To be honest, i havn't seen one shred of conclusive evidence to say that there is an advantage to having a circumcision, just statistics.
Excusing any entry into any euphamisms and profanities, every guy who isn't circumcised will know exactly exactly what gets him off, so will every guy who is circumcised. The ONLY people who can comment on the who it feels better are those who have had a circumcision after entering their sexual life.
I would bet that the extra few thousand nerve endings do make a difference, but i'm not going to go into surgery just to prove that point.
As for cleanliness, give me a break! 4 seconds is all it takes to give jr a clean in the shower. Should we remove the teeth because they cause build up of plaque which causes bad breath? Should we sew up the anus because of all the nasty things that can happen there?
The human body is a cesspit of bacteria and other nasties every second of every day of every year of all our lives, deal with it. Some people are more prone to infections that others, some people don't bother with personal hygene. Saying that removing the foreskin will stop bad things happening sounds like hogwash to me.
The forskin increasing chances of sexual infections? Do these kind of people realise theres a whole other 6 inches of potential entry waiting for its turn to get stuck in (excusing the pun)? I'm sure all of that is prime teratory for STDs, so is the big hole at the front.
The forskin serves a purpose, otherwise it wouldn't be present in all of us, with it's own little glands and other associated paraphenalia (yes, i am aware of the nipples in men, or the apendix, no need to bring those up, they're pissing off anyway).
Those who argue asthetic reasons are (as i am aware) those who are circumcised. If thats what you've grown up with, i'm sure thats what you'll consider normal (even though, by definition, its not), and some of the replies definatly show that.
The question is, if you asked your son when he hit 18, would he like to chop the end of his penis off because someone believed it might help him in some possible way, i think his response would be to tell you, in the nicest possible way, to fuck off.
Edit: Gatorade - Your society may advocate circumcision, mine certainly doesn't.
