However, you can always tell cheap eastern euro porn from american porn by the presence of the foreskin.

And americans have developed a bit of an 'ick factor' towards the foreskin.

This, pretty much.

At this point, though America is (in theory) primarily Christian, it has become a cultural standard due to historical trends in medicine. It's actually relatively recent - by all accounts, coming into popular practice at birth in the twentieth century - but firmly entrenched in our visual standards. Much as thinner women are generally deemed more attractive in US culture, as are circumcised men.
