This is usually a heated subject and not necessarily what the thread was aimed at...but I just wanted to say one thing.
I do think it is absurd to automatically perform a circumcision in this day and age. There are a few medical reasons one might need one, but to give it to every baby boy is ludicrous.
And frankly...if you are thinking about doing this to your son, bear in mind that he might not feel the same way you do. That penis is his penis...not yours. You are deciding to rip a part of it off....kind of a huge decision, and probably one that is better left up to him. Sure it is probably more painful, or at least you remember the pain if you do it as an adult, but then you are damn sure to be doing it for the right reasons, like the person actually deciding that they want it for themselves.
As for the "women like it better cut" argument...ugh. A lot of guys really like massive breasts, yet I don't see parent decided compulsory breast implants at a certain age...because that would be barbaric. Same reasoning.
