You do realise you've opened a pandora's box by asking for opinions on a VERY volatile subject? Only you and your DH can make this decision.
for what it's worth though, My two boys are NOT done. When I was pg with our first (a son) I did a lot of research and got info sent to me from the Family Planning Clinic (this was in the days before everyone had a computer let alone the internet) and basically we couldn't come up with a good enough reason to do it. Cosmetic reasons weren't enough (even though DH was done) and there were no religious reasons. The chances of him having phimosis (where the foreskin is too tight) were very small, as are the chances of him ever getting an infection. The better sex reason is just a myth and can't be proven because unless you've had it taken off as an adult how will they ever know it's better with or without? Men only *know* sex because of the way their penis's are as adults.
So in the end we just couldn't come up with a good enough reason because to me, 'just so he looks like his dad' isn't a valid reason for cutting off a piece of skin that they are born with. My Dh however since regrets us not getting it done but when I probe him about it, he still can't give me a good enough reason. And my eldest son has never had a major issue with his foreskin. It retracts like it should and he washes it every night in the bath. It really is low maintenance because you wash your genitals anyway regardless of if you are cut or not and it takes him less than 2 seconds to whip it back, give it a wash and let it go again.
It will take you a lot of soul searching, but the decision works both ways - your DH has to respect your thoughts on the matter too.
