"Mind your own cock I say."
There is where the problem lies. At a time in the not so distant past (less than 50), it was common for Doctors to just take a newborn boy and circumcise him without the parents' consent. It was not required. Why did they do it? There were no actual studies as to what benefits circumcision might have. It was easy money. Many a boy went in to have his tonsils out and came home without his tonsils and his foreskin (circ'd without parental consent). Why? "It needed doing."
Then in the 1960s it was decided that ALL surgical procedures had to have a consent form. By that time enough circumcisions had been done that people just had their sons done. The problem there is that the Consent Form for the surgery was and is signed by someone besides the patient. A newborn can not give his consent.
SO, the vast majority of males in the USA have been told what kind of dick they are going to live with. The choice was not theirs. I HAVE that choice. The option to be circumcised is open to me. That is something that is not appropriate for me though. A neonatally circumcised male was not given the option to have a say so in the type of penis he would have.
Circumcised cleaner? No. The same glands that produce smegma are still present in the circumcised penis. A circumised penis still has to be washed. It does not take me any long to wash my dick than it would a circumcised one. I do know some guys who think that because they are circumcised they don't have to wash their dicks.
Circumcised odor free? No. They just have lost many of their pheremone producing glands.
Circumcised healthier? In some ways yes, some ways no. It has been proven by more than one study that foreskin does not make a male more succeptable to HIV. (Yes, there are several studies that say the opposite. But these were proven to be flawed and biased) We are equal in that respect. Uncircumcised males are more succeptable to HPV. Circumcised males are more succeptable to Chlamydia. The other stds are pretty equal. True there is a slight leaning toward uncircumcised men but the difference is slight. Not enough to warrent surgery.
Circumcised men still get herpes, syphillis, HIV, warts, cancer, etc.
Circumcised prettier? Amputations are not pretty.
Circumcised sexier? Circumcised men have less sensitivity AND less staying power. They are also more inclined to impotency.
SO, If you were circumcised as a baby, it was done without your permission for very vague reasons and little medical indications or benefits, no sexual benefits.
I am very glad that I have my foreskin. I have never been turned down for sex because of it. I have never been told that it was ugly or dirty. I have never been refused a blowjob because of it either. I HAVE been turned down for sex because my dick is too big. I have been told my dick is beautiful by many women. I have been told that it is beautiful by several men that I percieved as straight. I have never been turned down for a blowjob because of the size. All have given it an effort but all have given up because their jaws just got too tired and I have told them to quit because I don't like my dick getting scraped by teeth.
