How can you tell if you were circumcised or not by looking at your penis?

Question

I do see a scar ring around my penis, and I have no foreskin covering the head of my penis.

I was born in 1987.

Was circumcision very common in the United States in the 1980's?

Answer 1

It indeed sounds like you were circumcised. Circumcision in the US reached its high in the 60s and 70s, with almost 90% of infants circumcised. But it started to decline towards the end of the 70s and is still slowly declining. By the late 80s, I think it fell to around 70-80% nationally, so it was still really common (especially so in the Midwest). Today the circumcision rate is just under 60% (with rates being higher/lower depending on the state).

Answer 2

It does sound like you were circumcised, and, yes. that was very common in the US in 1987. The rate started to fall sometime in the mid-1990s, possibly because more information for parentsn was made available on the Internet, and it is still falling.Unfortunately for you, you were born at a time when it was done routinely and most parents didn't think to ask the doctor whether it was necessary.

Answer 3

If there is no foreskin then you have been circumcisied. Usually if you have not been the skin will cover the head of the penis.

Answer 4

Answer 5

Answer 8

Answer 9
