Circumcised is when a penis has gone through a surgery called circumcision, which cuts off the front end of the penis' skin that protects the head (normally that foreskin slides up and down. The first link below describes the difference in words, while the other is an illustration of the two differences (the one with foreskin is uncircumcised; the foreskin slides back often when hard so they can look similar then):
http://www.cirp.org/pages/anat/
http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/imagepages/19093.htm

Circumcision is a traditionally Jewish and Muslim surgery, although it was introduced and encouraged to the Western, developed world (North America and Europe, but especially the USA) as a way to stop masturbation, especially with the help of Dr. Kellogg. (see link 1) However, although scientific studies have discovered that circumcision harms masturbation by up to over 60% (2), needless to say, it doesn’t completely stop masturbation. Many circumcised guys just find it more convenient to use a lube like KY or lotion as a result (3) since the typically moist foreskin (like the eyelids) is not there to rub the head of the penis with (4).

Most developed nations quickly rejected circumcision after noticing its ineffectiveness against masturbation (they were quite religious back then!), and as a result the United States remains the last developed nation doing it to a significant percentage of newborns. (5) This was done as a result of the for-profit American health care system promoting myths about benefits of circumcision (6), such as preventing penile cancer (6a, 6b), preventing HIV (6c, 6d) despite the USA being the developed nation with the highest HIV rates and circumcision rates (6e, 5), and preventing STDs (6d, 6f). As a result, circumcision now brings in hundreds of millions of dollars to doctors and the American health system. (7)

However, circumcision has been becoming less popular as years have passed by. In the 1960s over 90% of guys were circumcised in the USA, now circumcision rates are as low as 14% in some states. (8) More and more parents are discovering that circumcision carries more risks than benefits, and realize that by leaving their sons uncircumcised, their sons have the choice of choosing what they’d like, since the surgery is irreversible (you can't go back if you don't like it or if it goes wrong).

Circumcision risks include the loss of sexual pleasure according to multiple studies (2, 9, 10, 11). Those studies take into effect many sensation points, including the foreskin, and they involve many participants. There have been other studies that claim no difference, but they don’t even take into effect the nerve endings on the foreskin, which as seen in one study, are some of the most sensitive points on the penis (10). One study even found an increase in erectile dysfunction rates after circumcision (10a). In another study, it was found that females ended up reaching orgasm with and preferring uncircumcised males in 9 out of 10 cases (10b). In addition, circumcision is extremely painful on newborns (12, 13, 14), and you risk many bad conditions, such as a buried penis when too much foreskin is removed and limits the size of the penis (15), or adhesions or skin bridges that develop from the head to the shaft when the skin heals after the surgery (16), meatal stenosis [occurs in up to 10% of circumcised males!] when the opening of the penis becomes irritated from too much exposure and rubbing and begins to close up (17), and meatal ulcers (18). All those risks are, of course, not including the possibility of having too much skin removed, which can cause discomfort during erections due to lack of skin to allow the penis to expand, and could consequently cause a hairy penis by pulling pubic hair and skin to the shaft. Often a circumcision scar develops around the penis after circumcision. In addition, circumcision has negative effects on breastfeeding. (18)

To conclude, here is a link that describes the anatomy of the foreskin (19) and the development of the foreskin with infants, a link especially helpful for parents (19a). Ultimately, one survey found that although uncircumcised guys are a bit more satisfied percentage-wise, it’s within the margin of error. (20) The only difference is that those unsatisfied uncircumcised guys can simply get circumcised and end up satisfied either way. If you're cut or uncut and happy, you'll say that side is better. If you got cut later in life, you'll say cut because you had problems with your foreskin before. If you're cut and had something go wrong or wish to have had a choice, then you'll say uncut. One survey found that up to half of circumcised guys wished to have had the choice themselves (as in, been left uncircumcised and they could have chosen to get circumcised if they wished later on in life). That's a huge number. (21) That, along with the risks and negative effects that are being seen more with the help of the Internet, may be what is bringing down circumcision rates.

If a man is circumsized, he's had the foreskin on his penis surgically removed. This procedure is usually done shortly after birth. Some cultures and religions do this as part of a ritual. Some do it, believing circumsicion leads to a cleaner genital area for the man, and some physicians are of the opinion that circumsized men have less problems in that area that uncircumsized men.

Uncircumsized men are simply men that have not been circumsized. The foreskin can be pulled back over the shaft and should be properly cleaned regularly. Little boys who are uncircumcized should be taught how to clean themselves at an early age.

A circumcised penis is one that has undergone cosmetic surgery to remove the foreskin covering the head. It's done in the Jewish and Muslim faiths, and to some people in the USA.
Strangely enough, nobody else sees the need to perform this supposedly "healthy" surgery, and the rumours about it reducing infections etc. are not proven or not significant, especially if you have average hygiene.
An uncircumcised penis is a natural penis that has not undergone surgery. Most men in the world are uncircumcised.

uncircumcised means that the penis is still natural and has the foreskin that covers the penis head. circumcised means that the foreskin has been removed and all the nerve endings that go with it. about 85% of the worlds men are still intact and have a foreskin. check the links below for some pictures (not pornographic)

Some people spread lies abouth the intact/uncircumcised penis that it is dirty and spread diseases. If that were the case then why does no goverment medical body in the world recomend routine circumcision and some countries even make it illegal

Music lover got any enough exclamation marks after your sentences?

Anyway.. When a male is born he has "foreskin" on his penis.

If a guy is circumcised the foreskin on his penis was surgically removed.. usually done when a baby.

Uncircumcised is the opposite.

But it doesn't matter whether your parents decided to have you cirumcised or not.

Hi. Circumcision is often mistaken for males not being large in their member size. The word circumsicision is latin for "cut around". It is usually perform when there is excess skin around the private area of a male. In most cases, for medical purposes, such as the potential of cancer or health related factors. It is also known as removal of the foreskin. Uncircumsized males have a higher chance of getting urinary tract infections, sexual transmitted disease (STD's), and infections of the penis. If you are concern about the size of the male member, it varies from person to person. Males inherit this geneticly but environmental or cultural influence may or may not play a factor in adulthood. So basically, when someone is circumsized, they don't have extra forskin. Someone who is uncirumsized, has extra skin at the end of their shaft and if surgically removed, it is usually done early on in infancy. I would recommend you taking a science course if you are interested in this kind of knowledge. Most people mis-interpet the difference but, I am glad you asked and it is not a weird question to ask.

An uncircumcised penis is a penis that still has the foreskin on the end of the penis. Most parents, when their son is born, have that foreskin removed in a procedure. But if not, when the boy has sex for the first time, the foreskin on his penis will get pulled back which is pretty painful (or so I've heard).
