Sex with an Uncircumcised Man

I’ll be honest; I had to do a lot of research before sitting down to write this article. I have only come into contact with one uncircumcised penis during my short stint as a single adult woman, and it didn’t really seem to be that big of a deal at the time.

However, when it comes to uncircumcised (commonly spelled "uncercumsized") penises, there’s more than meets the eye . Approximately 50% of men are “uncut,” which is really how the penis is meant to be in the first place (not many men outside the United States are circumcised). Circumcision originated among ancient religious populations as a way to purify man by removing the source of his sexual pleasure. This tradition has held its ground into the 21st century, which can lead to quite a bit of confusion when a woman unexpectedly comes into contact with a penis au naturale.

It may surprise you to learn that the foreskin itself, before it is separated from its owner, is extremely sensitive to pleasure. During circumcision two very important things are removed that will never grow back: the frenulum, the band near the tip of the penis that connects the foreskin with the glans, and then of course, the foreskin and all the nerve endings that go along with it.

Not only are these sources of pleasure eliminated during circumcision, but the shaft of the penis is left unprotected and slowly loses its responsiveness through a process called keratinization. In an article published in Fathering Magazine, Rio Cruz explains that “the male glans and inner foreskin, just like the clitoris and inner labia of women, are actually internal structures covered by mucous membrane that, when exposed to the air and harsh environment through circumcision, develop a tough, dry covering to protect the delicate, sensitive tissue.”

The main difference in having sex with an uncircumcised penis is that the foreskin acts as a glider of sorts, and it stays in place while the glans and shaft continue to thrust. This leads to less friction in the vagina and thus a more pleasurable experience for the female. For circumcised men who are experiencing gradual loss of sensation throughout the course of their lifetime, there actually is a process of foreskin restoration that involves the use of tape and weights (?).

So when all is said and done, you (and your partner) are actually likely to have much better sex with a penis that is uncircumcised. If you’re performing oral sex and looking for tips, just focus your efforts on the ridge just below the glans and use your hand to help the foreskin go with the flow. That's all there is to it!

Thanks for writing this article. It caught my eye because recently my grandson was circumcised. Of course there was a lot of concern with all family members involved. I didn't know much on the subject, but seemed to me a no brainer not to do it. Only because it was the natural way to be born and have heard that circumcised men were deprived of the sexual satisfaction of uncircumcised me.
This article really explained to me the difference. Thanks for the education.

I do take circumcision very personal. I hate that it wasn't my choice to decide weather to get rid of the foreskin or not. Sex is one of the greatest things in life. Why mess with your sons penis? Are you sick? I hate my mom for circumcising me. Im 5ft 8in. My penis is 6 Inches. When i get a good erection sometimes my penis hurts like its trying to jump out of its skin. I'm a handsome guy believe me i had nice women but i'm insecure. Men like me wants the big booby girls who wants the 8inch dicks. It sucks how men can't enlarge the penis because they are circumcised. Why cross out the best in life?

You're almost right. Buffydaddy is married to a Jewish woman. Buffydaddy is not himself Jewish unless he converted.

Just a few troubling facts: 80% of American men have been circumcised. It is estimated that 70% of Americans have been infected with the HPV virus. Evidence that circumcision is not working at all.

More evidence: A British study found that 54% of 13-15 year old school girls have been infected with HPV. The most likely source: Their uncircumcised mothers as they passed through the birth canal.

Another troubling fact: 97% of infected persons will develop a natural immunity to HPV within 3 years and complely eliminate the virus from their bodies.

I am a 33 year old mother of 2 (both uncut boys) and have only been with 2 men in my life..first husband was circumsized and my husband now is not..I can not even describe how much more satisfying sex is with a my current uncut man! my ex ( who was cut ) and he had a really hard time being satisfied because of his lack of sensitivity and I felt i had to do kinky stuff so he could get more friction..I also felt inadequit as a women because of being a little looser after haveing 2 children..my hand and mouth also got tired dureing oral sex because it took so long and my vagina often got sore because of how long it took..I feel so lucky to have experienced sex how it should be ! now I know i did the right thing by leaveing my two sons intact ! oral sex goes alot smoother because of the natural libricants under the foreskin and the way it moves in your hand and inside your body is out of this world ! The penis when exposed is much softer and multiple orgasams are regular for both of us..I will never go back! I'm like a little kid with a new toy and can't wait to play with it again :)

u donot tell us about uncircumsized , they predispose cancer cervix due to smegma which considered dirty and causes chronic irritation of cx , u donot advise pap smear screening yearly for early detection of cancer CX.

Anonymous @Jan. 3: You are quoting false information from a published article from before 1920. That information was thoroughly rebuked and proven false as far back as the early 1980’s. In fact, females produce more smegma than males so they would be giving themselves cervical cancer if what you wrote was true.
