The Circumcision Decision | Dude Turned Dad, Season 1, Ep 12

0:00 I don't know how this came up I mean I guess cuz we're always just talking about our sons ding-dong yeah it's just like hey hello how are you how's your son's penis great looks good today great excellent last week I mentioned that I actually missed my son's circumcision I ate a sandwich while my son got circumcised here's that brief story a young young young doctor came into the room told us that he would perform a circumcision we said great

0:28 then he said hey I actually have to go somewhere right now I said I'm gonna go get a sandwich for me and my wife idly the young doctor comes back hey actually that thing I said I had to do don't have to do it do you want to do the circumcision that Caitlyn panics she just go okay my wife text me we're cutting off your son's penis get back here I rushed back to the room it's too

0:46 late my son's five skin was now a foreskin so I told this story to a couple of friends specifically I talked to my one friend will and he told me that he didn't circumcise his kid and I was kind of shocked by this quiénes wife's brother are actually super funny and their kid is adorable here's a picture of one of will and Trevor's engagement photos they're very funny so I sat down with will at the puddly

1:10 offices to find out why he left the Hat on his son's young pope the majority of American men have been circumcised right when I circumcised my son I was talking to you about it and I think I just kind of made the assumption I was just like whoa I mean was it weird when you circumcised your son and you said I did not circumcise my son my wife said if it's a boy it's your choice do whatever

1:36 you want to do my wife said the exact same thing and for the longest time I just had this thought that ran through my head a boy's penis should look like his father's in tradition it came down to the moment I'm going back and forth and the doctor goes so we can do the circumcision now and I just said nope to my wife and she said oh okay guess what it's been normal it just looks like

2:00 ya dingus just a fresh ting yes it's a dingus with a little crown has it been weird to clean a smegma right that said you're ready teaching your kid had a clean and body and clean his penis as long as he does that that's not gonna be an issue and there was this article in Vice vice.com know what happens to the clipped foreskin when it's all done I assume they use it for something they should do

2:31 Adam some go to research for companies that do skin grafts for burn victims it's a wonderful use that makes me feel good it's used as eyelid replacements and eyelid surgery also a great use yes the thing that really bugs me was that it goes to cosmetics used in the beauty market yeah to make different serums that you could rub on your face to make you look younger like my son a doesn't have any choice in the matter

2:58 and I also as a parent don't have a choice on where I'd like a piece of him to go and that ethically like bothers me that Cate Blanchett and Vogue said she got a penis facial I mean isn't she one of our greatest actresses shouldn't she I mean that got of that Oscar gold I'm Jewish which is why I'm circumcised and so I think when it came to circumcise in my son it is wrapped up in

3:24 culture and the boys culture should look like his father's culture perhaps yeah I think there are so many battles every single day and so many potential risks I'm only two and a half years into being a dad and we're still learning new stuff you know daily I have to put trust into the daycare workers that they're vice.com I gotta put trust into vice.com my favorite website I mean - no no no I'm by no way an expert on parenting even

3:54 though the blurb under my name says baby penis expert but it's certainly one that's kind of a lightning-rod like a lot of parenting issues so talking to someone who is well informed and thank you I'm not well informed I just did some googling should we show each other sure I just want to thank will for the super interesting conversation he made a lot of excellent points I just want to

4:24 speak quickly to all the dads out there for the most part as far as I can tell this is a male decision and it's mainly that because women don't care about it as my wife said look circumcised or don't circumcise it's still a penis and it's still gross the idea that this is a cosmetic surgery is sort of silly I mean it's not like I gave my penis a haircut and all of a sudden it looks like shawn

4:44 mendes shawn mendes is cool right I'm still young on the flip side I do think that sometimes we walk blindly in traditions there are plenty of things that I think to myself I'm gonna do this this way because that's how my parents did it and how I was raised I don't really like the idea that my son's foreskin may be used in some beauty cream for Gwyneth Paltrow guys she's a little much it all comes down to personal preference you make the

5:06 choice that works for you like my friend will said just looks like a dingus and for those of you who didn't want to watch an entire video about penises it's almost over as the rabbi said to the young boy at the bris don't worry it won't be long now thanks for watching this week guys thanks so much for watching do too dad this week on YouTube if you want more great fatherly content why don't you click the subscribe button and if you
