people have been demonizing it for most of the AD years i think but it’s quite pleasant really. are there any proven negative effects?

    Same reason we practice forced male genital mutilation in the United States, religion (abrahamic) says pleasure is bad.

      What has circumcision to do with sexual pleasure? Please do explain. I’m circumcised and I have no loss of sensation from not having foreskin. I also don’t have a moist area for bacteria to multiply

        Where you circumcized after you became sexually active?

        If not, how would you know there is no loss?

            There are people that were circumcized after becoming sexually active who can (and do) report exactly that.

            Separately, we can simply ask people that have foreskins to describe the sensations they feel from that body part.

            The only part that we can’t say with confidence is how the neutral pathways develop (i.e. how we perceive the sensations) when it’s the only way we’ve ever experienced.

        If only you could wash yourself.
