Does circumcision effect size?!

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

1) Circumcision technically makes the penis slightly smaller in girth (think about it, you are cutting off 15 square inches of skin), however the difference is size ends up being virtually unnoticeable. Circumcision doesn't affect length, unless you count foreskin as part of the length (which most people don't).

2) Yes Asians on average have a slightly smaller penis size (by 1 inch) than whites, while blacks have a slightly larger average penis size (by half an inch) than whites. These are small differences and only represent "averages". There are plenty of exceptions to the rule and it doesn't mean that just because a guy is Asian that his penis is automatically going to be smaller.

3) Height does NOT affect penis size at all. Penis size is purely genetic and the result of heredity (which is why the average penis size in the different races is different). Height is also affected by heredity, but ultimately determined by how big your bones grow. There is no "bone" in the penis so it's size is not necessarily going to be proportional to the other body parts that correspond to bone structure. Tall guys have have a large or small penis and short guys can also have a large or small penis (and I have the pictures to prove it).

Circumcision (especially infant circumcision) can reduce size slightly.
-A tight circumcision means there isn't enough skin to accommodate an erection. This leads to the constriction of the erection. Basically, there isn't enough skin to allow it to fully expand.
-Circumcision does some vascular damage to the penis
-It removes part of the penis! The foreskin is a double-layer of skin that especially makes a penis slightly thicker.


And men of all ethnicities have an average erect penis size of 5.5 inches. So no it's not true that Asian men are smaller, or that black men are larger.

And height has no affect on penis size whatsoever.

Yes, circumcision diminishes the size of the penis.

The foreskin is not separate from the penis---it is a normal and integral part of the penis, and an adult foreskin is an average of fifteen square inches of tissue---(it's a double layer).
Amputating the foreskin removes that much tissue, and when you remove material from any object, that object is smaller.

In addition, infant circumcision slightly stunts normal penile growth and development because of the insult and trauma to the tissues of the penis.


Circumcision is a fraud and a hoax.

A foreskin is not a birth defect; it is a birthright.

I am not sure about being taller has anything to do with penis size. Circumcision does not really matter. I have just got mine done and I am twenty. I have not noticed any difference. Don’t let them get to you. As for 7”, that is fine. I know that most people say, “ I have a big penis.” They just say that to make them feel better about themselves. The average size of a mans penis is five to nine inches, don’t let anyone fool you. Most people as a matter of a fact are not circumcised. So don’t worry about it.

There is some research that suggests that the trauma done from circumcision can affect size later on slightly.

The average penis size actually doesn't vary very much over race or ethnicity. Average is about the same world wide.

No, penis size has nothing to do with height. The people you go to school with are highly uneducated and have no clue what they are talking about.

first off getting circumsized does not effect the length. It only removes the skin around the head of the penis. and your height does not have anything to do with it either. what makes a difference in sex is not the size or how you use it it is the love that 2 people have for one another that makes it great

Actually there may be some validity to the idea that a tight circumcision will not allow the penis its full growth potential. So maybe.

Asians on average have smaller penises than other ethnicities but not always.

Genetics affect penis size, doesn't matter how tall or short you are.

cutting off the foreskin (circumcision) can't make a penis bigger.
7' is for Guiness Record book but if you meant 7 INCHES it's fine.
I don't know if height affect penis size but I think if it does, it is minimal.

being cut does not effect the size of your penis at all

height and race will not effect the size ether (well i don't think it does)

cut at 18 and it is still the same size 6.5 inches

No, circumcision has no effect on penis length or girth.

No, I think if you have big feet they assume you have a big penis.

lol

7" is good

Circumcision defiantly effects penis size for many reasons. With out the expansive tissue the penis is pushes into the body. The foreskin add girth during erection.

What is the foreskin? is a question that many Americans would have trouble answering. Information about the foreskin is virtually absent during discussions of anatomy in biology classrooms, and yet, the foreskin provides a well-documeted set of crucial sensory, protective, immunological, hygienic, and sexual functions. The foreskin is a double fold of skin that is twice as big as its appearance. It can make up to 80% or more of the penile skin covering, and includes around 12-20 square inches of skin (the size of a 3x4 or a 4x5 index card!), and in turn includes a specialized sheet of dartos muscle(42,44). One of the functions of this mobile skin system is to glide up and down the shaft of the penis in order to facilitate non-abrasive stimulation during sexual activity without any need for artificial lubricant. This frictionless gliding mechanism is the principal source of stimulation for the intact penis and facilitates non-abrasive intercourse.

The neuro-anatomy of the penis has been rigorously studied by respected anatomists of all kinds. The component tissues that comprise the foreskin are richly innervated with the greatest quantity and variety of sensory nerve endings than any other part of the penis.(43,44,45,46,47,48,49,50,51) Many people are surprised to discover that the glans or “head” of the penis is actually the least sensitive part.(44,50,51)

To no surprise, this information was corroborated in a 2006 study which measured the sensitivity of all the parts of the penis. Researchers used an extremely sensitive pressure sensing probe while each test subject, whose view was blocked with a screen, reported a sensation of touch. To demonstrate precision they took each measurement multiple times. The results were statistically consistent. They concluded:

"Five locations on the uncircumcised penis that are routinely removed at circumcision were more sensitive than the most sensitive location on the circumcised penis[...] The glans in the circumcised male is less sensitive to fine-touch pressure than the glans of the uncircumcised male[...]The most sensitive location on the circumcised penis is the circumcision scar on the ventral surface [...] When compared to the most sensitive area of the circumcised penis, several locations on the uncircumcised penis that are missing from the circumcised penis were significantly more sensitive."(51)

i. Circumcision is all about hygiene.

ii. The Asian thing is all so stupid a legend.

iii. Height and penis size correlation? Not necessary, believe me... there is no correlation proven on this issue. You may search for it, and will find ''none''.
