    Surgical removal of the foreskin for "hygiene" is analagous to surgically removing the eyelids so that you can keep your eyeballs "clean." The foreskin, as so many readers have pointed out, is a perfectly positioned, entirely normal and necessary body part that serves the male for good reproductive health and sexual pleasure-- two functions, by the way, that have been preferentially selected across millenia towards the continued evolution of the human species. New bumper sticker: Darwin had a foreskin!
