In the Midwest, the incidence of circumcision had 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" /> so this in an increase of 25 percent in the rate of intactness for the Midwest. | In the Midwest, the incidence of circumcision had 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" /> so this in an increase of 25 percent in the rate of intactness for the Midwest. | ||
==Parity== | |||
The percentage of American boys being circumcised has been slowly declining for a long time, while the number of boys with [[intact]] [[foreskin]] has correspondingly increased. A state of parity has now been reached where the number of [[intact]] boys is about equal to the number of circumcised boys. | |||
As the present trend continues, it is expected that being [[intact]] will shortly become the more usual, normal condition for young boys in America. | |||
