It's a barbaric practice perpetuated by stupid ideas like "I want him to look like daddy."

The forsekin has the least amount of touch receptors in any piece of skin the human body:

It might have nerves, but on the outside of the foreskin. The nerves in the foreskin also run down the entire shaft of the penis. So cutting them off makes no difference to the amount of nerves.
And as the previous study shows, circumcision makes no difference to sexual satisfaction. It does however reduce the risk of HIV transmission by 60%.
As for Keratinzation:

They argue that permanent externalization of the glans penis results in desensitization due to keratinization of the glans that buries nerve endings deep into this structure. However, no solid scientific evidence supports this assumption.

The Keratination effect your talking about is very minor.
My point stands. There are multiple observable medical benefits to circumcision and no observable loss in sensation or function.
