Choose Intact: Fear Still Exists in the Modern World
We need more open and honest talk in our society. Too much is hidden behind closed doors. Things like the fact that male circumcision was promoted to curb male masturbation. And it worked, even though many circumcised men say that it has not slowed them down. How would they know since they were circumcised at birth? After restoring my foreskin I know that I enjoy masturbation much more now with my restored foreskin than before I started restoring.

Science Nordic: Male circumcision leads to a bad sex life
Circumcised men have more difficulties reaching orgasm, and their female partners experience more vaginal pains and an inferior sex life. The clear-cut conclusion of a new Danish research article is that if a man is circumcised, he faces an increased risk of experiencing delayed orgasm and his female partner has an increased risk of not feeling sexually fulfilled. “Circumcised men are three times as likely to experience a frequent inability to reach an orgasm,” says one of the researchers.

Stop the Cut: AAP: Need to Re-Do Circumcision Rises, Reasons Unclear
An unexplained increase in the number of revision circumcisions has pediatric urologists wondering whether the finding is real and, if so, what caused it.
