Not sure anyone posted this (or something similar):
2003 Canadian rates for circumcision.
http://www.cirp.org/library/statistics/Canada/
Overall for canada only 11.46% of boys were circumcised in 2003....88+% left intact. IN 96/97 only 17% were circumcised.
Certainly any worries about a boy being born in canada the last 10 years looking around a locker room and being the only kid without an exposed helmet and getting nicknamed "snuffaluffagus" is completely unfounded. It'll be the other way around...the circumcised kids will be the ones wondering why the heck they look different.
The Canadian Paediatric Society strongly recommends that circumcision of newborns should not be routinely performed. They have a literature review.

And by coincidence this weeks' Savage Love
I am a 22-year-old female and I've been with my 21-year-old boyfriend for two years. I love him a lot and our sex life is great. But I have one issue: He isn't circumcised. It weirded me out at first because I had never fooled around with a guy who was uncircumcised, but I came to terms with it because I loved him. It has recently started to bother me again because it makes giving him head more difficult and a little more unpleasant.
I mentioned it to him once a few months ago at a bad time and he became defensive. Is it wrong for me to ask him to get circumcised?
Cut It Please
So you asked your boyfriend to cut off a chunk of his **** and he reacted defensively. No ****? Really? But, hey, you brought the subject up at a "bad time," so maybe that was the problem... or maybe there's just no good time to tell someone that his genitals disgust you and that you want him to have an important, nerve-packed chunk sliced off.
Sorry, CIP, but just as it would be wrong for a man to ask his big-clitted or big-lipped girlfriend to have her genitals mutilated for his comfort, it's wrong for you to ask your boyfriend to do the same.
