I mean not that I will judge you if you don’t have a foreskin, I have dated Americans, Muslims & Jewish men quite happily and never shed a tear for their lack in that department.

When our son was born, it never occurred to either of us to NOT circumcise him. However, bc he was a preemie, it wasn’t done until he was about 5 weeks old. Can’t lie, those first diaper changes I was like, “Oh! Right! That’s the ‘before’ version.”

Yes, I think it’s essentially treated as the default still in US hospitals, right? Changing slowly, but still the norm

The int'l medical consensus is that newborn circumcision is unhelpful, if not unethical. AAP is disagreed with by EVERY other major ass'n of physicians to have considered the issue & the evidence. The attached is a great place to start to understand why:https://www.researchgate.net/publication/316527603_Cultural_bias_in_American_medicine_the_case_of_infant_male_circumcision …
