If I was to ever have a son, he will be circumsized. For if nothing else cleanliness reasons. I have friends who did and who decided to not circumsized their sons. Some people say they will not do it due to it being painful for the baby, but my nephew didn't even cry when he got his done. Not to mention in my personal opinion, I would rather be with someone who is circumsized rather than someone who isn't. It's more common now days to see kids be uncircumsized, however you have to take in consideration that later in life they may be teased about it. I think it's all a personal opinion, if your not doing it to follow a religion. I would research it and make the decision on your own. No one should pressure you into doing something that has to do with your child.

Me personally I am going to have my son circumsized and that's just because of my own personal beliefs and research on the topic. Ppl say they do it because of the girls and what other ppl will say but I dnt pay that any mind it's just their opinions. I like the point about if it was a girl even tho in some countries it's normal. My roommate she was circumsized because they believe only the husband should give them sensation.

I agree with the last girl. We chose to circumsize our first because of peer pressure. Worst mistake we ever made. The chances of infection are so small. I feel a lot of mothers use that as a justification. only 40% of boys are circumsized in the northern united states last year. my son screamed everytime he peed for two weeks. We regreted it the second it happened. Circumsision is not a bad thing... It just isnt necessary. Look up all the facts from both sides before you make your decision. My son came out perfect... personally i feel like a bad mom for not giving him a choice.. It is his penis after all. again, i dont ever judge a mother who has, i just personally and deeply regret my choice.
