Off the top of my head the obvious would be more sensation, more for the SO to play with and myself, natural lubrication, protection, and knowledge...which is the knowledge to be proud that my parents didn't submit me to such torture against my will as a child just to conform to social pressure.
I've seen the arguments about sensation, whether it means much during sex or not. Well plain and simple my foreskin isn't devoid of nerves, therefore I have more sensation, more fun.
What your SO likes would vary of course, but I find it fun to play with my foreskin. Feels good and it's something else to change it up when I masturbate or played with during sex.
Natural lube for both sex and masturbation. This is probably the biggest boon so far, when I was younger and more embarrassed about masturbation I would have been a lot more limited if I had to use lube...or hurt myself if I didn't. Even now I can masturbate easier. I've played with lube out of curiosity, and the extra mess it makes is not fun. Hasn't happened to me but I can imagine running into a woman who doesn't have enough natural lubrication and the foreskin making the difference in sex.
Protection...from everything. Won't save me so much a kick in the nuts but from clothing, dry air, etc. When a penis doesn't have a foreskin the head gets thicker to compensate. That extra sensation may mean a lot when I'm older and less sensitive.
Hygiene has never ever been a problem. Not once. I enjoy touching and cleaning my penis in the shower anyways, even when I'm not masturbating. I'm already cleaning my pubic region anyways, it takes all of a few extra seconds for cleaning. No downside there.
The only downside at all has been being different and a little embarrassed when I was younger. But that downside has turned into an upside and one that I gladly have paid for all the benefits. That slight embarrassment lasted a few years and I'll be living with my penis a lot longer than that.
Having to write all that was why I didn't want to write more in the first place, and the sides seem to be pretty well drawn, but I hope this helps some.
