Circumcision helped

    It is not to force stopping masturbation. That makes no sense.

    I grew up uncircumcised and then got circed as an adult for medical reasons.

    Circumcision does not reduce sexual pleasure or sensitivity. Yes you lose nerves in the penis tip. But how the brain works is that when senses are lost, other senses step in to form the same function. It’s called neuroplasticity I think. So the nerves in your shaft become more sensitive to make up for the loss in the tip. Overall there’s no change to sexual pleasure.

    What this means is that penetrative sex (which mostly engages, guess what, the shaft) becomes way more satisfying. Before being circed, I had a difficult time finishing from penetration both due to physical pain from the foreskin being pulled back and low sexual stimulation. To reach orgasm, I would have to do this weird thing where I rub the foreskin with my finger almost like a woman masturbating her clit.

    Being circumcised is just more comfortable and cleaner overall. No guarantees, but it does seem like my penis grew at least a half inch since being circed.

    I don’t think it made any difference on porn addiction for me but if it helped for you, awesome.

    Fellas, if you have the chance, do it.

    I grew up uncircumcised, too. In 12th grade, I became curious about it, so I started reading online (circlist.org etc.) about this topic, and I came to the conclusion that circumcision is actually cool. As my foreskin was quite long and oftentimes a bit inflamed, there was also a slight medical indication.

    When I was way into my 30ies, I finally got circumcised. It did not turn out quite as expected though. Even though we agreed on a tight circumcision, the surgeon did a very loose or partial circumcision. Sigh. He also made some negative remarks about circumcision in general. Then, after a day or so, a haematoma developed, so the sutures had to be removed, and the healing took 10 weeks.

    Nevertheless, I do not regret it. On the contrary. 1. The foreskin does not pinch or itch anymore. 2. I don’t need to clean the penis twice a day anymore. Even if I don’t clean it three days in a row, it is cleaner than ever before. 3. And it feels great not to have a foreskin. (If you still have a foreskin and you cannot imagine what I mean, buy some kinesio tape, and tape it back for a day or so.)
