Hi everyone. My wife and I have two kids - one girl and a newborn born boy.

I was born in Europe in a country that considers circumcision to be barbaric mutilation, but apparently it is common in America still to this day.

My wife has seen a few penises before me but all were circumcised she says.

She recently had a girlfriend come over and the topic of circumcision came up. Her friend said she’d never seen an uncircumcised penis before and my wife mentioned that our son is not cut.

The friend asked if she could see what it looks like, so my wife offered to show this friend of hers.

I actually wasn’t there for any of the earlier conversation. I only walked in during the moment that she was showing the friend. She even let her friend touch it.

Am I right to be upset by this? I later ripped my wife a new one but she claims that there was no harmful intention behind it only curiosity and her argument was that her friend might someday have children and she should be informed about it.

I still think this is fucked up though? Any advice?
