Here is a great article on the decades old debate about whether or not circumcision affects the quality of your sexual sensations….or whether it’s all the same regardless of whether you have, or have not been circumcised! So the next time your buddy starts talking about how proud he is of the good old fashioned "turtleneck"….you can finally put your mind, and his chest pumping to rest. You can read the full article at the link below.

Okay. It’s official now. A study in the Journal of Sexual Medicine1 looked at a question that has been plaguing men for thousands of years. I know I stay up many nights tossing and turning, wondering the answer to this question. As a urologist, I know in my heart that millions of other men also spend hours each day thinking about this timeless problem. But now we finally have an answer. We can all put this behind us and get on with our lives.The study looked at the age old question, do circumcised men have less penile sensation than uncircumcised men? The answer, no. It appears that whether or not a man is circumcised, whether aroused or not, his penile sensation is the same. Thank God. I was so worried that because I was circumcised at birth, I have been missing out on lots of fun. And wouldn’t you know. it’s the Canadians that figured this one out. Another advantage to those long dark winters.But wait, there was another interesting fact that Dr. Payne and others discovered. They found that the penile sensitivity of men, whether circumcised or not, is actually less than they had anticipated. I’m not sure how much sensitivity these researchers expected.
