“Circumcision rates in America are dropping as more parents and doctors learn of the physical consequences of male genital mutilation (MGM).

Famously promoted by Dr. Kellogg (of cereal fame) as a masturbation preventive, routine infant circumcision (RIC) is still widely practiced in the USA despite its lack of recommendation by any national medical organization. Circumcision is the subject of a number of widespread myths and misconceptions, including the false “uncircumcised penises are hard to clean” myth. Less well-known are the reasons against circumcising.”
