Circumcision reduces pleasure, sensitivity, and increases masturbation difficulty by rather big percentages. This compared adult men who had been circumcised as newborns with uncircumcised guys, so it means that the sensitivity is lost over years as the head gets used to being rubbed by underwear and such.

New studies confirmed that this year (and one from this month). They're in the British Journal of Urology:

As far as HIV goes, that's for Africa. When you compare developed nations (the USA, Europe, and Asia) it's like completely the opposite. The USA has the highest rate of HIV and circumcision; go figure. That's usuing CIA statistics:

If your foreskin is tight, are you sure you just haven't slided it back before regularly? Mine was 'tight' when I was younger, and all I did was slide it back the most I could when I showered and wash the head the most I could, it eventually went back all the way and is now perfectly fine.
As for cleaning; it only takes less than 10 seconds to slide back and rub the head. I've never had an issue with that.
Fewer and fewer parents are circumcising newborns. The rates are now as low as 14% in some US states.

Oh, and if it's really tight, consider using 0.05% betamethasone cream; you can even buy it online for like $10. It works in 95% of cases.

Your friend is wrong about cleanliness. Foreskin is easily washed. Any body part that does not get washed will be dirty. But if you pull back the foreskin and wash it, it will be clean. She is right that you would lose a lot of sensitivity if you had it done.
Can you pull back the foreskin to masturbate? If so, you will be fine with sex as well. If you can't pull it back and you are over 18, you might have phimosis. THIS IS NOT A REASON TO BE CIRCUMCISED!
In most parts of the world phimosis (tight foreskin) is very successfully treated without surgery. In the US doctors (often circumcised themselves) like to take the way that is easiest and most profitable FOR THEM. But it's not their penises being permanently mutilated! The only real medical indications for circumcision are frostbite, cancer, or gangrene in the foreskin area. All three are extremely rare.
Try stretching the skin very gently with your fingers. It's usually easy to do in a warm bath, or else use some baby oil or lotion. Just hook your fingers on two sides of the skin and pull until it just starts to hurt - no more - hold a few seconds, relax, and then repeat. If you do this as often as you can for a couple of weeks, the skin will probably start to loosen. If not, do ask the doctor for some hormone cream to help. If all this sounds slow and tedious, just think of the weeks of pain you are likely to endure after a circumcision!
Take a look at the excellent information at http://www.cirp.org/library/treatment/phimosis You'll need to scroll past the stuff about babies, but there are a lot of good links. Good luck - and don't let anybody chop off your foreskin! Get a second - even a third - opinion before you let anyone near your penis with anything sharp!

frist of all this is not an answer that any girl could ever really know unless she's a doctor. Just remember there are million and million so poeple in Europe who are not circumcised.
As for cleanliness you just have to make sure to clean it every day. I use a little baby shampoo and it workds well. You can also stretch it and if you happen to get irritated you can always apply some oil like olive oil. Olive oil has anit bacterial properites so it will help keep clean. But you still have to wash.
As for sensitivity. Well i had a friend who got circumcised and he didn't lose much feeling but some poeple say they do lose feeling. So it just depends ont he person.

It is a personal decision for the man. If you are having trouble with tightness then it maybe a good idea for you to get circumcised. The sensitivity loss is not that much and it is a little cleaner for your girl friend. So if you are thinking of it then get it done if that is what you really want.

Male circumcision improves sexual desire and temptation as hell!!!!!
Since I got circumcised, I can't even rest..
Thinking all the time about masturbating and other staff too..
I've never felt that way before being cut..
I'm a doctor by the way and it's the most guaranteed thing..
Thank you..

rather, extremely some adult men opt to have it carried out. think of roughly it this form: you would be able to make the alternative to be circumcised whether this is not any longer for your self. there replaced right into a time whilst maximum adult men weren't circumcised. meaning a dad with a foreskin chosen to have his son circumcised simply by fact he knew what it replaced into desire to have all that pores and skin, and desperate it would be greater effective long previous. this is painful to have carried out as an person, so the dad desperate to maintain his son the annoyance of a foreskin and the soreness of remembering the technique.

it's ultimately your decision. the other answers posted here have given you some good info; i'd check it all out. i've lived life both ways--got cut as an adult. can't say that i miss the foreskin. but, that's me. some guys are happy after they're cut, and some are not. it's not as painful as you might think it would be, but it still hurts enough. heal time is three to six weeks. and, you'll have to learn to masturbate all over again, cause its way different. good luck in your decision.

i know what you mean.i used to go to the loo and when i pissed the pain was unbearable.the doctor told me i needed to get circumcised.i told him to wait one month and surprisingly enough now my foreskin can roll back.i wish you could give it some time then youll see if there is a change or if theres none.i think the other comments are monotous trivialities.you should do what you like no what chicks will like. if it is the pain that you are afraid of,some peop[le opt o do it while asleep.i know what you are going through but i advice you to wait.

It all depends on the condition of your willie,if the doctors really can't do anything else but to circumcise then I suppose,regretfully that you have it done but that is the last resort,after all other methods have failed.

If your foreskin is too tight, then do it but if this does not cause any problems to you, dont do it, you will lose the sensitivity..... and the pleasure!
