Does Circumcision Affect Male Organ Sensitivity? There are lots of reasons people are talking about circumcision these days, and it’s no wonder. What was once considered par for the course (strangely enough, however, there are more uncut than cut men in the world), is now being widely questioned as a form of member mutilation. Aesthetics and culture aside, is there reason to believe that circumcision affects male organ sensitivity? A new study out of Canada may have found the answer. The Prepuce Let’s start this off with a discussion of the star of the show, the prepuce. It is part of the member and made of sensitive tissue. Now, removing the prepuce would logically result in losing some sensitivity because of the tissue loss. The prepuce also covers the glans, or the head, of the member, which is thought to be the most sensitive spot. By protecting it from the elements, the prepuce makes any subsequent stimulation that more intense since it doesn’t experience the day-to-day stimulation by underwear, trousers, and other pursuits. The feeling it most robs the man of is the sensation of rolling the prepuce back and forth over the head of the member during intimacy. Removing the prepuce takes the possibility of that pleasure away, as well as the pleasure that prepuce-specific nerve endings produce. The Circumcision Study The researchers led by Jennifer Bossio enlisted 62 men, of whom 30 were circumcised, and 32 were intact. Participants were from 18 to 37 years old, which means that older men were not involved in this study because data show that manhood sensitivity begins to drop off at age 40. Participants were also pre-selected as being sensual dysfunction free. There are a few problems with the study. The major issue is the size. The size is small, to begin with, but add in the impact that the measuring devices used for the study needed more than 200 participants to give accurate www.man1health.com
