- Circumcised males may also be at risk of premature ejaculation, or alternatively may have to resort to prolonged thrusting during intercourse in order to stimulate sufficiently the residual erogenous penile nerve endings to trigger ejaculation (Bensley & Boyle, 2001). They report that the unnatural dryness of their circumcised penis often makes coitus painful, resulting in chafing and/or skin abrasions (Gemmell & Boyle, 2001). Concomitantly, O'Hara and O'Hara (1999) found that female partners reported significantly greater sexual pleasure from intercourse with genitally intact men as compared with circumcised men. Money and Davison (1983) had previously documented a loss of stretch receptors in the prepuce and frenulum and an associated diminution in sexual response, thereby restricting a circumcised man’s ability to achieve arousal. Consequently, erectile dysfunction may be a complication of male circumcision (Glover, 1929; Ozkara, Asicioglu, Alici, Akkus, & Hattat, 1999; Palmer & Link, 1979; Stief, Thon, Djamilian, Allhoff, & Jonas, 1992; Stinson, 1973).

The fact that there can be a lively debate is evidence that its not at all the same as female circumcision. There is no debate there, in my mind. It is pure wrong, and I say that about very, very few things. My world, usually shades of grey, is purely black and white on that topic.

This video should be very enlightening to you.

First of all, the video was enlightening to me and in a way that has nothing to do with male/female circumcision but rather in a way that displays how to share information. This video was very well put together. Simple and direct without pulling any punches. I'm glad I watched this.

I agree that the two aren't analogous, my only point is that our view of male circumcision is completely ethnocentric. If you removed yourself from it as a cultural norm and saw the practice with a fresh mind, you would likely find it extremely bizarre. (I fully realize I've gone from barbaric to bizarre... this thread has tempered by view)
