I am trying to decide whether or not to circumcise my in-utero son.
I have considered all of the religious and hygienic concerns and what I am left with, is female preference. So if it is not to personal I am wondering what your preference is? If you have experience with both, that would be helpful but opinions from those whom have only experienced one side of the coin are welcome as well.
Sincereley,
Factor Two/Concerned Father to be.

As a father (Yeah;...we got voices too...)...I say;...wack the winkie when he's wee.....he won't feel a thing, and when he's in high school and college, some girls are scared of pointy weenies;.....that could be a bummer , please.
Dock the dick.......
I'm a big boy now, and I'm OK .....sure I lost a bit in length and sensitivity......but it's streamline and I can run and swim and bike faster with the new bullethead......

Todd, my oldest son is 50. One day you will turn and look back down the years and know your life held no better times than you are living now with those darling little boys.

Well, I'm not a woman so I'm not sure if my
opinion or feelings about this count but..
Everyone who has it done wonders what it would be like
without; ya wonder, you were born with it, ya just do.
So, after all - I'm 50, still works, so I would
say it is OK, but there is reason to be cautious...
it is something,
it may be bigger than U realize, this
modification of the male sex organ for
ostensibly hygienic reasons when clearly
humanity has propagated plenty well
w/out specific body-mods.
But, honest, it is probably OK.

77.46% of high school girls are afraid of the Anteater. Or maybe it was just the teen cologne?

It's hard enough to get a date in H. S. as it is;....don't want to mess with those odds and make it tougher still......(Although I spent much of my youth around a campfire with old dudes like Bridwell and the like.......with booze, reefer, and cigarettes....when I should have been going to sock hops, drive in movies, and weekend grope sessions in the back of my 57 chevy......(OK...it was a 61 Rambler station wagon that my parents let me drive......). I want my boys to date chicks in H. S......not watch Tucker Tech and Bill Russel nurse 3 sixers of Old English at the Deli.

doesn't taking a new born child away from his mother and mutilating his genitalia seem wrong? I am sure they feel it, there is no benefit like hygiene, all it takes to keep the au naturale clean is BATHING. Seriously, if girls are scared about it, that is just a cultural thing born in from years of circumcision. And they'll get over it, I doubt anybody would get turned down because of it. I hope. It is archaic, I think. It is up there with FGM, which is not good. I have heard the excuse, "a boy should look like his father." Weird. And it only takes one generation to change that.
EDIT: sorry I am just another dude responding. and that picture is horrifying. would you want your child to go through that? honestly? cause of some social stigma?

Picture is horrifying?...c'mon;...sac up , bro;...that aint' even blood from his turkey monster;....that was 3 min. after he was born.........it's just goo from being born;.......and it's son Beck;......nothing to be afraid of;....he's a good boy,...even if he has a "mutilated" weenie........Do you have kids and did you watch them come into this world?.........yeah;..it's a bit messy;.....but it's one of the coolest things I've ever experiences.......it aint' horrifying;....it's cool.....it's just goo ......
Here I am again.....Boo;..I scared you!
I'm much older now;...handsome;..yes;...mutilated........well;.... ...

RE:
" doesn't taking a new born child away from his mother and mutilating his genitalia seem wrong?"
well, someone had to say it and lest I am misunderstood
it is very valuable IMO, to NOT just accept something
of uh, this "kind" of significance w/out questioning it...
I champion those who question it but,
gotta be straight w/ ya - I'm glad
to be a modified unit,
we - humans - manipulate our habitat, our environment
and ourselves, we do it and it seems kinda like this our
evolution as a species...
body mods...of which shaving is a pretty accepted one, too.
(I know, shaving long way from cutting, I know, just an
example).

You go for a little bike ride on the beach, then get new brakes put on your car, and look what takes place on ST in your absense: Turtleneck or Helmet questions!
Listen Factor2, I dated a guy for over two years that hadn't been weenie-wacked...there was no social stigma associated with that. He'd never had a problem being in a relationship before me, either. Differences like foreskin just don't make or break a budding romance.
I've never heard the statistics that LEB was quoting about increasing the risk of cervical cancer, but if that is what the medical community is actually finding (and Lois is pretty up on this stuff), you should probably get the little guy clipped.
Do your own research in that area if you need to, but we women have it hard enough where birth control and STDs are concerned. If his au natural state might contribute to cancer (especially if his future partner thinks this), that would be a horrible burden to add to the difficulty of your son maintaining any sort of fulfilling relationship.
