I chose NOT to have my son cut. I found no compelling medical argument to do it. My parents were NOT happy with my decision and offered to pay for him to be cut after he was born. That was just crazy! The pressed me and pressed me to do the Right thing. Well I did!
I have no idea how my son feels about it. I know that most or all the other guys in school are cut but if he finds he does not like it at least he has a choice. Its his body
When I was doing my research as to why the US started do circumcision on a routine basis, I found out that the main reason was to stop boys from masturbating! OH YEA LIKE THAT WILL WORK!
I hope that fathers out there think long and hard before they cut their sons. Mother nature puts things there for a reason, I dont think man is improving things buy cutting off a healthy part of the human body.
The reason to do the circumcision at birth is that it is much simpler, heals faster and also easier ti ger the right result because the baby grows out of any excess skin wit each growth spurt.
When done as adult, if they don't cut enough skin, you're stuck with it.
At the end of the day, if parents feel circumcision is better, why shouldn't they have the right to imporve their baby boy to fit their opinion of how they want their boy to be ? Parents do a lot of "shaping" of their children at many many levels.

I had both my boys cut. I'm cut. My wife and I discussed it at length, and came to the conclusion that we wanted them to be cut. For both aesthetic and hygienic reasons. Sometimes I wonder if I made the right decision. But knowing my children's personalities now, I think we did the right thing.
I am a bit neutral on a son getting snipped at birth. It would depend on the wife, and more importantly on the environment. Here, in Québec, vast majority is now uncut, so leaving son uncut would not make him "different". But if I were to move to the USA, circumcision would be preferable.
It would also depend on his foreskin length. If he inherited my original extra long foreskin, I would be very tempted he have a partial circ at birth.
If left uncut at birth, I would definitely have a chat with him before puberty to make the circumcision sales pitch though.
Both my older brother and I are cut, one of my close friends, my father and two younger brothers are uncut. I like the fact that I am cut but do like the appearance of uncut people as well.
I understand that people don't think that there is medical or social reasons now its just for looks.. I will say this... out of all the penises i have seen of people around my age A LOT of them are cut, leave it up to an AGREEMENT between parents and if the kid is left uncut then give them the choice when they are older to have it cut or leave it.
As I am cut, although with jerking off, this has now been reversed, I would not let them cut him!How'd you decide
