Circumcision Just Keeps Getting Better!!!

At a guess, I'd suggest his reasons for such an assumption are due to all those medical reports saying that it does, coupled with a healthy measure of common sense.

What's your assumption founded on?

At a guess, because the sensitive parts of the penis are situated mostly on its glans, and during intercourse I believe the foreskin is somewhat pulled back making it pretty much irrelevant for pleasure. Of course the glans stays intact so I don't see why circumcision would reduce its sensitivity.

Circumnavicision?

Try going without shoes. Within a few weeks, the skin on the soles of your feet will have thickened, toughened and become far less sensitive. That's what your skin does. It protects itself. The fingertips of my left hand are much the same due to playing guitar.

Circumcision causes exactly the same thing, as the glans skin dries out, thickens and desensitises due to friction against clothes.

I wonder does this only affect pleasure before orgasm or does it have any effect on the intensity of orgasm? Have there been any studies done on this?

Then do basic research. You're removing MANY nerve endings (IIRC, the foreskin is the part of the body that is the MOST dense with nerve endings). On top of that, you're removing a protective sheath from constant rubbing and contact with the clothing. Circumcised penises develop a thicker layer of skin which dullen the sensitivity.

There's ample medical and anecdotal evidence of this.

FWIW I've found that cut men tend to be a little less sensitive than uncut.

Sometimes this is a good thing. They can usually go longer so I get a bite at the apple. But in the situations where I want him to have fun, this can be a bit frustrating. I'll play the orchestra for a good while and never quite reach the crescendo.

What AC said. I'd gladly sacrifice 30% of my own sensitivity if it'd mean being able to last 2-3 times as long, which is better for both me and the ladyfriend. Any day of the week. I'd imagine that's somewhat less of an issue for a gay couple, but who knows, maybe duration matters as much for posterior prostate stimulation as it does for females in the... anterior

That aside, the nerve endings in the foreskin have nothing to do with the orgasm which is derived from peristalsis around the prostate/vas deferens area. Since circumcision impairs only shaft friction and not the orgasm, that's all the more reason why it's a worthwhile tradeoff in exchange for duration.

[Asher]

The "last as long" stuff is bull****. It's a mental thing, you can last as long as you want if you know how to do it.

The "last as long" stuff is bull****.

Not to be insenstive Asher (no pun intended), but I can't help but think your opinion on this is somewhat skewed by your experiences. As a purely physiological matter even... "posterior prostate stimulation" tends to lead to only some friction and potentially a single orgasm, not the multiple earth-shattering orgasms females can experience in the... "anterior" if - and that's a big if - her man can last long enough to pull it off. Therefore it's absolutely the foremost sexual factor in a heterosexual relationship, unless the guy's a selfish pr*ck (dammit, that wasn't a pun either, I swear) and/or the gal has no other alternatives, both of which are admittedly common.

It's a mental thing, you can last as long as you want if you know how to do it.

The "mind over matter" stuff is bull****. Since you've been so fixated thus far on the effect removal of shaft nerve endings has on sexual pleasure, you should be equally aware of the role that shaft nerve endings have in inducing ejaculation. The more sensitive you are to friction, the more difficult it becomes for the conscious mind to overcome that almost reflexive inducement. Of course some men can learn to control it better than others, but that doesn't change the simple physiology of inverse relationship between sensitivity and control. It's such common sense that I can barely believe I have to say it.

Edit: for example, if there is no inverse relationship, then how do you explain the personal experience and common knowledge that it's easier to control with a condom than without, with two condoms than with one, and so on?

Try learning some technique.

[Darius871]

Try learning some technique.

I have, but unfortunately that has absolutely nothing to do with my point, as I've already noted.

Let me make this very simple:

1) Suppose X has terrible technique and can last only 2 minutes, even though he tries for at least 5.

2) Suppose Y has good technique and can last 30 minutes, even though he tries for at least 40.

3) Now suppose the shaft sensitivity of both X and Y is decreased by 50%.

Are you and Asher seriously suggesting that #3 would affect X's duration, but not Y's? More likely both would last longer than they otherwise would, which is my only point about circumcision. Since even a population of people with 100% perfect technique would still get better duration from lower sensitivity in the aggregate, technique is totally irrelevant.

[Darius871]

Another obvious example would be an individual with good technique still having a difference in duration depending on whether or not he wears a condom. How can this be logically explained absent an inverse relationship between sensitivity and duration?

[Docfeelgood]

OMG! you guys need to learn some anatomy and physiology.

I am not even going to go into how dumb what most of you are stating as fact is just all speculation.

If you know this little about your own male anatomy and physiology makes me wonder how little you know about a womens.
