Can Circumcision Scar the Penis, Causing Loss of Sensation?
Circumcision has certainly been a hot topic to discuss since it became the status quo for infant boys in the past thirty or so years, perhaps even more. It was started as sort of a hygienic procedure so that men would not have to worry about pulling the foreskin of the penis, something all boys are born with, back when they are cleansing it, and as a preventive measure for men against STD’s and the spreading of STD’s since it was thought the foreskin of the penis could spread disease more easily since germs, bacteria, and even viruses could sort of hide away in this fold of skin longer than they could on the smooth surface of a circumcised penis.
There has been much debate about whether circumcision is actually of benefit or not when it comes to both hygiene and the spread of STD’s for men. Some say that it does not make a lick of difference when it comes to the spread of certain sexually transmitted diseases whether a man is circumcised or not, and some say that it may make all the difference whether he spread disease to his partners because his penis is uncircumcised. Some fall in the middle and say it’s pretty much the same whether you are or are not.
So, it’s really basically left up to the parents of boy babies whether they want their children circumcised or not, so for most men the decision is made for them. For some, it is a personal decision when they get older if their parents chose not to have the child circumcised for personal beliefs and convictions or for religious reasons, for example.
When these boys become men or become old enough to make their own decisions, sometims they choose to go ahead with an adult circumcision, which of course is much more painful, and there is a higher degree of risk when it comes to whether the full grown male penis may suffer a loss of sensation to to abrasion of the tip of the penis, where sensitivity and feeling is it’s most heightened.
Adult males who are not circumcised may make the choice to get “snipped” because they do believe it is more hygienic, and sometimes they will even do it simply because they feel self conscious whenever they disrobe in front of a woman since this is not the norm per today’s standards by most people’s thought process. Women are pretty open to it though, and although when they see their first one in person they may not know exactly what to expect, they still nonetheless are not too taken aback.
