→Intactness is the new norm!: Add citation.
In the Midwest, the incidence of [[circumcision]] has declined to 75 percent, which translates to a [[genital integrity]] rate increase to 25 percent or 1 in 4 boys having an [[intact]] foreskin.<ref name="jacobson2021" /> The previous report from 2010 was one boy in five being intact,<ref name="bollinger2017" /> and before that it was 1 in 10 boys being [[intact]], so this in an increase of 250 percent (0.25/0.10 X 100 = 250%) in the rate of [[Intact| intactness]] for the Midwest. The still high incidence of circumcision in the Midwest is counterbalanced by the low incidence in the West.

[[Intactness]] had previously been shamed in the United States,<ref name="garrett2023-12-21">{{REFweb

[[Intact America]] called attention to the existence of a "tipping point", <ref>{{REFbook |last=Gladwell |first=Malcomb |init= |year=2002 |title=The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference |url=https://www.amazon.com/Tipping-Point-Little-Things-Difference/dp/0316346624?s=books |scope= |location= |publisher=Back Bay Books |pages=301 |ISBN=SBN-10 0316346624 |accessdate=2025-12-01 }}</ref> when public opinion would shift toward [[intactness]] in 2016.<ref>{{REFweb

The percentage of American boys being [[circumcised]] has been slowly but progressively declining for a long time, while the number of boys with [[intact]] [[foreskin]] has correspondingly increased.<ref name="jacobson2021" /> The percentage of [[intact]] newborn boys has exceeded the percentage of [[circumcised]] newborn boys since 2022.<ref name="yang2025" />
As the present trend continues, [[intactness]] is becoming the more usual, normal, and expected condition among newborn infant boys in America. The incidence of [[circumcision]] varies geographically so some location locations will report higher percentages [[circumcised]]. The incidence of harmful, unnecessary, nontherapeutic [[circumcision]] of newborn boys declines at the rate of 0.5 of one percentage point per year.<ref name="yang2025" />
