If you read the above paragraph and the links, doctors found no link between "decreased sexual pleasure" and circumcision.

I actually don't really think this is a true litmus test:

I kept thinking I was doing it entirely sneakily, without anyone the wiser, until my sister said to me, "Stop checking your boobs."

I know. It's just not rational, but at the time, you think it's perfectly legitimate. I cried for every bottle of formula I had to give in the beginning, thinking that perhaps I could let him go hungry a bit, rather than just realize that all the anxiety and worry was just not worth it.

I don't understand that. There's a golf club nearby that definitely doesn't allow orthodox Jews there, and many don't allow women as members.

I just finished pumping a month ago. I was pumping nine times a day, including waking myself up at night, in order to just maintain about 50% of my baby's intake. A few thoughts:

Same here. I went back to work at four weeks, and pumped like crazy. At about 3 or 4 months, all of a sudden, huge drop off. Also, as soon as I started to give baby the bottle during the day, he wanted nothing more to do with my boobs at night. He actually gagged on my nipple. I was so insulted!

Nope! No validity to timing! No scientific research ever confirmed something like that.

This is my worst nightmare. I have four boys, and I'm just going to stop.

I grew up with conservatives, most of my friends are conservatives, I'm surrounded by conservatives. For the most part, I agree with their stances on government spending, some foreign policy, budget concerns, etc. However, while the GOP has latched onto some "solutions" to current environmental and economical…

I think, though, that the question arises what you (and many others in your position) will do when "MiniDork" goes to school all day.

Ugh. Anyone who peppers his reviews with "most unfortunate," and "most disappointing" when complaining that his bread basket offered too few a selection (sniff! No pretzel rolls and garlic knots!) and his ice cream wasn't made into a sundae is just completely insufferable, no matter what his prior experiences.

Wow. Seriously, wow. I need some dry cleaning and some massages.

At least you don't sound as awful as the guy you linked to. Seriously, does anything make that man happy in life?

I do NOT believe this! Which airline?!

Your best friend's uncle didn't want to go to the Gaza hospital? Why do all the Palestinians hate Israel so much and decide they want to live in Gaza, outside Israeli government, and then suddenly, they all want to go back there for hospital and health care.

Aha. Abortion = circumcision. Got us there! You genius!

What? That's horrible. You got a really lousy doctor. I've watched all four of my sons get circumcised by a mohel, and believe it or not, they whimpered and that was it. They had tylenol, numbing cream, and done!

I have four boys, all of them circumcised. I also live in Southern California, and we had an amazing mohel. We gave the babies tylenol before, put numbing cream on, gave them a little wine-soaked rag to suck on later, and voila! Happy babies. I know I could have used a stiff drink. We also kept the penis bandaged…

Sure they do.
