The Effect of Circumcision on Sexuality

"Speaking as a Cavalier, I'm flummoxed by one proposition of the anti-snipping crowd: that circumcision "reduces sensitivity." Well, thank God I had it trimmed back, then; if the serpent were any more easily provoked, I'd have to spend my days wearing a hoop skirt.

"They say taking the skin causes a decrease in sensitivity…I don't think I could stand much more sensitivity. I'd pass out."

I'm a 30 year old circumsised male and I have no problem with sensitivity. In fact I have the complete opposite - it takes all my willpower not to become too aroused!

"I’m sensitive enough without my foreskin. I shudder to think of how much less control I would have with it."

...being circumcised myself, if sex had felt any better when I was in college, I might have gotten myself arrested.

I brought up the issue with my (circumcised) husband because in case we have a boy several years from now I don't want to be arguing about this in the delivery room. He did not find my points against male circumcision very convincing. (Maybe that's his experience - I don't know if he could stand being any *more* sensitive. The head of the penis, in our experience is super sensitive even if circumcision has taken place.)

I'm a 55 year old cut man and the head of my penis is so sensitive that if it were any more sensitive I would loose my load upon entry.

... studies show that being circumcised takes away nerves that increase the pleasure? Well if that's the case I dont want them because if I felt any more pleasure, then the sex wouldnt only last 5 mins.

Fine, but if I had much more sensation, I'd probably be ejaculating in my pants.

... only one of the (somewhere-in-the-low-double-digits) partners I've had has been uncircumcised, and let's just say that they all seemed plenty sensitive to me. (A couple were a little too sensitive for the situation, ifyouknowhatimean.)

So it's more sensative 'with',? but who needs that? It's hard enough holding back with a hot chick as it is. Haha.

I must confess, every time I hear about how much sensation and pleasure my circumcised penis is missing out on I can't help but wonder why MORE would be a desirable objective. I'm afraid it would simply make for an all too ephemeral enterprise.

... if it were any more sensitive, I'd have two spare pairs of boxers in the truck lest I get the "come hither" look at intersections or I have to scratch it. ...

...i am circumcised, i last about 21 seconds in bed. the thought of having thousands of additional nerve endings makes me think id technically be a virgin forever.

on the sensitivity issue the debate is laughable.if we were any more sensitive we would be raping females all day and all night.trust jewish boys when they say they feel far too much sensitivity.

I'll pass on the sensitivity thing. Last thing i need is to go from the 10 minute wonder to the 5 minute wonder.

i had someone explain to me how uncircumcised people experience more pleasure which made me think: how much more pleasure do we need? I have no complaints right now....if anything I think it would be too much to handle.

"But it decreases pleasure with sex!" Good. Sex is physically pleasurable enough. I have more of a problem with coming too quick than too slow.

...to be honest, about the last thing I want is to be MORE sensitive in that area, resulting in even shorter lovemaking time.

I don't know about other males, but I sure as hell have enough sensitivity and can't imagine wanting anymore.

I am 37, circumsized as well and I sure as hell have enough sensitivity at times it is painful. I couldn't imagine being even more. Sex would be a 30 sec ordeal everytime.

I have enough trouble staying the course as it is. If it felt any better, I'd last about 3 seconds.

So, I tend to think that seriously dramatic overreactions to having been routinely circumcised are unwarranted. I mean, if I were any more sensitive, I’d be coming right now, and who wants that?

My husband is so glad he doesnt have his foreskin. He actually wants to be able to please me in bed and even with out all those extra 20,000 nerve endings he still climaxes before me every time. He wishes he could be even less sensitive so he could hold out long enough for me to climax.

Any female who uses the argument that it removes nerve endings has no idea. I am a circumcised male and I think I have enough nerves in that spot, anymore and I couldn't handle it. lol

I honestly felt like If I could get anymore sensitive down there...it would probably be painful.

... I am circumcised and I am certainly not disappointed in any way. I won't go into details but my wife has no trouble driving me completely crazy. If it was any more intense I wouldn't be able to stand it.

Well, I am circumcised, and damn glad for it, cause as it is now I am way too sensitive. Not that the sensitivity is a bad thing...it's just a bit too much to handle.

find it hard to believe it can get any more sensitive than it already is (circumcised). Might never stop hyperventilating and eyes never roll back to normal position if it was.

I always like the statement that being circumcised reduces pleasure. I'm circumcised and if I enjoyed it any more than I already do, I'd never last long enough for my wife to ever reach orgasm...

@Adrian I am a helmet guy and I have never had a problem with sensitivity. If anything my problem was the other way, I get aroused far too easily. ...

Playing with my dick feels pretty fucking fantastic and it has no extra skin over it. If it felt any better i would last all of 5 seconds. I am completely fine with being circumcised. I will ride my cut dick all the way to hell!

My first body modification. 20,000 nerve endings severed? I'm cut & sensitive as hell. If I wasn't cut, I'd orgasm with every step under that theory.

I already got trouble lasting long in good p*ssy, I don't need any more pleasure

I am circumcised. If I had more sexual pleasure than I already have I might have problems with premature ejaculation. And I might not be able to last as long, thus depriving my partner of as much pleasure.

To all those people saying it's WAY more sensitive and better to have an uncircumsized penis... here is my arguement:

I am circumcised and love sex. It feels fantastic. I don't really wish for any more sensation, because it's overwhelming at times as it is. I feel like if it were any more sensitive, I would just immediately cum, and wouldn't be able to 'stay in the game'.

So thank you parents for circumcising me; I am now able to adequately service ladies without prematurely ejaculating.

You mean its even better that what I have? I don't believe you. I would definitely suffer from premature ejaculation. Then my partners would be unsatisfied - still who cares about them? Not some people obviously.

One man drove by and yelled, “If I had any more sensation I’d only last 5 seconds!”

if i had anymore sensation i dont think i would last more than 20secs... i love my circumcision, really sets my junk apart from the others.

"He says it reduces penis sensitivity"
Yeah, more sensitivity. That's JUST what I need.

You have NO CLUE what you are talking about. ... less "feeling"...haha, well my husband sure doesn't need any more. ...

... I'm thankful I'm not 75% more sensitive. I would never have a clean pair of pants, and would be embarrassed to go out in public for fear of the wind blowing.

... You said that there is no sensation. That my penis is a "numbed dildo". Which is false. If anything, I have a problem with too much sensation leading to ejaculation earlier than I would like. ...

Interesting. All the same: meh. I can't imagine my cock being more sensitive, or what I'd gain by it being so; I'm really quite sensitive as it is. Rather not cut my hang-time down from the 38 seconds it is.

Lol. I get outstanding pleasure during sexual acts. I wouldn't want it to be anymore sensitive than it already is.

I can say without reservation the last thing I need is a more feeling in that area. Men should worry more about other things, we already have virtually bottomless capacity for inordinate obsession with all things fornication.

Had I not been clipped, I'd have been institutionalized in a home for the sexually insane shortly after puberty.

... trust me, I know how sensitive I am. Any more sensitive and I'd be useless in bed lmfao

Saying it causes Loss of sensitive is a crock of shit, if i was any more sensitive it would be all over before i get it out

I'm circumcised and am perfectly happy that way. I certainly wouldn't want any more sensitivity to the area, or I wouldn't be able to stand it. It is far too sensitive as it is.

Les W Dewar on Global News, April 16, 2016

I am cut. My penis is has always been crazy sensitive. So if it does reduce sensitivity it must be minimal. In fact most young males try to concentrate on making their penis less sensitive, to increase time of sex before climaxing. I am 36 it's still pretty dang sensitive....

Dominic Remaro on the Huffington Post, April 21, 2016

No issues here with my circumcision. Anymore nerve endings and I would have an premature issues. To each his/her own.

Andrew Hattway on the Huffington Post, April 21, 2016

I'm circumcised. Plenty of sensation going on right where it needs to be. In fact, trying to imagine having more sensation leads me to believe I'd be a worse lover, as premature climax would probably become an issue.

Nicholas Thieme on Fatherly, April 22, 2016

I do know that my thing works just fine without it and, if anything, if I had it and was thus "more sensitive" I'm fairly sure my perfomrance would be far worse, since I'm no three hour champ as it is...sadly....

Garry Lav on the Huffington Post, April 22, 2016

If I had way more sensation I would've cum in two seconds every time before I was 30. Thanks circumcision. You gave me a chance to halfway please a woman!! ...

I would hv asked to be circfumcised a million times, I am still sensitive, matter of fact am over senstive..

- Lucci Mo on Facebook, August 10, 2016

S____ M_____, you said "Male circumcision leads to reduced sensitivity of the male penis......". Geez, I'd hate to see how quickly I'd finish if I hadn't been circumcised!! Wake up, FGM and Male Circumcision are worlds apart. If they cut boys balls off - then it would be comparable.

- Chris Murray on Facebook, August 19, 2016

Well damn, I don't know why my husband can have an orgasm in 5-10 mins with his circumcised penis. It must feel amazing because he has a hard time going any longer, although he wish he could!

- Marcy Maltese on Beanz Donahue's Facebook page, September 30, 2016

Circumcision does not reduce size or sensation. All the circumcised guys I know worry about TOO much sensation if you know what I mean
