Are circumcised men less likely to masturbate?

    That is the way it should be. Once you are cut you will never know how being uncut feels like it. Good for you

    Can you explain HOW different it is one group from another when they masturbate?

    As per Jewish tradition, I had a Bris (circumcision) when I was 8 days old, performed by a Moyle. So I really had no choice and neither did my son, father and grandfather...

    Unfortunately, I have been masturbating for more than 20 years. I have never had problems with sensitivity.

    Being a (former) porn watcher, I found the uncut penises to be really ugly compared to those that are cut.

    If you have a choice, I think the choice has to focus on hygiene - although there is research to support both cut and uncut. Some believe that cosmetic surgery should be avoided at all costs due to the possibility of complications.

    I have also heard that adult circumcision is a very painful and uncomfortable procedure.

    Lol!!! ugly! For me, uncut, I think circumcised penises are really ugly myself. It all depends what you are used to seeing. To be honest I do not think they are very pretty to begin with. It amazes me that some people think they are beautiful. But, at any rate, I think the whole issue has to do with how clean you keep it. The rest of the conversation we can go on and on and we will never what the right condition is. As long as it works!

    It's all in the head.
    Some people are horny, others aren't. It's that simple.

    I had no choice here, it was common procedure at the local hospital 42 years ago, you just had to check in the box I guess and my parents said yes. I wouldn't have had it done as an adult myself. Got to hurt! Funny we are having that discussion just now, as I just interrupted a ladies discussion about exactly that (3 of them) and they were voting for CUT!
    Matter of preference I guess. Religion, hygiene, trend, preference, etc...

    In porn, of course we are all used to erect peens, for for the rare occurences to flaccid, there is more CUT than UNCUT sightings isn't it?

    There is an aspect to male circumcision that hasn't been mentioned. The references to sensitivity so far have been about the unprotected glans penis becoming less sensitive - which is true. But the BIGGEST aspect of sensitivity is the foreskin itself. It is far and away the most sensitive part of the penis. When you chop off 20,000 nerve endings, well it is a no brainer!

    If it is a religious rite, that is a personal matter. :cool:
    Hygiene issues of any kind are simply resolved with washing! :rolleyes:
    Porn trends are away from the natural - i.e. cut penises and shaved pubic hair. :oops:
    Preference - sometimes it is better to just say it is what I prefer than put forward a lame or spurious argument. :)

    No! I masturbate a lot in the past until I join noFap.
    I am one of the circumcised men.
     
  10. I got circumcised two years ago because my foreskin was to thight. Sex would have been inpossible. You don´t develop a thick layer, but your penis becomes tolerant against pain. But you still have the same pleasure with sex.
    Btw a circumcision is not a big deal. I was able to leave the hospital a few hours after the operation. But i have to say, that i live in Austria. Maybe it is diferent in other countries. Of course, every operation is somehow risky.
    And let me stress, a circumcision don´t stops you from watching porn or other unwanted sexual behavior. And when you think about, of course it would be possible to masturbate although you are circumcised, but it´s more difficult and i don ´t do it.

  12. It does not decreases the desire to masturbate. It just makes masturbation, and sex, less pleasurable. The desire to masturbate is located in your balls and in your brain. PMO or MO addiction is in the brain. That is the place you have to work on. Cutting off part of the penis to deal with desire to masturbate is like Cutting off your nose cos it is running, cos of cold. Ridiculous.

    My record for fapping is 18 times in a day. I am circumcised so I'd say it doesn't matter.
    I did however avoid porn where the guy wasn't circumcised. I thought it looked strange.
    I talked to a Vietnam vet who told me he was uncircumcised when he enlisted and they made him get it done. It was a health issue due to all the swampy areas they would be in. Not that health issues mattered since they dropped agent orange on him anyways.

    I got circumcised because it improves hygiene and the look of the penis. In my opinion, everybody should get circumcised.

    Regarding masturbation: Circumcision does not prevent masturbation. After circumcision, it is still quite easy to masturbate to orgasm. But the technique becomes a tiny bit more complicated, and of course, you cannot play around with your foreskin. You cannot just slip your hand in your pants; in order to masturbate, you have to take the penis out. So circumcision might help you if you don’t want to masturbate, but it will not keep you from doing it.

    You can improve your genital hygiene by washing more carefully and more often. IMO - there is no reason to remove the foreskin! Saying that the penis looks better with part of it cut away is absolutely preposterous. That is like saying our ears look better if we slice off our earlobes. Or it's like suggesting, to keep our feet hygienic we should have our toes removed!

    Mine was cut when I was 8 days old, I still fapped like an animal, and I don't care either way. I just hope my foreskin went to good use, like eyelids for burn victims. Of course I know that didn't happen but I like to tell myself it did.

    So I am Christian and circumcised at birth. I cannot masturbate like a normal person, or at least I don’t know if they do something I’m not. When my masturbate, I lie down face first and hold my penis in one spot and I move the rest of my body up and down. I want to be able to jerk off like a normal person, and Idk if the reason I masturbate like this is because I’m cut or not. But getting snipped won’t necessarily make you stop jerking off, however it may reduce it.
     
  18. Being circumcised sure didn't stop me!

    I was circumcised as a baby and I masturbated plenty. If it does effect masturbation it's not by much.

  20. Keep abstaining, lol. Don't get circumcised. Circumcision is almost standard in the US. If your theory had any validity then porn would not be nearly as prevelant and the majority of the users would be female.
