Research indicates that 69% of Australian-born men are circumcised (Richters et al 2006). Routine circumcision in Australia decreased in the
1970s – 1980s (Wirth 1986) due to inconclusive myths such as alleged differences in sexual satisfaction and psychological impact. Today, it is
a popular procedure amongst well-informed parents, and backed by positive research results. Sexual function is not adversely affected by
circumcision. On the contrary, published evidence shows that circumcised men have a wider variety of sexual activity, and women prefer
circumcised men, mainly because of better genital hygiene.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO) estimates about one-fifth to a third of men worldwide has been circumcised, mostly for
religious and cultural reasons. This varies from country to country. About 60 % of American males, 20% of British and Canadian males and
10% of Australian males are circumcised.
The
World
Health
Organization
has
estimated
that
664
million
males
aged
15
and
over
are
circumcised,
with
approximately
70%
of
these
being
Muslim.
The
majority
of
circumcision
is
in
the
Muslim
world
within
parts
of
Asia,
Africa,
the
United
States,
the
Philippines,
Israel,
and
South Korea.
It
is
somewhat
uncommon
in
Europe,
Latin
America,
parts
of
Southern
Africa,
and
most
of
Asia
and
Oceania.
Commonness
is
near-universal
in the Middle East and Central Asia.
The World Health Organization approximation for male circumcision in Australia is 58.7% and estimates prevalence in the United States at
75%.
