<blockquote> | |||
Our results reinforce the relevance of Cold and Taylor’s 11 1999 conclu- | |||
sions (p. 42), which now seem more pertinent than ever: “The prepuce | |||
is a specialized, specific erogenous tissue in both males and females. | |||
Therefore, surgical excision should be restricted to lesions that are | |||
unresponsive to medical therapy. . . Preputial plasty should be consid- | |||
ered in place of circumcision whenever possible, so as to preserve | |||
the corpuscular sensory receptors, dartos muscle, penile mucosa and | |||
complete function of the penis. . . Although a Fourcroy grade 1 female | |||
circumcision would excise less tissue than in a male, this compari- | |||
son cannot be used to justify female circumcision. Excision of normal, | |||
erogenous genital tissue from healthy male or female children cannot | |||
be condoned, as the histology confirms that the external genitalia are | |||
specialized sensory tissues. . . Removal of normal genital anatomy in | |||
children and infants should be deferred until the individual can make an | |||
informed decision. If external genital tissue must be excised to combat | |||
a disease process that threatens the child’s health, and is unresponsive | |||
o medical therapy, then the amount of tissue should be limited so as to | |||
preserve the anatomy and function of the external genitalia.”<reF> {{REFjournal | |||

Circumcision was popularized in English-speaking nations in the nineteenth century. The practice of non-therapeutic circumcision of boys now has greatly declined in [[Australia]], [[Canada]], [[New Zealand]] and the [[United Kingdom]]. It has been gradually declining since 1980 in the [[United States]]. It has ''never'' been a popular practice in other western nations. Circumcision of boys is not done in the Russian Federation, Latin America, or [[China]]. In [[India]] only the minority Muslim population does circumcision of children. In Europe it is only done for religious reasons by Muslims and Jews. | Circumcision was popularized in English-speaking nations in the nineteenth century.
