I want it done but my hubby is against it so it wont be done. I just find circumcised penis to be cleaner and easier to wash. Plus i saw wat my brother went through, he had too much foreskin and he suffered wit pain and eventually had to get it done yrs later wen he was a teen. But i agree, its a personal choice, mostly optional cosmetic. In in Toronto and u have to pay $250.bcuz its elective

None of my boys are circumcised, I just felt it was unnecessary. I have 4 boys and 1 girl. I am expecting another boy, he also will not be circumcised. I definitely did not want some of my boys or just one of them to be circumcised and not the others. So after making the decision not to have circumcised my first boy, me and my husband decided not to to have circumcised any of our boys. It's a personal decision! I honestly just did not want my newborns to go under any unnecessary pain, regardless if they were small.

We didn't circumsize our so either. I look at it as, if it weren't meant to be there it wouldn't be. It's a very personal choice, so do your research. Arm yourself with knowledge and make the right choice for your family and your little boy.

My first son isn't and this one won't be. And none of my ex's were and didn't have issue. I think its cosmetic so I think I shouldn't be able to make that choice for him.

My husband is from Germany but we live in the USA, and we are having a boy.  It is a confusing decision to make.  We decided to circumcise based on the fact that he will be growing up in America and it's pretty normal here to have it done.
