I disagree that "boys tend to put personal hygine on the backburner"

If that was the case and there were sooooooo many infections and problems with boys who were not circumcised, then tell me why this procedure is not done routinely.

As for my situation, my DH understands that there is no medical reason for it and also that in Australia, only approximately 5% of boys are done now...but I think it is a combination of fear and ego that is making him still want it done if we have a son.
