Florida, California, New York, and New Mexico — all states without gay marriage! — are among Amerca’s foreskinniest states, according to Manhunt.net users who list their scalpel status. Not far behind: Massachusetts, Washington D.C., and Texas, while Iowa, Delaware, and Wisconsin, and Michigan are the states with the least amount of coverage.

@Tallskin: 100% Co-Sign….I did Europe recently (literally :-p). I am used to almost all hispanic guys here in the US I have met being of the uncut variety. It was a real shock that while sampling the local goods in Eurpoe I saw blond haired blue eyed boys who somehow ducked the black and decker pecker wrecker………

I’m Hispanic, and I’m cut. While I agree to some extent with PlaysWellWithOthers, I’ve found that whether or not a fellow Hispanic man is uncut depends very heavily on an intersection of childhood religious affiliation and socioeconomic status.

UGH I hate Uncuttys, Know I know what states to avoid.

@Stephen: What’s hooter than a cut and handsome Hispanic man? I ask you, is that not male nudity at it’s finest?

The reason it’s predominantly white American men who are circumcised is that circumcision never occurred among gentiles until the Victorian era in England. In those days the English thought that circumcision would prevent “unnatural” sexual deviance such as masturbation. Although English in origin, the practice translated easily from Victorian culture to English-speaking white American culture, which tended to share the same religious values. The rest of Europe and the majority of Christian cultures, including Latin America, simply never adopted the practice.
Oh boy
States with high Latin American immigration. Not surprising.

@BenR:
The reason why the US became largely uncut is because of WW I. Soldiers were getting infections because of the poor hygiene conditions.
Well when the soldiers got back, they wanted their boys to look like them so…they had it done to them.
SO, as far as the US is concerned, it had nothing to do with religion or suppressing sex…but believe it or not, hygiene.
I’ll tell you this much, boy did it save straight folks here from the AIDS epidemic.

There’s nothing more beautiful or mouthwatering than a natural penis. I live in Tennessee and consider myself very, very lucky to have married an uncircumcised man who was born and raised in the same state. Here’s a pic of him:

@Stephen: I’m Hispanic, and uncut, parents Roman Catholic and pretty well-off. What exactly is your point about religion and class?
Marcus
I’m an uncut white male in one of those light blue states. My grandfather was born in Europe and the lack of precedent kept me intact I guess. I’ve been a little self conscious over it ever since I saw a Sex and the City in which all the women freaked out over one (and those broads got around too) but I was happy to find out when I came out that there seems to be an audience for it. I always refer to it as a slingback since it rests below the dick head. Too much information? Probably.
gregnsf
@Black Pegasus: It’s a cultural taboo for some. Even though it is the NATURAL state.
I’m sure there are lots of heterosexual men in the Middle East and North Africa who are sickened by the sight of a woman who hasn’t had her clitoris cut out too. Anothre cultural thing.
sebastian
I can never understand why circumcision is so popular amongst white guys in the States. It’s a form of mutilation. Unless you have a horrendously tight foreskin, you don’t need to have it removed.
Nick Farben
The USA is one of the few developed countries where circumcision is pervasive. Circumcision is rare in Europe, Latin America, Asia and Australia. Countries like Spain & Denmark are only 1~2% circumcised.
Circumcision is common in some African countries (e.g. Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria) and religious or conservative countries (e.g. Philippines, South Korea, Iran)
The opinion of circumcision is very low in many developed countries because there has been no evidence that it helps inhibit the spread of STI’s and HIV there, and the risk involved in the medical procedure are unjustifiable.
Take this quote from BBC Health’s website for instance:
“In the UK, routine circumcision isn’t thought to be medically necessary. This is because the risks associated with having a surgical procedure that involves a general anaesthetic and the possible postoperative complications outweigh any possible medical benefits.” – Dr Rob Hicks
As for preferences, people will tend to go with what they know, so it’s not surprising that most Caucasian Americans (90% cut) prefer a cut penis. If you went over to Europe, Australia, Brazil, etc, you’d be a minority.
Adrian
it’s amazing how a little skin can get people talking. I’m going to bring up this topic at the next house party I attend.
Thanks Queerty and Manhunt.
Stephen
You’re assuming a lot just from the statement I made, 7. It’s actually Protestant Hispanics that tend to be cut, and Roman Catholic ones that I think are less likely to be so.
But yes, the more money your parents have, the more likely they are to aspire to some middle-class bourgeois ideal of what a boy should be – i.e. circumcised. There will be exceptions, as in your case, but these are broad tendencies that are very noticeable.
Mr. Enemabag Jones
I read an article in the eighties wherein a doctor, who “specialized” in circumcisions, stated that he had many immigrants come to him looking for circucisions, because they beleived that getting one automatically made you a legal citizen of the USA. Sadly, he didn’t discourage this inaccuracy.
DCBoy
I can never understand why circumcision is so popular amongst white guys in the States
@sebastian:
Its not a question of popularity among white guys but of popularity by their parents.
Blaine Ward
What’s all this shit of attacking someone just because he perfers cut or uncut? Grow up! So what if one guy prefers cut and naother guy prefers uncut? It’s their own personal taste and their own damn business! I prefer cut. So what??!! It ain’t gonna stop the world from going round and round! Geez!
Jeffree
This is worth saying, but may seem o.b.v.i.o.u.s: Those of us who got c’sized had no choice in the matter. Sad.fact is that the parents of many of us guys who got “cut” didn’t realize they didnt have to say “yes”.
Time was then that if the doctor said do “X”, it happened. There was’nt time to discuss.
Wes B
I almost had myself cut at age 19. I was tired of being one of the only two people I knew that were uncut. I didn’t go through with the operation for various reasons not under my control. I later found a person in MS that was uncut and who introduced me to others in the area. It helped me deal with the issue. After moving to the Atlanta area, I have met a few others who have been helpful in learning to love the fact that I am uncut. It may seem a bit weird, but it takes some men almost a lifetime to understand the benefits of having foreskin and to learn it is a thing of natural beauty.
jeff r
@ Stephen. I’m a Miamian and I disagree with your premise. I know a number of Protestant/non-Roman Catholic men who are intact. I also know a large number of professional, wealthy, educated, sophisticate, assimilated Hispanics/Latins whose sons have remained intact. I don’t think that said “broad tendancies” are that broad or that noticeable. At least not in Miami. I cannot speak for other regions of the country where Hispanics/Latins remain discriminated against, exploited and unappreciated. I also think that No.7 didn’t misinterpret your initial statement. The clear implication, imo, was that the better educated a Hispanic/Latin man was, the more likely that he would be circumsised. Not necessarily the case in Miami.
I’ve been told by various doctors that the reason that many of the Hispanic/Latin men who are not intact were circumcised is due in large part to the fact that circumcision was standard operating procedure in most hospitals for years, including Miami. I also understand that now most if not all insurance companies are now treating the procedure as an elective and not subsidizing the same so that the practice is slowly becoming less popular. I do know a few people who are a bit “bourgeois” and pretentious and opted for circumcision based upon the same. Unfortunately I believe that most U.S. parents have never really intelligently considered the alternative when their sons are subjected to genital mutilation. If the human body is one of Nature’s works of art, why is circumcision so blithely administered without informed consent?!?
To those who prefer circumcised men, great. Life is all about diversity, no? To each his own. Let’s not get childish about it.
I do find it a bit hypocritical that so many are appalled by female circumcision – rightly so, in my opinion – and yet blithely ignore male circumcision. What’s good for the goose should be good for the gander, no? Wouldn’t it be wiser to allow young men to decide the issue for themselves when they reach the age of consent. This seems to be the case for other elective surgeries: implants, etc. Is foreskin a birth defect? I don’t think so. If it is, then every male is born defective.
In terms of alleged hygenic issues, I’ve never been hygenically challenged in any encounters with an intact guy nor have any of my other numerous friends. There have been far more instances of encountering hygenically challenged women than men in the workplace, social gatherings, etc. Just sayin/
@Toby. I would hope that those who avoided serio-converting did so because they used condoms and practiced safe sex. Your comment is incredibly insipid.
Best,
Jeff R

That was a bit rambling, Jeff R. You may be right that Miami has a different profile in this respect, but I still stand by my earlier comment – my experiences in both Texas and California seem to validate it.

All those that hate the uncut man-get used to it! There is an influx of Latins from South America through and up to Mexico coming into the U.S.A., the culture of not circumcising will become the norm. 95% of Latin men are uncircumcised (their financial class and religion doesn’t matter). A large majority of women will have had their mouths on an uncut cheesey penis and will eventually french kiss the haters, so you will have had a taste of an uncut man! Ha Ha.

That’s really a shame too. It’s taken me years of positive reinforcement to convince my husband that his foreskin is not something he should be ashamed of or embarrassed about. It shouldn’t be that way, especially in today’s culture.

@sebastian: Also, the foreskin has, like, 4x more sexual nerve endings than the head of the penis; but, when it’s removed, a callused tissue covers the glans reducing one’s pleasure by about 90% which continues throughout a man’s life! WHY, may I ask, isn’t anyone telling new parents-to-be this? Hell, I have actually told some str8 women, and they look at me off, only to say, “Oh, no way! That *can’t* be true!”
Incidentally, I have encountered in my years an awful LOT of white uncut men in Iowa…most of my lovers have all been uncut, or partially circed.
Ryan Martin
@Nick Farben: The World Health Organization (WHO; 2007), the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS; 2007), and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC; 2008) all agree that male circumcision greatly reduces the risk of becoming infected with HIV by men, at least during penile/vaginal sex. Numerous other studies show it also cuts the rate of penile cancer significantly. There’s a reason the ancient Hebrews did it.
Hugh7
@56 – Ryan Martin. This is called the fallacy of Appeal to Authority. WHO, UNAIDS and the CDC have been sadly misled in this case, by some people with a barrow to push – or should that be, an axe to grind? The non-blinded, non-placebo-controlled studies claiming protection against AIDs ignore a number of important factors. Other studies show it INcreases the risk of transmission from men to women.
Penile cancer is so rare it’s hard to get good statistics, rarer than male breast cancer, rarer in non-cutting Denmark than the US. More than 1000 circumcisions would be wasted to protect one man against it.
If there is a reason the ancient Hebrews did it, it was certainly not to protect against AIDS or penile cancer (most ancient Hebrews died long before they had any chance of contracting that old man’s disease) and the risks of tribal circumcision are much greater.
TampaZeke
@Ryan Martin: Then perhaps you can explain why America has higher rates of EVERY STD, AIDS AND penile cancer than ANY European country.
You’re pointing to studies that were done with the intention of proving their premise.
Common sense and a casual look at STD, AIDS and penile cancer rates in America and Europe show your claims to be bogus.
By the way, penile cancer kills about 8 people in America every year. Honestly, look it up. And it’s VERY likely that most of the 8 were circumcised.
chris
honestly, I’m a gay man with an uncut penis. It’s bad enough that I didn’t choose to be gay BUT I definitely did not choose to be uncut either. Everyone I talk to tells me how disgusting it is to be uncut and honestly it makes me stray away from relationships because if I should get intimate with a partner, I don’t want to disappoint them because of it. Like it may not seem like a big deal to those that are cut, but to me and probably many others who aren’t cut in the us, it can really suck. On top of that, I feel like gay men in general can be pickier in the physicality of their partners and it’s a lot harder to find a gay man (for me anyways…) who can look at an uncut penis and not be disappointed.
MMDD
@chris: Chris,
First of all, it’s a GOOD thing that you’re gay, and it’s a GOOD thing that you’re uncut. Yes, some gay men tend to be overly picky and shallow, but those are not the kind of guys you’d want to date in the first place. Believe me, there are plenty gay guys out there (like me!) who PREFER an uncut man over a cut man. Be proud of the fact that you are a NATURAL man. That alone is very attractive. Anyone who makes you feel otherwise isn’t worth the time of day.
And for all those people who are telling you how “disgusting” it is to be uncut, do some research and show them that they are wrong. Sounds like they need some serious education anyway.
Brad
@chris: awwwwwwwwwwww I’m so sorry you have to deal with shitheads like that. I am cut and I happen to hate it. Hate it so much I went into a deep depression. I would say don’t ever do it. It is an ignorant and stupid procedure. I happen to have a preference for intact men. As a bi guy I have never had attraction to cut cocks and believe me I have tried. So really its nothing to be ashamed of. I feel bad that you have had to deal with such bullshit.
Chris
Well, I may have been a tad melodramatic when I posted my first post, but honestly, I read online that Hugh Hefner, Elvis, Pierce Brosnan,Daniel Radcliffe, and Robert Pattinson, several Kennedy’s, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and Pope John Paul II were all uncut, so I guess my penis follows in great footsteps.

Mutilation is the cutting/removal of a healthy part of the body. Circumcision falls under that, does it not?
John
wait, why would that be shocking? Europe knows better.
Only America, Korea and the Philippines do it for non-religious reasons and in America it’s down to around 50% nationwide and falling.
John
@Brad: Dude! I read your post like I wrote it. Uncut rules and it’s the norm in the world. Circumcision is borne of ignorance. Even so, we shouldn’t knock the cut guys, because it’s almost never their fault (can you imagine choosing to get cut? LOL). They should know better than to repeat the process though.
ReCovered
The attitudes expressed here that are against intact penises are largely due to arrogant male attitudes. Most men do not want to admit that there is something wrong with them, especially when it has to do with their perceived center of their manhood: Their penis. They go on saying that it’s fine and that they evenlike it better. But they know no different. Conformity has entrenched these false make stereotypes into some sort of normalcy when, in fact, nothing can be more normal than intactness. Remember; We lie best when we lie to ourselves.

I agree Stephen this is true not only for Hispanics born in the USA,but Hispanics born in Latin America.Social class would affect a man’s circumcision status.In those countries in North America:Mexico,Guatemala and El Salvador; closest to the USA most of upper class males are circumcised.
As far a those Hispanics born in the USA I would say that those born prior to 1980s,a lot of parents had no chice in teh matter and were routinarly circumcised like all others:white,black,or Chinese.So I would say 50/50 or 40/60 for them? Now after th3 90 it seems that male circumcision rates in the Western USA have decresed because parents are having more choices and for many not just Hispanics,but Asians,Native AMericans,etc it is not part of their culture
Alex
Hi Guys wouldn’t logically Miami be the city in the USA with the most foreskins? It seems like a boatload of foreskins comes in everyday.

Hello is this map taking in account all living males in that state? cause I know that for example among whites in some some states like Washington state it is a recnt phenomena not to cut.Most men in their 40s are cut.
So is this map including babies being born today which I would be too old to have sex with by the time they grow up and men in geriatric care born prior to 1930 when circumciison was not the norm? cause I think most men born in the USA between 1940 and 1990 are circumcised? correct me if I am wrong.

First ,I do not think as far a Christianity religion has to do with it ,among white Americans I have met as many uncircumcised All-American Baptist/protestant hillbillies as I have Roman Catholics Irish American,Italian Americans in the Northeast who are circumcised.
As far as social class,I think this would be more prevalent in Latin America itself and yes in Miami it would be the norm to be uncut cause there is an influx of newcomers everyday ,but Miami is not the American norm,even if its in the USA I consider its ties to Latin Ameircan.As far as second generations hispanics in Texas,the Southwest and California there are like 50/50 cut and uncut.Yes Hispanics in California coming today do not have the pressure to circumcise and in many of these staes Medicare coverage was dropped so it is not routinarly anymore and about New Mexico apart from the hispanics ,aren’there a lot of Indians/Native Americans there? Do they circumcise or not?
Alex
As far as men feeling uncomfortable being the minority in their state ,I would say Man,pack your bags and move to the Sunbelt! There are plenty of cuts and uncuts that will suck your uncut weiner there.Plus the warm climate is a bonus.
and a question having New York state and Illinois in dark blue,would this only apply to New York City and Chicago.I doubt Upste New York has the same circumciison rates as New York City.New York City has many more uncut immigrants ans sons of immigrants than Upstae would?

FrankieJr
Currently living in California from Michigan. I’m cut and a Filipino descent. Most in my family are on the medical field and yes I admit i feel not uncomfortable with uncut men. Philippines has very high percentage of circumcised men (very rare that you could find someone that’s uncut), some may interpret this as a religious thing but most treat this as a “Male Hygiene”. It is the presence of “SMEGMA” that attracts bacteria many times over as compared to circumcised guys, no matter how frequent you wash it. There was a even a history that the first recorded HIV+ people were uncircumcised, these statements came from a medical journal. Some women also complaints it, “the smell” after sex.
Uncircumcised men can be a butt of joke in the Philippines. Its even worst than being gay…by the way Philippines is a gay friendly nation. Some may say “He is Wearing a Helmet”…meaning uncut. Because of a skin covering the penis head.
Rood
Thanks to more and more highly concerned, intelligent American mothers (and a few strong, forceful fathers), male genital mutilation is fast fading as a procedure for which anyone would forcibly subject innocent infants. Helpless infants never, ever give informed consent, supposedly a rule before beginning genital mutilation. Infants rather announce their feelings about being subjected to knives and cruel, crushing instruments by screaming in pain, by throwing up, by going into shock, and, in some cases, by bleeding to death. The whole business is a sign of how terribly depraved Americans have become during the past sixty years.
Anyway … not wanting to be characterized in terms redolent of the violence of genital mutilation, whole, thinking men say they are INTACT.
Hmmm...
I just encountered one for the first time, I found it very odd.

@ MMDD @Hmmm… instead of one of the 70+ percent of men in the world lucky enough to still have all they were born with. Without making any other comparison, I imagine African and Middle Eastern strayt men encountering their first intact woman – does anyone object to saying “intact” woman? – react the same way.
Prejudice against normal, natural, whole genitals is just about the last prejudice still freely encouraged in US media.

To all the americans that are uncut here, if someone has a problem with it, tell them to shut up and suck it already.
Honestly, if someone doesnt want your dick because it’s uncut, then they’re not even worth your time. 🙂
I know it’s a whole “Why do you care?” arguement, but my brain just goes “Why would you even do that to your penis?!”.
But why are Americans so easy on letting a man with a scalpel cut off a piece of your childs penis?

map makes sense .doen’t take a rocket scientist to figure this one out if you know where the immigrants and their first generation sons live:West and Urban centers.
Speaking of,wonder if they did not count Miami in Florida,Chicago in Illinois and NYC in New York State what color those states would look? would go down to look more like there neighboring states in the light blue with less than 10 to 15% uncircumcised.
Hugh7
Serge: the wild variations just underline the irrationality of the whole thing. Even within Chicago, there is huge variation depending on which hospital you have the good or bad luck to be born in. A guy demonstrates regularly outside the University of Chicago Hospital because of its abnormally high circumcision rate. He’s become a bit of a local identity as “Foreskin Guy”, but people who stop and talk to him find he talks a great deal of sense. He has a dramatic T-shirt: http://www.cafepress.com/intactivism.397734879
abeaustin
Boy there are so many misconceptions here. Being uncut is hot. Honestly I also like both and I am uncut. Also hygiene has to do with individuals not about being cut or uncut. Also AIDS is more about practices, alot of people are circumcised in the US and it has a very high rate.
