Cleaner to be circumsized?
Unless you have a very tight foreskin (in which case I'd think an operation would be recommended), you'd have to avoid shower for days for something to build up down there.

I hope history will one day look back on this savage custom with a disdain similar to that which we feel when certain cultures impose it on females.
That piece of skin contains thousands of nerve endings that play a crucial role in a fulfilling sexual experience. It is also vitally important in providing smooth movement of the penis during coitus.
The commonly quoted hygiene factor has been shown to be a complete crock. Fact is that as long as proper personal hygiene procedures are followed there is no evidence at all of any increase of ailments like penile or cervical cancer among couples with an uncircumcised male.
The procedure should be reserved *only* for those males that are otherwise unable to expose the tip of their penis during adolescence, ie those with unusually tight foreskins.

Yeah, I know - I'm just saying that it is not usual to be circumcised in the UK unless your religion requires it.
One interesting fact I read is that uncircumcised men are more likely to catch HIV when having sex with an infected partner than circumcised men. Apparently, in some areas of Africa they are now trying to persuade people to circumcise the young boys to reduce the chances of them catching HIV through normal sex as they get older.

Surely those aren't comparable!A bloke goes into the doctor's and says "Doctor, I want to be castrated". The MD looks at him in shock and asks "Are you sure?" The man replies, "Yes, definitely. I'm no longer getting sexual satisfaction and want to be castrated". The doctor reluctantly carries out the operation.
A few weeks later the man meets a mate in the pub. The mate says "Hey, have you heard that rumour that circumcised men enjoy sex more than uncircumcised guys?", and the bloke replies "Oh B&gger! Circumcised. That was the word I was after...."
My wife is a nurse and she swears if we have a boy he'll be circumcised. I'll never forget her coming home from work and, while we're eating dinner, launching into a description of penile gangrene because an elderly patient didn't keep himself clean 'down there' and somehow got badly infected. Ugh.

If you mean this in the sense that the result is less dramatic I would agree. But obviously they're both cases of genital mutilation. And the majority of instances are driven by cultural rather than scientific reasons in male circumcision too.
For a brief introduction to this subject I recommend reading the article Circumcision in America and the resources at http://www.circumcision.org.
Uncut - wouldn't want it any other way
(I agree that it's barbaric and is essentially, barring fucked up religious reasons, mutilation).
And what's with the topic.. "smooth"?? At first I thougth this was a poll about chest hair It should probably read, "how many of you guys are "cut"?
*wonders if the hairy chests vs smooth chests is an evolution-thing*
HMMMMMMMmmmmm

It's really not hard. You roll it back, run some soapy-water around the area, then rinse. PRESTO!
2 seconds of cleaning vs. potentially horrific scarring and decreased sexual pleasure, it's a really tough choice
And yes, I've seen some pretty bad cut-jobs in my travels!

UGH!
I'm totally against physical abuse against anyone, women included, but if my wife had said something like that I'd turned her over my knee then and there and spanked the holy bejeeebus out of her. What a completely horrible thing to say.
Gender mutilation is gender mutilation. Boys deserve to have a say when it comes to permanently removing parts of them that nature put there for a very good reason.
Once it's gone, it's GONE. Restorative surgery can bring back the appearance to some degree, but the loss of sensation can never be returned.
