I don't know the sex of my child yet. Having to think about whether or not to circumcise has been well, a little more difficult than I imagined it would be.

I'm cut, I think everyone in my family is except little Kenai, my little nephew. Originally I favored to have the procedure done for no better reason than to have my kids' willy look like mine. Not a good reason admittedly but there you have it.

Arguments against it are as follows: It hurts the baby. (physical pain does don't you know.)
Health and hygiene concerns were commonly cited in years past as an excuse to simply perform it on nearly every male infant. But that perspective was a holdover from years when we didn't bathe as frequently as we do now. So it seems that these days, that's a moot point. And although we live in a fast-paced world, you gotta be busier than a one-legged man at an ass kicking contest to pass on cleaning the "turtle". Cool argument when you consider it's my first child. I imagine years down the road....a circumcised 35 year-old college dropout playing video games in my basement that smells like a cross between urine and beer....thinking "If I'd left that flap on maybe he wouldn't be the lazy lump he is today...after all, cleaning the turtle is the hardest thing anyone has to do these days....everything else is automated!!"......A good strong work ethic in males starts with penis hygiene. I think a gym coach told me that once.

Insurance won't cover it. In part to save $$$ I would suppose, but also they seem to side with the modern medical community that it simply isn't necessary. So if you want the procedure, you have to pay. Furthermore, if you don't want baby to grow up and kill you in your sleep, you need to fork out some extra corn for a numbing shot to minimize the trauma.

I'm on the fence. If we do have a boy, I'll let the wife decide. Then I can blame her if he turns out evil. But this might all be an exercise in futility anyway. We'll likely have a girl.
