H and I are discussing "to snip or not to snip" baby Joseph who is now due in just about 11 short weeks (give or take). DS15 was snipped but the official position of the medical community is that it is clearly an elective procedure. There are mild risks with circumcision (infection and such) and there are mild associations with STD's, adhesions, cancer and UTI's with uncirc'ed fellas. However, all of these "risks" are low in both categories and basically cancel one another out. I am very 50/50 on this. I think ex-H and I chose to circ DS15 so that he and dear old Dad would match. I have never been with an uncircumcized man so I've never dealt with it up close and personal. Cosmetically I prefer the look of the circumcized male member but then again that is what I am basically "used to". My thought at this point is to let H have the final say so.
Anyone have any thoughts, opinions, horror stories to share on this clearly "off topic" issue?
