Smegma is underrated. It moisturizes and cleans the glans, kind of like a lotion and cleanser at the same time.
I think a lot of people don't understand the engineering marvel that is an uncircumcised penis. It's a place for glans to retract to and rejuvinate when not in use. A circumcised penis is like an airplane whose landing gear doesn't retract.
Diagrams to educate yourself. (NSFW?: Anatomical drawings of the penis)
Scroll down to figure 9. Uncircumcised penis looks like a circumcised penis when erect, but the skin has far more travel along the shaft. That allows the shaft to be stroked without dynamic friction along the exterior surface of the skin.
Why someone would voluntarily:
remove a large portion of nerve endings from their sex organ,
desensetise the remaining portion of the nerve endings,
remove the body's ability to clean and moisturize the glans,
remove the body's natural lubrication system,
and remove the body's natural protective covering for the glans,
is beyond me.
But hey, different
strokes for different folks
