===Survey of the prepuce and circumcision in Canada===
Abara (2017) surveyed the prepuce and circumcision in Canada. He reported "most Canadian newborn males are likely to live out their lives with an intact prepuce." He had nothing to say about the sexual and psychological burdens posed by circumcision. In all provinces and territories, only a minority of boys are being [[circumcised]].<ref>{{REFjournal

[[Circumcised]] males are found mostly in older age groups.
