What is circumcision and does it affect sexual performance?
All males are born with a foreskin, a piece of skin that covers the head of the penis. Many parents have this flap removed when their baby boys are just a few days old. That’s called circumcision. Doctors have said removing the foreskin reduces the risk of infection. Some guys have not been circumcised and still have their foreskins. Basically, there’s no difference between circumcised and uncircumcised penises, except for the way they look. They both function the same. But, a guy with an uncircumcised penis has to be especially careful to clean under the foreskin to prevent infection and keep the skin moving freely over the head of the penis. He also has to be sure the foreskin is rolled back before putting on a condom. Sometimes, it will roll back naturally. If not, then he should pull it back over the head of the penis. If there’s any pain when pulling back the foreskin, see a doctor. Sometimes, uncircumcised penises get adhesions – places where the foreskin is stuck to the penis –
