Think about it this way:
1) As a male you're more likely in a better position to understand the ramifications of the mutilation of your son, in terms of penis sensitivity and intimacy in his future
2) Since the minority of children in the US are now being cut as opposed to 30 years ago, if he is cut, he will be made fun of. Kids will say he is less than 100% because he's missing a part of his penis. If it's a matter of what looks better to female counterparts, when he's old enough to have relations, they will think his looks better because the number of uncut males will far outweight the number of cut males.
3) There can be problems with uncut penises but no more than the problems/complications associated with botched circumcisions. Problems of these sorts are rare in either case.
4) Sometimes you can't know what you've lost if you've never had it. If he's cut he will not have the option to get uncut. If he's uncut he can choose to get cut. If he's cut he won't know what he's missing.
5) Dismembering somebody for reasons of 'tradition' or religion isn't a satisfactory reason in our civil society. Many things in the bible are no longer practiced because we know they're morally and legally wrong. We follow the rule of law not the rules of the bible.
