I have listened to his point of view its something we have discusses since having our first child together (3 years of point vs point) Im not saying our son wont be circumsised, he will be IF he chooses to be, i think its like ear peircing I wont do my girls ears until they tell me they want it done. How do i know as a newborn my son wants this done? I just think as a human being they have the right to choose there aare actually a lot of men out there who hate the fact it was done to them i dont want my son (if i have one or 2!) to feel that way iykwim
I was lucky that DH is uncircumcised and never wanted our boys to be, so there was no argument.
Maybe the 2 of you could both agree to put your opinions aside and research together on both sides of the debate. You might find that once your DH sees how it is done and why so few boys are done now, he will agree with you.
It might also be worth pointing out that while he is OK with being circumcised, not everyone is. I know my father resents his parents for having removed a perfectly healthy part of his body without his permission. On one of the Jon Saffran shows he was talking to Jewish men who wanted their foreskins back and were going through a tortuous process to stretch what remained after circumcision out to create a new foreskin. Surely if some men feel strongly enough to do that then the decision should be left till later when the owner of the penis can decide for himself?
