Reply #210: my dh and I say the same thing, but from my research, [View All]

the four of us would like it a lot better if you had been left intact! (now THAT sounds dirty)

basically, the head of the penis is not designed to be exposed all the time, over years and years the exposure desensitizes it. Also, the foreskin that is removed does have a purpose, it allows the erect penis to have enough skin to become fully erect comfortably. understand that uncirc'd and circ'd penis' look almost identical when erect. Unless of course if the dr. cut too much foreskin off and the cut penis curves when erect or worse. the foreskin is also nice for your partner, as it allows for more movement and friction during sex without as much need for lubrication. (this theory has been held up by my best friend, whose DH is intact, but her partners before marriage were not.)

It could be even better is all I am saying! One of the reasons it was begun was to discourage handling of the penis due to the pain and/or discomfort created during an erection, to stop boys from masturbating and from wanting to have sex.
