- MYTH: Almost all men are circumcised.
- FACT: Not so much. Globally, fewer than a third of all men are circumcised [World Health Organization, 2008].. And in the USA, fewer than half of all boys born in conventional hospitals from 2006-2009 were circumcised.<ref>{{REFweb |url=http://www.nytimes.com/2010/08/17/health/research/17circ.html?_r |title=Steep drop seen in circumcisions in U.S. |last=Rabin |first=Roni |accessdate=02019-12-07}}</ref>
- MYTH: It's easier to take care of a circumcised penis.
