From WEB MD:
Feb. 2, 2004 -- Adult circumcision affects a guy's sexual performance -- but not in a bad way, according to a new study.
Circumcised men take longer to reach ejaculation, which can be viewed as "an advantage, rather than a complication," writes lead researcher Temucin Senkul, a urologist with GATA Haydarpasa Training Hospital in Istanbul, Turkey. His paper appears in the current issue of the journal Adult Urology.
Circumcision -- the surgical removal of the foreskin of the penis -- typically occurs immediately after birth or during childhood, in the Muslim and Jewish tradition. In the U.S., 77% of boys are circumcised, according to the researchers.
But what about guys who don't get circumcised as babies, who decide on circumcision when they are adults? Can it give them sexual problems they didn't have before? That's what Sekul sought to determine.
Under the Knife
In this study, Senkul enrolled 42 men -- all about 22 years old -- who had not been circumcised. All but a few wanted circumcision for religious reasons. All were heterosexual and sexually active, and none was using a medication or device to promote erections.
Before the circumcision, doctors evaluated their sexual performance by asking about sex drive, erection, ejaculation, problems, and overall satisfaction.
The men were also asked to note how long they took to reach ejaculation -- during at least three sessions of sexual intercourse.
Twelve weeks after the surgery, the men again answered detailed questions about their sex lives. They reported on how long reaching ejaculation took.
The results: Everything was working smoothly -- except ejaculation, which took "significantly longer" after circumcision.
Adult circumcision may lessen the penis' sensitivity, resulting in a delay to reach ejaculation, Senkul speculates. Or the boost to the guy's self-esteem -- since Muslims consider circumcision to be a "must of manhood" -- might cause the slow down.
"We can say with more certainty that adult circumcision does not adversely affect sexual function," writes Senkul. The increase in time to reach ejaculation "can be considered an advantage rather than a complication."
Motivation Is Key
"We see lot of adults who want to be circumcised," Chad Ritenour, MD, professor of urology at Emory University School of Medicine, tells WebMD. He agreed to comment on Senkul's study.
"I bet every patient wouldn't tell you that ejaculation time changes," he says. "Also, I don't want anyone to interpret this as a cure for premature ejaculation."
Most adult patients "are fairly motivated," Ritenour says. "I think that's one reason why we don't hear about changes in sexual function. It's not something forced on them. Motivation has a lot to do with how they do afterward."
Men who have a chronic infection -- where there's no alternative but circumcision -- likely experience the most problems afterward, he says. Bad hygiene, especially in underdeveloped countries like Africa, can lead to these serious infections and even penile cancer in uncircumcised adults.
In the U.S., however, "the major reason to get circumcised is cultural," Ritenour tells WebMD. "It's an unwritten custom that whatever the father has, so does the son. In the U.S., there is no obvious medical reason to get circumcised."
Sure, sex will feel different to a newly circumcised adult, he says. "You've just lost skin. You're used to having something there, and it's different when it's gone. That's probably why ejaculation time is different, because it feels different."

Number one -- masturbation helps overcome premature ejaculation MUCH more than regular sex. In fact, masturbating a few times a day and masturbating one hour before you begin the date that you expect to end with sex is a treatment I have heard prescribed (I am not an MD) for premature ejaculation.
Number two -- what are you calling premature ejaculation? Premature ejaculation technically means ejaculation prior to insertion. Despite all the silly rap songs, ejaculation routinely occurs within 2 minutes of the beginning of sex and less than 1 minute is not uncommon at all. Be very sure you have premature ejaculation for real BEFORE you try to treat it.
If you are young, quick ejaculation is normal, masturbating regularly will slow it down a little -- but it will not slow naturally until you age some. The older you get the slower it will become.
Of course, to be fair, I had difficulty in adjusting as my partner got slower. I did adjust, and he never knew I had problems, but I had to deal with the fact that I prefer quick ejaculation on the part of my partner once sex begins. In our 30s it has slowed down to 10 - 15 minutes or so -- and it took me several years to get used to that -- I much prefer less. Two minutes of actual sex is plenty, and means I am giving pleasure well. Though of course, the foreplay is wonderful and can last for any length of time.
Last note -- adult male circumcision increases time before ejaculation BECAUSE IT REDUCES THE PLEASURE YOU GET. If I were you, and uncircumsized, I would never consider it. There are people out there who, like me, prefer it quick, and if you have a lover who truly loves you -- he will adjust, just as I did in the other direction because I love Jonathan with my whole heart.
If you need to talk, email me.
Good luck.
Warm thoughts,

not necessary.. practising delaying ejaculation through masturbation is a common technique......you just need to learn your point of no return by slowing down or stopping before that point....the more you do it the more certain you know when....

The healthier the penis... the better it will perform. Check out a penis health creme called Man1 Man Oil. It contains Vitamins A, B5, C, D and E.. all of which are awesome for a guy's sexual health. I use it and it makes a big difference. Hope this helps and good luck.
