Yes they do. The foreskin or prepuce is a natural part of the penis that is there for a number of reasons. At birth the glans of a baby's penis is not fully developed ant the foreskin is still attached to it while the glans finish their development. The foreskin at this stage protects the glans while this development is taking place. boys who are circumcised at this stage of their lives have to have the foreskin torn from the glans damaging the glans and causing an extreme of pain in so doing then the foreskin is cut away this in itself is a traumatising experience for the child and it will often go into catatonic shock as a result. but it at least stops screaming. after this the glans and wound are exposed to a regular soaking in urine and feces until it final heals. that in itself is already a good reason to keep the foreskin. However this is not where it ends. the foreskin once on the mature penis is lined with mucosal tissue which allows it to slide very smoothly up or down over the glans of the penis that and the massive amount of pleasure giving nerves that are peculiar to the foreskin and the glans heighten the pleasure gained from sex and masturbation. without it there would be far less pleasure and the glans on the penis becomes less sensitive because of the constant friction on clothing. the foreskin also makes sex more pleasurable for women. Circumcision is a religious and cultural practice and there are no health benefits to be gained from having it done. as a matter of inflicting this on a child ca lead to serious psychological problems.

Men do not need to have a foreskin. There are many men who have had their foreskins removed and as long as there are no complications with the procedure itself, it does not effect them in any detrimental way. In fact, to the contrary, there is actually some medical benefit, to having it removed.
