It was very common in Canada too. My parents decided to break the cycle with me, but I was the only uncircumcised guy in the locker room growing up in the 90s.

I think it’s much less common in canada now. Especially in the Atlantic provinces

I think so too. The doctors didn’t even mention the possibility when my son was born, and if we had wanted it we would have had to specifically ask.

Weird. TBH I didn’t know that. I’m not, my brothers not. My kid is not, nephews, cousins etc. Come to think about it, I don’t know why I know this, but it was an easy decision to tell the doc: “do you want to cut part of his penis off?” My ex and I were both sort of surprised it’s still asked: “uhhhm. Noooo. Nope. That’s a 100% no.”
Actually come to think of it, the dude she cheated on me with wasn’t either.

It’s been declining but in 1981 it was at peak with 65% of male babies circumcised. In 2007 it got down to 55%. Source: www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/…/circumcision_2013.htm

Damn, I‘m happy that this isn‘t common practice in Germany.

How’d you find that out?

His superpower might be that he can tell if somebody in close proximity to him has the entirety of their penis.

Don’t tell the republican party about him.

When we had our kid, it wasnt even mentioned. An “at request” service.
