Isn't it easier to keep clean or something if you don't have your foreskin?

Well, old school of thought was, AFAIK, was the disease HID, under the foreskin. And probably 100 years ago, if people only bathed once a week, this was probably true. Or today, with the French!
There was also evidence of lowered cancer risk, on the penis. Not that I've ever known anyone with penis cancer. And I seem to remember something about lower incidence of syphilis, among circumcised men.
Edit, and I also remember there was supposed to be less incidences of masturbation, since an UNcircumcised penis, sort of has it's own built in "pocket pussy".
