Why do some parents choose not to circumcise their son?

17 pages and no one mentioned the circumcision episode of Sex and the City "Old Dogs, New Dicks" from Season 2?!

Male Circumcision Around The World


https://brilliantmaps.com/male-circumcision/

The map above shows male circumcision prevalence by country, according to sources from the Circumcision Reference and Commentary Service. It shows what percentage of males (of all ages) have been circumcised.

The World Health Organization estimates that roughly 30% of males worldwide have been circumcised, 2/3rds of whom are Muslim.

This can be seen very clearly in the map above, where Muslim majority countries are all in dark blue (prevalence above 90%). According to the data set used for the map, Afghanistan has the highest prevalence of male circumcision at 99.7%. At the other end of spectrum there are 40 countries with estimated prevalence below 0.1%.

The practice is relatively rare outside of Jewish and Muslim populations throughout Europe, India, East Asia, and Latin America.
