Most Americans have a dislike of the foreskin because of the culture. Most of the world, fortunately, does not think this way.
I have three little boys, all are circumsized....I would never cause intentional harm, or mutilate my babies...i just know what all the girls say about the uncircumsized guys.... calling them rumpleforeskin, dick cheese, etc...sorry to all the guys rocking the turtle neck

youre right, it is a culture thing, why would I want to subject my boys to being teased because they dont look like all the other little boys....penises for boys can be as much a source of pain, as weight is for girls. one of the most important things you can do for your child is to give them a sense of acceptance and normalcy...as for trauma....well, I would say the pain of being born would be more traumatic then the circumcision...that is, if you actually believe it causes trauma...
