[...] the ones that exclaim that uncut penises are somehow superior can be insulting.

It's might be offensive, but it is the truth. A whole, healthy organ is generally superior to one that's incomplete and dysfunctional.

Of course, it is not the kind of truth you might want to use if you are trying to change someone's mind but if all you want is to shut some moron up it works well enough.

Some of us chose to get circumcised much later in life, and there's nothing wrong with that.

And it is every adult's choice to make, regardless of sex; I've seen some terrifying genital modifications, from sub-incision to outright penectomy. However, the fact that we are all free to mutilate our bodies has no bearing on the function of said body.

Just because one might have chosen to cut off their testicles freely will in no way change the fact that the person is now sterile and can no longer produce testosterone. In the same vein, a circumcised penis still suffers from the same problems regardless of whether the operation was done with or without the male's permission.

The foreskin, and particularly the frenulum, is much more densely innervated. It is also the most fine-touch sensitive part of the penis, which is further corroborated by the fact that it is the only part of the penis where Meissner's corpuscles are usually found.

The foreskin also has a mechanical function. It provides frictionless stimulation that not only stimulates the glans and the foreskin itself but also whatever surface it is in contact with in turn. The circumcised penis is mechanically inferior in every way; both in terms of masturbation and intercourse.

And of course, there's the fact that the sheath of the outer foreskin protects the fragile mucosa of the glans and inner foreskin. It's the reason why intact penises look glossy and brightly-colored as opposed to the discolored, cornified texture of those where the glans and inner foreskin remnant is forced to endure the rough texture of clothing and the drying caused by constant exposure to the air.

frictionless stimulation is not impossible without a foreskin.

It can be, depending on how severe the amputation and it will always be subpar which which is sort of my point.

It's a stretch to say any of these are benefits over the American culture's acceptance of uncut penises.

Which, unlike the things I mentioned, has not, as far as I know, been quantified in any way beyond vague anecdotal evidence.

It is also irrelevant to my point. Whether Americans are or aren't partial to mutilated organs has no impact on its function. Any man pathetic enough to consider having himself butchered in such a manner in order to appeal to females is free to do so, but if he is going to to rationalize his choice away by pretending that circumcision does not reduce the function of the genitals then we have a problem.
