Circ rates in countries

[chekhovgirl]

Hi,

Never been in this forum before, but DS is intact due to various reasons. If we have another boy, he will be as well. I'm just trying to educate myself and am wondering which countries have a higher circ than non-circ rating? Any way to put this succinctly or is it complicated?

Thanks!

i believe the us and israel are the only nations where 50% or greater of the males are circumcised in infancy.
in many muslim cultures, people are circumcised as a right of passage as children or adolescents.
here is a world map:

but i am not sure how accurate it is.
i believe the rates in canada and australia are lower now

Secular infant circ is very uncommon outside the US.
