IIRC in America it was done as a supposed way to curb masterbation, and as time went on it instead stuck because nobody ever questioned it much.
People today still try to defend it with alleged hygiene and health benifits, mainly because people rarely take “your penis has somthing wrong with it” very well regardless of how kindly you phrase it.
It was connected to hygiene as infected foreskins were a common problem in WWI then it became a thing of matching the parents.
Turning to anyone and telling them they are defective/deformed is the height of classlessness. You shouldn’t be surprised when acting like an asshole isn’t well received.

isn’t this true for a heap of non Jewish American males too?
Mostly just in USA (any maybe Canada?)
America isn’t near the top, here is a map from Wikipedia:
I think the difference is that it is performed in the US even without religious background.
Usually this happens because the parents would be Jewish or Muslim.

Wow. This is the first I’ve ever heard of WW1 being referenced as a hygiene standard. Do you have a source for that?
The world war is called the world war because a ton of countries were involved and the US were the only country that had problems with foreskins?
I don’t think this is true
No the USA is the only one that reacted by widely recommending circumcision. Others had this problem and confronted it differently.

Idk I think it’s rather perfect just so.
But it has been mutilated.
Or Christian
If you look at the map the predominantly Christian regions are by far at the bottom of the list with the exception of the US and Australia.
K? They’re not zero and I know my dick is the way it is because of Christianity.
That 20-80% variance makes it look as though Australia and America have the same rates of circumcision
Yeah what a weird scale.
Researchers like, “I ain’t tryna look at Icelandic dick tho”
Did you mean Greenland? Iceland looks in the 0-20% category.
Or am I just not getting a joke…
