Penis Doctor

Suffice to say I don't have a vagina nor would I think to say that I would know anything really about them. I mean I know about them ( wink wink) but I don't know much about the plumbing. Nor even if I did know a lot about them would I say I know how it feels and or what could be felt pain joy etc and so on. One good point is there on the inside and the penis is on the outside. Wow I'm the smartest guy in the room. I'm pretty sure your not going to zip your vagina into your zipper or have a bee sting it. (I know a guy that this actually happened too) ouch! But I digress


Having a baby boy is wonderful. Not that there would be much difference right now if we had a girl because he eats and sleeps and poos most of the time. The only thing that IS different is his penis. Yes ladies and gentlemen I said it. And if I didn't know any better I would swear I was living with a penis doctor. I'm not sure where she got her credentials but one thing I know for sure and one thing I hear almost daily is. "It's not going to hurt him" or something of that ilk.

As a person with a penis and also a person who has had enough penis mishaps and or first hand knowledge of said device. It is very concerning to me to hear some one tell me what will hurt and what wont hurt it. Granted I don't remember anything of being a baby and or how it felt to be circumcised.... but I was in the room after he got circumcised and although Mason likes to fuss cry I had never seen him cry cry. Seeing a 10 day old child cry actual tears is enough to make any man feel physical pain. Or maybe lower pain who knows? My point is hey that's a penis you just cut open and theres raw exposed flesh... that going to hurt a lot.

Now I'm not saying the penis doctor didn't appreciate the pain he was in but as the days have passed it seems as if she thinks his penis has miraculous powers of healing and you can just flop it around with out any discord. While getting ready to take a bath, Masons first tonight, I was in the tub and I heard the familiar "it wont hurt" bird in the bathroom. My answer was um how do you know? You don't have a penis and your not about to submerge it for the first time in warm water. As a matter of fact I don't think you know what it would feel like for a little boy or middle aged man to submerge a scabbed very sensitive piece of flesh into any type of water. Just thinking about it right now kinda scares me.

I am truly blessed to have such a wonderful mother for our child. But she will never know what it feels like to get kicked in the balls and i will never know what it felt like to give birth. The difference is she gave birth on one day Mason will be walking around with his penis every day. So for all the trials and tribulations he will have growing up and going through his teen age years and dealing with all the fears and labeling and shame that can come with being a penis barer. I find it is my responsibility to look out for him now. To go that extra mile to remind mom that its probably the most sensitive thing on his body right now and assuming that it wont hurt doesn't mean it wont.

This is the team work that a family has to go through to raise a child and I wouldn't change it for the world. And if Tegan hadn't been crying laughing in the bathroom tonight I wouldn't have even thought to write this. Maybe I'm over sensitive to the whole thing but then again what father wouldn't be for his child?
