Circ and aging  

post #1 of 7
Thread Starter 
We all know that in a normal (intact) penis the vast majority of nerves are concentrated in the foreskin, particularly the 'ridged band'. The only nerves a circumcised penis has are those in the remnants of the inner foreskin and frenulum (if he's really lucky) and the glans (normaly not the most sensitive part).

As a man ages, these structures, which are supposed to be internal but are now exposed, get rubbed and abraded and keratinized to the point where there just is not much sensitivity left. It stands to reason that anecdotal reports of men having difficulty reaching orgasm later in life have some validity.

I am sure few openly admit it. So, does anyone know of any documented evidence, studies, reports etc that prove the assertion that circumcision further impairs a man's (and , of course, his partner's) sex life as they get a bit older?

I've often wondered what that sales of Viagra and Cialis are like in Europe where the vast majority of males are intact.

There are several men who come here who say that their motivation to restore was that over time, it became harder and harder to orgasm. Perhaps they will come to comment.

I've wondered about this too when I came onto this board. I'm 24, will be 25 in December. My partner, on the other hand is 42. He's fairly sensitive ... at least from what I can tell. I mean, he can orgasm just by running water over the head of his penis. I can't even do that on my clitoris! Crazy, lol.

I'm hoping he'll be the exception to the rule, and never have any problems. But, obviously, if he does, I'll support him in anything he wants to do.

I would be interested in seeing studies as well. I wish there was more interest in this. You always see studies about how great circumcision is, but rarely are studies done on how BAD it actually is.

I do not know of any studies. However, i can speak from experience. It was not until after i had been restoring for a while before i could put two and two together regarding this idea. And i realized that i had been slowly losing the ability to reach climax. It happened so slowly that i was not aware of it. But after partially restoring, it became clear that i had been losing sensitivity and it was taking more energy and concentration to climax. So as i was aging, it was becoming harder and harder to reach climax.

Restoration has not only reduced this, but it is now better than before.

Regards
