Did it used to be a common practice for all male babies to be circumcised regardless...

...of their religion? From what I understand, it became a common practice in the 70s through 90s for all male babies to be circumcised for sanitary purposes regardless of their parents' religion. My ex-boyfriend's parents were agnostic, and he was still circumcised. He said most guys had been. I'm a teenage girl, so I haven't really spent a lot of time in locker rooms doing any personal research on the matter, and I'm not asking out of perversion or anything. I'm just curious about how a medical procedure that had been rooted in a religious tradition became a common practice for people of all religious beliefs. From what I understand, it stopped being as routinely performed in the late 90s, and is now viewed as being barbaric and totally unnecessary.

Question for the guys: Are you, or aren't you? And how old are you, and what's your family's religion? If you'd had a choice in the matter, what would you have chosen for yourself? Does it somehow effect your sexual experience?

Question for the ladies: Does it matter to you if your sexual partner is circumcised?
