In general, more and more people are choosing to keep their full foreskins as they were when they were born.
Circumcision is a religious rite practiced by Jews in accordance with instructions with the Torah. The majority of people to be circumcised are Muslims and with them it is a cultural practice as there is no mention of circumcision in their holy book the Qu'ran (although it is in the hadith). There are also primitive tribes here and there throughout the world that practice it usually as a right of passage from boyhood to manhood. The practice was introduced into English speaking cultures during the Victorian era. In that time British medics came to the conclusion that masturbation was responsible for a huge variety of diseases ranging from syphilis to insanity. They also felt that by circumcising boys they would be less inclined to masturbate. The practice took off like wild fire.
In more modern times, it is still being done for religious reasons in many places. Also, the World Health Organization (WHO) encourages the practice as part of an HIV reduction plan. Recent research has shown that circumcised males are 30% less likely to become infected with HIV. Some studies done in Kenya and Uganda show a 51 to 53% HIV reduction rate. Due to this, circumcision rates are on the rise in some areas of the world, such as northern and western Africa. Some cultures also feel it should be done for more aesthetic or hygienic reasons, but those are more debatable.
Even more recent research has reveiled that the rate of HIV infection is seriously higher among those thart have beenciscumcised. the fact is that there is no health reason for circumcicion. HIV infections are controled by condom use and education there is no evidence whasoever that the intact penis is anymore likely to become infected.
In the main they are done for religious or right of passage and other cultural reasons. In English speaking cultures there is still a section of the society that is duped into believing there are benefits to health as a result of a culture begun in the British Victorian era.
