Funny thing about that is that bathing only became common practice in the 1950s.

Can't even imagine how people smelled before then.

I lucked out with this one! He's concerned with his hygiene (though he's been known to blow off the deadliest farts known to man...).

That is extremely disturbing.

Having a part of your body removed is going to hurt after the actual removal, too.

Again, if you could have heard the noises my 21 YO ex-BIL was making in the bathroom after he had to get it done you'd have a very different opinion.

It was done to me as a newborn and I did the same to my kid. Zero problems.

What's the big deal?
They might not want to be circumcised.

My gran grew up in the 1940s/50s and her parents didn't have running water or electricity until she was about 10 years old. Her and her siblings shared the bathwater (she had 3 sisters and 4 brothers - she was the baby) in order of age. The water was fetched from the creek. Granted, they did live on a farm, but I assume people who lived in town didn't have it much better.

She was also put to work, just the same as her siblings. She has this wonderful story about a time when her brother let a headless chicken chase her around the farm for a good while.

We're really not so far away from the uncivilized world.

Yeah, it's the stitches and they pull as the swelling goes down. Plus urine is really salty which stings like hell from what he told me.

As a newborn they slice the large tube sticking out of your belly button that's been feeding you for nine months. A little extra off the end of your weenie is no big deal.

This thread is a mind blower.
