Actually Ustwo, seeing how the two current respondents are so similar has already revealed some interesting info. The anti-circ crowd keeps insisting the foreskin has thousands of erogenous nerve cells, often pointing out the sensitivity of the tip of the foreskin, the inner foreskin layer, and the ridged band, which is why I asked for info on those areas. But as was reported by those two respondents, those areas are no more sensitive than the rest of the surrounding skin, and don't appear to contribute much to sexual gratification.
The head and frenulum however are a different story. I actually have the same sensations! My glans reacts very well to stimulation although it has been desensitized a bit when I switched from briefs to boxers many years ago. The underwear acted as a proxy foreskin, reducing the rubbing. When I had to switch to boxers (the leg elastics caused trouble), it took me a couple of months for the glans to finally stop sending persistent signals to my brain! "CUT IT OUT!!!"
I was loosely circumcised at birth. As a consequence, I still have almost all of my frenulum. It may no longer be as functional (intact males who have undergone frenoplasty would probably understand this), but it's definitely sensitive! When properly moistened, it's a fantastic feeling! So already, I'm not all that different from intact men.
As for russian jews circumcised in Israel experiencing increased sexual satisfaction, that might have been temporary since their glans is now permanently exposed and has to adapt to its new environment, similar to my experience when I switched underwear styles. Has any follow-up research been done on that study a few months after the circumcisions?
If I were to make a guess as to what will happen to me in the upcoming months once I'm fully "covered", I believe the frenulum will increase a bit in sensitivity, then stabilize very close to its original sensitivity once my brain has readjusted its internal "volume control". The glans may recover its original sensitivity like when I used to wear briefs, and then some. But my glans can behave in a very bizarre manner at times even in its current uncovered "desensitized" state. After climaxing during oral sex, EVERY NERVE IN THE GLANS FIRES UP FULL BLAST!!! That's when I have to BEG the girl to please stop! Will it behave in the same manner once I'm restored? Will I hit the ceiling? Or will I build up a tolerance? Who knows?
Eventually, I'll have to ask circumcised men a few pointed questions to determine how much sensitivity they MAY have lost depending on how tightly they were circumcised and how much original tissue was removed.
Martian, thanks for the info!
Savemesome11, don't worry. I'll never show you my new turtleneck.
