Circumcised Men Must Protect Against Loss of Penis Sensation

According to a report in the New York Times, circumcision rates among males in North America has been declining since 2005. This is due to recent medical research that has indicated that there are few real benefits to removal of the foreskin. However, nearly half of all male babies are still circumcised at birth, whether for cultural or cosmetic reasons. This circumstance has lead to concerns about long-term side effects, especially loss of penis sensation.

The foreskin, which covers the glans, or head of the penis, is full of nerve endings, which are lost when this sheath of skin is surgically removed. The exposed glans is then subject to constant exposure, and maintaining the natural moisture and sensitivity of the delicate skin in this area requires extra care. Treating the head and shaft with penis-specific vitamins and minerals may help to minimize the negative effects of circumcision.

How circumcision affects penis sensitivity

Removal of the foreskin can significantly affect penis sensation. As the highly sensitive skin of the glans is exposed and left without its natural protection, it loses its moisture, and the skin may become dry and take on a wrinkled or shriveled appearance. In addition, the skin is now subject to constant friction from rough clothing, as well as environmental contaminants. All of this contributes to the outer layers of skin becoming thickened and less receptive to stimulation, leading to lost penis sensation.

Men who are considering circumcision, whether for health reasons, cosmetic preference or hygiene purposes, should consult with a knowledgeable men’s health specialist and inquire about all the possible side effects, as these may contribute to long-term issues that can affect sexual health.

Tips to help prevent loss of sensation and restore penis sensitivity

Fortunately, with the proper care, it is possible to help prevent the sensation-related side effects of circumcision. By following these suggestions, men who were circumcised early in life may even be able to restore penis sensitivity to a degree, making sex more enjoyable and contributing to a healthy, supple and smooth penis.

1. Wear loose-fitting underwear and clothing made from natural fabrics that will not bind, chafe or cause excessive perspiration.

2. Use all-natural cleansers when bathing and avoid soaps and laundry detergents that contain chemicals which may cause drying and irritation.

3. Use a personal lubricant during masturbation or sex to prevent excessive dry rubbing or chafing, which can promote the formation of callous-like skin and lead to reduced penis sensation.

4. Treat the penis on a daily basis with a nutrient formula designed to promote skin and nerve health, and be sure to include a high-quality natural skin moisturizer (shea butter works best, as it is generally suitable for all skin types) in the penis care regimen.

5. Try different positions during sex, rather than following the same routine every time. Experimenting with various angles can stimulate different areas of the penis skin, which can lead to an enhanced sensual experience.

Effective skin care products for promoting penis sensitivity

In order to maintain healthy penis skin and promote optimum nerve function, men of all ages should treat the penis with a nutrient preparation designed to support erogenous tissue health. A specially designed penis health formula (most health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil) containing vitamins such as A, B5, C, D, and E, as well as natural moisturizers and antioxidants, may help to restore lost penis sensation, prevent penis sensation loss, and protect the skin of the penis against irritation, infection and environmental damage that may affect penis health. Men who include vitamin treatments in their daily self-care regimen may find that masturbation and sex become more pleasurable and enjoy a deeper sensual experience.
