Does circumcision make s*x less pleasureable?

Question

as a circumcised person it's not like i know the difference..

but people say that circumcision is bad (for non-religious hygienic reasons) as it causes a lack of sensation..

personally i've never witnessed such short comings in my own experience.. but how anybody know one way or another? it's not like you can get a temporary one just to see what it's like...

Answer 1

Yeah it does because firstly the f******n has nerve endings of its own and guys (and their partners, often) can feel it slide up and down, also the glans is more sensitive because it's usually covered by the f******n. Sorry you were circumcised.

Answer 2

Logic and common sense says Yes.

The f******n's purpose is to protect the head of the p***s, keeping it soft and moist. Without it, the head is permanently exposed to air degradation and rubbing against underwear, making it become keratinized.

The f******n itself contains several thousand nerve receptors, many more than the head, and is itself an important rolling mechanism which aids and enhances s*x and masturbation.

Of course the trouble is that men circumcised as babies can never know the feeling of a natural intact p***s and therefore cannot compare; while those circumcised as adults will inevitably defend their decision to save face and claim there is no loss of sensitivity.

edit: Studies found there is a matter of literally a few extra seconds in a circumcised man. "Staying power" is all psychological and being circumcised or not is irrelevant.

Answer 3

You are asking how does anyone know one way or another?  Why dont you ask guys that were circumcised as adults.  they have experienced s*x both ways.  With and without a f******n.  Bill gave you the right answer.  As far as it being detrimental to women. Just the opposite.  circumcised men transmit less std's, less hpv and less yeast infections to their female partners.

Join these two groups and ask them:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Inter-Circ...

http://groups.google.com/group/CIRCLIST

over 2000 members happily circumcised as adults.

Ignore the females.  The dont have a p***s.  The only thing they can tell you is their preference.

Answer 4

Yes - the glans(head) is one of the least sensitive parts of the p***s.  The f******n contains many more nerves and is one of the most sensitive parts of the p***s.  Studies show there are special touch sensitive nerves on the f******n that are stimulated as the skin moves up and down.  Also the f******n protects the glans and keeps it moist.  Once you take away the protective covering it loses it's moisture and it becomes dry.  It also makes contact with clothes and gets irritated which leads to keratinization.  This is where a layer of tough skin forms on top of the glans.  Obviously this is going to reduce sensation.

This also effects the way s*x is performed:

Answer 5

no its a myth.

Answer 6

I did f******n restoration restoring what was left (they do leave some f******n) but it's not all restorable, but what I was able to get back was great. but this came at a price, I can no longer see circumcision as cosmetic or as if it does not really matter, things that I thought were normal I only realized were problems after I restored and no longer had them, sexual enjoyment is way up. I can't imagine how much better the real thing is.

decreased sensation does not mean more staying time, it means less, less sensation require harder faster strokes, where as natural s*x needs shorter gentler strokes

Answer 7

Circumcision does not make s*x less pleasurable, and certainly I don't know how someone of the opposite s*x could speak for a man, the owner of said equipment.  I was cut at age 22, made my s*x life more pleasureable not only to me but to my partner.  Friends that I know who were cut as adults have told me they never have experienced any lack of sensation.  And maintenance is much easier and hygienic.

Answer 8

If you are circumcised at birth like me, then no (because you wouldn't ever know the difference). I'm sure masturbation is easier and feels better when you still got some skin there though.  

Answer 9

I think it depends on the way it was cut. because there's one that hits the G spot.

Answer 10

It depends on the guy and why he got circumcised.

1) Circumcision can improve sexual pleasure for a uncircumcised guy who chooses to get circumcised to correct a f******n related problem. A guy who had a tight f******n or paraphimosis probably didn't get much pleasure from s*x so if circumcision removed that problem, circumcision improved his s*x life.

2) A healthy uncircumcised guy with no f******n problems at all fill find that circumcision reduces sensitivity of the p***s. Since there is no longer any gliding motion of the f******n and the glans is desensitized, sexual pleasure is probably going to be reduced for that man.

3) An uncircumcised guy who gets circumcised because he has converted to a different religion has made the decision to put God ahead of sexual pleasure so for him, he was simply following his religion and that would be a good thing for him.

4) A guy who was circumcised at birth has never had a f******n and has nothing to compare it with, so he would never know what he was missing and shouldn't care one way or the other.

5) Everybody's body is different. Every p***s is shaped differently and responds differently to stimuli. Some guys are naturally more sensitive than others. And not all circumcisions are the same. Some doctors take off more skin than others. So it also depends a bit on the individual and the result of the surgury.

My personal opinion is that all things being equal, merely in terms of physical sensation, you are better off leaving the f******n alone, but for some people more sensation isn't necessarily a good thing so it's a matter of opinion.

Answer 11

Of course male genital mutilation, called circumcision, makes s*x less pleasureable for both men and women.      It damages the p***s and sexual sensitivity and decreases the size of the p***s, also.

In my case, when I was assaulted as an infant, tied down and mutilated against my will, the resulting damage destroyed even more of the sexual sensitivity than in the usual mutilation.

It made me unable to achieve o****m in normal s*x.     I didn't discover what the problem actually was for years, and then I found out about f******n restoration.     My libido's increased, together with sensitivity, and I never knew orgasms could be so intense--like an out-of-body experience.

In my restoration groups, there are several guys who got circumcised in their late teens, and they all concur that;

s*x with an intact f******n is a...............................10

s*x after circumcision is a..........................................

s*x after restoring the f******n...................................

This says it all.     Hygienic reasons?     What a crock.   80% of the men in the world are intact and they and their partners obviously enjoy it that way, as apparent from the birthrates in those countries.

To my knowledge, noone ever died from a f******n, but thousands have as a result of circumcision---possibly more throughout history.

In Europe, Asia, South America where they don't mutilate their males s a rule, they seem to do quite well with foreskins.     Scandinavians also wouldn't part with theirs, either.

Certainly a f******n can develop a problem, just as any other body part, but would you amputate a finger to cure a hangnail?

Female circumcision would definitely be more hygienic--portions of the clitoral hood and labia removed would provide less crevices for female smegma (yes, females produce it, too) and bacteria and odors.

You don't see women advocating mutilating female genitals, but some American women want to lop off the foreskins of just about every male.

They say,"it looks better."     Personally, I find scars to be ugly, no matter where they are on the body, but especially on the p***s.

You are circumcised, but you have no clue of the sexual feelings that you are missing because of being mutilated, but perhaps this will give you some idea of it.

Obviously a whole, normal and natural p***s feels and functions better than a scarred, mutilated and partial one----how could it be otherwise?

A f******n is not a birth defect; it is a birthright.

Infant circumcision is infant sexual abuse, assault, and a violation of the basic human right to a whole and intact body.

Those who advocate genital mutilation and perpetrate it are perverts.

Answer 12

Technically yes but I have a friend who was recently circumcised and he says its still about the same. Personally I say go for it. I really think that every man has different results.

Btw michael my friend didnt just say it to save face.
