I'm uncut and if I have a son I will leave him intact.
The foreskin isn't just a flap of skin, it does serve a purpose. It protects the glands and keeps them moist. And it is pleasurable to have it touched.
It's really easy to clean an uncircumcised penis to avoid infection and odor. Hop into the shower, pull the skin back and wash it with warm water. Sure, it smells if you don't clean it for a few days, but most of your body will start to stink if you don't take the time to wash yourself.
As far as looking like everyone else, your kids are going to be teased while growing up, period. Removing their foreskin so they look like the other boys in the locker-room (or their father for that matter) isn't going to make life any easier. If they want to look circumcised they can pull the skin back. It takes about 2 seconds and it isn't painful or permanent.
When I was younger I did wish I was circumcised. I was afraid girls would be put off when they saw my penis for the first time. In reality most girls don't even mention the fact that I'm uncut and the ones that have were curious (leading to a fun learning experience), not grossed out.
I'd bet the majority of the men that were circumcised at birth would have left themselves intact had they grown up with a foreskin. It's easy to say you don't miss something you've never really had.
