First of all, there's no such thing really as too late. That said, like many others, my opinion is don't get it done.
If you're ambivalent about it, it's probably better to leave your penis alone. If you don't have any problems with your foreskin (no phimosis, no recurrent and frequent irritations/infections) and you can retract it fine to clean underneath and for sexual purposes, then why would you want to? If it gives you pleasure and has caused little/no trouble, there's no real reason to get circumcised.
No matter how much you look, you won't find a true majority favoring one side or the other. Some guys hate being uncircumcsed, most love it or don't care. Some guys feel getting circumcised was one of the best things in their lives, others regret that decision immensely. Chances are, if you're going into a circumcision expecting and willing things to come out better, then then probably will. If you go in being all ambivalent, then it's a coin toss - a coin I personally wouldn't be willing to toss if everything's working as intended.

I agree with the wise people above who have told you no. There is no definitive benefit to this procedure. Be thankful your parents did not force it upon you without an option, and make sure to allow your sons the freedom to choose as adults (do not have them circumcised as infants).
Like one said, if God did not want you to have a foreskin, He would not have created you with one. Removing it takes away a lot of sexually sensitive tissue which also serves the physiological (functional) purpose of keeping the glans (head) of your penis moist, protected from irritation and more sensitive (it also houses immune cells, so ignore the people who claim circumcision reduces aids and stds, the only thing that prevents aids and std's is abstinance-until-monogamy; the loss of those immune cells reduces your body's ability to resist std's and various infections). The loss of the foreskin will cause the skin on the shaft of the penis to be tight and immobile, and to dry up so that the skin that was the inside of the foreskin would be exposed, tight, and dry, no longer serving it's protective or lubricating function. It's loss will also reduce sexual comfort and pleasure for a woman, as during intercourse it could provide addition tissue to stimulate her external genitals during sex. And besides itself removing sensitive and useful tissue, the parts that are left will be left exposed, unprotected and become desensitized.
Trust me, you do not want to be circumcized.
God bless and take care of the amazingly designed God-given body you have,
Chris
P.S. Look up images and researched effects, as well as videos of the procedure and see for yourself the harm circumcision does.

Unless you have problems staying clean, there is absolutely no reason to have it circumsized... plus from what I understand, if you have it done when you are older, you can lose sensitivity.

My opinion is no. If you do not have a health or religious reason for getting circumcised, why would you want to? I say keep your tallywhacker in tact. It's like a warm pink gap hoodie for your junk. Other penises will be jealous b/c their warm pink gap hoodie was sliced off at birth. Ha! One up for your penis!

No one can answer this question, but yourself. It's your decision. Go to a doctor that specializes in early adult circumcising, and he'll give you the pluses and minuses of surgery. Then you make YOUR decision.

Best advice is to get a consult with a doctor.

Advantages: somewhat reduced risk of cancer, or of carrying STD's; also, improves hygiene. Disadvantage: painful, although it will heal in a reasonable time. My take on it: too close to call.

I'm not a doctor, but I would say no, unless you are doing because you are Jewish.
