I am.
And I really like it.
The foreskin looks so creepy and weird.

I'm not circumcised and I've never had any problems with it. It depends what part of the world you're from. Around 80% of the world's male population is uncircumcised, and circumcision is most common in the US, the Middle East, and parts of Africa and Southeast Asia. However, the trend in the US has been decreasing in the last 20 years and more or less continues to do so. Back in the 70s and 80s it was as high as like 80-90%, now only between 55-60% of guys are being circumcised in the US as a whole. In another 10 years, who knows, perhaps it'll tip the other way.

Of all the tiring inquiries about comparisons of whether a man is better off being circumcised or uncircumcised, I must admit that this inquiry has gotten the best answers, and the best balanced female to male ratio in answers. I commend you for bringing up a more balanced question about the controversial issue of circumcision or the lack thereof.
I am uncircumcised, and proudly so. Having been born and raised in New York City, I quickly found myself in a minority regarding the circumcision issue the first time I had to use the school gym showers......and was bombarded by teasing, and derogatory remarks about it. Fortunately, a couple of girls heard about it through school gossip, and were curious enough to want to find out about it......experiences of which turned out to be unforgettable. I've never had any problems at all, and the experiences with the curious girls gave me not only a pretty nice reputation, but a very healthy self-esteem.
I was asked not too long ago if I would consider getting snipped if the opportunity presented itself, and although I gave some serious thought, I considered all the great experiences I've had in my intimate life.....and I decided that I like to be different, it's more fun!
Best of Luck!

If we are looking at America, then here's the facts:

Male circumcision of newborns reached a peak in 1968 when 90% of all babies were circumcised. It has dropped continuously since then, with 65% being circumcised in 2004 (last year figures were available). However, this varies widely by state. In western states, it is now only 39%, whereas it is still higher on the east coast and in the midwest.

The American Medical Association and the American Association of Paediatrics changed their positions on this issue a few years ago, and no longer recommend this as a routine operation for newborns. There is no medical evidence showing a benefit except in a slight reduction in urinary tract infections in children under 1 year - these are mostly due to poor hygiene because parents are not taught how to care for the uncircumcised child.

In Australia, a recent study also showed a slight increase in the incidence of HIV transmission to uncircumcised men when compared with circumcised men in the same risk group. All had unprotected sex with their partners. When condoms are used, no difference is noted.

There is no difference in the transmission of other STDs, or in the incidence of penile cancer.

The US is the only country where children are still routinely circumcised for anything other than religious reasons.

depends on where you live and the religion of the guys you hang out with. Worldwide most guys have foreskin while in the USA and a few other countries circumcision is widely practiced. And of course, most Jewish and Muslim guys are circumcised as well.
I'm in Canada where the majority are intact (m included). However, for a couple decades a lot of boys were circumcised, (which means it was done to a lot fo guys my age when they were born) but in the past few decades, circumcision is not done much so the majority overall is back to guys having foreskins.

All muslims and jews are positively circumcised. Means about 1 and a half billion people in the world are circumcised.

I am not a guy, but I do have an opinion, we're original from Europe which means neither my husband nor my boys were circumcused and now neither is my grandson. However my husband needed to have that operation because he had problems and I have to say honestly, I prefer him that way.
Of course in Canada they are going away from it, because they now charge you for circumcision, when it the 70's and before it was a routine procedure. And my daughter, bless her heart, said, if she had a boy he would be circumcised because of cleanliness. Anyway , sorry I butted into the guys survey.

It depends a lot on your age and what state you were born in.

Some states used to do it to all male babies at one day old.

Most of the time, now, it seems to be make him look like daddy, unless mom is some kind of foreskin freak.

I'm not circumcised. I'm diabetic and it has caused some problems.

But I was the only one in the locker room growing up with a foreskin and it got a lot of "Hey man, what is that? remarks from the city kids who did not know much about the facts of life.

i'm not. Yeah most American guys are circumcised, most European guys are not. It's funny because when they asked women what they "prefer," American women preferred circumcised and European women preferred not circumcised. I think it's that whatever they see more of, they are more likely to prefer (higher chance that the penis they like is in the larger group).

Anyway, yeah, just keep it clean buddy. It actually makes the head of your penis (I've heard) hundreds of times more sensitive. So enjoy it when you're getting oral, you feel a joy that no circumcised guy has felt.

Not circumcised
I am OK with it and used to be with m prepucium but as a matter of fact, to circumcise is a good option to do because the smegma who accumulates in the penis of non circumscides males has been associated with squamous cell carcinoma of the penis.

i've been with both circumsized and uncircumsized. i notice no difference; however, i read an article recently about circumcision decreasing the pleasure of sex for a man as the foreskin has more nerve endings than the head.

according to the article, circumcision gained popularity in the US as a means to "prevent masturbation." i don't think it worked!!! =o)
