Circumcision and Member Sensitivity

Circumcision and Member Sensitivity There’s an old wives’ tale that circumcision can lead to a decreased level of member sensitivity. The idea is that since the head of the male organ is exposed instead of covered by foreskin, the tissue becomes harder over time, leading to a more difficult process of getting hard and then feeling the pleasure of self or partner stimulation. When Canadian scientists tested the sensitivity of circumcised and intact male organs to touch, heat and pressure, they found that having foreskin doesn't increase sensitivity. What is Circumcision? Circumcision is the surgical removal of the foreskin, the skin concealing the tip of the male organ. This action began in antiquity because several different cultures’ rites and rituals, most notably the Jewish tradition, saw circumcision as a covenant with good. This practice eventually became a social norm with doctors now performing the removal when not a part of religious or cultural custom. Most commonly, circumcision is done within the first few days of a male child’s life; however, it can be performed any other time as is sometimes the necessity due to issues with the foreskin or personal aesthetic preference. In recent years, there has been a backlash to this long-established process on the basis that parents should not make a life-long decision about their son’s male organ and also that the act can be traumatizing. The Canadian Study Canadian researchers tested the member sensitivity of 62 males aged 18 to 37. Of the group, half were circumcised at birth while the other half had their complete foreskins. Now, it’s important to talk about the way sensitivity was measured. Since intimate relations and self-pleasure are subjective events that rely on a man’s assumption of his member sensitivity, the had to create a controlled setting and a tool that, when applied to various pressure points, gave a sensation which yielded a sensitivity to touch outcome. After that, these men were also tested by other sensations such as warmth, heat, and pressure.
