Internet parental circumcision information started to become available in the late 1990s. Intactivists realized that accurate unbiased information about circumcision, the foreskin, and other matters could be presented directly to the public without being filtered through editorial bias, so they quickly moved to take advantage of this new channel of communication.

Falk, when still a graduate student (1996), used his technical knowledge to create the Circumcision Information and Resource Pages (CIRP), while Marilyn Fayre Milos, RN[a 1], created a website for the National Organization of Circumcision Information Resource Centers (NOCIRC). George C. Denniston, M.D.[a 2], M.P.H.[a 3], created a website for Doctors Opposing Circumcision (D.O.C.).
Intactivists, both in the United States and other nations, have since created additional websites, so there now is a profusion of readily available information regarding male circumcision.
Comprehensive Internet databases on the subject of circumcision are now also available.

National Organization of Circumcision Information Resource Centers
Marilyn Fayre Milos, RN[a 1], organized the National Organization of Circumcision Information Resource Centers (NOCIRC) in 1985, before the Internet was available. Information was placed in a series of leaflets that were mailed to people who requested information. Those leaflets were printed on two sides of a single sheet of letter-size paper in landscape mode. Those leaflets are available today in downloadable PDF files from which leaflets can be created by printing the two pages on opposite sides of one sheet of paper and folded into thirds to create six panels.
The text is also available in HTML files that may be viewed on the website.
Newsletters from 1991 forward through 2016 are also available.
NOCIRC's name was changed to Genital Autonomy America in 2016, but the old website remains available with information that remains accurate, useful, and helpful.

At that time DOC redesigned and updated its website. The Genital Integrity Policy was relocated to the Research Hub website where it resides today. It continues to be of interest to parents who are concerned about a son's genital integrity.
