To snip or not to snip? That was the question we couldn't get past.
I understand a man wanting his son to be like him, especially in this particularly masculine way. The thing is, when my husband was circumcised it was because of an actual, honest-to-goodness medical necessity. The foreskin was too small. It was painful. The surgery had to be done. If it were medically necessary, I would do the same thing. But otherwise, why put my son through elective surgery?
A recent study in Uganda proves that ladies like their men minus the foreskin.
After a recent study in Uganda, 455 women were polled and 40% reported that sex was more satisfying after their husbands/boyfriends were circumcised. Circumcision also is thought to cut down on the transmission of HIV.
A new trend of non-circumcision is joined by reverse circumcision.
There are some dudes out there who are not happy to be circumcised. In fact, two new trends have arisen; not getting kids circumcised and devices for reverse circumcision. Evidently, there are devices which attempt to reconstitute the foreskin by some means of tugging. We're not sure that we can endorse this phenomenon at this (or any) time but to each his own.
A study by Johns Hopkins University on 5,000 Ugandan men has revealed that there is no appreciable drop-off in sexual satisfaction for circumcised versus uncircumcised men. The hope is compile enough similar evidence that men will start getting this procedure done to help protect against the AIDS virus.

Controversial new research casts doubt on the long-held belief that circumcision reduces sexual sensitivity for men who have undergone the procedure.
Circumcision, a procedure performed throughout history — for reasons ranging from the fulfillment of a biblical covenant to a means of curbing masturbation — has received both praise by those who tout its supposed medical benefits and scorn from those who claim it has traumatic aftereffects.
Now, in a Canadian study appearing in the most recent issue of the Journal of Sexual Medicine, researchers found that the glans, or head of the penis, is just as sensitive on a circumcised man as on an uncircumcised one.
