A member asked:

What is the difference between a circumcised and uncircumcised penis during sex?

Dr. George Klauber answered

Specializes in Pediatric Urology

>Friction with circ: An uncircumcised penis penis retracts into the foreskin during sex. There is no foreskin with a circumcised penis and thus more friction. This should not make much of a difference if there is adequate lubricatiion, either vaginal or from external lubricant.
