Great news

This article is decrying these results. They think the dropping rate is a bad thing and attribute much of it to mistrust of the medical profession. This is what we're up against. Highly respected medical sources supporting bodily mutilation under the guise of superior health benefits.

It's troubling that the drop is not significantly greater. That means there's still a significant amount of pressure on parents to get it done, despite the clear harm that it is doing.

I’m sick and tired of the “health benefits” nonsense still being promoted.

Strange_Chemistry503 · 2025-09-16T16:04:05+00:00

God put it there for a reason. Probably a bad idea to cut it off, no?

Ok_Night_7767 · 2025-09-16T17:21:43+00:00

Researchers suggest multiple factors may have triggered the decline, despite the well-documented health benefits of the procedure

Don't they mean "despite the widespread, self-serving propaganda"?

Americans still largely support and defend this trash.

RennietheAquarian · 2025-09-16T17:52:40+00:00

I fear people will use this to push this procedure more.

oy vey it's getting harder to get foreskin chips

recordman410 · 2025-09-16T17:54:37+00:00

I sent the author of this study an email reminding him that he is a rape apologist and that no medical organization IN THE WORLD recommends routine circumcision as a sexual health benefit.

The fact that this atrocity is even being defended in 2025 is disturbing.

Watch all the cut men running to defend this practice and feeling personally attacked by those who are against circ. Put your feelings aside, are you telling me you support parents doing this procedure for nothing but cosmetic reasons? There is no valid reason to support and defend this practice, especially when majority of the west does not do it or rarely does. The reason why it’s still a thing in the USA, is because foreskin fibroblasts are sold, doctors make money off it, dads feel insecure about their sons not being cut like them, and American women being so damn vocal about their weird and selfish penis preferences for cut ones. Had this not been a widespread thing, American would would love uncut dicks too. Women from cultures that don’t cut, prefer foreskin and see it as more fun.

What I hate about this the most, is American hospitals actively have a campaign seeking out expecting immigrant mothers from countries that don’t do this and hit them with propaganda to make them agree to it. I’m pretty sure people from countries that don’t do it know it’s unnecessary and American doctors try to program them to change their views. One Polish immigrant woman gave birth in 1997 and was pressured over and over again to cut her son, but she refused. She told the doctors it was unnecessary and that nobody in her family was cut, but the doctors didn’t care and kept pushing. Eventually a psychologist was brought in to convince her it is “the best option” and she still resisted and finally was allowed to leave the hospital with her son natural. This is a traumatic experience for a new mother.

Maybe its a demographic change. An increase in cultures that dont practice circumcision having children.

RennietheAquarian · 2025-09-16T17:51:08+00:00

Why did the rate increase with Blacks? Could it be African immigrants?

RennietheAquarian · 2025-09-17T00:36:36+00:00

Not to piss anybody off, but notice how it’s largely JEWISH AMERICAN physicians pushing these myths hard? Aaron Tobian is a Jewish American physician who says there is “no conflict of interest” like I think there is, when you come from a culture and religion that mandates circ. Why are such people allowed to write circ policy in the USA?

Falconoflight777 · 2025-09-17T07:33:28+00:00

What about female circumcision? Maybe make it legal and make male and female circumcision in one law so in 2 weeks its will be banned for both? Oh or maybe women so oppressed so genital violence against them is totally banned yet totally legal against men? And maybe its because every first media product shows how fun and right to do genital violence toward men?

Go to r/nursing and see the complaints about adult men with phimosis, paraphimosis, smegma, UTls, difficult catheter placements. Old men don't clean themselves well, and the nurses will leave you in your smegma until finally someone who cares might clean you up. They sometimes forget to pull your foreskin back after catheter placement or cleaning, and then your dick could swell and need surgery. I don't want nurses tugging my foreskin around, no thanks. I'd rather be circumcised than put up with that level of misandry against me just because I'm a man. Women are quite capable of engaging in double standards against their male patients while excusing/defending/overlooking the nasty parts of female nursing care. They will make fun of your dick size whether "too large" or "too small", your foreskin, your scrotum being swollen, "turtling", you name it. I understand that it's not a medical argument for circumcision, but as someone who had no choice in the matter, I'm happy being circumcised. And yes, I know, most nurses are decent people, but the mean ones more than make up for the nice ones, and old men in nursing homes are vulnerable af.
