Also done for hygiene and apparently guys who are circumcised are less likely to get Urinary Tract Infections and Sexually Transmitted Diseases.
On the other hand, not having sex with people who have STDs is the best way to not get STDs so I think it is a moot point....you have sexy time with fire your genitals are gonna get burned, circumcised or not.
