Cheri;
I was reading an article at http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/1921837.stm
The article states circumsicion curbs cervical risks and that men that are circumsized are less likely to develope genital warts.

I was circumsized at birth and, for me personally, I'm glad it was done. I have no recollection of it, and never had a problem with sensitivity. The women I've spoken to regarding the subject, including those who did not know my "status", seem to have a general preference for circumsized men or just have no preference at all. I have yet to meet a lady who expressed a definite partiality to guys who are intact, but I'm sure those women must be out there in great numbers as well.
From what I've heard, having a circumcision performed after childhood is much more involved and extremely painful. Can you say "stitches"? And there's always that possibility of the ol' "slip of the knife" happening and causing unforseen damage down there.  Unless you have a genuine medical reason for getting one, my advice is to let things as they are. I doubt that all the hassle and pain would be worth whatever minimal improvements you MIGHT experience in your quality of life.
If I had any sons, would I have them circumsized? Based on my own experience, I would absolutely say yes. But every parent has valid reasons for whatever decisions they make, and there are no right or wrong decisions about this.
Regarding the rule, I have never heard of anyone barred from participation as a nudist at any place just because they have a foreskin. If such a rule exists somewhere, that is totally outrageous.

David, I'm with you with your post:I HOPE NOT! I'm circumcised but hope it doesn't matter if I am or I'm not. If it did matter to a potential partner, it'd sure be a yellow flag of caution. Perhaps the only issue here would be that of cleanliness which I think Kim has touched upon. However, I know many men who aren't circumsised and there has never been a problem with that. As a matter of fact, some pediatric physician's liken it to the ugly ritual of female circumcision.

David I think you post about sums it up. As for women, there is not much difference in circumcisized, and uncircumcisized, just a matter of individual preference.

Doing what I can to positively promote nudism

I'm going to go out on a limb here. If you are a nudist and not Jewish, then there is no good reason to circumcise your male children.
One of the principles of nudism is being natural and one of the strongest religious reasons upholding nudism is the idea that we were made nude. If you believe this then we were also made uncircumcised.
If you are Jewish, then you circumcise because of the covenant that God made with Abraham. That is fine for Jewish people.
I don't believe that God would have made us with foreskin, if He didn't want us to have it!
If you are circumcised, as I am, then there isn't much that can be don about it. But, why would you make that decision for your child?
It just seems that it is going beyond what is necessary and for no good purpose. Statistics about cervical cancer rates do not indicate whether this was a cross cultural study. There are all kinds of contributing factors that cause cancer. What I would want to know is are cervical cancer rates higher in cultures where men are not circumsized? Africa for instance.
I would bet that they are not higher and that there are other contibuting factors. This is not scientific, but scientists find counter studies all of the time.
Earlier, it was said that it is no big deal. I think that it is. One individual is making a decision about someone else's body. I think that it is a big deal and should not be made without full consideration of the facts.
If it does not benefit the male baby, then it should be left the way it was meant to be.
As I said, I was going out on a limb. I hope it doesn't fall off (the limb that is...)
My parents told me "wear clothes". They also said "Santa Claus comes down the chimney"

Kim, I was debating whether there was a "z" in the spelling and now reading your latest post I think your spelling looks right. As far as cutting away the clitoral hood, I've heard of nasty stories, not the least of which is a complete loss of sensation. I must add it's a subject I haven't researched nor intend to. But the 'pull back' is arousing to me...Perhaps it's the same with some when with a 'uncut' penis? I dunno'... ...Notice I didn't try to spell the word so early in the morn'?!

It can also be difficult to get little boys to clean behind their ears...

Most people did not have a choice whether they were circumcised or not, it all comes down to religion and your parents. Most of us simply where not old enough to say other wise. Yes it's true that you can get circumcised later on in life ( drink a bottle of scotch first ) but I just cannot accept that this would be an requirment of any club, if so I would question that club's values.

Must you be circumcised to be a proper nudist?
