the thing about the health benefits, is that there are none.
And as far as what ive read, there never were any. Yes there might have been a day when dirt etc got caught under the foreskin, but not anymore todays society. and evolution being evolution, there was a reason for it. you have a foreskin for many reason. one is to ensure a suplly of some fluid, i forget the name, smegma or something,
anyway. it was once believed that this fluid was dirty, as it smelled bad if not washed away occasionally. thats one reason people believe cuting started. anyway the fluid is actually antibacterial and keeps the penis safe from many diseases. without the foreskin the fluid drys away and cant come back therefore exposing the penis to infection it would have otherwise been protected from.
