Quick Need A Link: Side Effects on Women

[Shelsi]

I remember seeing a link and it was like a top ten list or something of the ways circ messes up a woman's sex life... Anyone have it??

I'm not sure what list you are referring to. You might want to look at the articel by Christaine Northrup MD called "How Male Cicumcision May be Affecting Your Love Life."

Also, below is some information about what is known about the effect of circumcision on female sexual satisfaction, which I recently compiled:

Some of the advantages of intercourse with an intact (non-circumcised) man are: increased ease of intromission1 2; conservation of vaginal lubrication3 4 5 6; increased comfort for the woman due to friction-reducing gliding action of the foreskin6; tendency toward gentler, shorter strokes, allowing for more contact with the mons/clitoris6. According to one detailed qualitative survey, women report that sex with an intact (non-circumcised) man leads to increased incidence of vaginal orgasm and multiple orgasms, increased sense of intimacy, and greater enjoyment of prolonged intercourse, among other outcomes.6
