ita, "Data from a national survey conducted from 1999 to 2002 found that the overall prevalence of male circumcision in the United States was 79%.[20]

91% of men born in the 1970s, and 83% of boys born in the 1980s were circumcised.[20]

An earlier survey, conducted in 1992, found a circumcision prevalence of 77% in US-born men, born from 1932–1974, including 81% of non-Hispanic White men, 65% of Black men, and 54% of Hispanic men, vs. 42% of non U.S. born men who were circumcised.[21]"

I assumed by "driving stick" ita actually meant literally driving a stick shift car.

Possibly I am naive.

Well, that would really be apples and oranges.

Still hanging in, still have power, only update is that I have red beans cooking on the stove. Mmmmm.

91% of men born in the 1970s

I'm so glad to have my impression confirmed!

I assumed by "driving stick" ita actually meant literally driving a stick shift car.

So did I. Though I did wonder if it was a metaphor for a minute.

But circumcision is far less common in Europe, (and Asia?) right? So it would also depend on where guys are from.

(20-80% is a big range, map makers.)

Yes, and among people born in the US is varies a lot by race and ethnic identity.

ita, all I meant was the post seemed random.

so myrtle beach, sc getting slammed with rain. They're on an 18 hour flood watch.

No, I mean driving a manual transmission car--is that rarer than not being circumcised? They are both minority things--is one more markedly so.

It is really weird that this is weird.

And the ethnic variance you point out, flea, is what makes the "guys I know" set even harder to define. But if I go with 80-90%, that should be as accurate as counts.

And the driving stats seem to be between 1/4 and 1/3, so driving stick does seem more common that not having a piece of your penis cut off.
