I'm also toying with this idea as I am expecting a son in April. I'm trimmed and I think I will trim him too. If you do decide to cut it, better to do this when he's a baby than when he gets older - that just sucks (I know from experience).

Why don't you ask people if they are happy with their own parents choice?
My dad personally mentioned thinking it was cruel when I was a child even though they did it, but he felt better now that I'm grown up and I told him I was thankful they made the choice to snip it.

Personally I have no qualms with my parents, they did it because everyone else did it, it's part of the American culture and doctors generally recommended it at that time. It's a bit different now, just depends on where you're located.

I have never met a girl who minded my foreskin. Once erect you can't see it anyway. I vote leave it. There are quite a few nerve ending in it that when stimulated can be pleasurable. It also can act as a form of lubrication when encountering vaginal dryness.

Being born in England I was not circumcised at birth. At 16 I had a freak incident that caused excruciating pain and for me to **** blood for an afternoon. It wasn't associated with my lack of circumcision, I wasn't unclean, nor did the doctor ever find a cause for the bleeding (the best guess was that I passed a kidney stone) but the doctor recommended that I should be circumcised. I was 16 and didn't know anything about what I was about to get myself into. I didn't know the history or facts. Had I done my own research I would not have gone through with the procedure.
TMI?

Would you not go through with it due to the pain, or another reason? Is there less sensation? Supposedly the extra nerves make it more sensitive, but the data/reports I've read don't support either side.
