    On a circumcised penis, it becomes dry an rougher, like the skin on your knuckle. It absolutely does reduce sensitivity.

    Anecdotal evidence, I know, but I didn’t notice loss in sensitivity since my circumcision. Healing was a bit of a pain, but other than that I experience just as much pleasure as before.

    How is that even an argument? “Oh, those nerve endings don’t matter cause it’s just like losing a leg, nbd.” What the fuck?

    The point is: it’s a bit facetious to call nerve loss from removing a part of a body a loss of sensitivity. You got a piece of skin removed, of course it’s not sensitive, it’s gone. As for the skin under the foreskin, it didn’t got removed, why would it lose nerve endings?

    From what I experienced, again anecdotal so not a study, I highly doubt loss of sensitivity argument. Just to be clear, I don’t think babies should get circumcised, but I wouldn’t use an argument I feel is weak to argue against it.





  • In my twenties I’ve caught a fungus down there. It caused some scarring on the foreskin. Basically it got tighter, so much so that undoing (what’s the term??) it during erections was painful.

    The doctor said I needed to be circumcised, so I got the surgery. Healing was not too bad and I can’t say it had any lasting impact (in sensitivity or otherwise).

    EDIT:
    I lie. There is a lasting impact — I can no longer wank without lubrication. With foreskin I had no need for it.
