It's really very simple: it's HIS penis, so HE should be the one to decide. If you leave him natural and he decides as an adult that he wants to get cut, that's not a big deal. But if you cut him and he wants his foreskin back, he's out of luck. There is no reason for you to make an irreversible decision about HIS foreskin for him.

It depends on a man's hygiene and how sexually active he is. If he's active and shower's/bathes every day then no it's a moot point. But if he is less hygienic then he should be the circumcised type. I was active and showered daily, so i was good. Still , there were women who took me to task, as ses, for not being done. One even sent me to get a doctor's opinion. Thankfully he wasn't circumsized either.
As an adult it's just more of a moot point because I'm not as active, and with the more wide spread use of condoms, yep they's a good idea, it becomes academic. If the situation is right the male can always wash his genitals before sex, or the woman can do it for him.

I wasn't circumcised at birth, and am glad my parents left the choice with me.
I decided to take the plunge and get circumcised in my mid-twenties and haven't had any regrets!
Leave the decision to him.

I'm glad I wasn't circumcised. I never had any problems with infections or keeping things clean. No one has ever made fun of me either. The foreskin is very useful, and is the most sensitive(and therefore my favorite) part of the penis.
Don't cut your baby! Let him decide later in life.

I am glad I wasn't. Its not as hard to keep clean as some people think, just a couple seconds in the shower. I am a teen and never have been teased about it or felt uncomfortable. I like being natural and whole. Its nice to have that "cover" of skin.

I'm very glad I was NOT circumsized at birth. Its an unnecessary, painful, irreversible surgery, and I've never had any infections or problems with my foreskin.
Any more Qs about circumsizion, drop me an email through my profile :-)
Good luck.

I'm not circumcised and very happy that my parents left me that way.

Can't say I had much choice in the matter when it happened and can't say I can imagine what it would be like to not be.

I am glad that I was.
For health and general cleanliness reasons I would say go for it and get it done. There can be a lot of ridicule in the showers in high school. It was originally done for religious purposes, but now cleanliness is the main reason. I would say get it done at birth or shortly thereafter. That way they cant remember the pain.

I am "circumcised" and I wish I wasn't.
