From what I've been told by the misses who's in the medical field, there can be a hygiene issue with higher risk of things like yeast infections and UTIs. Also, studies I've seen show a higher risk to STDs.
Got curious to do a little looking and found this:

Personally, I'm snipped. Keeping your junk clean and fresh is enough of a pain already, can't imaging having to deal with that as well. |

Was joking.
Just make sure when he gets older, he doesn't get a brilliant idea like this guy:

Did you hear the Cedric Maxwell story on weei that day  about his mom telling him he's getting his tonsils out?
don't do that to your kid, I'm sure you would tell him the truth anyway.
it's painful at any age, just that if you are older than a toddler, you remember it. |
The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Yea, tough issue, I had my boys done because I am. I will say I saw teasing in the showers aimed at those who weren't circumsized. Not brutal...but the old anteater/covered wagon/longsleeve jokes. There are legit health issues as JohnnyD said if they go uncut, but good hygene can cure those.
Long story short.. parents choice.

I think the health things are historic old wives tales. I've really dont a ton of research. There isnt really too much backing it up. Our doctors told us, as you said its just choice. Im not thinking of getting it done now, just have to start talking to him about it and getting him used to it. I had a good friend in college who wasnt cut and he used to score more girls than anyone I ever met. We used to joke that it was a curiosity factor for the girls, there may have been some truth to that |

Also snipped but your wife is right. Ever heard of schmeggies  Its less work to keep it clean and away from mildew. Snip it and do your a kid a favor unless your last name is Flinstone. |
