That's a lie. Americans are absolutely brainwashed on this though, because it's been touted as being beneficial and "cleaner" to have male children circumcised by the medical establishment here, or at least used to be. This is a subject that gets confused looks from even the men here that aren't educated on exactly what foreskin is and why it shouldn't be removed. I've even had a guy bring up his friend's constant yeast infections passed back and forth between their girlfriend. Something that could be easily resolved by wearing a fucking condom and keeping antifungal medication all over the tissue, and the gf actually keeping hers treated with diflucan/topical meds. I also explained how if having foreskin wasn't clean, then it would be common practice in Europe to remove it-- but it's not. It's beneficial in sex, for women too, helping to actually keep lubrication in there.

Sadly, a lot of adults here in the states just think that it's normal. You have to find openings that aren't awkward and come to them with factual information, informing that it's an unnecessary and outdated religious practice. There's also the underlying problem that medical doctors end up treating foreskin tightening with steroid creams. Steroid-based creams actually thin tissue and leave it susceptible to tearing, and provide temporary relief at best-- but it's still pushed. Then you have someone damn near begging for circumcision just to relieve them of the issue.
