Circumcision Does Not Alter Sexual Satisfaction
A study done on 5,000 Ugandan men, half circumcised (that is half the men were full circumcised), showed that circumcision does not affect sensitivity. Any way, men on sides of the scalpel rated their performance and satisfaction from sex. The study was conducted by Johns Hopkins University and is primarily to be used as a way to convince African men to get circumcised. It is thought that circumcision (once properly healed) can cut the chance for AIDS infection by 50%.
We’ve seen similar studies done in the past (click here to see that Dish). The tough thing about tests like this is that it is so subjective. Presently, 98.4% of the circumcised men reported satisfaction and 99.4% of the uncircumcised group reported satisfaction. Shocker (be sure to ask first), dudes like sex. It feels good. Wouldn’t it be best to conduct the same test on the same men before and after, given the same set of circumstances and also poll their partners? A few guys would have to put their faith in the science and take one for the team. And we might as well see what the ladies think too. It’s a little tough to have heterosexual sex without them.
We're a little skeptical about any studies to this regard. There is an equal number of studies on each side of the issue. It may be something that is never resolved.
Note: These scientists still haven’t figured out anything better than condoms for disease protection. Those filthy bastards need to work a little harder.
Discussion
Yeah, they don't notice any difference now. Ask them in 5, 10, and 20 years and give their glans a chance to dry out.
This is more trash put out to help American parents feel better about cutting their kids and keeping that circumcision gravy train rolling.
There was a study published in the March 2007 issue of BJU International on "The Effect Of Male Circumcision On Sexuality":
About 6% answered that their sex lives improved, while 20% reported a worse sex life after circumcision.
This study suggests that adult circumcision adversely affects sexual function in a significant number of men, and the authors suggest that it may be due to loss of nerve endings in the removed skin. In addition, there was an approximately 9% incidence of severe penile scarring or uncomfortable erections from curvature or tethering after circumcision.
Now why didn't this receive the same coverage the latest study got?
This study utilized the same cohort of men who asked to be circumcised and were paid to undergo the surgery in another study that attempted to show a lower rate of HIV in circumcised men.
Did the researchers honestly think the men would tell them they had been harmed from a surgery they asked for? Did they think these men would tell them something they didn't want to hear after they had paid them to undergo this surgery?
Please ... more biased "research" rife with conflicts of interest.
