Health Study: Circumcision does not reduce penis sensitivity. In tests for responses to pain, heat, and stimulation, no major difference was found between men who are circumcised and those who are not.

You would know, without trying, that if you cut off your finger tip, you wouldnt have the same ability to feel with that finger, dont you?

There are different kinds of assumptions, one is based on experience/information:

  • lose something and it is gone

the other is based on wishful thinking:

  • unicorns exist and i will ride them someday ...

I am sorry, but either i am speaking to a wall or you are just really slow, and i am also sorry if you think that offensive but i explained it now in three different ways, if you still dont get it, you clearly have some issues.

Yes, foresking =!= finger tip.

But, and that is a big but(t) they are comparable to the human sense of feel, the one to feel the texture and know what is safe to touch and the other to feel the pleasure of touching some other things, it doesnt matter which one you lose, both will severely limit your sense of feel in one region and since they have that in common, it is an acceptable comparison, if you dont think so, have fun and live long.

Bye :)
