A totally unnecessary procedure, and one which is slowly declining as people realise just now medieval it is.
The foreskin is not just a piece of skin, it is a natural defensive thing put there by nature, or God if you like. It contains a very high number of nerve endings, it contains glands which release substances helping the end, and it protects the glans from thickening and desensitising, making sexual encounters a lot more sensitive than someone who has had this removed.
I've read a lot of rubbish on forums, usually from women, saying how men who aren't "usually have to have it done anyway eventually" (WTF
) and how it's "hygenic" (Well it might be if he is a dirty sod who never washes under it), and how it "looks better" (Looks no different when erect). These same women you can bet would have a fit if men told them they should have something altered because they would then "look better"
Just like many women on here say men have no right to decide on abortion laws, circumsision is none of their damned business. It's up to men only what is done to their bodies (Sound familiar from the abortion threads?)
To the OP, have it done if it would keep her happy, it sounds like something deeply entrenched in her beliefs. The kid probably won't care when older. Relationships are full of compromises, and it's something one of you will have to back down on
