Sex Just As Hot For Circumcised Men

Posted by asflutz

I bet you thought there was no away even the most creative researchers could design a before-and-after study examining the effects of circumcision on sexual enjoyment.  After all, it's not like the volunteers would be lining up for standard study compensation:  fifty bucks and all study-related medication. 

But actually, in Uganda, where adult men are getting circumcised as a way to reduce the spread of HIV, researchers were able to ask thousands of sexually experienced men whether circumcision reduced their pleasure.  And virtually 100% reported no problems following the procedure. 

Thank God.  Or else I would have had a lot of explaining to do to my nice Jewish sons.

That study completely misses the point of the complaints as I understand them -- that a lifetime without the foreskin causes the skin that used to be covered to become less sensitive.  If you are circumsized later in life, the desensitization hasn't happened yet.

Perhaps.  But on the other end, like for the woman, there is a noticable difference. :)

Uncircumcised males are 90% or 94% of world's total male population. Circumcised males is something forbidden to show their cock due to their religion that issues taboo for their males. In fact, circumcise males is not hot for sex.
