Answers:
Yes. That's the advantage of being left uncircumcised, you can choose. Although most remain uncircumcised. (Satisfaction levels are about the same, with the uncircumcised group a point or two higher [first link; question 17]; the difference is that about half of circumcised guys have mentioned that they would prefer to have made the choice themselves rather than have had it done as a baby [second link])

And as they said, it's painful at any age, even as newborns.

Pain for teens/adults is common especially during erections and urination for a few weeks.
Then you have to take into effects the risks of circumcision (can occur on either age, although some are most common for newborns)
Less sensitivity / pleasure (due to constant rubbing of the head)

More difficulty with masturbation (since the already-lubricated foreskin wouldn't be there to rub the head with)
http://www.blackwell-synergy.com/doi/abs...
Meatal stenosis (when the urethra opening gets irritated due to constant rubbing and closes up); not found in uncircumcised guys

Higher erectile dysfunction rates

Again, less sensitivity

Shorter penis (a guy who was circumcised posted about that this morning; he went from 7 to 5 inches) caused by skin pulling it back due to tightness

Skin bridges (where pieces of skin attach to the head, like bridges)
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query...
And those are the major ones. Those are risks; they're not guaranteed, just like the risks for being uncircumcised are not universal. Everyone's different. I've provided you with the links so you can compare the rates and such, some are common, with the masturbation difficulty in the 63% range, while others are less common, like meatal stenosis (around 10%). I guess that's why circumcision is becoming less popular; only the USA is the last remaining advanced/industrialized nation to do it, and our rates are falling (to as low as 14%).
