Do you think it will affect him when he is older?

It varies in men, but my husband was circumcised when he was 32 and it was a very painful experience. It was necessary as the excess skin was not only irritating after intercourse but it was always irritating me and making it very uncomfortable for both of us and it actually started affecting our sexual relationship... If you do not have a religious belief, I would advise you to have him circumcised now that he is still young as if he needs it at a later age, he will be in much more pain.... But like I said, everyone differs, but the fact of the matter is, that he has excess skin and excess skin regardless will in someway or another, be in the way...

My fiance is circumsised, his boys are circumsised, and if we have a son he will be circumsised.
After I heard about his best friend's (who is circumsised) dad having to be circumsised as an old man (much more painful) because the skin had become dry and painfull and also his dad's friend also had to be circumsised a year later for the same reason!
Later in life the skin can become dried out and can make ANYTHING painful, I would RATHER circumsise my son as a baby so he doesn't remember it then run the chance on him having to do it when he is an old man just so he can pee painfree!
I like my fiance circumsised, I have never seen a penis that wasn't circumsised. I think they are cute with out the extra skin!

My son is not circumsised either, and neither are the sons of many of my friends. It is becoming a much more common thing than in the past. I would not worry about women finding it gross at all.

It's okay, but women are most likely going to find this weird or gross. Will it affect him when he's older? Definitely. He'll be made fun of in locker rooms and every time he gets a new girlfriend.

Honestly, I totally think it matters -- I know I would have never been intimate with a guy who is not cut... But, it is becoming more common to not do it, so maybe by the time our kids' generation become sexually active, uncut men will be the norm.
It looks better, and it is so much more clean and sanitary to have it done, but as a matter of personal choice, that was your decision.. I am the mom of girls, so I've not had to make the choice, but if I had a boy, I think I would cut him. My sister in law didn't do either of her boys, and they are fine..
I don't think it really will affect him terribly -- there are women out there who don't mind it -- and if they're the right one for your son, they will love him for who he is.. despite his foreskin

As a woman, and a parent, I think it is perfectly okay to not be circumcised. I live in New Zealand where few kids are circumcised, and it is perfectly normal. If he chooses to have it done later in life he is able - but there is no need to make the choice now. As long as you feel comfortable with it - leave him as he was born. There are very few women in later years that would have a problem with it.

lots and lots of men go uncircumcised, i think it is becoming more and more common in this country. supposedly you are at a higher risk for certain STDs if you are uncircumcised, but if you teach him to be safe he shouldn't have a problem. just make sure he knows how to keep himself clean and everything. and did you know that the only reason they started circumcising boys for nonreligious reasons was because they thought it would cut back on masturbation? some reason corn flakes were invented. and as a woman i don't think it's gross, i mean, it's natural. i wouldn't mutilate my own genitals just because i thought boys would like it, why should i expect it of my partner?

My two sons are not circumcised I chose not to do it because their dad is not either (sounds dumb I know) but I always though what if some day they were to walk in while their dad was in the rest room and saw that he was different then them. The doctor said as long and the keep it clean they will be fine

I don't think it will be a problem, my two little ones aren't circumsised being as their dad is European he wouldn't hear of it. As long as they are taught cleanliness I don't see what the big deal is.

yes he should be circumsied since he got born. my baby was 6 month old cause he was born so small when we circumsed him. it is healthier for him specially when he grows up. he need to pull back the skin and clean the area everyday so he doesnt get infected and doesnt get germs. so go ahead and circumsise him if u r really looking for his sake.
