Statistics

post #1 of 5
Thread Starter 
I am looking for yearly US rates of circumcision NOT based on anything but numbers. I would LOVE to have the same of other countries as well, especially if they are similar to the US. I would prefer information that goes back to at least the 80's but the 60's and 70's would be great too. I want to be able to look at the trend in black and white and show it to my bf. I'm trying to get more solid information since I already know my emotional reasons not too. I also want any personal stories on "daddy looks different", "locker room argument" and anything about teenage sexual encounters (girls turning down because boy is uncirc'd type stuff).

That maybe a lot to ask but bf and I had a couple of heated arguments and we aren't even pregnant!!
