Circumcision was popularized in English-speaking nationns in the nineteeth 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 1985 in the [[United States]]. It has ''never'' been a popular practice in other western nations.
Circumcision is classified as a form of [[genital mutilation]].
