Out of curiosity... I was told that circumcision affects the function of the penis... Is that true?

I am told that it reduces sensitivity, and a guy usually has less powerful orgasms... Is that true? I am circumcised, so I never really knew what life would be like if I wasn't... Videos from sources say that it delays ejaculation, and therefore, removes sensitivity. So I guess circumcised men are not sufferers of premature ejaculation?

Does sex feel different? Do blowjobs feel different? I am just wondering how it affects the functioning, as women have said it changes how they function...

Just wondering, out of curiosity, and admittedly, slightly out of lament. Hahahaha

Superb Opinion

  • Yeah I'm pretty sure us circusized guys are less sensitive for a couple reasons.

    1 our head is just always out rubbing in our shorts and stuff, sense we always feel something that in itself makes us less sensative cause we are use to it

    2 there is sensitive, soft spongy area under the tip that I think some bad circumcisions have actually removed that part. Luckily I still have it. More often than not when I jerk off I do so by just rubbing/pressing that one spot with 1 finger, dont actually stroke my shaft much, I couldnt imagine if they had cut that off.

  • I am circumcised.
    It doesn't affect anything. Of course 2 people can never know what if feels like to live in another person's body... how sensitive their body feels.
    When I am engorged... I am ooozing sensitivity. I can't imagine being able to be more sensitive so I doubt that is true.

    • Well, I know it may seem irrelevant, but it has a lot to do with it... Are you well-endowed? A lot of well-endowed guys tend to have issues with premature ejaculation...

  • I was cut at birth so like every other guy who was also I'll never be able to know the extent of the difference in sensation. What I do know from my research on this issue is that the foreskin is functional tissue that is highly enervated with sensory "feels good" nerve endings. And it also serves the purpose of keeping the the glans of the penis from drying out and becoming less sensitive.
    I wish my penis was intact.

    • Edit: innervated not enervated

  • I was circumcised as an adult.

    it makes it somewhat easier to delay orgasm although not THAT dramatically. However delaying tends to build it so that can actually mean better orgasms.

    from a functional standpoint for both sex and handjobs the foreskin tends to slide back and forth creating more glide and less direct friction. For me, while the direct friction might have been less pleasureable pre circumcision, it was better post. I'm less sensitive now to the sort of "oh that's too intense/direct" sort of feelings - really direct just feels great now and enjoy it more. That's noticeable during bj as well.

    for female partners it's a little harder to give handjobs to circumcised, but on the other hand many seem to find bj more appealing. For sex it gives her more friction. Some women prefer that others prefer more glide.

    • I thought that circumcision destroys a guy's ability to finish... I think that, because I after have trouble finishing... In the first 1-2 minutes, I usually fighting against finishing, but after I get past the first minute, the feeling of fighting ejaculation goes away, and I usually have to 'chase' it again, and it takes a LOT out of me to get back there again.

  • Be hard to say. You would need someone that’s been circumcised later in life that has experienced both. I would be curious to here that response.

  • you're wrong I'm circumcised and I can cum and orgasm just like other people in the same amount of time

    • Well, I guess so. I reckon you are not a victim of performance anxiety, or ashamed of your body, like I am xD

    • I read some articles about it and it should have the opposite effect of what you said, and by that, I mean circumcised can feel more during sex and cum faster than uncircumcised because of the removed skin !!! also why you're ashamed of your body?

    • I guess, but the head might become desensitised after being exposed after a long time, so I guess there is conflicting reports. Yes, I am ashamed of my body, because of self-image, including my penis size.
