Circ and Piercing

Fluffy Baby · #1 July 4th, 2007, 11:34 PM

The circ and piercing threads and some things that are said in them got me thinking and I was wondering about this. Please no debating, we have kept the other threads civil, I don't really want this one closed either.

Edited to change wording in poll.

I'm a circer and a piercer. Piercer of ears only that is! I have a teenage daughter.

LOL I thought this was going to be about piercing circed penises

#4 July 5th, 2007, 03:20 AM

I said no to circ, yes to ear piercing (altho I don't have a little girl yet!)

Me too!

For the record, I'm against pierced baby penises.

I have circed my son. I don't have a daughter, but I don't think I'd pierce her ears - I'm not AGAINST it, it just isn't my bag.

Will not circ, but did pierce my DD's ears at 3 months and no regret whatsoever! I know many compare the two, but I do not see them as the same thing and do not find my stance hypocritical at all. Won't say anymore since this is not a debate, and I'm heading out of town in two hours!

I think you all know I agree with piercing lol.But I dont agree with circ unless its for medical reasons.
I dont regret piercing my daughter and she loves it too soooo...

I had my daughter's ears pierced at 3 months (well, actually I pierced them myself, but I've also been trained to do so) and I will circumcise my son when he's born.

lotus86 · #9 July 5th, 2007, 05:45 AM

I disagree with both. The only way a son of mine will be circumcised is if it is medically necessary (which is rare).

#10 July 5th, 2007, 06:02 AM

Yes, son is circ'd

No, daughters' ears will not be pierced

Yes, we live in the US

I regret the circ and will never allow it on future sons for a non-medical reason

My son, (and future ones) are circumsized.

I didnt get my girls ears pierced as babies, but ONLY because I didnt want to deal with it not because I think there is anything wrong with it.

If I had a son he would be circ.

I would pierce my DD's ears, too. But I did not yet.

And I dont disagree with either

M4NE · #14 July 5th, 2007, 08:18 AM

All three of my boys are intact.
I don't have a daughter, but I would probably wait about piercing her ears if I had one.
I really don't have a problem with piercing or circ'ing....It's a decision each family has to make themselves.
I live in the US.
I haven't done either so the last question is NA.

Banned-luvnallmyboys · #15 July 5th, 2007, 08:19 AM

I put that I don't agree with either, but I don't think that the two are really comparable. One is a fairly major surgery that is permanent, and while I know the holes from piercings may stay forever (mine have been there since I was seven, and I haven't worn earrings for over 10 years) its not a very intrusive scar.

All these circing threads without being allowed to debate are driving me crazy! I'm having a tough time watching my words to make sure no one can possibly be offended or challenged!

Gotta love challenges not to debate, lol.

Raela · #17 July 5th, 2007, 08:34 AM

Our son is circ'd and any future ones will be as well. If we ever have a daughter, her ears will probablyb e pierced, I'm not 100% sure though. It's just not something I've thought about much.

We don't regret our decision to circ or son.

julieet76 · #18 July 5th, 2007, 08:43 AM

Both my boys are circ.
I never thought twice when I circ my oldest but had a tough time deciding with my youngest boy.
since I don't have a girl it is tough to say what I would do especially since my husband has a opioion too.
Most likely I would wait on her peircing her ears.
The biggest reason is because I can not wear earrings I have pierced mine a dozen times and no matter what type of metal, gold, silver, or how often I clean them they get infected and grow closed. I am just allergic to the metals.
Even when I had pins in my arms those had a adverse reaction and got proud flesh. So there is no way I would want to put my baby through the chance of being like me.
