This may sound like a strange question but I am trying to see if there are any patterns out there. I have a strange theory and testing it would be rather problematic in real life, which is obvious due to lack of anonymity. The question is this - are you circumcised and what is your marital status.

Just wondering why you think lack of anonymity is an issue - is circ'd versus intact something to be embarrassed about? Also, I'm sure there are MANY medical studies you could consult...even including marital status.

I am not sure. I guess it could be a rather personal question and I would not be comfortable asking everyone I know. Besides, there is a greater audience here either way. As for the studies, I tried to research with these parameters but haven't been successful.

So, what is this strange theory? Does it include age, culture and religious preferences?

Lets say, men in the US ages 23 and up. No other religious or social considerations.

Very slow poll turn out so far

You forgot an option,those of us who got circumcised later in life. I did due to a medical problem, my wife didnt think it was a big deal.

well, there are other things that can make up for this...

I got it done because my family was Jewish, but since I was born in 1978, I'd have probably gotten it anyways.

My wife and I are considering children and I'm conflicted. If we have a boy, do I really want to circumcise our children. Religion no longer plays a roll in my life, so I won't even take that into consideration.

It is mutilation. Only an adult should be able to consent,
