I hope I never have a son. My wife and I have two daughters .. she wants a son .. I'm happy with 2 children.

We're at opposite ends of the debate and I'm not sure if I'd win. I'm strongly against circumcision but she is convinced that it's some kind of atrocity if the baby is not circumcised (and no she's not jewish - not religious at all in fact). The only reasons she can give me for justifying it are BS reasons like it's easier to clean (!!!) and it reduces the chance of a type of penile cancer.

Sex TV did an episode on circumcision where they clarified that penile cancer myth. While it is true that this type of cancer is virtually unheard of in circumcised men .. it is *extremely* rare to begin with. We don't remove tonsols at birth to prevent tonsolitis.. and tonsolitis is much more common.
