I think it looks better if it is but, I've come across a few mens rights websites where some men are very upset about being circumsised (sites such as www.noharm.org). I think that boys should be able to chose for themselves when they reach 13 or so.

I'm sorry I posted the wrong website, this is the correct one; www.noharmm.org

I don't think that's a question that just one person can answer for everyone else. It's completely up to the parents, whether or not their son will be circumsized or not. Personally, if my fiance and I have a son, we're going to get him circumsized.

I think it is up to the parents and what they believe in. Some parents think it is "normal" for their sons to be circumsised. Others think it is cruel to put a baby through that. I know in the United States it is more common to have the surgery for your son. I'm not sure what my husband and I would do. We'll discuss it and think about it if we discover we are having a boy and decide on what is right for us.

Personally I say No unless there is a medical need for it, personally I prefer not to cause pain to my child when its not needed, like I wont let anyone peirce my girls ears. However thats just my opinion going on my beliefs and thoughts, its down to the personal choice of the parent really and I dont think too much about what others do with their children too busy with my own.
