If you were well-informed, you would've circumcised your son. Being circumcised is an advantage. It's already been medically proven. The only thing you could argue is appearance. You've already given your son a disadvantage in the world.

You couldn't be more wrong. There is no conclusive evidence that, when properly cared for, a natural penis is any more at risk for disease and infection than a circumcised penis.

And the most recent studies show, in regards to penile cancer, that natural penises have like a 1 in 100,000 chance, is likely due to the fact that there is physically more skin there, and that explains the ever-so-slightly higher number of cases. Not due to hygiene.

Here is a medical doctor going over the history of circumcision and the myths associated with it.

Also, I think that anyone who has their child circumcised should have to watch the procedure.
I was not willing to subject my son to that pain, especially considering how unnecessary it is.
It is his body, not mine. If he wants it done later in life, I'll pay for the procedure.

He will have all of his nerve endings and the heightened sense of pleasure that comes with it.
He will be taught how to properly care for it.

I did the right thing with my son, and I don't doubt it for a second.
