I don't have nearly as much experience as Boris, but I haven't seen it either.
No, but I've read studies on this back when a friend of mine got pregnant. I was being the disturbingly nice guy I always am.
But then you need to spend more money doing the laundry!
I don't understand what that meant, and I'm usually so good at catching meanings like that.

"In Apoc, I had one soldier who lasted through the entire game... was pretty cool. I like apoc for that reason, the soldiers are a bit more 'personal'." - General Ludd

Boris: I don't particularly care about the issue to the extent that some of the people in this thread seem to. I can only speak from my personal experience that being cut has handicapped my life in any noticable way.
Just because it hasn't hurt you, AFAYK, doesn't mean that's a good reason to do it. And since you haven't had the luxury of having a foreskin, you don't know what you're missing, I guess.
I certainly sometimes get jealous of those unshorn bastards...
If you want your kid to have any possibility of being a porn star you better snip him. It's kind of an unspoken code.
In all seriousness though, I'm snipped and I have no idea what it's like not to be. I suppose leaving it up to him would be a good choice, and it may appease the in-laws for the time being.
What if you child decides to become a devout Muslim, despite how you raise him?

You can go back, it's just a more expensive and difficult process and leaves horrible scarring.

And, if it does, he can always choose to be circumcized then.
Yes, I'm sure if he turns out to be the kind of person who, despite my perfect and logical upbringing, still chooses to be religious, he'd also be the kind of person who would want to undergo pain for his religion.

I don't think it's that big of a deal either way. I'm circumcized, but my dad wasn't. Doesn't seem to have affected us one way or another wrt sexuality.
I do think that there are some health benefits to circumcision, but as Dino's article points out, the costs come out at about a wash. The penile cancer and STD issues do show a net benefit for circumcision, however.
Overall, I don't think this is something to worry about on principle. If your hubbie would feel more comfortable if his boys are cut, I don't think it's worth getting him worked up over, even for 5 minutes. I mean, do you bring around pork a lot?
I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891
