In some countries (esp. in the [[USA]]) and cultures (mainly among Jews and Muslims), expectant parents are sometimes urged by their own parents or relatives to have their son [[circumcised]]. Even doctors and , religious leaders , and communities encourage or press them to agree to the non-therapeutic [[circumcision]] of the son.

Many (expectant) fathers in these countries and cultures are genitally mutilated themselves and may not have reflected what has been done to them.

In general, it can be assumed that most men in the US who see themselves as [[intactivist]]s were themselves [[circumcised ]] and not only regret this, but no longer harm their sons.

Various regret dads in relevant Facebook groups have been invited to reveal themselves here and to talk about the circumstances of both the [[circumcision ]] and realization that this was a mistake. Some of them will even tell about the hospitals, doctors, ''[[mohel]]s'', relatives and others who urged them to have their boy [[circumcised]].
