The debate about whether a circumcised penis is better than a penis with the foreskin intact has been raging for hundreds of years and will continue to do so.
But here are some reasons why men should adore and love their extra bits of genital skin.
Most arguments against keeping the foreskin run along health grounds.
Advocates of circumcising penises of boys and men argue there is less chance for disease.
These arguments are pretty much invalid in a modern society where people are taught to observe hygiene.
Nobody would seriously advocate chopping off someone's ears because of all the potentially disease spreading dirt that can build up there.
No! Clean your ears, just like men should keep their genitals clean.
Others trot out arguments related to the pleasure a woman gets from a circumcised versus an uncircumcised penis.
In fact, there is hardly any difference at all.
In fact, studies carried out within the adult movie industry, as well as surveys conducted by urologists and other professionals working in the area of sexual health, have revealed that most men that have an intact penis perform just as well as circumcised men, and in some cases even better.
One myth that has been busted concerns premature ejaculation - uncircumcised men do not reach orgasm prematurely because of an over-sensitized glans.
On the contrary, they are keeping up the action for just as long, if not longer, than their circumcised counterparts.
In actual fact, there are plenty of people who would say that sexual pleasure is in fact much greater for both partners when the penis still has its additional, natural skin attachment.
Sometimes, when the foreskin is attached directly to the glans (head) of the penis, or if the foreskin is too tight and will not retract properly, then circumcision is warranted.
But it should never be done just for the sake of looks.
Some people are actually fans of the foreskin, and think it looks more attractive than an exposed glans.
Many cultures around the world practice circumcision as an ancient tradition.
These practices are also more prevalent in some western countries than in others.
In the USA and Australia, for example, the operation has been more widely practiced than in Europe.
However, the rates all throughout the developed world are decreasing quite rapidly.
The penis is an amazing organ and one to be loved and treasured, and should not be brutalized by a surgeon's scalpel unless medical intervention is essential.
The old argument that because "his dad was circumcised, so will he" has almost lost all validity.
In many cases, mothers are more insistent upon their sons having this operation than their dads are.
Some sexologists believe that these mothers are simply basing their arguments on what they find aesthetically pleasing.
When the fathers were asked to give their view, many of them expressed their sense of loss at having their foreskins removed at a tender age.
Occasionally, these men felt a degree of resentment towards their parents who had deprived them of a natural birth right.
They questioned the necessity of removing a fully functional organ from their bodies.
Anti-circumcision groups today are at least leaving the door open for men to decide for themselves - when they are old enough to do so - whether or not circumcision is the right thing for them.
And, indeed, some men do decide upon adult circumcision for purely aesthetic and cosmetic reasons.
On the down side, a large proportion of these men later regret what they have done.
Unlike a vasectomy, there is no reversal of a circumcision - at least not back to the original state.
Overall, there are many great reasons to hold onto your foreskin for life, if you haven't had it removed already.
