Hmm... , popular with the girls, that's important, yes. He is the one most concerned though, because he has to use it everyday, lol. I am pretty sure the girls will like it either way.
I understand what you are saying though. Circumcision is unusual, but it has a certain distinction. In being uncommon in your part of the world, it is sort of exotic, which can be good. You are worried though,that if he is minimally circumcised, he will not fit into either category, circumcised, or uncircumcised, and that it will be wierd, that there will be no-one like him.
The fact is though, there are all kinds of circumcisions. For example, some guys have the little ridge of skin in the back - the Frenelum, others don't.
Some have a lot of skin, some have almost none. It depends on how much skin there was to begin with _as well as_ how much is removed.
I am "minimally circumcised" also. I was circumcised by the midwives, and i guess I got an irregular job. My mom told me that something was wrong. There was a lot of blood, and it was causing me a lot of pain, so they stopped. I ended up with alot of skin. On the left side, it seems like almost none was taken off. It looked wierd when I was a kid I remember - half was covered - but as I grew up, it evened out. (It looks pretty nice now
I have a friend, who is circumcised also. He has a lot of skin too, even more than I do, and it almost looks like he is uncircumcised. I'm not sure if he was minimally circumcised too, or if he would have just had lots of skin if he was left uncircumcised as a baby.
My advice is: with your sons circumcision, to go for the least invasive route possible. That is, to chose minimal circumcision. It isn't the worst of two worlds as I think you fear. I see it as the best of two worlds myself! It is easy to keep clean, not overly sensative ( for us circumcised guys, our glans are definitely still sensative!, just not so much as to be uncomforable/painful when stimulated directly), and a nice look. On the other hand, there is enough skin to play with, lol, and to facilitae sex.
If there are problems later (unlikely), more can always be removed. It's much more complicated to "get any back"
It seems like your instinct is to chose minimal circumcision, and that you only want some input from others before you go with that same instinct.
There are benifits to circumcision, and uncircumcision (and all the different varietions within those categories, and everything in between circumcised, minimally circumcised and uncircumcised) in sex with girls (and guys for that matter). The important thing to remember is that _every_ penis is individual, and a little bit different. A man and his partner can have a succesful, and mutually fulfilling sex life with any type of penis.
To your little boy: Gute Beserung!
