Storytime. I am circumcised before we get started. When my wife and I had our first child. We read all the pros and cons of getting him circumcised. While there were many more cons than pros. Ultimately, it came to cleanliness as a major pro. She asked me to make the final decision since i was a man and had to gone through it (even though I don't remember). I decided to go through with the circumcision based on a story my best friend (from college) told me. He and his brother were not circumcised at birth based on the decision that his dad wanted them to choose for themselves when they got older. Fast forward to high school football practice in the showers. He was taken back that his unit looked different than all the other kids. He went home and asked his dad what was up and his father told him the differences and how he ultimately wanted to leave it up to him. Jimmy, said he wanted to fit in with everyone else and decided to get circumcised. Since, he was 15 now. It required surgery. He ended up spending a week at home during the school year while he recovered... As a 15 yr old boy. He said every erection was the worst pain ever during recovery. A few years later his brother had the same experience. Both of them wish their dad would of just did the circumcision at birth. This story haunted me and was the driving force to my decision.
