I am circumcised, yet I chose to not circumsize my son (now one year old). To me it was a matter of logic. There is absolutely no reason to whack his lil' pee-pee. It started as a hygenic ritual (back when people didn't bathe) that turned into religious nonsense. It only looks "better" because that's what we're used to. In a culture where no-one is whacked, I bet a clipped dong looks totally gross.
Anyway, these days more and more parents are opting to not circumsize their sons. Good for them.. If you've ever seen the procedure it's absolutely horrible. They have to strap the kids down to a table so they don't squirm, and the screaming is horrible. I don't see how you could do this to a child you loved, especially when there is no good reason to do it in the first place.
