Default Circumcise my baby boy?

Well, I don't know whether I'm having a boy or not, but since our baby's due January 1, we have to have a plan.

My wife and I are both ambivalent about it. We're both atheists so we have no traditions to consider. I'm snipped and I'll all good with that. Cleanliness, sensation, chicks being repulsed - all have never been an issue. My wife is leaning towards leaving him uncircumcised just because she doesn't see a reason to hack at his little member. She's never been with an 'intact' man though.

So we don't know and we have to do some research, I suppose. Where does the intrepid researcher begin? OOT, of course.

Circumcise him. Chicks are afraid of uncircumcised ones.

Circumcision is stupid.

Have you made your wife aware that the results of 00T polls are binding?

I think you should have him circumcised. I have heard that boys can be very mean in school to other boys who are uncircumcised.
As a female point of view, I could care less if it is or not but I know that I am a exception, most women do not like it. I was raised in Europe where the vast majority of men are not circumcised.

It depends a decent amount on where you live. I voted yes.

i think it's healthier to have him circumcised, i have heard there are cleaning issues when you don't.

i don't know the difference medically or sensation wise (since you can only be either/or) but i will tell you this i have some funny ass shower stories from teammates that were uncircumsized, and needless to say they hated their sports experience.

There are no realistic health issues involved. The majority of people have been uncircumcised since people were invented, and the entire animal kingdom gets by fine without circumcision.

Be aware -- asking this question is like asking guys if they like their penis. It's a subject more fit for instinctive and deeply felt reactions than discussion. You're not going to get a lot of circumcised people saying it's unnecessary or somehow not the best idea. The impact of religion and culture on the issue is pretty overwhelmingly determinative, too. Match up cultural and religious norms with deeply personal self-consciousness on a primal level, and you're just not going to get a lot of people saying let's call the whole thing off.
