And reasons :-)

I had my son at the end of May and we decided not to circumcise him for several reasons.
1) His father is not circumcised and has never had a single infection or problem with his foreskin, nor have his uncles or grandfathers
2) I have several male figures in the family who can show him how to properly clean underneath the foreskin when he's older
3) Studies now show that circumcision does not prevent STD's or AIDS/HIV
4) There are several thousand nerve endings on the foreskin --don't tell me it doesn't hurt when you cut it off!
5) By medical standards, a circumcision isn't necessary health wise under normal conditions

I didn't want to and my husband and I had long heated discussions over it. I finally agreed, reluctantly and honestly I regret it because although you can tell he was circumsiced, he still had some extra skin that I still have to make sure is clean! I was so pissed! If i ever have another boy I am sticking to my guns.

i did no longer circumcise my son via fact I felt it became into no longer mandatory. That being reported i think it relatively is the selection of the dad and mom and not for me to decide. I even have a number of buddies who've executed it for their sons and that all of them regarded advantageous after it. I basically desperate to no longer and if my son extremely needs it executed later in life, i can assist you him. My OB asked me approximately this selection close to the tip of my being pregnant and gave me some good advice in help of the two aspects. refer to you OB for some preparation. :)

I will definitely circumcise. It is a personal choice. For me it makes cleanliness ever so much easier; it prevents infection and some other problems with the foreskin; it is the social and cultural norm where I live and among the families with whom I associate.

When I was 20, if I had a boy then he would have been circumcised. I had a boy at 29 and couldn't do it to this helpless little baby, thought it was too much for a baby to go through, he was trusting me to keep him safe. Didn't do it and he is now 10m, wouldn't do it if I had another boy. Basically it is all to do with maternal instinct for me.

Nope. I don't see a reason to remove it. If later on it had to because of a medical reason I would feel sadness that my son had to have an operation (just as I would if he had his appendix or tonsils out) but not because I hadn't snipped his foreskin when he was a newborn.

Nope. Cruel and unnecessary.
On the other hand, my American husband thinks every baby boy should be circumcised, so if I ever have a boy I see big fights coming our way lol, although I told him I would keep an open mind about it. Not that open minded, but no need to start fighting now;).

no unless for some reason down the line there are reasons that it needs to be done but i see it as pointless plus the doctors wont do it these days unless you have a good reason not things like to keep it clean

I had both of my son's done. I wanted them to fit in. It was never an issue for us whether or not to circumcise them. Honestly, seeing a grown man with an uncircumcised penis is disgusting to me. That's just how I feel. Everyone has their own opinion.
