Every society that practices FGM also circumcises their boys. For a given culture, the methods and conditions are the same. Tribes in the middle of nowhere in Africa that cut girls with dirty glass do the same to boy's foreskin. Wealthier Muslim countries such as Egypt and Malaysia have both done in a hospital by doctors. FGM is not always done to prevent women from having sex, nor is it always done in a heinous and barbaric way.

For example, last year a doctor in Michigan was acquitted of cutting several young girls belonging to the Dawoodi Bohra sect. It was the first, and last, case of the 1996 Federal anti-FGM law. Their method (performed in a clinic) is just a tiny nick on the clitoral hood, leaving otherwise fully fuctional genitalia.
