“I’ve learned a lot since beginning my research on circumcision,” explains Jennifer. “I’ve heard from men all over the world who have shared stories about distress over their circumcision status. I feel fortunate that they are willing to share their story with me.

Female participants reported a slight preference for circumcised partners for certain sex acts and regarded circumcised penises more positively, believing them to be more hygienic, more attractive and in line with social norms.

By contrast, male respondents strongly preferred partners with intact penises for all sexual activities, and held more positive beliefs about intact penises, the study said.

Women with uncircumcised partners reported higher levels of sexual satisfaction than did women with circumcised partners, though Bossio noted it’s unclear whether there’s a statistically significant difference.

Researchers also found that the foreskin had similar sensitivity as the control site on the forearm for all of the stimulus types tested.

Results
Penile sensitivity did not differ across circumcision status for any stimulus type or penile site. The foreskin of intact men was more sensitive to tactile stimulation than the other penile sites, but this finding did not extend to any other stimuli (where foreskin sensitivity was comparable to the other sites tested).

The previous findings of
the foreskin bein g a source of signific ant sensation
(reference 7 in article) are also reason for concern .
Men circumc ised in infancy ha ve never had
this added source of sensation and, therefore,
may not be able to determine that sensitivity
was lost.
