New research is suggesting the circumcision, that common surgery that a lot of men get when they’re far too young to remember, where the penile foreskin is  moved back to expose the tip of the penis in a different way, can actually have a great effect on the sensitivity of the penis.  What does this mean exactly?  Well, you guessed it, it means sexual sensitivity, meaning men may get less stimulation from touch on the penis because the foreskin was removed than men who did not have the circumcision, whose foreskin is still intact and receives greater natural sexual enhancement and stimulation. 

The new study, as with many studies that are conducted a second time around on the same or similar subject matter, actually refutes an earlier study on male circumcision that suggests that the foreskin remaining intact does not provide great sexual enhancement, sensitivity and pleasure related to touching the penis and sensations that men feel when they are sexually aroused. 

Here’s the real kicker, when the test subjects penisese were poked and prodded with touching devices by researchers, it was found that the most consistently touchy and sensitive, and therefore most receptive to sexual touch, were the areas that are removed by the circumcision surgery in young boys.  I told you it was a kicker!

For men who were circumcised in the study, it was found that the most sensitive areas of their penis tended to be related to the location of the circumcision scar.  Hmm, even more interesting!  It’s too bad, because circumcision may provide some sort of hygiene, but this even in itself is currently being refuted by some top experts on the subject and male anatomy, saying that the idea circumcision is a health issue is hogwash, and that it does not make men any more or less susceptible to penis health issues. 

This is all very interesting, and maybe it will make you think twice about circumcising your male infant if you have one.  It’s always good to read up on this kind of stuff, we all know there are always two sides to every story.
