I did not get my first son circumcized at birth. I did my research and discovered that there really wasn't much point in it as long as I actually washed my child regularly. My son, clearly the exception to the rule, developed a problem, his foreskin adhered to his penis. Everytime I went to wash it it would stick. He screamed and cried, I felt like a horrible person. He was hurting very badly every day because I tried to keep him from hurting needlessly at birth. At 3 years old he had to have a circumcision. this was VERY bad, because he remembers it. He tells me every time we pass the hospital, "thats where they cut your nakey off."
side note, he invented the word nakey, not me, I tend to believe in using the proper name for body parts, lessen the stigma attached to sex somewhat, but he cannot understand penis, and does understand nakey, I still call it a penis,but thems the breaks.
back on topic. My second son was circumcized at birth. I NEVER want to try to deal with what I and my son went through before he had him "fixed"
Remember: my son's condition is VERY rare. I really believe for the majority of men, its better not to be cut. I've never been with an uncut man before, so I know nothing of the pleasure factor involved, but I do know that by and large medical research has shown no significant health benifit and theres no reason to hurt babies for very little medical benifit.
