This is just a personal attack on the contributor, I think you should respond instead to the content. He quoted many men with foreskins or their partners who complained about foreskins smell after washing. He gave sources that I looked at that have THOUSANDS of these complaints. The isn't about what you think of the contributor, it's about what you think about all these people who have miserable sex lives because their foreskin stink even when they wash it. You just dodged the issue.

Actually America isn't 20 percent of the global population it's less than 5 percent. Most of the 37 percent of the men in the world who are circumcised are from other countries.
>Newborn circumcisions have dropped 30% in the last 35 years, and today only about half of newborn boys are circumcised. Why? One reason is because the American Council on Pediatrics has said "the benefits are not great enough to recommend universal newborn circumcision." Another is because it's ethically reprehensible to mutilate a boy's genitals without first being able to obtain his consent.

As I undertand it the decline in the US is because of the huge influx of immigrants from Asia and Latin America who do not (yet) circumcise their sons. Almost all white American boys are circumcised. Second and third generation immigrants may adopt the standard American practice, we can just wait and see.
> Please stop propagating and projecting your narrow-minded, ignorant, and self-loathing agenda. Young uncircumcised men, already constantly bombarded by media that tells them "they aren't good enough unless..." have enough self-image issues already, and would do well without having to read your nonsense.
If uncircumcised men have bad self image and circumcised men are content then maybe the solution is more circumcision and less denial about foreskin problems? 37 percent of the men on earth are circumcised there has to be SOME problems with foreskins, yes?
