I believe foreskin is potentially a growing sector for our economy.

Tonsillectomies were routine in the 1960s-1980s, and then fell out of favor. Now they are done very selectively.

Circumcisions seemed to follow the same pattern (like a fad). Canada and Australia are opting out unless needed to correct a problem like phimosis.

American newborn males are now clipped about 55% of the time.

It's not a major issue to me, but I wouldn't mind having mine back.

If you feel very strongly about it, there are foreskin restoration techniques, although the end result won’t be quite the same thing.

Bizarre!

Four years of wearing stretching devices? No thanks!

As I stated, "It's not a major issue to me".
