Benefits of Neutering
Reduces the distracting and destructive behavior associated with the male's efforts to get out and find a mate
Reduces the urge to roam. This makes it less likely that you will lose your pet, which in turn makes your pet less likely to contract a disease, get in a fight, get injured, or become a victim to cruelty, poison, or traffic.
Eliminates sexual discomfort, distress, or distraction ... making your pet happier and more content.
Eliminates testicular tumors and reduces prostate gland problems.

Reduces the urge to fight.

All of my boys have been neutered. I think the reduced risk of cancer and the reduced need to mark/fight/etc., are worthwhile reasons. Good luck and welcome to YT!
