What feels better for a male, Being Circumcised or Not?

Question

I'm Asking because my husband is aways complaining! I'm not trying to be obscene or anything. Please if you don't understand or know of this subject do not post or read. I'm just inquiring because I would like to know from people and/or thier experiences, In order to find out the truth. I heard that being circumcised takes away about 80% of the male genitals nerves but I also heard if you are not that the skin gets in the way of intercourse. So I'm not sure what's better or what's more logical?

Answer 1

I can answer that, a recent study showed no difference in sensation, though other studies have found uncircumcised men suffer more sexual dysfunction.

Answer 2

This is rubbish. I am fed up with people moaning about lack of sensitivity, Just make sure you wear the correct underwear if you are circumcised. Having the head rub on boxer shorts will make it unsensitive. Runners get rubbed nipples unless they tape their nipples on long marathons. CHeese grater beach shorts with the horrible polyester lining with holes are terrible, this is why many boys in Australia where pants underneath these. The facts is that any rubbing on any part of the body will make it sore and unsensitive. I prefer nice, tight, thongs, briefs, and for sports, a jockstrap - pooey to the people who say jockstraps are out. I was circumcised twice ( as they didn't do it very well the first time ) and say that my sexual stamina is better and orgasms are much more powerful, longer lasting and I tend now to give a full load. The whole of the penis is now much more receptive rather than the little bundle of nerve endings where it used to be. It is also much cleaner, I no longer get smegma and can always be assured any woman will find my penis fresh and fragrant. There is a lot of BS talked about circumcision, all I can say is have it done when you are 20 and then see what a change it makes to your sex life. To those with rubbed, keratinised penises, I say change your underwear, and use virgin olive oil when masturbating or having sex, your head will then regain its suppleness. I was circumcised at 25 in 1991 and then again to correct a bad scar in 2005 and the result is now visually excellent, nice tight shaft when erect, beautiful flared glans, and no cheese. They gave me painkillers and due to be a non smoker I was very quick healing. I did not play with my penis nor masturbate for 6 weeks, but the first time after 6 weeks it just blew my mind. I last longer, and masturbation takes around 45 minutes now. Kinda fun !

Answer 3

i'm not a guy, but from being in the 4 year relationship i was in, and him not being "cut" and then to the year relationship now, i don't think theres really a difference.. and i remember hearing the only reason they "cut" them is because that skin over laps the "head" of his thing when it's not hard, and it can get infected because theres no air getting to it and you know how things like that happen with sweating and then having sexual things and it not getting dried off.. so i'm guessing thats the main reason why.. i dont' think it's a medical thing, unless they dont' take care of it and it does get badly infected and they have to cut it off... that would suck.. i dont' think the feelings any different, the timing isn't different then a guy that has been "cut"... but thats just my opinion.. good luck! have a great weekend..

In humans, the outside of the foreskin is like the skin on the shaft of the penis but the inner foreskin is a mucous membrane like the inside of the eyelid or the mouth. Like the eyelid, the foreskin is free to move. Smooth muscle fibres keep it close to the glans but make it highly elastic. At the end of foreskin there is a band of tissue called the ridged band which, according to one study, is rich in nerve endings called Meissner's corpuscles. The foreskin is attached to the glans with a frenulum which helps retract the foreskin over the glans.

In children, the foreskin covers the glans completely but in adults this need not be so. Schöberlein found that about 50% of young men had full coverage of the glans, 42% had partial coverage, and in the remaining 8%, the glans was uncovered. After adjusting for circumcision, he stated that in 4% of the young men the foreskin had spontaneously atrophied (shrunk).

Answer 4

Well I don't remember life before my circumcision because I got circumsized when I was a baby. I have no problems whatsoever with the nerves and if this is having 80% less, then god damn, I can only imagine what it would be like not to be circumsized!
I am happy that I had it done because I think it is healthier!

Answer 5

as i have only ever been circumcised i cant comment on both sides --- i also dont know that there would many sexually active males that have been circumcised AFTER puberty ---- i do not believe that all the nerve endings have been lost --- if what i experience is 80% then i am glad im circumcised

i dont believe that uncircumcised would have excess skin either --- we have been designed that way --- im grateful as i believe it is MUCH easier to keep infection free and easier to clean than uncircumcised

Answer 6

Circumcision is the removal of the foreskin, which is the skin that covers the tip of the penis. In the United States, it is often done before a new baby leaves the hospital. There are medical benefits and risks to circumcision. Possible benefits include a lower risk of urinary tract infections, penile cancer and sexually transmitted diseases. The risks include pain and a low risk of bleeding or infection. These risks are higher for older babies, boys and men.

As a woman I wouldn't date a man who wasn't circumcised because there's too much worrying about if he's properly cleaning the skin like's supposed to especially if he's been sexually active with multiple sex partners before meeting me.It doesn't affect sensitivity to the males penis if done while they're still young,preferably a baby.Many sexually active men circumcised in adulthood report a significant decrease in sexual pleasure and comfort because of the loss of sensitive nerve endings, skin mobility and natural lubrication.

Hope this helped a little!!! :)

Answer 7

In my own personal opinion, uncircumcised is nicer looking. They both feel the same to me as a woman, and i don't think that it differs much for the man. Ok, maybe circumcision is more clean naturally, but i'm not going to get rid of my kitchen cause i can't be assed cleaning it. Thats just laziness

Answer 8

i am 25 and have recently had a circumcision and i can honestly say it was the best thing i could have done. it is cleaner, healthier and much more pleasurable having sex. as for losing 80% of the nerve endings, dont believe it, mine is as it was before just with out that useless bit of skin at the end.

i found my foreskin was too tight and sometimes made sex painful, which is why i got rid of mine.

if he is considering having it done, i would recommend it, but i must warn you that the recovery can be very painful. my surgeon told me i could go back to work the next day, he was sooo wrong, i was off for 3 weeks.

overall, well worth it.

Answer 9

i was circumcised when i was ten and it was the most painful thing i will ever experience ever. imagine have a football hit you right in the balls and multiply that pain by ten and you won't ever get near how painful it was. i had it done for medical reasons because i had so much foreskin i had difficulty peeing and i would have probably died if i hadn't had it done so i prefer it circumcised because i am alive

Answer 10

It is suppose to feel much better with a foreskin. There are even operation available that try to re-grow it post circumcision.

It terms of what is better or more logical I suppose yo have to concider that all men are born with it so there must be some biological reason that we evolved to have it. I have never had any problems with it during intercourse. In fact it feels quite nice.

Answer 11

I am very lucky to have been circumcised very young under a general anaesthetic, and even so I can still remember it.

Being circumcised is incredibly painful. I'd have to say, given the options "Do you want to be cuircumcised" and "Do you want to be not circumcised", I'd go with "not".
