The doctor is probably in her early 40s.

It’s nowhere near as common in Canada as in ‘Merica. We’re special like that unfortunately.

I think it doesn't really happen in Ireland except for medical reasons, though I think they changed guidelines around religious circumcision after someone died and doctors do those too now.

America is fairly unique. There are actually very interesting reasons why it’s common here and not most other countries. Believe it or not it has a lot to do with the guy who created Raisin Bran cereal and bogus health concerns related to teenage masturbation.

I'm not positive on the numbers, but believe around 30%of Canadian neonates are still circumcised. Someone please correct me if this is way off.

When I started in the 90’s, > 90% were circumcised at my hospital. Then it became delisted and parents began to have to pay for it. Now >90% are uncircumcised and it’s not done in the hospital.

Before the NHS, wealthy British people did get their babies circumcised, but it dropped out of fashion.

Back in fashion for adults though, like getting a tattoo or piercing!

BTW I support your right to have a #Circumcision fetish. I just don't think it should be forced on tiny babies who have to grow up with no option but to become circ fetishist's. For adults fine, for babies NO. Pro circ are people who fight for the right to have no right. STUPID..
