Ah, but don't parents always force things on their children?
I'm not sure if I'll have my son circumcised. My wife thinks he should be; I'm undecided. On the one hand, as I said before, I'm fine with my cock. But the question that picks at my brain is, 'what if I'm missing out on something?' and what if by circumcising my son, it costs HIM something? And of course there's the whole idea that we are talking about removing a bit of flesh for (if you're not jewish) purely aesthetic reasons. And there's the whole emotional, male-gut-response issue: can I really stand by and let someone take a knife to my childs genitals? Or the other side of it: how much do I want my child to be like me?
Its too loaded. It puts my brain into circles.
Then there's Christening. I think my wife and I will christen our children. She's catholic and I'm a deist. I figure there's no harm in a meaningless ceremony and she figures if she's right, the child has won Pascal's wager (or at least has a chance to make the wager).
