(3,300 posts)My Father wasn't cut, so he did the same for me ( I thank him forever ). Then my brother was born and the doctors must have gotten in his ear about the latest study or whatnot so my brother got -sized. I think my brother has always been a little pissed that he was treated differently. Well, I grow up, get married, and have a son. I put my foot(long) down and made sure he didn't get mutilated. The joke turned out to be on me, though, when we found out my son got phimosis (a condition in males where the foreskin cannot be fully retracted over the glans penis) so he ended getting cut when he was about 4 years old (ouch!). He took it well, but I was sad that he lost his skin. People should be able to wait until they are at least old enough to make the decision by themselves.
I'm so happy I have my skin (so is the wife)...
