Initially the pressure came from a South African girlfriend, apparently it's common practice there and she didn't like my foreskin but when I checked out the procedure on the internet I manfully resisted the temptation to have it done.
However I then moved to a mainly Muslim country and in the course of my time there I had a number of girlfriends all of whom wanted me to be circumcised, mainly on the basis of culture I would say. After living with the woman who is now my wife for a while I eventually gave in to the pressure and had the op.
Like I say there is no problem, all the people stating "facts" one way or the other frankly don't know what they're talking about. The sex is no better and no worse, the cleanliness issue is no better and no worse and there is no more discomfort without a foreskin than there was with it.
It is a totally neutral experience (except for the day or two after the op when it hurt like heck!)
Thanks for the info. So far, my husband and I have not regretted our decision. My son can make the decision for himself as he gets older on whether or not to keep the foreskin.
