The old (very common and Dr. recommended) practice of parents forcibly pushing back the foreskin to clean was the cause of many problems like infection issues and things like phimosis. The tissue is fused to the glans in young boys and this keeps the glans and urethra clean until a child ages and is able to move and clean himself. When the tissue is forcibly pushed back off the glans it often causes scarring which then leads to a whole host of other problems.
It is now commonly understood that the practice of forcibly retracting the foreskin of an infant was bad practice and is no longer encouraged or supported.
I have never had an issue of cleanliness with an uncirc'd man and i have only known one uncirc'd man to have a physiological medical condition and and it was a condition that we now know is preventable simply by leaving the foreskin fusing intact until it natural retracts.
Your insistent insinuation that men with retained foreskins are somehow "dirty" is offensive and prejudicial.
