An uncut penis does look more attractive visually yet a lot of sensitivity seems to be lost when uncut and may lead to desensitisation of the glans.
Having foreskin does lend itself very well to friction and extra stimulus regarding opposite forces when having intercourse and even the most lazy of the male species WILL keep himself clean both for physical and aesthetic reasons.
Circumcision has it's benefits but for frig's sake, let your kid's decide what they want to do with their bodies.
Enforcing any sort of will upon children is a detriment 9 times out of ten and performing surgery unnecessarily to appeal to your own sensibility is selfish and ignorant.
By all means support your children and guide them in future choices but to take away a body part (no matter how insignificant at the time) in order to appease a religion or doctrine is going against everything that a parent should aspire to.

easy to say when you don't have ages of religious dogma implanted in your brain
and i'm still indifferent, i don't see circumcision as "mutilation"
i'm still of the view the foreskin doesn't serve much purpose other than as a home for knob cheese
and finally, if you masturbate when you have a foreskin, it just comes out faster, s'all
and from all the scientific data presented here, there is no clear cut statistic on whether it is a benefit or a detriment
