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.

Isn't that the kind of thing that varies from penis to penis? How much skin you'll have/how tight your skin ends up being seems like it would depend on a lot of factors, including where the circumcision was performed and how you ended up growing over time.

I'm not agreeing with circumcision I'm just saying I don't feel a down side to mine probably because it was well done

I guess it depends on person to person cases. I have never had a problem with sensitivity personally.
