It's called Phimosis, and I'm a sufferer. Although I don't really see it that way. My foreskin rolls back far enough in order to keep everything clean and there's no pain during intercourse as long as she's naturally lubricated. There are ways to stretch the skin manually or using a cortizone cream applied daily, resulting in the skin being able to move freely over the glans over time. The problem is that men suffering from this condition have never had their glans exposed and thus it is extremely sensitive. More exposure would result in an obvious loss in sensation, but I dont know if I'm willing. I think I'm more afraid of sex becoming less pleasurable and not being able to get my sensitivity back once lost.
As for the OP, I think circumcision for the sake of doing it is unnecessary. Neither me or my Dad are and if I have a son I'm leaving him intact. If he wants to later on in life or when he becomes sexually active, I'll have no problem with it. I think it should be a choice. Not the default.
