I would venture a guess that, and I'm speaking in VERY general terms here, a circumcised male is that way due to the conservative, traditional Judeo-Christian values of his parents or at least his community, and would have a tendency to be raised with those values and even if having sex outside a traditional marriage, would be more prone to do so in a more monogamistic or longer term relationship.

Granted the study indicates that circumcised males are less likely to be infected when exposed, but it would be my surmise that on the whole, in this day and age, the circumcised male is less likely to be exposed in the first place.

All of my parents hippie friends were circumicised, all my younger wild friends were circumcised.

That doesn't make a difference in my social sphere to be honest.

The only guys I've ever known of who weren't circumcised were ALL europeans.

their attitude was that we Americans are barbaric to cut anyone.

Id loved to throw this new research in their faces

In fact Im faxing this story to my cousins in Ireland, Wales and France.

Circumcision has been pretty routine in the U.S. for several decades until very recently. And combined with the fact that circumcision has also been shown to reduce HPV transmission, I doubt the "less likely to be exposed" theory holds water.
