Proud Mom Announces Her Son’s Circumcision on Facebook
The tradition of circumcision is alive and well in the Philippines. I know there are anti-circumcision groups being formed in the good old imperial nation and they probably want to rain down on the Philippines and re-educate Filipinos on why we should not circumcise our boys.
Here is a screen shot of the circumcision announcement on Facebook:
For the non-Filipinos reading my blog, I’ll expose you to some Filipino culture shock.
My son’s classmate, 9 year old Blaine got circumsized today and his proud mommy is announcing it to all her friends on Facebook!
I censored mom’s name because the anti-circumcision Taliban might harass her.
Reasons why Filipino women are adamant about circumcision:
#1 – Hygiene: Filipina women are of the opinion that un-circumcised “peters” are unsanitary, they have smegma / “kupal” where “kupal” is a derogatory swear word insinuating you stink because you have “kupal” and assumed uncircumcised. Un-circumcised “peters” will always smell worse than circumcised “peters.”
You can ask the more “experienced” Filipino women, or those in the “trade” and they will tell you their immediate preference for circumcised and their complaint when they get an uncircumcised “peter”.
#2 – Sign of Manhood, entering teens, may now court girls. A teenage boy in the Philippines will be too ashamed to court any girl if he is uncircumcised. His fellows and the ladies or elders will ask him why he has the gumption to court a girl and ask tease him if he is circumcised.
#3 – Circumcision is so ingrained in Philippine society there are circumcision missions, charity services, sponsors like the Rotary Clubs promoting circumcision for all boys during summer break.
I remember my son’s teacher who used to be a nurse and says one of her old tasks were to insert catheters in “peters” and she just had a hard time with fore skinned foreigners as she tries to find the pee hole.
So foreigners, think hygiene, Filipino women are very particular about hygiene. They take 2 showers a day. And when Filipinos have sex they shower before sex and after sex. Think about that.
