I thought long and hard when I found out I was having a boy.. His father is circumcised and said hell, yea, he's getting it too. I had been with one uncircumcised man and, while he was probably not the norm, I hated it-he was unclean. But I wasn't sure it was necessary. I decided for it.
Not all doctors or hospitals strap a baby down like a scene out of a Vincent Price movie and hack away. While I did not witness my son's, they did bring him to me right after and he wasn't even crying. There was almost no blood on the bandage either.
As for some of those 'facts' posted, he had NO problem breast feeding, didn't have 'heightened pain response' later on. Every man I've been with besides the one have been circumcised and never complained about lack of sensation, lack of lubrication(isn't that partly my job?) or lack of arousal.
It is one of the most agonizing decisions to make while pregnant. MIght have helped if I could have learned about the care that goes with leaving the foreskin intact, but I didn't have a clue, except Mr. Icky.
