Does circumcision have any disadvantages?

Question

They say men who're circumcised have reduced drive, is that true?

Answer 1

PLEASE DO NOT LISTEN TO THE CHICK ABOVE!!!

Anatomically, the penis and vagina are complementary parts. Let me give a quick-enough rundown.

The glands or "head" has as many nerves in it as the clitoris. The penis is supposed to be as sensitive as the clit. In fact in fetal development the penis grows from the clit. Next, realize the importance of the clitoral hood in females (for protection)....

Penile foreskin is a sheath = Zero exposure until sexual activity

...super sensitivity, which leads to 100% erection. and only a 100% erection can give a vaginal orgasm...

Penile foreskin has the mucosca layer = head lubrication
Penile forskin has the mucosca layer = vaginal lubrication

...same substance...

Penile foreskin is a glove = Zero (0) friction during intercourse

Imagine a turtle's head moving in and out of its shell. is the shell moving? No! there is no skin rubbing, only stimulation

Penile foreskin is a seal = traps vaginal lubrication (because its not moving)

This girl (and others) would have you remove it to be aesthetically pleasing, inevitably causing her own lack of satisfaction and comfort with sex.

I was circumcised.

Answer 2

The only way in which circumcision may affect sex drive is that circumcised men and their female partners enjoy sex a lot more than when the man is uncircumcised, so they will both want to do it more often. Circumcision is very beneficial and circumcised men enjoy better hygiene, freedom from smegma and smell, better comfort, improved appearance of the penis to women, increased self-esteem and both they and their female partners enjoy FAR better sexual sensation during intercourse. Do not listen to those who tell you that circumcision is "Mutilation" and that it "Reduces sensitivity" - that's rubbish and those who tell you these things are either young inexperienced women, who cannot possibly know, or they are uncircumcised men who equally don't know! Mature, sexually experienced women much prefer circumcised men and there's no doubt about that.The benefits of circumcision are overwhelming and there are no disadvantages to being circumcised.

Answer 3

Being circumcised or not will not affect your sex-drive or libido. You'll still want sex just as much as before.

Now it can be debated that the men lose some sensitivity in the head of their penis, but personally, I think the hygeine aspect outweighs that tiny extra bit of pleasure. Plus, most girls enjoy circumcised guys, so they'll be more likely to give you pleasure- thus making up for any small loss of sensitivity :)

Answer 4

Basically the penis's glands are exposed so you get more sensitive. But as time goes on it starts to get a sort of lining to keep the penis from being as sensitive and then maybe you will become less sensitive than before and would require "rougher" foreplay, intercourse, masturbation whatever.

Answer 5

YES PLS LISTEN TO THE CHICK ABOVE

If you want to GO FOT IT!!!!!

Well as someone who was circumcized at age 28 - the answer is NO!!!!!

You will not lose any drive

Benefits are

No smegma {hot day I'd get a buildup of smegma}

No smell {I used to get smells only 1/2 an hour after washing underneath my foreskin}

Enjoy both handjobs & headjobs more as my penis head isn't moist from sensitivity.

My ex girlfriend thought I felt bigger we only reasoned this coz of the less skin

My ex & I had both been reluctant that I be circed coz all the males in both families had their foreskins

My ex AFTER I was circed definitely gave me oral a LOT more.

My EX said if she ever had sons they WOULD be circumcised.

I can now pee straight without the foreskin get in the way.

I now have NO pubes between the foreskin making me play with myself.

I have more intense orgasms much to MY surprise.

Oh yeah afterwards it didn't hurt THAT badly. I had sex approx 5 weeks later after the op.

My only regret was not getting it done tighter as there is a bit of loose skin on the side.

My only other regret is not getting it done earlier.

Look I didn't get my son circed coz 90% of Australian boys are not done nowdays but if I lived in Canada, the U.S, Middle East, Korea or Israel he certainly would've got done. I think the locker rom argument is an important one. I remembered I once got teased at primary school for NOT being circed as 90% WERE circumcised in the 60's & 70's.

If my son wants to get circed as he is older then I'll encourage him.

As I said earlier I only got circed reluctantly for medical reasons and if I had've read the anti -circ CRAP on the net there is no way I would've been done coz I wouldn't have known better.

I've written on this subject so many times coz I am totally against the scaremongering that goes on from the Anti -circ movement. It is rubbish. Male Circumcision is NOT mutilation unlike Female circumcision.

To all the males who've hung up's Re: mutilation - GET OVER IT being circed ain't THAT BAD in fact it has mostly benefits - enjoy your circumcized penis. our parents in making their decisions were only doing what they thought was best for you. So get over it & get a life.

To all the people who've got their foreskins if YOU WANT to be circumcised GO FOR IT - In my experience there has been NO downside. Hey I am NOT going to preach to you if you are happy with your foreskin - then certainly keep it. Why chop off something you are happy with????? Even I was pretty happy but due to an infection I HAD to be circed.

Now I've been circumcised for over ten years I personally think I prefer it being circed.

so that is my answer from someone who has experience of both ways

Answer 6

There is always the chance of infection when you get it. The penis tip is also slightly less sensitive.

Answer 7

No, probably not. Please get it done. Uncircumcised one look so unappetizing, lol. ^_^ Plus, you'll never know until you find out right? Of course, you'll never be able to go back...

It's your personal decision! Good luck! ;-)
