"...the number of circumcisions being performed has dropped slowly over the years. Currently, in the US, it is reported that 55% of men are circumcised. This is well below the 80% of men circumcised in the 1980s."

(2,944 posts)I had no clue what circumcision was, let alone what it entailed. My doctor happened to be a Jewish Capt in the US Army, Capt David B. Isaac. Gorgeous man, but he never explained to me what circumcision was, as far as I can remember. It was just done. Many years later I realized there was a choice. Sorry son.
