Asia has a total of 120 islands in it, and is circed by another 250 islands altogether. They do not have names, but they are still islands out there somewhere.

I think if you want a man to get circed for you then you should be willing to get a boob job, lip injections, whatever else he wants to be done to you. What is good for the goose is good for the gander right?

No medical association recommends circumcision. The risks and downsides outweigh any possible benefits. Circumcised boys are at more risk of bleeding to death. Too much skin can be removed. Adhesion can occur when the foreskin is severed causing life-long disfigurement.
The truth is it is an unnecessary surgery. Doctors are taught 'first do no harm'. It is unethical to remove a functioning body part without the person's consent.
Men in Britain, France, Ireland, Russia, China, Sweden, Denmark, Germany the Netherlands, etc stay intact and they all do as good if not better than than their circed counterparts. There are a lot of things that can go wrong with a circumsicion that will need further surgery at a later time. A baby's penis a tiny thing and it is easily botched up. In the US where it is still widely practiced there is also a thriving industry repairing and adjusting botch ups.
Care for a circed boy is a lot harder because you have an open wound to take care of . This is not only uncomfortable for the child , he is also at greater risk of infection and inflammation. Add to this the real and extremely painful trauma of the whole affair and you may well end up with post traumatic stress syndrome problem and serious interference with mother child bonding.
Care for an intact boy is easy. None is required. Just leave it alone. The foreskin is not retractable in infancy. So no need to clean under it or pull it back.

In general, I'd say NO. Especially if you do not take daily showers or wash yourself immediately after sex. In no time, it smells a little fishy, if you get my drift. It can get nasty, fast...!!!
It's a matter of what they're used to. A girl shouldn't tell a guy to get his penis trimmed, any more than he should tell her to get her untidy labia removed.

Do you really want to inflict pain on your son as he enters the world? You might hear people saying "oh they use pain relief". But the pain relief isn't enough to completely mask the pain. Second of all, they don't use it sometimes. As it is done behind closed doors, you don't know what torture your son will be going through. See this recent video by a nurse who just watched his first circumcision:
There are other reasons not to do it.
Care is a lot easier with intact boys as there is nothing to do. The foreskin is unretractable in infancy so it should be left alone. No cleaning under it or pulling it back is required. In fact, it is advised by doctors to just leave it alone:
Circumcised boys require a lot more care. Circumcised boys are in discomfort for some time post-op because there is an open wound. This wound can easily become infected. It can also become irritated by ammonia in the urine. Another possible problem is that the severed skin can re-attach to form a skin bridge. Moms with circed boys have to be constantly vigilant and take measures to make sure this doesn't occur. Basically, it is a whole lot of extra hassle (that usually nobody tells you about).
The foreskin is a highly specialised piece of skin found nowhere else on the penis. It helps in masturbation and during sex.
As you say it isn't necessary health wise and when you weigh in the complications, the pain, the loss of sexual functioning and the breach of bodily integrity, it is definitely a net-negative operation:
As for what circumcised men think. They are likely to be highly biased in favour of getting it done. This is mainly because they don't want to admit they are worse off. This article called "The vulnerability of men" is interesting:
To me these reasons were sufficient enough not to do it.
As for it having to be done later. That is rare if you just leave it alone and let nature take care of things. Misdiagnosis of a tight foreskin by unexperienced doctors is not unusual USA. An unretractable foreskin is normal in infancy (see the kidshealth link above). Some doctors do not know this - hence their recommendation of circumcision. In fact, the average age of boys being able to retract their foreskin is 10 years of age.
Most kids experience ballooning - where the pee fills up the foreskin before it comes out. Over time, the hole becomes wider and eventually the foreskin becomes retractable. This can happen any time up until puberty. The important thing is not to force it as this can create scar tissue which will impede retraction. So just leave it alone. It requires no cleaning on the inside.
