US circumcision rates drop to record low of 33%

[mandoman]

Like I said, I live in the u.s. And the white women here 9 out of 10 times like men who are cut. It's common u.s. knowledge.

It's common US urban myth. It is accepted as true, without ever being challenged, or really explored. I've found it to be totally untrue, personally.

What you say is very true, but guys/parents in the U.S. have to start manning up and not just make their decisions based upon the whims of women and what they do and don't like. I was circumcised as an adult as well for a number of reasons, but none of which had anything to do with women. It's laughable to me what guys in this country will do because they've become too whipped to stand up for themselves, as individuals and as a gender. I mean, seriously, cut off a part of your body because women like it? Imagine the outrage if we were to demand that women do something comparable, like get a boob job or something.

Being cut should be a personal decision, just like getting a boob job. When the vast majority of men no longer are, women in the U.S. who have a problem with it will have to get over themselves. I'll also add that I was uncircumcised until I was 40, and had a full and active dating and sex life. Being uncut was never a problem, indeed if anything, it was regarded as a bit of a novelty, and not a negative one.

Newsflash. Everything men do is for women. They work their ass off and get in top shape because women like men with hot bods and nice cars.

No it's truth. Maybe cause I live in California though porn capital. But all women I've come across say they find uncut dicks unattractive. Not trying to argue which is better, but just letting u know truth about women.

33%? That is mindblowing. I'm honestly not too much of a fan.

Citation?

So that would be your personal opinion then, based on your own (localized) anecdotal evidence, correct?

Speak for yourself, Willis. (Again.)

"Newsflash". There's a big world outside of SoCal, and as a former resident, I can testify that even there the vast majority of people don't view the culture through your shallow "porn capital" lens. Nor does everyone travel in your narrow materialistic realm of consciousness.

I agree with you. I would be labeled a "white" woman and I find pictures of the uncut guys fascinating:smile: There has been a pole in the womens issues and most of us said we don't care. I'm sure there were all different skin tones mixed in. I don't think being caucasian in the US really matters, it just comes down to personal preference.

I would be totally against having a baby circumcised as it's not medically necessary.

Here in the UK most men are uncut and it really isn't an issue. It shocks me that in the States some women make such a big deal of it, even to go as far as refusing to have sex with an uncut man, or so I've heard?

It's your truth. It's not my truth. As to whether or not it is anyone elses' truth, the odds are 50/50. That does not make it cosmic law. That makes it a penny toss.

Would it not be these same US women that don't like uncircumcised dicks that are leaving their sons uncut and driving the circ rates down? If most women found foreskins unattractive then the circ rates would be sky high

I like cut and like being cut.

 

[SirConcis]

I would take such statistics with a grain of salt. The 33% may reflect only circumcision performed in the same package as "childbirth". More and more, parents get the circumcision done separately a couple days later and this may or may not be counted in those statistics (especially if not covered by a state's insurance plan).

Goddamn, it's still 6,571,500 in three years. Isn't that enough babies cut to keep you in shits and giggles? The rate is an outrage. Total medical scam.

Had to comment as a mid 80's born male in the US being uncut. I say this, because at this point well over 90% of US born makes were cut. Its not myth, its true. Close to EVERY woman I have been with my age has said I was the only uncircumcised male they had been with.

I could talk more about that, but this post would be too long.

There is absolutely no way that is down to 33%. I will acknowledge that the rate is decreasing dramatically because people are starting to become rational and realizing that there really is no need for it, but to say its already down to 33 is not believable by any standards.

The thought of having someone cut the skin on your junk at your current age sounds excruciatingly painful. Could you imagine what the baby is feeling?? These are crucial times where the baby needs to build trust immediately with the parents... chopping off some part of him is not exactly the best way to go about it.

If circumcision was necessary, we should also make it necessary to cut into a newborn and remove appendix. And at the same time remove the tonsils, and continue to surgically remove anything we see as not needed. They are all in the majority of the US public eye useless, right?

I don't even get the term uncircumcised. Not being something sounds negative. Anyone who has their foreskin is "NATURAL," aka Mother Nature's intention, anyone who does not is "MUTILATED."

Considering the thousands of years of evolution in all the different races with all the newborn males having a foreskin, you really do not think that it is there to serve a purpose???


Stay classy World , keep your sons NATURAL. If not, at least let him have the choice.

Totally agree. Nobody really knows the RIC rate now. It is in transition. It is as low as the article quotes in some regions. Also, despite the millions, it is as SirConcis says for some. They think the government cheaped out on genital cutting and get it done privately in states where Medicaid no longer supports it. I worked with a stupid girl who wanted it done before her son's first birthday. Hello, here's your birthday present from Mommy!

I also agree to stop using the terminology of genital cutting, although I always use the term disfigured over the M word.

You're a good advert for full sized vs. circum sized!

I cant find support for this story anywhere on the web. Just a screenshot of this at some convention. I would take this with the biggest grain of salt I could possibly muster. And the whole stat of only 0.3% of the world is cut is absurd...that alone make me question this story's validity.

Most of the validity of the article from the opening poster became questioned in the statement on circumcision rates in Minnesota:

In Minnesota, the rate is in the range of between 25% and 50%.

How can it have that wide a range and be seen as accurate?

my brother posted this article on facebook and i thought it would make for interesting discussion here.... get some coffee, and discuss!

All suggests a certain 'propaganda tilt' which is no surprise here

Like I said, I live in the u.s. And the white women here 9 out of 10 times like men who are cut. It's common u.s. knowledge.

They are responding to what they've been taught (the US women). All of my girlfriends who have been with both cut and uncut men, actually prefer the uncut men's tool better.

They cite several reasons for this, one is that it feels better for them with the glide, and two they feel better because they are able to give the guy more orgasms in less time.

For the guy who mentioned a tight frenulum as him justifying his decision to get a circumcision, the ignorance on this issue is shocking, any other ligament on your body you stretch if it's tight, you never amputate it.

Tevye, here's some good info for you and your adolescent son who is being goaded, cajoled or coerced into seeking a circumcision by his peers and religious counselors. You know you can do a ritual sans cutting:

Jews Against Circumcision

Also the book Marked in Your Flesh by Dr. Leonard B. Glick.

Good point.

Agreed, about the percentage of circumcised men in the world. It's definitely unknown, but 9 out of 10 Arabs and Jews are circumcised, and the majority of Americans, South Koreans, Malaysians, and Filipinos are, along with many Canadians and Africans. The guesstimates I've heard are between 15 and 25 percent.
