I can't believe this is even debatable. I can't believe that in a society we consider civilized, I have to actually present a structured argument against cutting off pieces of babies when they're born.
I think the hygiene issue is even simpler than that, these days: it's pretty hard to do anything that causes ejaculation without creating a need to wash up afterwards, whether cut or uncut. At that point uncut people wash under the foreskin anyway.
The hygiene issue is only relevant if someone is neither having sex nor masturbating regularly. Telling people they mustn't masturbate is a whole other can of worms…
