WHen my son was born, we had decided to have him circumcized because it was important to my husband to have a son who looked like him. Also, in Montana, more kids are than aren't, so I thought it would be easier for him in the locker room later on. However, once he was born, I REALLY had a hard time looking at this tiny, perfect baby, and telling the doctor to cut part of him off! We went ahead with it, because my husband was adamant, but until my son was about 12 months old, we had problems with the skin trying to re-adhere, and we even had to have the doctor (2 different times!) pull the skin back off where it had tried to re-attach! It hurt my son, and he screamed, and still HATES having his diaper changed because of it. SO, all this said, in retrospect, knowing what a problem it has been, I would NOT have done it. But that is just me. I don't know how common the skin re-attaching problem is. I do think it is easier to keep clean when circumcized, and I have heard that there are less rates of STDs in circumcized men. But I think in many other countries, they don't circumcize their sons, and I don't think it is a problem. Good luck with your decision.
