Yes, I do think it looks better circumcised. I'm sure I'm biased bc that's how my husband looks. I've seen my brothers uncircumcised when they were babies, and I've googled pictures of it uncircumcised out of curiosity. I definitely prefer the former, but I agree it's a personal preference type thing.
Mainly I just want my son (if the baby is a son) to feel comfortable and confident in how it looks... as older kids/teens already tend to be insecure about their changing bodies and their privates to begin with. I don't want to give them a possible reason to be more insecure, and this isn't necessarily with sex, but with using urinals and changing rooms, etc.
...Though it's a moot point because even if I was against it, Brian already said he'd want it done for his son, and being a guy himself I see that as being more his territory to speak than mine lol.
I'm sure some Catholics believe circumcision is a sin. (Actually, I'm sure they do because I've seen them talking about it on Catholic forums.) But officially, it's in the same category as piercings/tattoos or any type of cosmetic procedure. The Church doesn't officially speak for or against those things, but stays silent on the issues as to allow us to use our own judgement and well formed conscience.
...Or they just have no idea what the fuck they're saying about anything so they play dumb
