You state exactly what my son said. I asked him if he thought we should have waited and let the choice be his. He said when a man at the doctors office was told to undress for an examination, the doctor was likely to come back and find that he'd only removed his tie! That the chances of a mature man electing to have a knife near his family jewels was highly unlikely.
If he had a son one day, he planned to circumsize him - without a doubt.
To each his own hey.
