The facts:
- There is less sensation after getting circumcised making sex less enjoyable. If you were cut as an infant, then you don't know better and you don't miss anything.
- These days showers/water/soap is very accessible to everyone and definitely at an agency incall. This wasn't the common case thousands of years ago when the practice originated.
- Smegma has a function, The foreskin has a function. This is why we are born with it.
- The overwhelming majority of those who get a circumcision as an adult report loss of sensation.
- If you are circumcised, some part of you believes that you are more acceptable because of it
These aren't facts. They are statements you may believe, but that doesn't make them facts. Well, showers and soap being accessible is a fact. But the foreskin doesn't really have a function, any more than nipples on men have a function.
Less sensation after getting circumcised? Hmm. Rub your foreskin. Then rub your glans. Do you really believe the foreskin is where the nerves are located?
Google the study I'm assuming you came across. Then read the reactions:
"The study is pretty flawed," said Douglas Diekema, a pediatrics professor at the University of Washington, who was part of the American Academy of Pediatrics 2012 task force on circumcision. "I read the conclusion and then I read the study, and I said, 'Wow, they went overboard in what they're concluding.'" The study used a biased sample population, didn't measure sensitivity changes before and after circumcision, and found only a tiny difference between the two groups, which is clinically meaningless, making it impossible to conclude from the results that circumcision reduces sexual sensitivity, several experts said.
The American Academy of Pediatrics has concluded that
circumcision's benefits outweigh its risks and that no well-done studies find a reduction of sensitivity. Two large studies of a random sample of men in Africa found no difference in sexual pleasure after circumcision between those who'd had been snipped and those who hadn't, Michael Brady, chairman of the pediatrics department at Nationwide Children's Hospital in Ohio, who worked on those trials, wrote in an email.
And a January study of about 10,000 German men found no difference in erectile function based on circumcision status.
