However, this meta-analysis looked at studies of women's preferences, and there have apparently been quite a few of them, mostly including cultures in which male circumcision (MC) is NOT the norm. This meta-analysis put together the results of 29 studies: https://academic.oup.com/smoa/article/7/2/145/6956488 "... Cultural differences in preference were evident among some of the studies examined. Nevertheless, a preference for a circumcised penis was seen in most populations regardless of the frequency of MC in the study setting... Women’s preferences generally favor the circumcised penis for sexual activity, hygiene, and lower risk of infection. The findings add to the already well-established health benefits favoring MC and provide important sociosexual information on an issue of widespread interest...". A substantial proportion of uncircumcised MSM indicated a hypothetical willingness for circumcision uptake in the event that HIV transmission risk would be mitigated. The inquiry was posed given that noncircumcision is considered to inflate the relative odds of transmission. Circumcision willingness may depend on subsequently accessible protective factors but openness to trade off foreskin for personal and collective health is notable. Some may had also caught an eyeful of some of the daunting wellness-dismissive trolls, you know, those with the stated entitlement, troll-dolled up as preference, to compromise short- and longterm health for the sake of a developmentally immaturely constructed arousal boost. Cue the pathetic boos and hisses. Losers are as losers do. Otherwise, it is true that there are no data that depict any particular trend related to MSM partner selectivity based on circumcision status. Quote
