Is it bad to be un-circumsized?!
Question:
Is it bad to be un-circumsized?
my boy friend is un-circumsized and i was wondering if that is unhealthy for him or even me
Answers:
Nope. As long as he keeps it clean (which as one, it's very easy; takes very few seconds once a day) he'll be fine. That's the only 'inconvenience' there is to being uncircumcised; I don't consider it an inconvenience, though.
Most guys in the world are uncircumcised. The USA is the only advanced nation who does it a lot still, but rates are going down a lot (in some states it's as low as 14%). See the link below.
As with anything, everything has advantages and disadvantages. Being uncircumcised has advantages too, for example, circumcision has been found to reduce sensitivity/pleasure in the long run and make masturbation more difficult (oddly enough that's how it was promoted in the 1800s in the USA):

So just use it to your advantage. You know, that foreskin slides up and down when you grab it, so you can use it to rub the head and stimulate him. And since it's already lubricated on the inside, there's no need for lubes (unless you want them).
(Added in response to other posts) As far as STDs go, studies have found it for both ways. Here's one that found that circumcised guys have higher rates, for example:

My view is that if you have a lot of partners and practice unprotected sex, you're bound to eventually get an STD, but if you're clean and smart, you'll generally be safe. =)
As far as HIV/AIDS infections go, when comparing industrialized countries, the USA has the highest level of circumcisions, yet we still have the highest level of HIV/AIDS infections. That's using CIA statistics (uncircumcised Europe and Japan have lower rates):
