Theres only a few hundred jews in Ireland (i think about 900), so they're the only ones who would be.

Why are so many Americans circumcised? Is it only Jews? Or do others do it too?

...and more attractive, I think. I've a feeling that's the real reason. Aesthetic reasons.

It's a real pain in the arse to keep an uncircumcised penis clean. I regret not getting my son circumcised because I had to roll back the forskin every time I changed his diaper, and it's easier to pick up infections when the forskin is still there.

Well here's a quote that is the complete opposite of what you are saying:
Quote:
|
Many people are unaware of the fact that one purpose of the foreskin is to prevent infection during the diaper period as well as throughout life
|
and the purpose:
Quote:
The foreskin has three known functions: protective, sensory, and sexual.
During infancy, the foreskin is attached to the glans and protects it from urine, feces, and abrasions from diapers. Throughout life, the foreskin keeps the glans soft and moist and protects it from trauma and injury. Without this protection, the glans becomes dry, calloused, and desensitized from exposure and chafing.
Specialized nerve endings in the foreskin enhance sexual pleasure.

Just some quotes from sites, the second one is found on loads of sites, as that is the purpose of the skin, and why it is on every mammal in the world (apart from bats). Its a part of your body. You might aswell cut off a babies eyelids.
