So, there's really nothing wrong with having a foreskin if a guy takes care of himself (and again, it's pretty easy). Prove those misconceptions wrong.

Yes, an uncircumcised man has to take a wee bit more time daily to wash his organ after pulling back the foreskin, to clear the accumulated smegma that would start smelling if not cleaned daily. This is a ritual that becomes a norm if only men are conscious of the need to keep the area clean. It may be due to lack of education or laziness that men don't clean this part every day.

Don't men brush their teeth when they get up after sleep (to control bad breath), wash their bodies during shower to remove sweat odor, and clean their noses, ears and eyes to remove body secretions and accumulated dirt? The same way they need to clean their penises too, and that too at least once a day.

Barring this, unless there is a real medical need for it, circumcision is an avoidable operation. One can refer to restoringmen.com for details of the advantages of not circumcising.

Women too need to clean their vaginae daily as that part also has natural secretions that would smell if not cleaned. Nature has thus treated men and women equally in this respect!

There is no proved research to show that clean, uncircumcised men have greater chances of contracting diseases than circumscribed men.

Not to worry Taylor;

There are plenty of us uncircumcised men living and thriving in the U.S., and it's all good.
