(2,383 posts)And as for the comparison between an intact adult male and a circumcised adult male-
- sex can often be painful for the circumcised adult male and their partner
- erection, due to the lack of foreskin, can be painful if there is too much skin taken off
- even masturbation is an endeavour for circumcised males as there isn't enough skin and decreased sensitivity on the penis to achieve climax.
I'm currently trying to find out if there was a study done whether adult circumcised males are more prone to pain compared to adult intact males- regarding needles (blood tests/vaccinations), etc.
There HAVE been studies done on infant babies in terms of pain threshold- the circumcised babies felt pain more readily (when they got their routine vaccinations) than the intact babies.
I don't remember when they had to slice my feet to get blood for tests when I was a very sick baby and yet sometimes I have niggling itches on those very areas of my feet over 30 years later. The body remembers even when the mind doesn't remember.
