From those who've done it late in life, would you recommend getting circumcised?!


Question:

From those who've done it late in life, would you recommend getting circumcised?

Basically I've been thinking about getting a circumcision done, I'm in my mid-twenties.

I keep hearing about how American women find it completely unappealing and nasty to still have your foreskin, and that they enjoy it more from a guy that is circumcised.

But I have also heard that when you get circumcised, you loose feeling in your penis and sex isn't as pleasurable anymore. Then I've also heard that an uncircumcised penis feels better, according to women. Which totally contradicts what I've mentioned in the first half.

So from those guys who have gotten it done later in life, would you recommend getting a circumcision? Yes, or no, and why?


Answers:

Do not get a circumcision.

The foreskin keeps the glans soft and moist and protects it from trauma and injury. Without this protection, the glans becomes dry, calloused, and desensitized from exposure and chafing.
Specialized nerve endings in the foreskin enhance sexual pleasure.
The foreskin may have functions not yet recognized or understood.

"Circumcision removes the most sensitive parts of the penis and decreases the fine-touch pressure sensitivity of glans penis. The most sensitive regions in the uncircumcised penis are those parts ablated by circumcision. 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." Circumcision removes as much as 75% of sensation [ http://www.nocirc.org/touch-test/bju_668... ].

The foreskin reduces the force required by the penis to enter the vagina. It also increases the sexual enjoyment of the female partner. Here is a study to back this up: http://www.cirp.org/library/anatomy/ohar...


Circumcised males have a much higher rate of sexual dysfunction. [ http://www.cirp.org/library/sex_function... ]


The vast majority of the world(83%) is not circumcised.
There is no good reason to perform male genital mutilation


No medical institution in the developed world actually recommends the practice.
The following link contains the position of medical societies in English speaking countries on circumcision. Specifically British Medical Association, Royal Australasian College of Physicians, Canadian Paediatric Society, American Medical Association, American Academy of Pediatrics, Australian College of Paediatrics and Australasian Association of Paediatric Surgeons:
