We have had discussions about circumcision here before, last year I believe. The American Academy of Pediatrics has come out against it, unless there are religious reasons to do the procedure. Is is true that anaesthesia is used now, at least? When I was a child it was not, and I can still hear my little brother screaming from a whole block away.

While I can understand what your doctor said about all the males in a family being the same way, obviously since far fewer circumcisions are being done in America, that is not a consistent rule, and it would seem very simple to explain to a child that he is not circumcized because doctors have decided it isn't necessary anymore, even though Daddy is. I think I might be more concerned about children being ostracized in locker rooms at school if they are "different". I sure hope that in sex education classes, teachers are reiterating that one kind of member is not better, or more "normal" than the other.
