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.

History

Geoffrey T. Falk, when still a graduate student, used his technical knowledge to create the Circumcision Information and Resource Pages (CIRP), while Marilyn Fayre Milos, R. N., created a website for the National Organization of Circumcision Information Resource Centers (NOCIRC). George C. Denniston, M.D. M.P.H., created a website for Doctors Opposing Circumcision (DOC).

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.

United States

The United States has the highest incidence of medically-unnecessary, non-therapeutic child circumcision, so it has the most intensive efforts to reform the practice.

National Organization of Circumcision Information Resource Centers

The National Organization of Circumcision Information Resource Centers was organized in 1985.
