I've never had it done myself. Without grossing you guys out here but when I am hard the head of my cock doesn't fully show its still mostly covered by my foreskin. Because of this I sometimes wonder if it would feel better if it was fully exposed during sex, Bj or footjob etc. So I looked into circumcision and found loads on google. So google is your friend in this case.
Also why are you wondering about it?

I watched "Penn and Teller: Bullshit!" on circumcision. I've never thought about getting it and that just confirmed my feelings on it. - for one you're cutting a good few 10s of thousands of nerve endings off.
I'd watch the Penn and Teller before you decide - perhaps that's an odd thing to say, but I'll just warn you it's weighted on the side of not getting it done.
And mine's "hidden" by the foreskin too. So what? between a bell and a torpedo, which looks more down-to-business?

To answer your question...I don't know. I'm not Jewish.
Hey, it seems to be an American fashion thing. Loads of American girls are talking about how if a man is uncut, it's "disgusting" etc...well not if you keep it clean girls, but w/e you want to believe
Lots of people get it done there under their parents requests as newborns is my understanding...?

I was circumcised right out of the gate so I don't know the difference. My father was circumcised at 13 years (the nurse who changed his bandages was his aunt - a little insult to go along with the injury). Dad assured me that I'm not missing a thing.
Apart from the aesthetics of it, there is a hygiene issue that certainly concerns a lot of women. There's nothing good to say about smegma.

I was cut as an infant. Luckily I don't remember it. My father-in-law had it done when he was in his 30's (medical reasons?). It somehow got screwed up and developed scar tissue making an erection painful. If I hadn't had it done at birth, I sure as shit wouldn't take the chance later in life!

Alls you need to know is how to clean it and it really isn't hard to do.

Was cut as a baby and we're not Jewish. I didn't even know this was something that wasn't natural until I was older in my teens and probably saw a magazine with an uncut hillbilly in a porno spread. Come to think of it I never saw any other guys in a locker room growing up as a kid that wasn't trimmed either.
Its pretty common here in the US to have it done to boys as babies. Personally I wouldn't do the cock mutilation if I didn't have it done before either.

...yeah...it is typically an 'American' thing...and yeah...the Jews have done it for some way of honoring their god or something like that.
I think why America had done it was mainly due to medical beliefs and I don't think religious in nature.
I had mine done when I was an infant...and we aren't jewish either!
As for which is better...I know when I was dating women overseas...they seemed to like it looking 'more clean' and less like a 'bag' hanging from the tip!!
...for more pointless trivia...I had read that during the Greek Olympics...way back when...when the athlets had to perform nude...Jews weren't allowed to participate...so what they would do is use a fake foreskin and I guess that was enough to make them pass and be able to perform in the Olympics!

The ancient Olympics were between Greek city states; I don't recall Israel being enumerated along with Athens and Sparta. I believe your source is in error.

Howdy,
ok, you busted me. I was incorrect about not being allowed in...they were allowed in, but much like Rudolf the Red Nose Raindeer...they were ridiculed for being different and attempted to hide their ridicule by the others!
"In Hellenistic times, Greek-speaking Jews would sometimes take part in athletic exercises. They were then exposed to ridicule because they were circumcised – a custom which was unknown in the Greek tradition. In fact the Greek athletes, even though naked, seem to have made a point of avoiding exposure of their glans; for example by tying a bit of string around their foreskin. In roman-occupied Jerusalem, Jews that went to the gymnasium would wear prostetic foreskins made from sheep gut in order to avoid being ridiculed for being circumcized."
