All boys are born intact. In fact circumcision is an outdated torture that should be abolished. It does nothing to help the function of the penis and actually loses some of the nerves in the penis. I am intact and love it and I have had no complaints From anybody I have been with. The main thing is to teach the young boys how to keep their penis clean and they will have no hygiene problems and better sex because of the extra nerve tissue

A few questions to answer for yourself: Does your foreskin retract (pull back) easily and without discomfort/pain? Are you able (and do you) clean under your foreskin every time you take a shower/bath? Does it feel good when you play with your foreskin, or when you masturbate with it? Have you had any major problems with your foreskin (e.g. an infection, etc)? If the answers are "yes" to all of those but the last one, then why bother getting circumcised? You wouldn't really benefit from it except for the aesthetics if you think it'd just look that much better (which really isn't a great reason to begin with). The question is what's better for you, and only you can decide that, really. Some guys will say being circumcised is awesome, and many say being uncircumcised is far better, and many still just don't care. If you have no problems with your foreskin, getting circumcised doesn't have any real benefits for you. Yes, circumcision could decrease your chances of penile cancer. BUT penile cancer is super rare (rarer than male breast cancer) and there are other factors that come into play. Basically, you have to also have a lot of unprotected sex, smoke, and have terrible hygiene down there. As long as you use protection, don't smoke (or quit), and practice good hygiene, your risks aren't any higher. Some people say that being circumcised is less hassle. I don't know about that, as it's pretty hassle-free with a foreskin too (just pull it back, wash, pull it back forward). Also, with a foreskin you never have to use lube (which many circumcised guys do have to use, and that can be a hassle to clean up). Lastly, circumcision removes a lot of the nerves in the foreskin, that some people think contribute to sexual sensitivity (other people debate this). Regardless, there are a lot of nerve endings in the foreskin, and in general, more nerves = more sensation. The foreskin also protects the glans (penis head) and keeps it more sensitive. See the links below. So in the end, it's up to you. Being circumcised is better for some guys (especially if they have major problems with their foreskins all the time or they just really want to be circumcised), but for most guys it's not worth it. As the old saying goes: "Why fix something if it isn't broken?"

Several studies have shown that non-circumcised men are at greater risk of human papilloma virus (HPV) infection.
Circumcision reduces the amount of smegma produced by the male. Smegma is a combination of exfoliated (shed) epithelial cells, transudated skin oils and moisture that can accumulate under the foreskin of males and within the female vulva area, with a characteristic strong odor and taste. While smegma is generally not believed to be harmful to health, the strong odor may be considered to be a nuisance or give the impression of a lack of hygiene.
Non-circumcised boys and men tend to have higher rates of various infections and inflammations of the penis, and of the foreskin, than circumcised men.
Both of my younger brothers were not circumcised and I remember growing up they always had problems with hygiene and cleaning it. I feel it is better for the guys health to become circumcised when they are a baby, unless it is because of a religious belief.

absolutly nothing is wrong with not being circumsized. Circumsision is a horrible practice.... taking away so much feeling for the man...
the argument for circumsision is hygene.... it is bogus... the guy just needs to keep himself clean....

What does circumsition do. To me, its does not change a person, it does not make the person any better or worse, it does not make anyone more or less beautiful. you are always still the person you are....
So i dont have anything to say regarding circumsition. its a choice..
