Circumcision: How Does it Affect a Man’s Sex Life?

Posted by John Dugan on Wednesday, December 18, 2019, In : Men's Health 

There’s a lot of talk about circumcision. A long-time practice that has religious roots, the careful lobbing off a man’s penis tip, has recently come under much scrutiny. For the last 50 years, people have been fighting female genital mutilation in other countries like Africa, while some activists would argue, it is being ignored in the US and other developed nations when it comes to circumcision. Is it a barbaric practice, or is it something that has a basis in healthy living and health...

There are lots of reasons people are talking about circumcision these days, and it’s no wonder. What was once considered par for the course (strangely enough, however, there are more uncut than cut men in the world), is now being widely questioned as a form of genital mutilation. Aesthetics and culture aside, is there reason to believe that circumcision affects penis sensitivity? A new study out of Canada may have found the answer.

Circumcision and Penis Sensitivity

Posted by John Dugan on Tuesday, July 23, 2019, In : Men's Health 

There’s an old wives’ tale that circumcision can lead to a decreased level of penis sensitivity. The idea is that since the head of the penis 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 penises to touch, heat and pressure, they found that having foreskin doesn't increa...

In either case, the right penis care can make all the difference when it comes to a healthy and happy man...
