Male circumsicion?

Question

Some considerations, Which one do you prefer, ( any sexual preference could answer) C or Un C ( circumcised)

Is there any difference in terms of the smell of Both types? C and Un C?

And is there any difference in term of sexual pleasure?

Does anybody experienced any infection due to uncircumcised Penis?

Thanks In advanced

how about the theory that by circumsizing, the sensitivity of the male organ is less, therefore the enjoyment of female sexuality is increased, because the tissues is harder, which is the rubbing force is stronger.
opinion?

Answer 1

I'm uncircumcised and never had a single infection, nor does it smell if you keep it clean (takes 5 seconds once a day when you shower). Otherwise, you seem to want a lot of research links, so let me help you out. Circumcision is a traditionally Jewish and Muslim procedure, although it was introduced and encouraged to the Western, developed world as a way to stop masturbation, especially with the help of Dr. Kellogg. (see link 1) However, although scientific studies have discovered that circumcision harms masturbation by up to over 60% (2), needless to say, it doesn’t completely stop masturbation. Many circumcised guys find it more convenient to use a commercial lubricant as a result (3) since the typically moist foreskin that is like the eyelids is not present to rub the glans with (4).

Most developed nations quickly rejected circumcision after noticing its ineffectiveness against masturbation, and as a result the United States remains the last developed nation doing it to a significant percentage of newborns. (5) This was done as a result of the for-profit American health care system promoting myths about benefits of circumcision (6), such preventing penile cancer (6a, 6b), preventing HIV (6c, 6d) despite the USA being the developed nation with the highest HIV rates and circumcision rates (6e, 5), and preventing STDs (6d, 6f). As a result, circumcision is now brings in hundreds of millions of dollars to doctors and the American health system. (7)

However, circumcision has been becoming less popular as years have passed by. In the 1960s over 90% of guys were circumcised in the USA, now circumcision rates are as low as 14% in some states. (8) More and more parents are discovering that circumcision carries more risks than benefits, and realize that by leaving their sons uncircumcised, they have the choice of choosing what they’d like, since the surgery is irreversible.

Circumcision risks include the loss of sexual pleasure according to multiple studies (2, 9, 10, 11). Those studies take into effect many sensation points, including the foreskin, and they involve many participants. There have been other studies that claim no difference, but they don’t even take into effect the nerve endings on the foreskin, which as seen in one study, are some of the most sensitive points on the penis (10). One study even found an increase in erectile dysfunction rates after circumcision (10a). In another study, it was found that females ended up reaching orgasm with and preferring uncircumcised males in 9 out of 10 cases (10b). In addition, circumcision is extremely painful on newborns (12, 13, 14), and you risk many bad conditions, such as a buried penis when too much foreskin is removed and limits the size of the penis (15), or adhesions or skin bridges that develop from the head to the shaft when the skin heals after the surgery (16), meatal stenosis [occurs in up to 10% of circumcised males!] when the opening of the penis becomes irritated from too much exposure and rubbing and begins to close up (17), and meatal ulcers (18). All those risks are, of course, not including the possibility of having too much skin removed, which can cause discomfort during erections due to lack of skin to allow the penis to expand, and could consequently cause a hairy penis by pulling pubic hair and skin to the shaft. Often a circumcision scar develops around the penis after circumcision. In addition, circumcision has negative effects on breastfeeding. (18)

To conclude, here is a link that describes the anatomy of the foreskin (19) and the development of the foreskin with infants, a link especially helpful for parents (19a). Ultimately, one survey found that although uncircumcised guys are a bit more satisfied percentage-wise, it’s within the margin of error. (20) The only difference is that those unsatisfied uncircumcised guys can simply get circumcised and end up satisfied either way. In addition, in one survey it was found that up to half of circumcised guys expressed concerns on wishing to have had the choice themselves. (21) That, along with the risks and negative effects that are being seen more with the help of the Internet, may be what is bringing down circumcision rates.

Answer 2

I'm uncircumcised and I've no problems with my foreskin whatsoever. I know I prefer to be the way I am (and if I'm not happy with it, at least I have a choice and it's my choice). Preferences differ from person to person, and place to place. About 70-80% of the world's male population is uncircumcised, so you could say most people either prefer it that way or don't care.

I've never had a problem with smell. It's actually very easy to keep in check unless you're a total slob or something. Good hygiene of the area will pretty much eliminate any smell, and such hygiene is very easy (link 1).

I can't personally account for sexual pleasure, but I'm happy as is (and from what I've read, I'm not going to potentially sacrifice pleasure for vanity). There have been studies though. The foreskin contains a lot of nerve endings that're cut away in a circumcision, and these nerve endings can contribute to sexual sensitivity (links 2, 3). Also several studies seem to indicate that the foreskin may actually be beneficial to the sexual satisfaction/pleasure of not only the man, but the woman as well (links 4, 5, 6).

And I've never experienced any infections. Infections are also fairly easy to keep under control. Good hygiene helps a lot. But eating healthy and particularly eating yogurt apparently does a lot to prevent infections.

So from my experience and what I've read, as long as one's foreskin is working normally (which is true for the vast majority of guys), he maintains good genital hygiene (which is easy), and he practices safe sex (which he should anyway), it's probably better to stay uncircumcised. Most (if not all) problems involving the foreskin are preventable or very easy to treat/cure. Of course people have their preferences, and that could impact how they feel about it.

Answer 3

Circumcision in an adult removes 15 square inches (about 40 square centimetres) of sensitive skin, packed with nerves and specialised structures. That's over half the skin of the penis and a new study has proved that it includes some of the most sensitive parts of the penis. It also means that the constantly-exposed, circumcised glans gets a thicker covering and becomes less sensitive. One study showed that the loss of loose skin and sensitivity meant that the woman erperienced less pleasure too.
Smegma collects in the folds of female genitalia too and people are horrified if it is suggested that women should have folds cut away for hygiene but this argument is used by proponents of female circumcision. Normal intact male genitals are just as easily washed as intact female genitals and smell just as clean when washed regularly.
Circumcision is an unnecessary mutilation, no longer recommended by any medical organisation in the world. It adversely impacts on the pleasure of both sexes and the benifits claimed for it are much-debated and definitely outweighed by the risks. For example, even on the figures given out by circumcision proponents, you would have to do 100,000 circumcisions to prevent one case of penile cancer. Therefore the risk of serious complications (including death) is higher from having a circumcision than the tiny cancer risk from leaving the penis intact. In fact non-circumcising countries have a lower incidence of penile cancer than the circumcising USA of the near past. So cancer of the penis gives no reason at all to circumcise.
Most infections of the foreskin are uncommon and easily treated if they do occur.

Answer 4

I prefer uncut. To be honest I think people prefer what they're used to.

Smell is to do with the person! Anyone who doesn't wash will smell. It depends on the hygiene of the guy, different people have different smells...if some guy smells more uncut than he would cut, because he can't handle washing under his foreskin, then he probably also forgets to clip his toenails and brush his teeth and he's not the sort of person I'd want to be anyway.

The thing is, pleasure is so subjective anyway, there was a study I read which said women found a non-circumcised penis to be more pleasurable (this was one where they didn't know what they were dealing with) but everybody has their own experiences. Personally I like uncut.

Again, if somebody gets an infection, it's going to be because they're not taking care of themself of they've had unprotected sex, not because they've got a foreskin. (Think about it, it's there for a reason, whether you believe we were designed or evolved, do you really think there would be something that needs to be removed on every male?) There are no reliable statistics showing that you can get an infection from having a foreskin, and the studies about HIV are not very reliable (small numbers, African, etc.) but the fact is, even if it does reduce the risk of transmission to the male by a small amount, do you really want to gamble that by having unsafe sex with HIV-positive girls, just because your chance is a bit smaller?

Answer 5

I had my son circumcised in the hospital after birth and he does not have a scar. The boyfriend I had before I met my husband was from Egypt and his penis was circumcised. He is Muslim and I think they have a kind of ceremony for the circumcision(I'm not really sure though, can't really remember, long time ago). Anyways his had horrible scarring, kinda like craters all around the penis where they made the cuts. I don't know if it was done when he was a baby or older though. Besides his case I have never heard of scarring from the circumcision.

Answer 6

Allot of people say that an un cut penis is not only more sensitive for the man because of the nerve endings that are stimulated during sex but that it is too more stimulating to the woman. I watched a special on circumcision by pen and teller on bullshit and it really opened my eyes to the pros and cons of circumcision, you would be surprised to see the process done to infants, IT IS HORRIFIC! If a person is clean the penis will not smell or get infected, there are cases that say a male penis uncut is more proetcted because of the foreskin, it is there for a reason after all.

Answer 7

Regardless of what you have read above (mostly from anti-circumcision campaigners) I can tell you that circumcision brings many benefits to the man and his female partner. Circumcised men experience better hygiene, comfort, appearance, self-esteem and FAR better sexual sensation for both themselves and their female partner(s). An uncircumcised penis accumulates smegma (a white cheesy, foul smelling substance) under the foreskin and no matter how often it is washed, an uncircumcised penis always smells. I chose to be circumcised as a sexually active adult in response to my (then new) wifes strong preference for a circumcised penis. She says that she gains additional pleasure from the feeling of the naked glans rim (it's more pronounced in a circumcised man) moving inside her in both directions during sex. Also she says that the tightly stretched shaft skin slides against her clitoral area and stimulates her to orgasm, whereas an uncut foreskin just wrinkles up and stays stationary, giving no stimulation to the clitoris or labia. When she was single she did have some uncircumcised partners and she experienced repeated yeast infections, but she never experienced such infections with any of her premarital circumcised partners and she has never done so with me in the 20 years since my circumcision. She and I both believe that all men should be circumcised, for their own sake and for the women in their lives.

Answer 8

To take your last question first, the harder, dryer thrusting of a cut man is not particularly stimulating -- it's just rough and uncomfortable. There is much more subtlety with an intact penis -- he feels more and is able to respond to her better as well. The foreskin adds a lot of pleasure for both.

Smell -- no difference. Both need to keep clean. An uncut guy needs about 5 seconds a day more to clean under the foreskin. No big deal.

Sexual pleasure is greater for the uncut and their partners: http://www.healthcentral.com/drdean/408/60750.html and http://www.blackwell-synergy.com/doi/abs/10.1111/j.1464-410X.2006.06685.x

I have never experienced or heard of anyone, male or female, getting any kind of infection that could be remotely associated with the male partner's foreskin. It's a myth; don't fall for it.

Answer 9

As a natural guy myself I am proud to still have my foreskin. I have never had a problem with smell if I wash it everyday. I would think that a cut guy would also smell if he didnt wash it.
I have never had any infections because I was natural and I'm now 35yo and my 8yo son who is also natural hasn't either.
I find I have lots of pleasure during sex because the foreskin helps beacause it alows the skin on the shaft of the penis to move and not be tight like cut guys are.

Answer 10

Having been circumcised at 18 it does not decrease sexual pleasure at all! In my experience it increased sexual pleasure 100%! An uncut penis always has a smell, you can wash 3x a day and still have an odor! Personally I would never want to be uncircumcised again! Being cut only has an upside and no downside! It is cleaner Healthier, looks better and you have a much lower chance of acquiring STDs and HIV! I had both of my son's (1&3) circumcised at birth with out a thought as I have personally been on both sides and can tell you circumcised is the way to go!
