Uh, I don't think that's why most modern parents go for it. The reason I've heard is "so he looks like his father does."

    Do men typically show it to their kids? Why would it matter to the child?

    What if the kid has curly hair after the mother's parents? Would they shave it too?

    I mean typically I imagine a child sees the parents penis at some point. Either having a bath with the or walking in on them going to the bathroom or even going to the bathroom with them.

    My mom, an RN, had me mutilated because "it reduces the risk of transmitting HPV".
