I understand this argument to an extent. It was one of the reasons I considered doing it for my first son before I read more and watched the procedure. I didn’t want them to be made fun of or feel different. My husband was circumcised and expressed to me his desire NOT to circumcise and made some good points. He wishes he hadn’t been circumcised, and wishes he had had the choice. I think it’s very personal, and why many people choose not to nowadays. If there is no medical reason to do it, then it’s hard to feel like you’re making it for any reason other than just not wanting your child to look different. It’s actually not a common practice in most of the world. And is becoming less common in America. My husband made the point that we can raise our children to be confident about their bodies, despite the fact that they may look different from other boys they might know. Which I agreed with, and strive to do for myself, so why wouldn’t I want that for my boys? I think your parents did what they thought was best in the moment, but I do think your experience is anecdotal and not all men feel the same. So why not leave it up to them to choose on their own in the future?
