They dont have to be circumcised there is no reason asociated with health or hygene why the removal of the foreskin should be considered. The main reason for circumsision is as a blood sacrifice to god in religions, it is also used as a right of pasage into manhood. Non religious circumcision was begun in britain and then on into other british speaking cultures under the false premice that it would stop boys from masturbating which was held responsible for over a hundred diferent diseases. when it became obvious that this was nonsense hygene was pushed as the reason however there is no hygene advantage in circumcision.

It is considered preferable to be circumcised when still an infant instead of waiting until puberty. Would be easier on the child. The rite of circumcision is considered cleansing at the time and in the future because makes cleaning easier.

Why is it important for the boys to be circumcised?

It is not important for boys to get circumcised. The glans penis in all mammals is an internal organ and does not perform properly if it remains constantly exposed. The foreskin is there to protect it from mechanical friction and from dirt and bacteria. The foreskin is also a major erogenous area with more then 20.000 nerves to improve sexual pleasure. Children that are circumcised run the risk of major damage being done to the glans penis a higher rate of infection of the penis and urethra and the gradual deadening of sensation to the glans.


Is it true that most boy scouts are circumcised like you?

Circumcision is usually a choice made by the parents of the boy though some adult men get circumcised later in life. Most have their son circumcised for cleanliness reasons or because of their religion. Not everyone is circumcised and it is definitely not something group based like boy scouts. I'm sure there are boys in your group who still have their foreskin.


How do you explain to your parents that you aren't circumcised?

Boys are not born as circumcised or not circumcised. Circumcision is a surgical procedure. As a minor, it is something that your parents would have to decide to have done. If you are not circumcised, it is because they did not choose to have the procedure done. This would in all likelihood mean that they are already quite aware. There is no need to explain to them. However, if you think that it is something that you want done, you would need to have that talk with the separately.
