCare">Surgeons</a></b> at the end of the day are human and there is potential for human error and technical error during any operation," he says.
"One of my mentors told me every case is a tricky case, that's got to be your approach to surgery. You never take anything for granted in surgery."

There have been cases of children and men <b><a href="http://www.drmomma.org/2010/05/death-from-circumcision.html">dying after being circumcised</a></b>.
Four-week-old Goodluck Caubergs bled to death after a nurse circumcised him at his home in Manchester, while one-month-old Angelo Ofori-Mintah bled to death after being circumcised.
Since 1995 at least 1,100 boys have died in South Africa after ritual circumcisions. Some penises fall off after becoming infected and rotten, while some have to be amputated.
In Canada, where Alex was living, newborn baby Ryan Heydari bled to death after being circumcised by a doctor in Ontario.
Recently there have been reports of two babies dying within weeks of each other after home circumcisions in Italy, and a two-year-old boy died after being circumcised at a migrant centre in Italy.

"I'm not qualified to say that circumcision is always bad, because it isn't," says Lesley.
"It certainly was in my son's case and I think we need more research. We need to look into the risks, what can really go wrong, and we need to be more aware of them."
If circumcision is necessary, Mr Dorkin says it is important to tell patients about potential complications.
"Particularly when you are doing the operation in a guy who is in his late teenage years or early adulthood, it's a very sensitive area and <b><a href="http://www.drmomma.org/2009/10/how-male-circumcision-impacts-your-love.html">sexual function</a></b> is important, so you have to explain the risks to them," he says.<br />

"Alex wasn't alone. I now know he wasn't the only one that this has happened to. And that can't be right."
The UK charity 15 Square, which tries to educate people about circumcision, says Alex is not the only man to have killed himself after being circumcised.
"It happens more frequently than people realise," says chairman David Smith.
There are no statistics on men who have killed themselves after being circumcised.<br />
<br />
Alex died over a year ago but his story has not been told until now. An inquest into his death was held in the UK but it was not reported by the media.
Lesley, who is normally private and reserved like her son, only agreed to share Alex's story because it was his dying wish.
"If the following information can benefit anybody then it has served its purpose," he wrote.
"I did not feel comfortable raising the issue when I had a choice, so if my story can raise awareness to break this taboo within society regarding men's health then I am happy for release of my words.
"Alex said in his letter 'We stand on the shoulders of those who came before us'," says Lesley.
"This is the last thing I'm doing for my precious son."<br />

I am full of regret.<br />
<br />
I am a father, and I allowed my son to go through the same trauma I experienced.<br />
<br />
I had a natural and loving hesitation -- I asked the doctor, "Does it have to be done?"<br />
<br />
His answer should have been, "NO!"<br />
<br />
Instead it was an explanation of how it was "simple, painless, and healthy."<br />
<br />
I consented, and I saw the raw, bleeding, open wound on my son.<br />
<br />
He had adhesions for many years that would tear, bleed, and become infected. He almost constantly had pain, discomfort, and infections...<br />
<br />
Please, research the benefits of keeping your children intact and don't risk walking down this road we were forced to travel.<br />

However, this is not limited to intact adults. There are many 'yeasty' non-intact men who also pass yeast 'infections' back and forth between themselves and their partner. <div><br /></div><div>Yeast lives naturally on all humans, on all mammals, and everywhere in nature. It is normal (and even healthy) to have some. The problems becomes when yeast spores overgrow. This is easier done on some people than others, depending on a variety of factors (diet being one, and how someone baths/showers/or cares for their body is another). </div><div><br /></div><div>Many people are under the mistaken belief that they should use soap on the genitals to decrease yeast - this is counter productive and tends to disrupt flora. Or, it could be that things were disrupted from a young age when parents used soap on a child, or a child eats a hearty amount of processed (and sugary) non-foods. A child may grow up thinking they "smell" if they don't use soap -- but this is solely because the flora of the genitals became disrupted in the first place. In their healthy, natural, clean state (i.e. washed regularly with simply warm water), the human genitals are able to maintain their own balance. </div><div><br /></div><div>Babies who are in diapers also have the perfect environment for yeast to flourish -- warm, moist, with a sugar-rich diet (human milk or a substitute - necessary and very important for human infant brain and body growth, but with the potential to nourish yeast as well). A youngster can get into a cycle of feeding yeast (processed, sugary foods and drinks), supporting the habitat in which it grows, and then well-meaning parents do things to try and over clean (soaps, scrubs), or apply things to the diaper area that they hear of in parenting threads (cornstarch, powders, flour, lotion, essential oils, human milk, etc.), and make the situation worse. Thankfully, these cycles are easy to break free from, but it takes the willingness to step back and be more hands-off while the body rebalances. </div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-waxVVcq74Cg/YIwZwmiHcWI/AAAAAAAACI4/PXJVVVQvxfo_i6M-B-ItlYywhuxXSfn-gCLcBGAsYHQ/s960/No%2BSoap.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="960" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-waxVVcq74Cg/YIwZwmiHcWI/AAAAAAAACI4/PXJVVVQvxfo_i6M-B-ItlYywhuxXSfn-gCLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h400/No%2BSoap.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div><b>Some simple ways to make the body less likely to experience yeast overgrowth: </b></div><div><br /></div><div>1) Showers under warm water only (no soap, not even 'natural' soap on the genitals).</div><div><br /></div><div>2) Warm baths in <a href="https://amzn.to/3nz4VZf" target="_blank">epsom salt</a> (and a little <a href="https://amzn.to/2PAkMKm" target="_blank">boron salt</a> if desired - another anti-fungal natural mineral) -- 2 cups plain epsom salt (no perfumes or oils added), 2 Tablespoons boron (Borax is the most commonly sold refined brand of natural boron).</div><div><br /></div><div>3) Air dry - go underwear free at home when it is practical to do so (if you live in a private place, even being in the sunshine nude is healing for the body, and sunlight plus fresh air aids the skin and genitals in rebalancing microflora).</div><div><br /></div><div>4) Use only 100% cotton underwear of your chosen type - not too tight against the skin; not those with lining that is non-breathable.</div><div><br /></div><div>5) Increase whole food plants in the diet (and items like garlic, lemons, onions, ginger root, turmeric root, <a href="https://amzn.to/3nLZ42Z" target="_blank">black seed oil</a>, <a href="https://amzn.to/3nCFYME" target="_blank">d-mannose powder</a>, apple cider vinegar, also help to re-balance gut and genital flora). Smoothies or juicing vegetables and fruits makes this easy.</div><div><br /></div><div>6) Decrease processed non-food items and sugary items as much as possible. Dairy is also another culprit for many who have gut (intestinal) and yeast disturbances - switching to a nut-milk is one alternative, for example.</div><div><br /></div><div>7) Clotrimazole on the outside of the genitals when there is external yeast overgrowth. If internal in the vagina, use treatment options that are 7 days in length vs. the 1-3 day treatment options that tend to leave behind some of the stronger yeast spores to regrow. <a href="https://amzn.to/3xEobZI" target="_blank">Clotrimazole</a> will be cheapest at your local store pharmacy aisle in any generic version they stock.</div><div><br /></div><div>8) Calmoseptine on the outside when yeast causes raw skin, redness, rash, chaffing, irritation -- this is also antifungal and healing for the skin. It can also be used preventatively (say when traveling, or when swimming in a chlorine pool or bacteria filled lake). Using <a href="https://amzn.to/3e2rdzo" target="_blank">Calmoseptine</a> FIRST, before clotrimazole is applied for the first time, is the best course of action to most rapidly heal a yeast related rash on babies, children, or adults. The skin needs to be on its way to healing first, preventing further issues, before 'treatment' starts with clotrimazole for the fastest, most effective remedy. Apply Calmoseptine first, ideally after an epsom salt bath. Wait 4-6 hours, and then continue with the course of suggestions above and clotrimazole. Doing so allows exterior yeast issues to be remedied within 24-48 hours. Internal yeast overgrowth, or that which recurs often, is more complex and requires more of the above changes and/or treatments to remedy. Calmoseptine can be found <i>behind</i> the counter at most pharmacies (call to ask which pharmacy has a tube in stock near you), or on <a href="https://amzn.to/3e2rdzo" target="_blank">Amazon</a>. No prescription is needed. </div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_KibThAkBEc/YIwZosiNU9I/AAAAAAAACI0/San3IctfJTQH2kJIgRoIYdnm1wV5zidewCLcBGAsYHQ/s2000/Adult%2BRed%2BForeskin.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2000" data-original-width="2000" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_KibThAkBEc/YIwZosiNU9I/AAAAAAAACI0/San3IctfJTQH2kJIgRoIYdnm1wV5zidewCLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h400/Adult%2BRed%2BForeskin.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><b><a href="http://www.drmomma.org/2009/06/how-to-care-for-intact-penis-protect.html" target="_blank">Intact Care Resource Page</a></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><i>further resources on caring for your intact child</i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="http://Facebook.com/groups/IntactHealthy" target="_blank"><b>Intact: Healthy, Happy, Whole</b></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><i>an intact living community</i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="http://Facebook.com/groups/SavingOurSons" target="_blank"><b>Saving Our Sons Community</b></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><i>an advocacy group</i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="http://Facebook.com/groups/RaisingBoysToday" target="_blank"><b>Raising Boys</b></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><i>a mainstream group for those raising boys today</i></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HqwQak9wWzU/YIwaD0eQelI/AAAAAAAACJE/MqMdSXQvjzQZuE47GNF-RPhQlc1pjd6UACLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/the%2Bperfect%2Bbath.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="480" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HqwQak9wWzU/YIwaD0eQelI/AAAAAAAACJE/MqMdSXQvjzQZuE47GNF-RPhQlc1pjd6UACLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h480/the%2Bperfect%2Bbath.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>SOShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14439929838519626861noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-152955260192290179.post-21190322859411216012023-05-04T13:51:00.000-04:002023-05-31T22:59:42.602-04:00May the Foreskin Be With You!

<br />
I have to admit, I have never actually watched an entire <i>Star Wars</i> movie, but my husband is an avid <i>Star Wars</i> fan, so naturally our kids are too. Over the past few years of making <i>Star Wars</i> Halloween costumes and planning <i>Star Wars</i> birthday parties, I've grown familiar with the characters and become a little more into it than I ever would have expected. I find some of the characters cute - (have you seen an ewok? Adorable!) - and I become a little excited when I see a Yoda shirt or R2-D2 lunchbox in the store.<br />
<br />
My son was born on <b>Star Wars Weekend</b> (an event I only know because of my husband: "May the 4th be with you!" and "Revenge of the 5th"). So in honor of my son's birthday, I decided to create a fun, pro-intact meme that fit with the <i>Star Wars</i> theme to share on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/INTACTRI">Facebook</a>. My original idea was, "Your little Jedi needs his whole lightsaber" ...and then several other ideas started to surface. Soon, I was cracking myself up with witty slogans - I may not be a true <i>Star Wars</i> fan, but I'm clearly a true nerd!<br />
<br />
Once I had a handful of graphics created, I could not choose just one for my son's birthday, so I declared the entire week leading up to May the 4th "<a href="https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.411053802334876.1073741829.132009886905937&type=3">Intact Rhode Island's Star Wars WEEK</a>." It has been so much fun seeing the response these graphics (and the accompanying informative links) have received. Over the course of the past week they have reached tens of thousands of individuals on Facebook and <a href="http://pinterest.com/intactri/">Pinterest</a>, and have been shared by hundreds. Clearly, there are a lot of <i>Star Wars</i> fans out there, and <i>many</i> of them support leaving babies intact!<br />
<br />
I think it's awesome that so many people, who may not otherwise be interested in learning about the benefits of remaining intact and the detriments of circumcision, will be intrigued by fun <i>Star Wars</i> images popping up in their newsfeed and will discover some important information in the process.<br />

"But what if he doesn't take care of it when he's older...?!" asked a shocked relative on my wife's side of the family upon learning that our son would remain intact (not be circumcised). Little did she know that I am also fully able to enjoy all that I came into this world with, and, like countless men the globe over, I have never had these mythical troubles that so many Americans fear. As I light-heartedly assured her that day, intact care among men really is as simple as this:<br />
<br />
<b>Adult Intact Penis Care</b><br />
<br />
1) Remove clothes.<br />
2) Step into a warm shower.<br />
3) Rinse your body as you otherwise would.<br />
4) With a quick lift of one hand and light massage of the other, take 10 seconds to move around and rinse your (intact) penis, under warm running water. Do you retract fully? Great. Retract, rinse, replace. Do you have partial coverage, or not retract entirely? No problem. Rinse whatever is moveable. Water only. No soap (as that causes drying and irritation).<br />
5) When you've finished washing your hair, cleansing your arm pits (use soap there), or whatever else you do in the shower, step out. Dry off. Job finished.<br />
<br />
That is it.<br />
<br />
Trust me, this is a task that virtually any man on the planet can handle -- and will likely succeed in just fine <i>even if no one ever tells him what to do</i>! Your son will as well, I promise.<br />

⭐️⭐️ PLEASE HELP ⭐️⭐️ </div>
<br />
We have the opportunity to purchase 3 (used) circumstraints for use with the Silent Survivors Stand. New circumstraints retail at a hefty $560, and we do <b>not</b> wish to support the manufacture of these devices to grow the powerful SSS. However, a clinic is ceasing their practice of circumcision, and selling their 3 for $175 each. Please help us raise these funds so that 3 additional survivors of genital cutting can take part in the deeply moving Silent Survivors Stand at Genital Integrity Awareness Week this year (and beyond), and get them out of circulation -- using them instead for GOOD!<br />

<b>Silent Survivors Stand at GIAW 2019:</b><br />
<br />
There will be an SSS for those survivors who wish to participate at the U.S. Capitol 30 minutes before we pack up each evening of GIAW; and 30 minutes after arriving to the White House on Saturday of the <a href="https://www.genitalintegrityawarenessweek.com/schedule"><b>GIAW March</b></a>.<br />
<br />
We currently have 10 circumstraints for use in the SSS, and are striving to raise funds for 3 additional. If you have a circumstraint you'd like to donate toward the SSS, or sell to GIAW for a reasonable amount, please message the <a href="http://facebook.com/GenitalIntegrityAwarenessWeek"><b>GIAW FB page</b></a> or email SavingSons@gmail.com<br />
<br />
The SSS is a very powerful performance art piece that greatly moves those looking on. There are no spoken words or movements. Survivors of genital cutting each hold a circumstraint above their head, and/or in front of their chest, dressed casually in their everyday attire, for a moment of silence in deep honor and authentic recognition. Reflecting on this display, one gentleman, Michael, observed, "Silence, used in the right context, is DEAFENING. This can have a profound effect when used properly, and this is certainly one of those instances."<br />
<br />
During the SSS, materials are shared quietly and gently with those looking on so that they know what they are observing, and have a place to go for further information. Onlookers tend to gravitate toward this piece, with open eyes and inquisitive minds. Respectful outreach and compassionate connection is possible, and lives are changed for the better.<br />
<br />
The Silent Survivors Stand began in 2011 when our beloved friend and fellow advocate, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/HonoringVan/"><b>Van Lewis</b></a>, left this earth, and his wife, Mary Alda, donated his educational circumstraint to Danelle Day of Saving Our Sons.<br />
<br />
The first year, three survivors each separately took a stand with our single circumstraint - John B., Jonathon Conte, and David Wilson - in Washington D.C. in honor of Van, and all others impacted by genital cutting.<br />
<br />
We have made attempts to add at least one used circumstraint to the SSS in the years since, so that more survivors may participate collectively during public events. Saving Our Sons is exclusively run by <a href="http://www.savingsons.org/p/sponsor-son-waiting-list.html"><b>volunteers and donation</b></a>, and we <b>thank you</b> for being a part of this important effort in any way that fits you.<br />

It is with deeply heavy and grieving hearts that we pass along this note from Rosemary Romberg's husband, Steve. 💕<br />
<br />
Rosemary has always been a steadfast comrade for the cause, supporter of <a href="http://drmomma.org/">Peaceful Parenting</a>, <a href="http://savingsons.org/">Saving Our Sons</a>, all <a href="http://intactnetwork.org/">The Intact Network</a> chapters and leaders across the nation, and, more importantly, a kindred friend.
<br />
<br />
She is a 'regret parent' herself, who spoke compassionately with families about <a href="http://fb.com/FutureSons">Keeping Future Sons Intact</a>, and always shared her testimony authentically and honestly.
<br />
<br />
Rosemary remained steadfast in her faith, though storms would brew, and poured her heart into the <a href="http://fb.com/WholeChristian">Whole Christian Network</a>'s mission of reaching parents who otherwise thought they had to circumcise "because it's in the Bible."
<br />
<br />
Her book, "Circumcision: The Painful Dilemma" was one of the first of its kind, geared to parents in hopes of exposing the myths, lies, and misconceptions surrounding #circumcision and paving the way to an intact future. In recent years, she placed her book online for all to read freely: <a href="https://circumcisionthepainfuldilemma.wordpress.com/">https://circumcisionthepainfuldilemma.wordpress.com</a><br />
<br />
Rosemary purchased the 1981 images from the Saturday Evening Post article on circumcision so they would never be buried and remain publicly seen for the realities of what circumcision is. In 2008, Rosemary shared these with SOS, and they remain a poignant part of genital autonomy history: <a href="http://www.savingsons.org/2008/08/saturday-evening-post-december-1981.html">http://www.savingsons.org/2008/08/saturday-evening-post-december-1981.html</a><br />
<br />
In recent years, Rosemary traveled to <a href="http://fb.com/IntactVA">DC</a> to participate in <a href="http://genitalintegrityawarenessweek.org/">Genital Integrity Awareness Week</a> and other events we've co-hosted at the nation's capitol, and even when she was unable to attend, she steadfastly supported #GIAW and its mission. One year she sent a box of handmade bibs and ornaments (put together with love in Alaska) to share with <a href="http://facebook.com/SavingOurSons">Saving Our Sons</a> families. She had several stampers with intact messages, that she used to plant messages everywhere she went - often between <a href="http://facebook.com/IntactAK">Alaska</a> and <a href="http://fb.com/IntactHI">Hawaii</a>. 💜
<br />
<br />
There is so very much more to share and say about this beautiful, amazing, strong, compassionate and wise woman, but for now, tonight, our hearts and love and prayers go out to her dear family. Thank you so very much for sharing Rosemary with us over all these years. <b>Our lives are forever blessed because of her.</b><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
“Our generation (I was born in 1947) grew up seeing the adult world as 'the enemy.' We were spanked if we did wrong. We were bawled out and told that we had no right to be frightened and reluctant if we were scared about going to the doctor or dentist. We grew up bullied, so thought that was what parenting was all about. It has taken us a lot of re-thinking and undoing to learn not to be as hard-hearted as our parents, teachers, and others had been to us. A child's feelings should never be invalidated." -Rosemary Romberg on <a href="http://fb.com/PeacefulParenting">peaceful parenting</a></blockquote>

<br />
The following is a letter to <a href="http://savingsons.org/">Saving Our Sons</a>:<br />
<br />
<br />
I want to thank you for all you do in educating people about the cruel and unnecessary act of male genital mutilation. You work to open so many minds on this archaic process <b><a href="http://www.drmomma.org/2007/05/circumcision-brief-history-in.html">built on lies</a></b>. <br />
<br />
I recently lost my second son to SIDS at 24 days old. He was a beautiful healthy baby boy who tragically passed away in his sleep. The medical examiner found absolutely nothing wrong with him. He had an extensive autopsy, and all reports showed nothing wrong.
<br />
<br />
The hospital I birthed him at kept asking me over and over again if I was going to have him circumcised. Everytime my answer was a clear NO! A day later as I nursed my sweet, perfect baby boy, a nurse came into my room and said, "I am here to take him for his procedure."
<br />
<br />
I asked, "What procedure?"
<br />
<br />
She answered, "His circumcision."
<br />
<br />
I said, "He is NOT being circumcised."
<br />
<br />
She replied, "Well, he is on the board out in the nurse's station to be circumcised."
<br />
<br />
I said, "Absolutely not! I don't know who put him on that board but I have clearly stated over and over he is not to be circumcised."
<br />
<br />
She turned red in the face and apologized. She said someone must have made a mistake.
<br />
<br />
My point is that a parent has to be diligent in making sure that even though they say NO to genital cutting, that is not done 'by mistake.'
<br />
<br />
After losing my baby boy I realized that I had to speak up and say something. I am having a difficult time as it is, and if he had suffered that unimaginable pain in his short life I would never be able to live with myself. I just want to warn other mothers and fathers. Some parents send their babies to the nursery to get some rest, and if they take them to circumcise, then the parents would not know until it is too late.<br />
<br />
One thing I take solace in is knowing my son never had to experience any suffering, including circumcision. If I had not questioned that nurse he would have been wheeled away to face mutilation that no baby boy deserves.
<br />

This is especially true for Jewish couples who are taught that circumcision is required by religious laws. The majority of parents are unaware of the harm of circumcision. Even if parents become educated about the procedure, they may find themselves in disagreement with each other and have difficulty resolving these differences. They need support and time to make this critical decision.</p><p style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">This paper explores why parents might not be educated about circumcision. It gives examples of how educators can provide accurate information and assistance through this confusing and emotional decision-making process.</p><h2 style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; line-height: 18px;">STATUS OF CIRCUMCISION IN THE UNITED STATES</h2><p style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">No national medical association recommends routine neonatal male circumcision, and the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of the Child includes the right to physical integrity. Eighty percent of men in the world are genitally intact, but sixty percent (1,100,000 annually) of newborn males in the United States are subjected to circumcision according to the Health Care Investment Analysts (HCIA, 1999).</p><p style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">During medical training, doctors and midwives receive scant and often inaccurate information about the anatomy and physiology of the foreskin, and they learn to do circumcisions. Many continue to perform this unnecessary cosmetic surgery despite the availability of current data documenting its harm. Most prenatal care providers also receive inadequate information during their training, so they are unable to inform parents about the benefits of allowing their sons to remain intact. Childbirth books, which minimize the dangers and disadvantages of circumcision, leave expectant parents confused, or even convinced that circumcision is desirable.</p><p style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">The situation does not improve after birth. Nurses and doctors may repeatedly solicit a mother during her hospital stay. A mother who has just given birth in the hospital is vulnerable, and not inclined to investigate the issue. Most parents believe in the expertise of the medical community, and expect doctors to make medical decisions for them, trusting these to be in the best interest of the child. These factors explain how easily new parents can 'sign off' on circumcision. After the surgery, parents may be deeply shocked and pained when they see their son's penile wound and realize just what they authorized. Jewish couples often take for granted that their son will be circumcised. Jews are taught that the bris is an essential life-cycle ceremony and the sign of the Covenant between God and Abraham. A bris is a religious ritual for Jewish boys, which must be done eight days after birth. It is held at the newborn's home or a synagogue. At the bris, a mohel, the Jewish religious circumciser, does the circumcision and recites prayers while family and friends watch. Some Jews opt to have their sons circumcised in the hospital without realizing this does not fulfill the religious requirement.</p><h3 style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;">The Taboo Topic</h3><p style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">The topic of circumcision brings discomfort to many people. Men do not want to reflect on the pain, trauma, and loss that were inflicted upon them. Women may not want to be reminded that they allowed it for their sons. Doctors and midwives find it uncomfortable to realize that they have caused harm to newborns. Nurses routinely prepare babies for their circumcisions, while inwardly they may question the procedure. Although human rights organizations have made tremendous strides in educational outreach for more than twenty years, cultural resistance in the press and medical associations, have kept many people still unaware of their efforts. Thus, uninformed couples rarely discuss the topic before marriage or pregnancy. This silence perpetuates misinformation and thwarts education, so the cycle continues. Even parents who are aware of the circumcision question before giving birth may have trouble obtaining enough information to make an informed decision. Non-religious Jews in the United States may opt for circumcision, erroneously assuming it to be preferable since it is performed routinely, and they are unaware that it is not a standard procedure in other countries.</p><p style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">Since circumcision has been such an integral part of Jewish religion and culture for millennia, the topic is rarely discussed. Yet, guests at a bris commonly manifest visible discomfort. Jokes are told. Women may stand apart from the area where the circumcision occurs. The mother may cry. Often the baby screams. Excuses are made: he is crying because he is being restrained. The emotions of these people are discounted or ignored, so the tradition continues.</p><h2 style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; line-height: 18px;">MAKING A CHOICE AGAINST CIRCUMCISION</h2><p style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">How is it decided that a newborn male will be left intact? For some parents, once they learn that the procedure causes their sons pain and harm, and that newborns do feel and remember pain, they opt against it. Parents might encounter an article that exposes the harm of the procedure, or see an educational display at a health or baby fair. If they are curious and open-minded, they may then explore the Internet. Expectant parents who see a video of a medical circumcision are often convinced to leave their sons intact. Some parents come from countries where circumcision is not performed, and, therefore, they will not allow it for their sons.</p><p style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">A knowledgeable childbirth educator, midwife, physician, friend, or relative may educate parents. Some medical professionals share with their patients that their own sons are intact or that they have stopped doing circumcisions, and they will not even make a referral to a circumciser. Jews who do not feel compelled to circumcise for religious reasons, and who understand the functional loss, may also opt against circumcision. And finally, couples whose relatives are supportive of their decision find it easier to opt against circumcision.</p><h3 style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;">A Difficult Decision for Jewish Parents</h3><p style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">Now that the topic of circumcision is being discussed more frequently in the press and childbirth classes, some expectant Jewish couples are suddenly faced with a dilemma. Once they learn that circumcision causes pain and lasting harm, they may be torn between observing the religious ritual and not wanting to inflict trauma on their son. Those who dare to broach the topic with other Jewish colleagues, friends, family, and medical professionals are often disappointed that their views are not shared. They may even be condemned for their concern over their child's welfare. Grandparents may threaten to sever relations. Some parents succumb to these pressures and later regret it. Jewish parents struggle with the following questions:</p><ul><li style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Will my son still be considered Jewish?</li><li style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Will he feel different in a predominately Jewish neighborhood?</li><li style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Will he be allowed to have a bar mitzvah?</li><li style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Will a Jewish woman want to marry my son?</li><li style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">How do I clean my young son's intact penis?</li><li style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">What if his foreskin gets infected?</li><li style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Who can I turn to for answers to these questions?</li></ul><h3 style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;">Where To Go For Information</h3><p style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">Many parents who are grappling with these issues are turning to the following organizations. These groups work to ensure the bodily integrity of all non-consenting minors worldwide. The National Organization of Circumcision Information Resource Centers (NOCIRC) has the most comprehensive and multidisciplinary information on the benefits of being intact and care of the intact penis. With over one hundred centers in fifteen counties it hosts biennial international symposia and publishes the proceedings. The organization can also refer parents to knowledgeable professionals for any medical, ethical, or legal question.</p><p style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">Doctors Opposing Circumcision, (DOC) educates medical professionals on the anatomy and physiology of intact genitalia. One of their goals is to have this information included in medical textbooks. DOC can suggest non-surgical alternatives when a circumcision is erroneously recommended for an older boy. (Fleiss, 2000). Nurses for the Rights of the Child is an organization of conscientious objector nurses who refuse to participate in the circumcision of babies. They educate nurses, parents, and doctors.</p><p style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">The International Coalition for Genital Integrity is a coalition of organizations, professionals, and activists working to protect males, females, and intersex children from unnecessary genital surgery.</p><p style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">Attorneys for the Rights of the Child (ARC), an international network of attorneys, encourages professionals in various fields, including medical ethics, psychology, and children's rights to incorporate genital integrity awareness into their work. In addition, they assist in legal cases when a baby is circumcised without the consent of the parents or when there is a complication or death due to a circumcision.</p><p style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">Jewish Associates of the Circumcision Resource Center and NOCIRC are also a source of information and support for Jewish parents. Expectant parents can learn about Jews in the United States and Israel who are not allowing their sons to be circumcised. Some of these parents belong to synagogues and their sons have bar mitzvahs. Educators are able to put expectant parents in touch with other Jewish couples who have left their sons intact. Some Jewish couples elect to have an alternative bris, a Bris Shalom (Covenant of Peace), a welcoming ceremony where prayers are recited and the circumcision is omitted. Instead of a mohel, a rabbi, relative, or friend of the family conducts the ceremony. Educators can supply a variety of texts for the ceremony. Educators share stories of Jewish couples that have encountered extreme disapproval from their parents. By responding with empathy, not anger, many have healed the rift. Grandparents may, once they see their grandchild, fall in love with him and never discuss the topic again.</p><h2 style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; line-height: 18px;">WHEN PARTNERS REACH AN IMPASSE</h2><p style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">A problem arises when the parent who insists on the circumcision is so adamant that he or she will not discuss the issue. The parent opposed to the circumcision often does not know how to get beyond this impasse. Fathers may be in denial about the harm that was done to them. Mothers, despite their instinct to protect their child, may be unwilling to exert their influence in a male-dominated ritual. If one spouse is not Jewish, he or she is often hesitant to challenge this Jewish custom. The decision causes them immense pain and conflict because they do not wish to hurt their spouse in the process of protecting their child. Unfortunately, at a time when the family needs to be close and in harmony to welcome their newborn, parents may find themselves in agonizing disagreement. The parent opposed to the circumcision worries:</p><ul><li style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">How will this affect my relationship with my partner?</li><li style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Will I ever be able to forgive myself if I allow my son to be circumcised?</li><li style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">How can I ensure that my son will be left intact?</li></ul><p style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">My own personal experience led me to become a director of a regional NOCIRC center so that I could assist other Jewish parents who find themselves in this dilemma. When a parent who wishes to protect his or her child from circumcision calls for support, we discuss their specific situation.</p><p style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">Then, if it is the mother who is opposed and the father who is circumcised, I suggest she say to him, "I wish I could have been an advocate for you when your parents were making their decision." This should be discussed when there are no time constraints and only if she is willing to be very empathetic. For many men, this leads them to reflect, for the first time, on their own circumcision.</p><p style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">Another important question to ask the parent is, "What are you afraid will happen if you leave your son intact?" If the parent who opposes the circumcision feels discouraged, I ask him or her to imagine, "If you were the unborn boy, what would you want your parent to do to protect you?"</p><p style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">When there seems to be no possible resolution, some parents consider giving up. At this point, I share stories of parents who deeply regret relinquishing their input. One woman told me that only after the circumcision did her husband admit he had been waiting for someone to stop him. Unfortunately, in our culture it is rare that someone will intervene to stop a circumcision, especially if the parent is Jewish. Therefore, each person has to take responsibility for the consequences of his or her decision.</p><p style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">I also share the thoughts of others who have been through the process:</p><ul><li style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">What if the opposing parent changes his or her mind?</li><li style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Do not do what you cannot undo.</li><li style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">First, do no harm.</li><li style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Do unto others, as you would have others do unto you.</li><li style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">If Jewish women are considered Jewish without having been circumcised, why must it be different for Jewish men?</li></ul><h3 style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;">Possible Outcomes</h3><p style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">Ideally, the spouse who wanted the circumcision will understand the harm, and agree not to allow it. Sometimes, the parent in favor of the circumcision, has a change of heart after the birth of the baby. If the parents remain in disagreement, it is in the best interest of the child to postpone the bris. A delay may ensure that the boy will be left intact. During this time, the parent who desires the circumcision may change his or her mind and be grateful the baby was not cut. Once done, it cannot be reversed. Sometimes the disagreement is resolved in favor of circumcision. In this situation, the resistant parent feels remorse for failing to protect the child, and may harbor resentment towards his or her spouse. Of course, if the baby is left intact, the parent in favor of circumcision also may harbor resentment.</p><p style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">Sometimes the mother is so opposed to the circumcision that she decides to be with her son twenty-four hours a day to ensure that no one will circumcise the baby without her consent. She has decided to stand by her instinct to protect her child, even if this places a strain on the marital relationship.</p><p style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">When a mother unwillingly consents to have her son circumcised, she experiences tremendous inner turmoil. If she opts not to allow her son to be circumcised, she may encounter disapproval or rejection by her spouse or close friends and relatives. It seems unjust that a religious requirement should place the family in such a dilemma.</p><h2 style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; line-height: 18px;">SHATTERING THE SILENCE</h2><p style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">When Jewish women learn about my work, they often confide in me and share stories they have never told anyone else. One woman told me that, at her son's bris twenty-five years before, as she stood weeping outside the room where her son was being circumcised, a female relative remarked, "Get a grip. We've all been through this." A mother with a five-year-old son told me her son's circumcision was so botched; that a pediatric urologist recommended reconstructive surgery. She refused, not wanting to cause him further trauma. She wanted to sue, but did not know whom to ask to represent her.</p><p style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">Yet another mother told me she was not given the information for care of the wound until after the bris. No mention was made of it during her conversation with the mohel when the time and place of the bris was arranged. In addition, none of the friends she had asked to recommend a mohel mentioned post-circumcision care. She was shocked when she saw her son's raw penis, and felt deep remorse that he was circumcised. Unfortunately, this mother, like many Americans, was not taught that the foreskin is attached to the glans at birth and its amputation is similar to removing a fingernail from its nail bed. Many erroneously think a circumcision is like having an ear pierced. Some mothers tell me of their son's extensive bleeding. Others say they will never forget their baby's screams.</p><p style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">When I am exhibiting at booths, Jewish parents stop by and share their stories. For many, it is the first time they have been heard and understood. Some reveal their own pain about their son's circumcision. Others share that their sons are intact.</p><h3 style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;">Impact on the Individual, Marriage, and Family</h3><p style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">As parents begin to explore this issue, long buried feelings may surface. Couples are faced with conflict resolution. Some parents emerge stronger having been able to assert themselves. Others may feel disempowered, guilty, ashamed, resentful, or angry. From a psychological perspective, questions emerge:</p><ul><li style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">How does this tension impact the marriage?</li><li style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">What affect does it have on the father's relationship to the child?</li><li style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">How is the mother's relationship with the son affected?</li><li style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">How does it alter the life of the boy and the man he will become?</li><li style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">How will it affect the future relationships he has with women?</li></ul><p style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">One of the first books to explore the generally unrecognized psychological and social consequences of the procedure is Circumcision: The Hidden Trauma by Ronald Goldman (1997). More parents will be helped when counselors recognize the necessity for followup support. There is also a need to acknowledge and examine the impact on the maternal infant bond as well as male and female relationships and sexuality.</p><h2 style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; line-height: 18px;"><p style="color: black; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;"></p>CHANGING TRADITION FROM BRIS MILAH TO BRIS SHALOM</h2><p style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">As the discussion of circumcision becomes commonplace, and more Jewish parents are open about their decision not to circumcise, Jews will become aware of their choices before they are married. The opportunity for unhurried communication diminishes potential marital conflicts, and hopefully ensures that more Jewish boys will be left intact.</p><p style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">When parents choose not to have their child circumcised, they are being courageous in challenging a rarely questioned ritual. Those who opt for an alternative bris are creating a new tradition; one that affirms that our religion is manifested in our hearts and souls and not in the genitals of our newborn sons.</p><p style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">Suppressing the anguish and pain of both the parents and the circumcised infant negatively impacts family relationships. By creating a beautiful welcoming ceremony, that unites the family and focuses on the well being of newborns; the couple's relationship will be enhanced instead of strained. Since the family is so important for the passing on of Jewish traditions and values to future generations, rituals should help to maintain family closeness; the alternative bris, Bris Shalom, does just this. Although some people fear this change, parents who have chosen this option feel joyful that they are at the forefront of a cultural shift, which acknowledges the bodily integrity of our precious newborns.</p><h2 style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; line-height: 18px;">REFERENCES</h2><p style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">Fleiss, P.

☃ Saving Our Sons began in 2008, and since that time our work has been led by a handful of volunteers, educators, and professionals striving to empower parents, raise awareness, and make life better for babies and children, and men they become.<br />
<br />
While the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/SavingOurSons/">online Saving Our Sons</a> community has grown to over 90,000, and includes a wide and diverse audience, there is still a very small number handling everything here at 'home base' -- keeping the underlying foundation of SOS a positive, proactive, and pro-intact one.<br />
<br />
We operate solely by volunteers and <a href="http://www.savingsons.org/p/sponsor-son-waiting-list.html">donation</a>, and the past 9+ years are testimony of the baby-saving ripple effect that a small few can have with devotion, action, and a pooling of hearts and resources.<br />
<br />
With this in mind, we *love* hearing from families who have found Saving Our Sons over the years and have had their lives touched by SOS in one way or another. It is a blessing to correspond with you, to work together in this global effort, as well as at the grassroots level, and we always look forward to hearing from you.
If you are sending greetings at this time of year, we would love to hear from you. ❤<br />

<br />
To all my intactivist friends who know what it is like to try with <i>all your heart</i> to educate expecting parents, to try and spare a child from genital cutting, only to learn later that his parents had him cut anyway...<br />
<br />
<b>I thank you. </b><br />
<br />
You should never, ever feel like YOU failed or did anything wrong.<br />
<br />
Let me tell you, as a victim of genital cutting myself, what you did for that baby boy:<br />
<br />
You were the only one who spoke for him at his most vulnerable.<br />
<br />
Do you know how incredibly HUGE that is?<br />
<br />
Do you know how important that will one day be to him?<br />
<br />
What it will mean to him?<br />
<br />
Let me answer that.<br />
<br />
No one spoke out for me.<br />
No one.<br />
Not one single person in my entire family, group of family friends, or even my community spoke even one single word for my sake when I was vulnerable and needed protection.<br />
Not one damn soul.<br />
Not a syllable of protest.<br />
<br />
YOU didn't stay silent.<br />
<br />
YOU cared enough to make your feelings and facts known.<br />
<br />
You were the person who put the needs of those babies ahead of your own.<br />
<br />
You were the only one who truly granted them their humanity.<br />
<br />
Do you know what I would give to have just one person in my life to have given me a gift like that? Just one single person in my family, or my community, who wasn't complicit, silent, or uninterested in my fate at as a human being. Do you know what it would mean to me to have just one single person in my life who actually TRIED to save me?
It would mean the world.<br />
<br />
I actually have tears in my eyes thinking about this. I have no one who even tried to speak for me. To everyone else I was nothing more than disposable property.
I would kill to have someone like <b>you</b> in my life. Someone who cared. Even if she didn't succeed in saving me. Just to know one single person cared enough to <i>try</i> might be enough to change things for me immeasurably.<br />
<br />
You didn't fail.<br />
<br />
You are a HERO.<br />
<br />
I love you for speaking out. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for trying so hard. You've given those poor boys a voice when they had none. And that means so much more than you can possibly imagine.<br />

Most of the world's sexually active men are happily intact for a lifetime. And because the majority of today's parents in the United States are also keeping their sons intact, future generations of men in the U.S. will come into maturity with all they were meant to have as well -- making the following useful information to know.<br />
