  1. Circ rate is down because parents are educating themselves

    Circumcision to prevent STDs does not make sense. Circumcised men still have to use a condom every time, just like intact (uncircumcised) men.

    Before any parent chooses (or pays for) circumcision, they should definitely do their homework and really understand what circumcision entails (watch a video of a circumcision on-line), and they should study the functions and purpose of the foreskin (it's important to human sexuality). Parents in Britain, Canada, and Australia have already abandoned circumcision, and in America more and more parents are choosing to leave their sons intact, as the CDC numbers show.
