How does circumcision affect sex? Does it make it better for everyone... worse for someone... or worse for everyone?
You'd have to ask someone that had the surgery as an adult. It's nothing like female circumcision though, where they remove most of the ability to feel pleasure during sex. Personally, I'm circumsized & don't have nor have I ever heard any complaints.
Actually, it removes much of a male's pleasure as well; most of those nerves are in the foreskin. Also, the glans, which would normally be much softer as it is protected, is exposed, the skin becomes much less supple and loses sensitivity. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreskin (caution, contains photos of erect, intact, and cut penises).
Presumably God does not want you to enjoy the pleasure "he" created. Circumcision is a major industry in the USA for docs - about $300 a pop. Plus if you ever wondered where all those personal care products that have human proteins in them . . . from The Tyee (British Columbia, Can. magazine: http://thetyee.ca/Views/2007/01/30/Foreskin/ )
Wonder why "ribbed" condoms are popular with some women? The ribs take the place of what the foreskin would do if it were still there. There is even a "cottage industry" of sorts to restore foreskins without surgery, though no amount of work will ever restore the lost nerves.
And does circumcision hurt? Ever see one done to a baby?
And it ain't just men that want to have baby boys circumcised. My (ex-)wife rattled off the entire litany of reasons given why it should be done (he should look like you, &c). Her midwife finally talked her out of it (the midwife did not do them and strongly encouraged against it - yes, there are still a few midwives in the USA - good thing too, because ofttimes hospitals don't ask first - $300).
But it took another woman to convince my ex- that our son should be allowed to choose for himself which body parts he wants lopped off. No amount of discussion from Dad would do. He chose not to as an adult.
