A little info and history of circumcision. Circumcision was first intiated by the Hebrews. The intial motivation is thought to have been because of masturbation. In society then it was frowned upon and looked as a possible stimulus for non-conformity to the hebrew "one god" thought. It eventually built steem later in history, through the medical profession and obviously will all of the religions that had hebrewism as roots. The thought was that if you cut of a sensitive part of the penis (comparable to female mutilation) that boys would not want to pleasure themselves.


From a medical point of view, the glans' (head of the penis) outer dermal layer becomes thicker than without circumcision and somewhat desensitized. This is because there are deeper layers of dead skin that not constitute the glans. Comparable to what happens if you walk around bare footed alot, although not as extreme. Now, I know people who are circumsized will say that they are still sensitive, but thats only because your reference point is only from the point of being circumsized.

I have a cousin who is 40+ now and married with kids. When he met his wife, she was from Alabama and I guess was weirded out by the whole uncircumsized thing. I guess he decided to get circumsized at like 30 or something. He said it was the worst thing that he had ever done. Sensitivity was no where near the same. He now had to use some form of lube to masturbate and it has not enhanced his sex life. If you are unhygenic and do not take care of yourself then maybe you should consider circumcision. uncircumsized men are more prone to penile cancer (especially if a history of yeast infections is present), smega buildup and sometimes improper fuction of the foreskin (not opening enough). If you clean yourself then you have no worries. Hope this clears up some info and BTW...most people in this world are NOT cut.
