Makes sense; incels became more popular during that decade.
Good, personal take is circumcision is weird. Cutting off how we’re supposed to be born. Also nerve endings are there so makes orgasms worse for the individual
2017 I wonder if it’s related?

oh here we go…the only thing that generates more comments than circumcision is bidets
Good news! Circumcision = genital mutilation
Ope bodily autonomy! Darn those leftist scum!!!
We need to stop the antiquated practice. Let men feel again.
I’m surprised that the drop isn’t bigger. I kind of thought it was more universally agreed that it is a useless procedure now.
A little weird if Black people aren’t specifically asking for it.
Good, we don’t cut baby girls clitorises off. Why would humans ever see a newborn male baby and decide they want to take a razor to its penis?
Anybody who says it’s easier to clean, you’re ignorant. Males get more pleasure from an uncircumcised penis.
The worst part is people do it before the male even can decide on his own if he wants it done or not
Until last week I thought this was a rare occurrence.. not most of the male population
Before everyone starts debating: actually read the article and find out whether or not circumcision is recommended as a medical practice, and why.
I know this used to be one of Reddit’s favorite topics of all time, but I’m actually surprised the number drop isn’t more significant.
>Scientific evidence supporting the health benefits of male circumcision — surgical removal of the foreskin from the penis — dates back hundreds of years to observations made by physicians of their circumcised patients. More recently, research has continued to confirm that the procedure reduces penile inflammation, urinary tract infections, and acquisition of HIV and other sexually transmitted infections, such as genital herpes and HPV (known to cause oral, cervical and penile cancers).
>In response to the evidence, the World Health Organization (2007), the American Academy of Pediatrics (2012) and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (2018) have all recommended that male babies be circumcised for lifelong health benefits….
>Among the factors listed by the researchers is parental distrust of medical advice.
>“Despite overwhelming evidence that neonatal male circumcisions provide health benefits, increasing public skepticism in the United States toward medical recommendations may be driving more parents to choose not to have their sons get circumcised,” explains Tobian….
>”by 2011, one year before our study period began, 17 states had ended Medicaid coverage for routine neonatal male circumcisions,” says Tobian. “This likely created barriers to such services for families at low-income levels during the decade we analyzed.”
From the source article, since I don’t think any of the comments are reading it.
Me white, wife chinese, son is unaltered.
For those who can’t or choose not to read:
*In response to the evidence, the World Health Organization (2007), the American Academy of Pediatrics (2012) and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (2018) have all recommended that male babies be circumcised for lifelong health benefits.*
The hospital didn’t even ask if we wanted it done when my son was born. Seems like the default M.O. these days is to assume the parents don’t want circumcision unless they specifically ask for it.
I’m surprised it’s not more.
