If you have an area of the body that has many receptors and you subject it to continual friction through contact with clothing for example it will desensitise the analog for the woman would be the same.
Sorry, Keith, what does that mean? I have edited my post to say: Sorry, I understand. You mean the foreskin helps protect the head.

we might do well to not be so arrogant to think we know better (than God if you like)
I dont think any of the quoted reasons suggest that and indeed some of the main reason for doing it is symbolic of the covenant with God.
not wearing synthetic restrictive clothing and of course personal hygiene play there part.
True, hygiene is important to both and synthetic boxers can reduce the sperm count.

Membranes are designed to protect and maintain lubrication, eyelids are a good example so leave well alone would be my advice.
True but you don't reduce any membranes during circumcision. The head is somewhat protected by the foreskin.
