[quote=Anonymous]My friend has four brothers.  The older two are circumcised, the younger two (when her parents became more educated on the matter) are not.  The youngest (now in their 20s) are very grateful to their parents for leaving them intact and it was never an issue for them growing up.

Please don't do his because you think it is the social norm.  It's pretty major damage to the penis without any real health benefits or any reason to do this.  It's also not really your decision to make.  Leave it up to your son.  My husband (before I was even pregnant) was in favor of circumcision.  I made it very clear that I would press charges against anyone who surgically removed part of any son of mine's penis and he realized how strongly I felt.  Then he learned a little more about the process and the lack of medical support for the procedure and now he doesn't even remember that he had previously been in favor of it. (I've overheard him playing with my youngest during diaper changes, laughing with him and praising him for "being lucky" that he has "his whole penis".)[/quote]
