Let's see what:

» a strip of skin that keeps the glans from getting the best most direct stimulation?

You again forget that the foreskin itself does feel as well and has a role in sexual stimulation. If I pull back my foreskin, I can give direct stimulation to the glans. I don't know why is the skin a problem, then.

» Ease of cleanliness?

Cleaning the penis is not witchcraft, whether or not it has a foreskin.

» Better disease rejectiom?

That's such a myth I'm bound to laugh at it. Isn't it scary that from most diseases and especially AIDS, the circumcising USA has the highest rates in the western world? Thank it for this myth!

» the adult look of a circed penis?

This is irrelevant in my eyes and I won't speak against it, as it's my subjective opinion that the "adult look" is irrelevant. Whatever floats your boat.

» But absence of foreskin has very little to do with the true
» sensations of sex and buildup and orgasm.

Doubtful. Orgasm and enjoyable sex can be achieved with either. That's true. But that it had very little to do with it, is quite doubtful. For an example, my mate is most triggerable on his foreskin. Gently fondling the ridged tip of it is like a magic spell for a boner.

I'd still have to ask a Japanese on that. I have never met this information other than the mouth of circumcision supporters.
