    I prefer intact (the term for uncircumcised) men. The link in CannedHam's answer should give you sufficient information on the pros and cons of male circumcision.

    Some studies have found an increase in erectile dysfunction following circumcision:

    The foreskin is the primary location of erogenous sensations in men.
    Circumcision reduces sexual pleasure considerably.
    85% of men in the world are uncircumcised.
    There is no proof that circumcision reduces the risk of infection.

    I live in the UK, where circumcision is rare and so women here prefer circumcised.

    In the US, I note boys worry about being teased for being uncut - here, boys are more likely to feel self-conscious about being circumcised. I work in a library, and in a teen advice book I found there is even a section on how to deal with bullying for being circumcised and how to deal with girls not being used to it or self-consciousness about it.

    I prefer uncircumcised, because to me it looks better and I find the look of a cut one a turn off. Also because uncircumcised feels better, more natural and is far easier to masturbate.

    Some argue there are cleanliness benefits to being circumcised, but I had one circumcised partner who had far more odour than my scrupulously clean uncircumcised boyfriend.

    In studies where a woman has experience with circumcised and intact men they usually prefer a man that is intact. It makes sense if you think about it, a complete male is designed to provide pleasure to a complete female. In the US many women are unfamiliar with an intact male, so they base their preference on what they are familiar with and not experience.
    No medical association in the world (except Israel) recommends routine circumcision. In fact in most of the worlds national medical groups consider the risks of complication/damage outweight the possible benefits.
    Europe has never adopted routine circumcision as a necessary procedure, and when a circumcision is performed for medical reasons, the numbers are incredibly low in comparison to the numbers/percentage of US med circumcisions. This make the US doctors look biased toward circumcision or incompetent.
    Circumcision has always been supported for it's medical "SnakeOil benefits". Whatever the major medical problem of the day, circumcision is supposed to prevent or cure it. HIV, Cancer, Epilepsy , Clubfoot, Insanity, etc...,
    Below is a site w/comments from Dr. Dean Edell , a Jewish doctor and parent to a family with both circumcised sons and intact sons. Also a 15min radio show host Bill and Dr Edell discussing the merits of circumcision vs intact (The Great Debate)

    If they do prefer, it's because most men in the US are circumcised; it's a matter of familiarity.

    Circumcision is a debated issue with supporters on both sides. Those in favor cite research that strongly suggests that circimcised men are at lesser risk for getting STDs, less urinary tract infections, and less risk of penile cancer.

    From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circumcision#Medical_aspects
    --------------------------
    "The direct medical benefits of neonatal circumcision are still under debate, with various studies reaching different opinions. The studies have been conducted using cost-benefit analyses. The complication morbidity is compared to the potential gain in expected longevity, and the medical costs of circumcision are compared to the expected reduction in lifetime health costs. In the words of the BMA, “There is significant disagreement about whether circumcision is overall a beneficial, neutral or harmful procedure. At present, the medical literature on the health, including sexual health, implications of circumcision is contradictory, and often subject to claims of bias in research.” Biases notwithstanding, some studies decided that circumcision has a net benefit, some decided that it has a net decrement, and others decided that the benefits and risks balance each other out and that other factors must be taken into consideration. The American Medical Association, American Academy of Pediatrics, and the Royal Australasian College of Physicians all suggest that anasthesia be used if performing circumcision."

    I was circumcised at the age of 22... i wished i got it done earlier but due to cultural and family history it didnt happen. The sex and sensation is enhanced enormously as the contact experienced during sex is directly on the head.... i would recommend it if you enjoy the direct contact on your head. The women ive been with absolutely love it...

    It's funny to read all the coments....I am circumcised and the only real feeling I get during intercourse is orgasm if I am able. My penis is almost numb and my wife uses her teeth to rub the glands going down on me so I am able to feel stimulation all the while building to orgasm .
    For those who have had it done as adults... You think how Great it is now removing 20,000 nerve endings and then give it a few years for the glands to get numb and then talk about your decision.As for the smell some women have an issue with...Take a smell of your vagina around lunch time and then think about what your asking your man to have done though he'll never complain about it to you out of respect for who and what you are.

    Absolutely hands down prefer circumsized. Going down on an uncircumsized man is gross because the skin moves too much. Also uncircumsized men seem to gather sweat and smell under their foreskin and even sometimes urine scent. If unshowered (even for just part of the day) the foreskin can accumulate a nasty smell there, as it requires much more careful cleaning and men are not always known to be the super clean all the time. Also uncircumsized men have more pronounced "penile papules" which are the glands around the head of the penis. When uncircumsized these glands seem to be a lot more noticeable because of the moist environment under the skin and can look like little white heads. While this is completely normal (and not an STD) it is very unsightly. I also think that I enjoy sex a lot better with circumsized men, I feel that the foreskin makes it too smooshy going in even when the penis is completely erect and the skin draws back, it still feels weird to me. Unfortunately the two men that I loved the most in my life were the only two men I've been with who were uncircumsized. It put me in a position where I felt like I had a hard time choosing between the sex that i wanted to be having and the person who i wanted to be with. Ultimately an unhappy sex life is never good.

    Circumcised men are definitely better lovers. The foreskin slides too much. I find that the with a circumcised man it is much more pleasurable.

    Our of the 100 or so lovers I have had about 80 were circumcised and they were much better.

    In all cases gave I gave them oral and a circumciosed man is much easier to bring to a climax. Similarly when masturbating.

    The circumcised man also provided an uninterupted ejaculatory stream of semen. In all cases when I have masturbated them and they have ejaculated, the whole force and tracjectory of semen is more powerful and direct. whereas uncircumsited men tend to dribble.

    It is much easier to fit a condom on a circumcised man, also I have found that the sliding effect can cause the condom to come off more easily.

    I like to feel the full force of the semen hitting me hard and fast.

    I prefer uncircumcised. Its natural and wonderful, and far more practical. Masturbating someone who's circumcised is difficult and doesnt feel so good.

    Yes, I definitely do. My husband got circumcised after we were married and he loves it. So do I. So much cleaner and "convenient". I love the look and feel of it. He says his sensation is so much better. I can see that it is.

    Can i just say, that i wanted to be circumcised from a young age and i finally got 'it' done at the age 22 and it was the best decision i ever made. My girlfriend loves it but most of all i love it. I'm a big advicate for it. All this talk about yes or no.... i would say a yes! most people over analyse it. yes... for sure. Give them the opportunity if you like, but they wont look back.

    From a gur who got it done later in my life, i shouldve got it done earlier. There are no adverse side effects and it looks so much better and my girlfriend loves it. Guys who are 50/50 on it... go for it.

    it varies from man to man and woman to woman. Some do and some don't. I personally think that a talented tounge is more important than the skin of a member. (that's the only way we could explain lesbians)

    here are some things i got from a special report from the washington post's "health" section.

    Kigozi et al. reported on a prospective study of 455 female partners of men circumcised as part of a randomised trial. 39.8% reported improved sexual satisfaction following circumcision, 57.3% reported no change, and 2.9% reported reduced sexual satisfaction after their partners were circumcised.
    Williamson et al. (1988) studied randomly selected young mothers in Iowa, where most men are circumcised, and found that 76% would prefer a circumcised penis for achieving sexual arousal through viewing it. Wildman and Wildman (1976) surveyed 55 young women in Georgia, US, reporting that 47 (89%) of respondents preferred the circumcised penis (the remainder preferred the uncircumcised penis). Bailey et al. report that there is a preference by women for circumcised men, mentioning that the circumcised penis enters a woman more easily and is less likely to cause injury to the vagina.
