[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband is Jewish, I am not.  [b]To dumb down our decision, the main reason we are circumcised our son (hospital circumcision, not bris) is because his dad is circumcised.  So our son's penis will always look like his dad's[/b].

Re: the "religious crap" part, we have found a very welcoming Reform temple that we attend from time to time.  I have not been made to feel anything other than welcome--there are many interfaith families there in addition to us.  Reform Judaism considers a child to be Jewish if either of their parents are Jewish AND they are raised Jewish.  Not just because their mom is Jewish.[/quote]

I have never understood this rationale.

I mentioned it to my (Jewish) DH, who said "I don't even want to think about my dad's penis, much less compare mine to his."  [/quote]

Our pediatrician made the convincing case that this is not a good reason. Little boys' penises look nothing like grown mens'. No hair, etc. will your husband wax his pubes so his his penis looks like a child's? [/quote]

I hope that your husband does not do this. However, as a woman, I can say that I prefer a circumcised penis, because it is what I am used to and what I know. Just like most men prefer women with shaved armpits. I encountered one uncut penis in my single days and actually ended the relationship, I simply wasn't into it. I'm putting my sons in the majority because like it or not, cultural norms matter.

Circumcised boys may not be your cultural norm, but they are ours. [/quote]
