One perspective on circumcision we don't get much is from a large group of MALES themselves. My hubby is the only one whose opinion I have (well, and my opinionated grandpa, lol).

I wonder how this topic would go over on a message board that just daddies were on?

My brother is not circumcized and wishes he was.

My husband is circumcised and desperately wishes he weren't. Circumcision that leads to sexual dysfunction can be devastating. He's had it his whole life, with every partner. I figure it's not worth the chance that our potential son would suffer this way too. If he is born with it, it's meant to be there. Ease of cleaning and appearance just doesn't work for us.

DH is so upset about his lack of foreskin that we have tried ordering synthetics and thought about stretching the skin to try and replace it. I will never do that to our kids.

I'm so happy that you and your DH were able to come to mutual decision! Enjoy your new little boy!
