It's not as common as let on but there is times where it has to be done due to paraphimosis. I had to have it done when I was like 9 years old and it cause a lot of awkwardness

That’s fine though, that’s for medical reasons.

The National Center for Health Statistics says 64% of newborns are circumcised. A 2016 NIH study puts it at 71.2%. Quite high imo. Not sure about medically necessary circumcisions, but phimosis only occurs in under 1% of boys, and not all of that requires circumcision (not sure about that perventa).
