[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I believe current rate in the US is close 50/50.

So while boomer parents cannot fathom choosing not to circumcise, and most of the children were circumcised, the US is a different place now.  Lots of people are making more educated choses about healthcare vs the old thinking of "it looks funny/gross" if you don't circumcise. Plus more immigration.  The 1970s-90s practice norms are dying.  So while you personally may think it looks weird or girls won't like it, or some of the other dumb reasons since it was the norm in your generation- that will not the experience and opinions of the next generation of teens that are now young children.

I think this is a good point. Boomer and older Gen X women might thinks an uncut guy is "weird." But, younger women have probably experienced both worlds, and don't have a hangup about it, one way or the other.

It's just an odd old American practice that is dying out. [/quote]

"Unlike other places around the globe, the United States has a proportionately larger prevalence of circumcised males. As of 2021, the U.S. national circumcision rate was around 71%, compared to less than 20% for most European countries. Around 4 in 5 Gen Zers believed that the ideal penis should be circumcised, compared to roughly 70% of millennials and 60% of Gen Xers and baby boomers."
