Circoncisione & Sessualità

Men Circumcised as Adults

"After the circumcision there was a major change. It was like night and day. I lost most sensation. I would give anything to get the feeling back."

Only men circumcised as adults can experience the difference a foreskin makes. In the Journal of Sex Research, Money and Davison from the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine reported on five such men. Changes included diminished penile sensitivity and less penile gratification. The investigators concluded,

Erotosexually and cosmetically, the operation is, for the most part, contraindicated, and it should be evaluated in terms of possible pathological sequelae.

Other men circumcised as adults regret the change.

I play guitar and my fingers get callused from playing. That’s similar to what happened to my penis after circumcision.

After the circumcision there was a major change. It was like night and day. I lost most sensation. I would give anything to get the feeling back. I would give my house. [This man’s physician persuaded him to be circumcised by warning he could otherwise get penile cancer. When the man complained of the result, the physician replied, “That’s normal” and would not help him.]

Slowly the area lost its sensitivity, and as it did, I realized I had lost something rather vital. Stimuli that had previously aroused ecstasy had relatively little effect. . . . Circumcision destroys a very joyful aspect of the human experience for males and females.

The greatest disadvantage of circumcision is the awful loss of sensitivity when the foreskin is removed. . . . On a scale of 10, the intact penis experiences pleasure that is at least 11 or 12; the circumcised penis is lucky to get to 3.

The sexual differences between a circumcised and uncircumcised penis is . . . like wearing a condom or wearing a glove. . . . Sight without color would be a good analogy. . . . Only being able to see in black and white, for example, rather than seeing in full color would be like experiencing an orgasm with a foreskin and without. There are feelings you’ll just never have without a foreskin.

After thirty years in the natural state I allowed myself to be persuaded by a physician to have the foreskin removed—not because of any problems at the time, but because, in the physician’s view, there might be problems in the future. That was five years ago and I am sorry I had it done. . . . The sensitivity in the glans has been reduced by at least 50 percent. There it is, unprotected, constantly rubbing against the fabric of whatever I am wearing. In a sense, it has become callused. . . . I seem to have a relatively unresponsive stick where I once had a sexual organ.

Circumcision Removes the Most Sensitive Parts of the Penis

A sensitivity study of the adult penis in circumcised and genitally intact men shows that the natural penis is significantly more sensitive. The most sensitive location on the circumcised penis is the circumcision scar on the ventral surface. Five locations on the natural penis that are routinely removed at circumcision are significantly more sensitive than the most sensitive location on the circumcised penis.

In addition, the glans (head) of the circumcised penis is less sensitive to fine touch than the glans of the intact penis. The tip of the foreskin is the most sensitive region of the intact penis, and it is significantly more sensitive than the most sensitive area of the circumcised penis. Circumcision removes the most sensitive parts of the penis.

This study presents the first extensive testing of fine touch pressure thresholds of the adult penis. The monofiliment testing instruments are calibrated and have been used to test female genital sensitivity.

Adult male volunteers for the study had no history of penile disease. Results were controlled for age, type of underwear worn, time since last ejaculation, ethnicity, country of birth, and level of education. There were 68 genitally intact subjects and 91 circumcised subjects.

Other studies on penile sensitivity did not include testing the sensitivity of the foreskin. They were also subject to cultural bias, flawed testing methods, small number of subjects, or involved men who had penile medical problems.

La Danimarca procede verso il divieto di circoncisione

Molti parlamentari danesi hanno proposto di vietare la circoncisione per tutti i bambini. Queste pratiche sono già vietate sulle bambine, dato che molti immigrati da Paesi musulmani praticavano l'infibulazione sulle neonate di sesso femminile, non per motivi igienici o fisici ma unicamente per fede; tuttavia i bambini possono ancora essere sottoposti alla circoncisione se è presente un medico. La tradizione ebraica la impone per tutti i bambini, e la pratica è supportata da molti musulmani. Tuttavia sia il Consiglio Etico che il Consiglio Nazionale per i Bambini hanno criticato questa mutilazione, menomazione di un organo sano, intatto e funzionale, dichiarando che il ragazzo dovrebbe essere messo in grado di decidere per se stesso se vuole che questa pratica sia applicata al suo corpo al raggiungimento del quindicesimo anno di età. In Danimarca infatti, la soglia dei 15 anni permette al ragazzino di avere piena facoltà legale sul proprio corpo. Il divieto è approvato dai Social Democrats, Red-Green Alliance e Liberal Alliance. La portavoce del Ministero della salute dello stesso Danish People's Party, Liselott Brixt, dice di approvare il divieto. "Moltissimi genitori vogliono applicarla al figlio solo perchè è stato fatto a loro. Stiamo vivendo nel presente, e non è corretto esporre un bambino sano ad una circoncisione religiosa".




La polemica «Danno irreversibile al corpo».

«Niente circoncisione per i minori di 15 anni» Ebrei e musulmani contro la proposta danese

Il divieto è stato proposto dalla commissione per l' infanzia del Parlamento danese

<< A Copenaghen vogliono vietare che i bambini siano circoncisi >> indignazione dei sinodi ortodossi e dei mussulmani fondamentalisti. E un dubbio su tutti: se davvero passa la legge, che faranno i settemila ebrei dei fiordi? Risposta concisa: «Ce ne andremo». Niente circoncisione per i minori di 15 anni: la proposta è avanzata dalla commissione per l' infanzia del Volketing, il Parlamento danese, sostenuta dalla maggioranza di centrodestra, fatta propria dal comitato etico del governo. Una legge garantista. Temuta, temutissima, da musulmani ed ebrei. «La circoncisione è un danno irreversibile al corpo del neonato - dice il testo - e chi lo subisce non ha alcuna possibilità d' opporsi» (l' argomentazione non è nuova: anche in Israele, dove il 78 % è favorevole alla pratica, c' è un movimento che la rifiuta e si chiede se, anziché imporla all'ottavo giorno di vita, non sia il caso d' aspettare l'età della ragione). A scatenare l' ira, è soprattutto un' altra cosa: permettere la circoncisione sui maschi lede il principio d' eguaglianza, scrivono i legislatori danesi, «perché quella femminile da noi è vietata già da cinque anni». Come sempre, la rivolta corre sui blog. Perché pochi condividono: «Era ora! Un atto barbaro e primitivo che dovrebbe essere vietato» (Ramat); «benedico i miei genitori che mi hanno risparmiato» (Uri). E molti attaccano: «È una visione pop della vita, di chi banalizza tutto, Shakespeare e il grande Fratello, Mozart e Britney Spears» (A.A., Gerusalemme); «la prossima cos' è? Vietare le candele sulla torta perché inquinano l' aria?» (Terry, Eilat). Chi ribatte che «il diritto di scelta viene prima d' ogni legge». Vedremo nei prossimi mesi se la legge sarà finalmente approvata.




DENMARK: Plan to ban all circumcision

Denmark's National Council for Children has recommended the legislation of a law banning circumcision of boys under the age of 15.

"Circumcision is the irreversible damage to a child's body before he is given the chance to object," the National Council for Children argued.

The proposal may be on its way to parliament after intense discussions by MPs over the past week, reports Kristeligt Dagblad newspaper.



Although circumcision of girls was outlawed in response to the practice being common among immigrants from some Muslim countries, boys may still be circumcised if a certified physician is present.

Jewish traditions calls for the circumcision of newborn boys, and many Muslims and Christians support the practice as well. But both the Ethics Council and the National Council for Children have recently criticised the practice, stating that a boy should be able to decide for himself if he wants the procedure performed when he reaches the age of 15 - the legal age in Denmark for a child to have sole jurisdiction over his own body.

While the Social Democrats, Red-Green Alliance and Liberal Alliance have come out in support of a ban, the Danish People's Party called it 'tyranny'.

But the party's own health spokeswoman, Liselott Brixt, said she supports a ban.

'A lot of parents want it done to their children because they themselves had it done. But we're living in the present and it isn't fair to expose healthy children to religious circumcision.'

Dublino: Senatore chiede di Vietare la Circoncisione

DUBLIN: Senator calls for circumcision ban

Senator Bacik wants male circumcision banned

Labour Party Senator Ivana Bacik has said that she would approve of an Irish ban on ‘male genital mutilation’ an apparent reference to male circumcision which is carried out on Muslims and Jewish children and has been performed on millions of other babies for not medical reasons.

Il senatore Ivana Bacik del Partito laburista ha detto che lei approverebbe un divieto in Irlanda sulle 'mutilazioni genitali maschili', eseguita su bambini musulmani e bambini ebrei senza ragioni mediche.

She issued the call at the World Atheist Convention in Dublin at the weekend. Senator Bacik's comments come after a proposal to ban male circumcision was placed on the ballot in upcoming elections in San Francisco.

Speaking on Friday evening at the World Atheist Convention, Senator Bacik also said that there was a threat of a “a creeping fundamentalism in Irish life”, according to a report in the Irish Times.
