*so much so that in the USA an uncircumcised penis is considered a deal breaker by many*

Sounds to me SM, those many would best be traded in for an easier
going female, unless you're looking to become yet another henpecked,
US style husband.

Dear Yabby,

In the United States - circumcision is the standard
practice in hospitals. One is not given a choice.

Dear Lexi,

I'd say that your information is about 25 years out of date.
Time flies you know :)

Yabby,

The reality is that for the female partner, the risk of infection from stds and other diseases such as thrush are higher for a non circumcised penis.

As I stated earlier, I don't think that there is a strong argument for circumcision, but there is no argument against it either.

SM, when I was a kid, I still remember my dad teaching me to wash
my penis every day, including under the foreskin. Unlike his mother,
who was deeply religious and insisted that he only touch it with
a piece of paper, never directly!

We have moved on a great deal from the days when people only used
to bath once a week or once a year. Its why they invented perfume
after all. Today its simply a question of common hygiene, which
it seems some people still have a problem with, when it comes to
the penis.

We don't cut off bits of labias, so leave that foreskin alone.
If somebody wants to chop it off, let that be their decision.

Yabby,

It is entirely possible to compensate for a lack of circumcision by being fastidious, but it is nice not to have to. I also doubt that every one else is quite as hygienic.
