14 DAY TRIAL // Muslims, Jews and most Americans should envy most European males. Because indeed, uncircumcised penises give more sexual pleasure.
Even if infant male circumcision is the most common medical procedure in the US, it has received little research over its long-term-health impact. We are talking about the effects of surgery in itself, because even less attention was focused on consequences on adult male sexual function.
Recently, a team led by M. Sorrels from the National Organization of Circumcision Information Resource Center and Michigan State University assessed the fine-touch pressure thresholds of the adult male penis in circumcised and uncircumcised men, comparing the two categories.
Adult male subjects were measured with a 19-point Semmes-Weinstein monofilament touch-test to map fine-touch pressure thresholds of the penis. The comparisons were made employing mixed models for repeated data, taking into account factors such as age, type of underwear worn, time since test ejaculation, ethnicity, country of birth, and level of education.
The glans of the uncircumcised men displayed much lower thresholds than that of circumcised men (P = 0.040). The two types of penises differ greatly in the pressure sensitivity thresholds by location on the penis (p < 0.0001). In the case of circumcised penises, the most sensitive area was the circumcision scar on the ventral surface.
Quite remarkable was the fact that five locations on the uncircumcised penis that are routinely removed through circumcision surgery presented lower pressure thresholds (were more sensitive) than the ventral scar of the circumcised penis (the most sensitive area of the circumcised penis).
The transitional area from the external to the internal prepuce has been found to be the most sensitive on the uncircumcised penis and this portion is ablated in circumcised penises.
Another recent research suggests that intact penises have four times more sexual sensitivity compared to the circumcised ones.
