A member asked:
I hear that circumcisions decrease sensitivity by 50-75 percent. this is bothering me, is it true?

Don't let it bother: Anti-circumcision activists make all sorts of claims. Sensitivity of glans penis after circumcisionn will certainly be little less if you touch it. However, sexual intercourse can be more vigorous so overall enjoyment should be the same. Pleasure will be considerably increased if you need to be circumcised to releave phimosis. Good luck.
