I know it's controversial, but maybe you shouldn't cut anything off another person if they don't ask you to. That ain't your dick. It isn't your right to modify it.

I remember first hearing about it, and was so confused. I thought circumcision was cutting off the tip, because i was circumcised at birth (as usual in the middle east) and didn't know what foreskin was, lol

fuckers took my foreskin, can't have shit in the middle east 😤

Out of all the places I'd expect to see no data on, I wasn't expecting Greenland to be on the list.

Why do they have the UK as yellow in the graphic when the most up to date source on the page has the UK at 20.7%?

Not sure, but by some accounts, circumcision in the UK (outside of religious communities) was mostly a thing among the aristocracy. At one point, they started retaining the services of Jewish mohels who were skilled at it. King Charles III was reportedly circumcised by one.

The US, in contrast, has the weird sexual-hygiene ideas of the Grahams and Kelloggs to credit for its prevalence (supposedly the procedure discourages “self-pollution”, i.e. masturbation). No idea why Australia is orange, as you’d expect the robust Aussies to mercilessly take the piss out of American puritanical hangups.

No idea why Australia is orange

The map is pretty misleading tbh. For Australia, it looks like it's using data from 20 years ago and takes into account the entire population from that period.

For perspective, in 2023 only 2.48% of male children were circumcised.

Personally, the only people I'm aware of who are circumcised were circumcised in a different country before migrating to Australia.

We got lots of religious people who do it. But u don't really hear about all the religious people cos they mind their manners and don't try force their religion upon u like in the states.

I'm torn about this subject.

  1. No man has ever complained about more of his penis.

  2. I want women to know it's not going to be sweaty when they put it in thier mouth

Wash your dick

There are no sweat glands under the foreskin.
