I had a talk with my parents when I was 11 or 12 about getting circumcised.
It's hard when you're a kid changing in the locker room for the first time and you hear kids making circumcision jokes about you...it really sucks.
But in the end, I decided not to have it done...and I'm glad my parents left the choice up to me. If anything, it's made me more comfortable with myself. I'm almost 21 now, in college, and most girls are PROBABLY not expecting to see Mr. Winky wearing a hoodie, but you know what, I don't give a fuck and I have an awesome sex life anyways.
If anything, having to deal with the ridicule and untrue but widely believed social stigmas about being uncircumcised, in the end it's made me more confident and mature.
I definitely would not circumcise my own son, if for no other reason than it's a life lesson in being comfortable in your own skin.
