Notice I mentioned reproductive mistakes? We're talking about dicks here. I'm aware of the flaws of our inherited genetics and bodies.

The fact is that foreskin likely provides more protection than it provides determent, at least long enough to reproduce. After reproduction, evolution doesn't give a shit.

Cutting off foreskin is barbaric and almost wholely rooted in religious dogma with a few exceptions where it may be medically required.
