I'm going to lay it all out there. If you don't have it circumsized then it just stinks. A man can't put his nose down there and smell what a woman can. Even if a man washes it, it's still going to smell. It also leaves a man to be more open to yeast infections. Bacteria is going to get into the area around the head and the head is going to be wet all day from leaking urine and sweat. There is none of this problem if it is cut. If there is no skin to cover the head then there is less sweat, less bacteria, less white stinky build up, less of everything and it will stay dry all day long.

CIRCUMCISION IS VERY BENEFICIAL, its cleaner and several research bodies have concluded that circumcised men have less risk of contracting STD's such as AIDS-HIV or herpes.
Uncircumcised penises are difficult to keep clean, and more prone to infections and penile cancer, studies have shown.
A circumcised penis is naturally clean and virtually free from urinary infection. You will not have to worry again with careful washing of your penis.
Is it NOT true that the AAP (American Academy of Paediatrics) does not recommend circumcision. They simply say they leave the decision to parents. But recently, and specially after the New Zealand study, the AAP has been discussing if it may be necessary to change their policy and recommend circumcision to all newborns as they used to do, so in the future we may see that the AAP advocates again circumcision.

About STD's:
As I said, several studies carried out by prestigious research bodies have concluded that uncircumcised penises are more prone to infections and contraction of STD's, including AIDS-HIV. Circumcised men have been proved to be up to seven times less likely to be infected than those who are uncircumcised. Have a look at this site: http://icuxbridge.icnetwork.co.uk/news/tm_objectid=14095142&method=full&siteid=53340&headline=-circumcision-protects-against-aids--name_page.html
As for women, studies also show that circumcision also protects female partners from AIDS-HIV and other STD's. Browse this article: http://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/Press_releases/2006/02_08_06.html
About sensitivity of a circumcised penis:
No medical or physiological study has proved that circumcision reduces sensitivity, opposed to common belief. It is completely FALSE that circumcision reduces penis sensitivity. The American Academy of Paediatrics (AAP) confirms this on their web site; have a look at: http://www.aap.org/pubed/zzzjzmemh4c.htm
Circumcision is an easy and nowadays *painless* procedure, which has many benefits, and virtually no risks.
Circumcision is NOT an amputation. Circumcision is NOT comparable at all to female circumcision, which is something completely different.
Circumcision rates are INCREASING nowadays, both in the United States and overseas. Many African and South American countries with little circumcision tradition are starting to promote the procedure to help to reduce the AIDS-HIV infection rates.
Finally, this site has a lot of useful and *unbiased* information. Make sure you have a good look: http://www.circinfo.net

I can speak on two sides of this particular topic... My husband is 37 and uncircumcised. He doesn't seem to have any sexual dysfunction or medical problems. But when "it's" uncovered it is very sensitive. I just had my 8 year old circumcised a week ago mostly due to his father's insisting and b/c he is getting of age to where he'll need to take on the responsibility of keeping it clean himself. So I agreed to it. But my personal opinion of it is that if you were born with it...then there must be a purpose for it??

I agree with those who say a circumcised penis looks more attrative...... also I think a circumcised one is easier to keep clean. My little brother is uncircumcised and he has had a number of infections down there.

It inhibits the transmission of the AIDS virus. It is endorsed by Jewish people. Smegma is not a pretty thing.
On the minus side, some penile sensation might be reduced.

Circumcising adult men may reduce by half their risk of getting the AIDS virus through heterosexual intercourse,

No reason. In the past it helped keep it clean and made it nearly impossible to masturbate. Today, we have showers and love to spank it. Although, I have to say, uncircumsised ***** aren't as attractive.
