US Map[edit]
The original data is only on a region by region basis. Showing state lines is misleading and implies that there is state level data. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tchen510 (talk • contribs) 02:02, 5 July 2018 (UTC)
Where did all these "new" results come from?[edit]
As far as I know after doing research on various cultures, the rates for some countries seem totally false. It seems the sources are from interviews from a small portion of patients. Circumcision is almost completely unknown in mexico and mexican porn almost always has uncircumcised actors, so I highly doubt the rate is "15%" as one source says. The stats for Colombia, UK and China also seem a bit high. The sources seem very biased. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.193.128.162 (talk) 16:55, 11 November 2018 (UTC)
Hong Kong[edit]
His article contradicts the "28%" stats on this site. How would such a small portion be nearly 30% in just six years? Seems a bit quick to jump that high considering at this time only around 11% of adults had the surgery performed. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/23223650/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.193.128.162 (talk) 17:02, 11 November 2018 (UTC) Apparently this is the source of the "28%", it's regarding men who have sex with prostitutes, not the whole population. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/22080385/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1004:B038:97D1:AC07:C5EF:3D5:F85B (talk) 17:09, 11 November 2018 (UTC)
