My brothers are uncircumcised because my mother wanted them to make the choice for themselves. The problem with that, specifically in the case of the eldest brother, is that he doesn't even brush his teeth regularly and he's 24 now. I don't think he cleans himself well or often, so that's a problem from all perspectives.
You can't know when they are children if they'll be inherently lazy, but you could avoid a lot of worry as a parent that way, assuming you trust the doctor to do it right.
My husband is a doctor so he is in favor of circumcision for preventing penile cancer (he says it's horrendous, and he's had patients that had to lose their penis because of it), but he does admit if you keep yourself clean it's not as much of an issue. It also decreases urinary tract infections within the first year of life. He does think it prevents other STD transmission to an extent, but I didn't get the impression that he thought it was huge.
How do you get a guy in this lazy generation to care enough about personal hygiene? That would be my only concern. And yea, circumcision as a "cure" for masturbation is a bit sadistic, imo, but circumcising an infant doesn't have the same purpose.
Besides masturbation is completely healthy!
