			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A <a title="Blowjobs 101: What Your Man Secretly Wishes You Knew About Oral Sex… Blow His Mind Tonight Book Review" href="http://www.askdanandjennifer.com/sex-intimacy/oral-sex-videos-tips/blowjob-how-to-oral-sex-101-book-review/">blowjob</a> should be different for an uncircumcised guy &#8211; you&#8217;re not necessarily going to use the same blowjob tips for an uncircumcised guy as you would a circumcised one. Your technique should differ a little between the two, if you really want to be a master at giving a blowjob. So here&#8217;s what you need to know if he&#8217;s uncut.</p>
<h3>Getting Clean &#8211; It&#8217;s His Job</h3>
<p>Most of the care for an uncircumcised penis is in the man’s court – that is to say, it is his responsibility to keep his <a title="10 Things You Didn’t Know About Penises" href="http://www.askdanandjennifer.com/sex-intimacy/sex-tips-advice/10-things-you-didnt-know-about-penises/">penis</a>, foreskin and underneath his foreskin clean and dry for your comfort during <a title="How To Give Great Head: Top 3 Steps To Follow In Mastering The Art Of Fellatio" href="http://www.askdanandjennifer.com/sex-intimacy/oral-sex-videos-tips/how-to-give-great-head-top-3-steps-to-follow-in-mastering-the-art-of-fellatio/">fellatio</a>.  An uncircumcised penis has more crevices in which debris and bacteria can hide, making it unpleasant for the woman during fellatio.  By making sure that his penis is clean, an uncircumcised male can ensure that his partner will enjoy fellatio as much as he does.</p>
<p>Most men already do this &#8211; and have been from a young age. However, some uncircumcised guys don&#8217;t &#8211; and that can make things pretty unpleasant for the girl. If your guy isn&#8217;t super clean, you can always make a shower part of foreplay and make washing his penis sexy. Soap him up and rub him down while you talk dirty in his ear &#8211; you&#8217;ll fire him up for a great blowjob and get him clean in one fell swoop, without him ever knowing what you were really up to.</p>
<h3>Being A Little More Careful</h3>
<p>Of course, the woman must keep her end of the bargain up as well – even if his uncircumcised penis is clean, trimmed and ready to go, she must be more careful with her fellatio technique than she would if she were performing fellatio on a circumcised male.  Why is that?  Remember, a circumcised penis has had thousands and thousands of sensitive nerve endings removed.  As a result, although a circumcised penis is very receptive to touch, it is more desensitized than an uncircumcised penis.  A man will never know the difference, since he is either one or the other, but a woman that has been performing fellatio on a circumcised penis is used to stronger, more direct strokes. It is very important that for an uncircumcised man, a woman use less direct strokes and a softer approach.</p>
<p>So it is safe to say that the fellatio technique used on a circumcised male is a lot rougher than the technique that would be used on an uncircumcised male.  A woman performing fellatio on an uncircumcised penis needs to be especially careful <a title="Q&amp;A: How To Avoid Using Your Teeth During A Blowjob (Video)" href="http://www.askdanandjennifer.com/sex-intimacy/oral-sex-videos-tips/qa-how-to-avoid-using-your-teeth-during-a-blowjob/">not to scrape her teeth on her partner’s penis</a> or suck too hard – the foreskin is so sensitive to these maneuvers that a stroke that is too hard or rough may turn him off at best and cause him pain at worst.</p>
<p>As long as the female is gentle and the penis is clean, fellatio on an uncircumcised male can be a pleasant experience for both the man and the woman!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a title="Why Men Love Oral Sex" href="http://www.askdanandjennifer.com/sex-intimacy/oral-sex-videos-tips/why-men-love-oral-sex/">Oral sex</a> is the same from guy to guy, right? Wrong! If he&#8217;s uncircumcised, you need to have a few more tricks up your sleeve. It&#8217;s not <em>that </em>different (if you&#8217;ve never done it before, you&#8217;re still likely to rock the guy&#8217;s world, even if you don&#8217;t know what you&#8217;re doing). However, if you want to <em>really </em>be a pro at giving head, here&#8217;s what to do if he&#8217;s uncut.</p>
<h3>Have A Shower First</h3>
<p>Of course, having your man shower before oral sex is a pretty good idea whether he&#8217;s circumcised or not. However, if he&#8217;s uncut, you&#8217;re <em>really </em>going to want him to wash up first. The reason for this is that in between the head of his <a title="10 Things You Didn’t Know About Penises" href="http://www.askdanandjennifer.com/sex-intimacy/sex-tips-advice/10-things-you-didnt-know-about-penises/">penis</a> (called the glans) and the foreskin, there can be build up called &#8220;smegma.&#8221; Yeah, awesome name for it, right? This smegma is a white, cheesy like substance that has an odor (again, awesome!). It&#8217;s not harmful to you or your partner if you give him a blowjob before he&#8217;s cleaned himself up, but unless you&#8217;re pretty kinky, you&#8217;re not going to like it a bit.</p>
<p>What you <em>don&#8217;t </em>want to do is go down on him and tell him his penis stinks and to go wash it before you continue. That&#8217;s a mood killer if there ever was one. Work a shower into your <a title="Foreplay 101 for HIM" href="http://www.askdanandjennifer.com/sex-intimacy/foreplay-videos-tips/foreplay-101-for-him/">foreplay</a>. Tell him you want to see him wet and naked, and that you want to soap his body all up. Wash his penis for him. Make sure you do it lovingly and erotically &#8211; this is still part of the foreplay. If you&#8217;re scrubbing like you&#8217;ve got to get a stain out, you&#8217;re going to turn him off and washing that hard really isn&#8217;t necessary. Slide his foreskin back gently and wash his glans and his shaft. If his foreskin is slid back and stretched out, you should be able to clean it easily.</p>
<h3>Be Gentle!</h3>
<p>A circumcised man has about 10-20,000 less nerve endings than an uncircumcised male in the head of the penis. In a circumcised male, the glans (which is supposed to be wet, soft and tender like a <a title="Clitoris 101: 3 Things Men Need to Know about the Clitoris" href="http://www.askdanandjennifer.com/sex-intimacy/orgasm-videos-tips/clitoris-101-3-things-men-need-to-know-about-the-clitoris/">clitoris</a>) rubs up against underwear and clothing. It develops a tough outer skin, but has become very desensitized. Women who give head to circumcised men likely have to work a lot harder, because once a man is cut, those sensitive, orgasmic nerve endings are GONE!</p>
<p>So if your guy is lucky enough to still have those, you&#8217;re going to want to be very gentle. Something that might really get a cut guy off might hurt like hell for a sensitive uncircumcised fella! If in doubt, always ask. Don&#8217;t be afraid to say, &#8220;Hey, does this feel good? Are you enjoying this? What would you like better?&#8221;</p>
<h3>Insert The Tip Of Your Tongue Underneath The Foreskin</h3>
<p>Take your tongue and form it into a somewhat soft point. Stick it underneath the foreskin, against the head of his penis. Run it around in a circle, swishing your tongue over his entire glans, still while keeping it under the foreskin. This oral sex technique is incredible for him because not only does he get to feel your tongue on his sensitive glans, he also gets to feel it on the underside of his foreskin, where there are many more pleasurable nerve endings.</p>
<h3>Use Lube!</h3>
<p>An uncircumcised male isn&#8217;t used to having any &#8220;dryness&#8221; down there. You may think that because you&#8217;re giving him a blowjob, it&#8217;s really not going to be &#8220;dry&#8221; at all &#8211; which is true if you can produce enough saliva. When going down on an uncut guy, think &#8220;wetter is better.&#8221; If you can&#8217;t produce enough spit, consider using a flavored <a title="Sex Tip: Choosing The Best Lubricant For The Job (Video)" href="http://www.askdanandjennifer.com/sex-intimacy/sex-toys/sex-tip-choosing-the-best-lubricant-for-the-job/">lube</a> to keep things wet enough and going smoothly.</p>
<h3>When Using A Condom</h3>
<p>If you&#8217;re not in a monogamous relationship, or just want to have safer oral sex, consider using a <a title="Q&amp;A: Condoms – Magnum, Magnum XL, or XXL? (Video)" href="http://www.askdanandjennifer.com/sex-intimacy/sex-tips-advice/qa-condoms-magnum-magnum-xl-or-xxl-video/">condom</a>. Condoms can reduce the sensitivity a man feels during oral sex, so you need to be careful when you go to put it on. Make sure that he&#8217;s erect first (duh &#8211; a condom won&#8217;t go on if he&#8217;s not!) and that his foreskin is slid completely back, exposing the head of his glans. Hold the foreskin down at the base of his penis with one hand while you put on the condom with the other.</p>
<p>This ensures that the condom covers the actual sensitive part of his penis instead of covering the foreskin. If the condom is covering the foreskin and the foreskin is covering the head of his penis, how is he supposed to feel anything?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a title="Q&amp;A: Anger Over Circumcision (Video)" href="http://www.askdanandjennifer.com/sex-intimacy/censorship-sexual-repression/qa-anger-over-circumcision/">Circumcision</a> is a commonly performed surgery in the U.S. on male babies. As more and more information becomes available about circumcision and its after effects, less and less parents are electing to have this done on their male children. However, there are hundreds of thousands of boys and men out there that have been and continue to be circumcised. What happens when a boy becomes a man and decides he wants his foreskin? Can he get it back?</p>
<h3>Benefits Of Having An Intact Penis</h3>
<p>You might wonder why a man would decide, after being circumcised his whole life, would decide he wanted to have an intact penis. While the U.S. has made a circumcised penis the &#8220;social norm&#8221; over the years, circumcision surgery is actually not commonly performed in other parts of the world. Studies have shown that the procedure is extremely painful for male babies and carries a high risk of infection when the wound is exposed to urine and feces in a diaper.</p>
<p>Sexually, there are many benefits of having an intact penis. For example, the penis is much like the <a title="Clitoris 101: 3 Things Men Need to Know about the Clitoris" href="http://www.askdanandjennifer.com/sex-intimacy/orgasm-videos-tips/clitoris-101-3-things-men-need-to-know-about-the-clitoris/">clitoris</a> in how the tissue is. The tissues of both the head of the penis and the clitoris are moist and packed with hundreds of thousands of sensitive nerve endings. In a clitoris, the hood of the clitoris protects it from chafing, which can be extremely uncomfortable because the tissue is <em>so </em>sensitive. The foreskin (also called the prepuce) functions much the same way. It protects the moist head of the penis (called the glans) from chafing and when an uncircumcised man has an erection, the glans is exposed and he can experience sexual pleasure and <a title="How To Enhance Your Orgasm – For Men" href="http://www.askdanandjennifer.com/sex-intimacy/masturbation-how-to-masturbate/how-to-enhance-your-orgasm-for-men/">orgasm</a>.</p>
<p>So what happens to the glans once the penis has been circumcised? The exposed tissue rubs up against a diaper or clothing, chafing it. The glans is designed to stay moist, but without the foreskin, the skin of the glans dries out and becomes tough like the outer surface of the skin on a person&#8217;s arms. The sensitive nerve endings become less sensitive, and in some cases, a man is unable to achieve <a title="How To Delay Your Own Orgasm" href="http://www.askdanandjennifer.com/sex-intimacy/erectile-dysfunction-last-longer-in-bed/how-to-delay-your-own-orgasm/">climax</a> because the head of the penis has lost so much sensitivity due to being exposed to air and clothing instead of being protected by the foreskin.</p>
<h3>What Is Foreskin Restoration?</h3>
<p>Foreskin restoration is the process of restoring the prepuce on a circumcised penis. This can be done a number of different ways and although none of them provide a man with his <em>true </em>foreskin back, they help provide a protective covering over the glans so the penis can regain its sensitivity. Successful restoration will also provide a man with a natural, uncut looking penis. If successful, it would be very hard to tell the difference between a penis that has never been circumcised and circumcised penis that had underwent foreskin restoration. Men who have had this done report that sex and <a title="Why Men Love Oral Sex" href="http://www.askdanandjennifer.com/sex-intimacy/oral-sex-videos-tips/why-men-love-oral-sex/">oral sex</a> feel better.</p>
<h3>Non-Surgical Restoration Methods</h3>
<p>Non-surgical restoration methods are more popular than surgical restoration, simply because it is less invasive (a huge plus) and there isn&#8217;t any chance of infection or malformations after surgery. However, the drawback of non-surgical methods is that it takes a very long time for the foreskin to actually be restored. This can take several months or even years depending on the method used.</p>
<p>Basically what happens here is a device or tape is used to stretch the skin on the shaft of the penis up and over the glans. The device or tape will hold the skin there, allowing it to stretch. There are actually some devices made for this, such as the Dual Tension Restorer, that are available on the market for men to purchase. The stretching is usually done for several hours at a time and it is a similar concept to surgeons who use skin stretching techniques to create more skin to use for a graft. Studies show that stretching the skin stimulates a process known as mitosis, which will help regenerate new skin with similar properties of the old skin.</p>
<p>If you wish to restore your foreskin using a non-surgical stretching method, patience and determination are required. This is something you will need to be dedicated to, since it may take several months or even years to see results. However, with non-surgical methods, you are able to continue <a title="What’s The Best Time To Have Sex?" href="http://www.askdanandjennifer.com/sex-intimacy/sex-tips-advice/what%E2%80%99s-the-best-time-to-have-sex/">having sex</a> as you normally would.</p>
<h3>Artificial Foreskins</h3>
<p>Artificial foreskins are available for purchase as well, which are simply placed over the penis and help cover and protect the penis from chafing like a normal prepuce would. The most notable model is the SenSlip, which comes in a variety of sizes and natural looking colors. It is worn almost like a <a title="Q&amp;A: Condoms – Magnum, Magnum XL, or XXL? (Video)" href="http://www.askdanandjennifer.com/sex-intimacy/sex-tips-advice/qa-condoms-magnum-magnum-xl-or-xxl-video/">condom</a> would be, and can be moved back and forth just like a normal foreskin. This keeps the glans moist and protected, while still allowing the wearer to retract the device to use the restroom or to clean the penis. Manufacturers of the device report that after several weeks of wearing the SenSlip, sensitivity during sex is restored.</p>
<h3>Surgical Restoration Methods</h3>
<p>Surgical prepuce restoration is not desirable, but has immediate results. Unfortunately, procedures to surgically restore the foreskin leave undesirable results and are extremely invasive. The procedures are usually followed by pain, swelling, inability to have sex for an undetermined period of time and a significant risk of infection.</p>
<p>Usually what happens during a surgical foreskin restoration is a skin graft is removed from somewhere on the body (usually from the scrotum) and stitched on to the shaft of the penis, covering the glans.</p>
<h3>Foreskin Regeneration</h3>
<p>Regenerating the prepuce is a possibility, but not something routinely done in the medical community. This would be done surgically, under anesthesia. An incision would be made at the scar of the circumcision and the scar tissue would be surgically removed. After this, a special chemical solution would be applied to stimulate the <a title="Honestly, Does Penis Size Really Matter? (Video)" href="http://www.askdanandjennifer.com/sex-intimacy/sex-tips-advice/small-penis-size-honestly-does-it-really-matter-video/">penis</a> to regrow its own, true foreskin. Presently, this procedure has not yet reached the clinical trial phase.</p>
<h3>After Restoration</h3>
<p>Men who have had successful prepuce restorations report that not only are sex and <a title="Q&amp;A: I Feel No Relief When Masturbating – Am I Doing It Wrong? (Video)" href="http://www.askdanandjennifer.com/sex-intimacy/masturbation-how-to-masturbate/qa-i-feel-no-relief-when-masturbating-am-i-doing-it-wrong-video/">masturbation</a> better, but they also feel emotionally satisfied that they now have their foreskin back after having it taken from them without their consent as babies. It can give a man a sense of feeling like he&#8217;s gotten back something he&#8217;s lost. Female partners of men who have had this done are also pleased with the results, because sex feels better for them too.</p>
<h3>Rethinking Circumcision</h3>
<p>Choosing to be circumcised or having your child circumcised is a difficult decision to make. Ask your doctor questions, but remember that a circumcision is a completely elective procedure. It is not required and an uncircumcised penis will remain healthy and will function normally. Men who have been circumcised report:</p>
<ul>
<li>33% have prominent, noticeable scarring</li>
<li>27% had too much skin removed, making getting and keeping an <a title="Q&amp;A: Losing Erection When Masturbating: Is That Normal? (Video)" href="http://www.askdanandjennifer.com/sex-intimacy/masturbation-how-to-masturbate/qa-losing-erection-when-masturbating-video/">erection</a> uncomfortable or painful</li>
<li>16% report curvature of the penis due to an uneven amount of skin being removed</li>
</ul>
<p>If you&#8217;re considering circumcision, rethink it. Ask questions and get information. Whatever decision you make is up to you, but be sure you&#8217;re making an <em>informed </em>decision.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As more and more mothers choose not to circumcise their sons, men are growing up with intact penises and may wonder how it&#8217;s going to affect their <a title="Sex - Videos, Tips &amp; Advice" href="http://www.askdanandjennifer.com/sex-intimacy/">sex</a> life as they get older. Do women like uncircumcised penises or do they prefer circumcised ones? If you haven&#8217;t had a circumcision, should you get one when you start having sex?</p>
<blockquote><p>Question: Hey, I&#8217;m uncircumcised and have thought about getting circumcised before just because it looks better. Do girls find it more attractive?? That would probably be the only reason I would get circumcised. Is it worth it?</p>
<p>&#8211;YouTube Viewer</p></blockquote>

<h3>Do Girls Prefer Circumcised Penises?</h3>
<p>Every woman likes something different in the bedroom. Some women prefer the feel of an intact penis, while others simply like the way a circumcised penis looks. Some women feel that a circumcised penis is cleaner and feel more comfortable giving a man oral sex if he&#8217;s cut, while others simply don&#8217;t care. It&#8217;s impossible to know whether the majority of women like <a title="Is There A Sexual Difference Between Circumcised And Uncircumcised Men?" href="http://www.askdanandjennifer.com/sex-intimacy/sex-tips-advice/is-there-a-sexual-difference-between-circumcised-and-uncircumcised-men/">circumcised or uncircumcised penises</a>, because everyone likes their own things when it comes to sex and sexual preferences come in all colors and flavors. Don&#8217;t base your surgery decision on the myth that most women like circumcised penises because it&#8217;s simply not true. You never know &#8211; the love of your life may prefer intact penises!</p>
<h3>Please Her Other Ways</h3>
<p>Pleasing a woman during sex has very little to do with the size, shape and appearance of your penis and more to do with your skill in the bedroom. Make your woman feel beautiful, ravished, and satisfied with incredible orgasms and she probably won&#8217;t remember a thing about your penis size or shape, and she definitely won&#8217;t care if it&#8217;s cut or uncut! If you&#8217;re considering getting circumcised to please women in the bedroom, there are so many different and less drastic ways to satisfy her sexually. Learn to give her amazing orgasms by going down on her, or study up on the best positions for <a title="How To Give Her Mind Numbing, Leg Shaking Orgasms – The Female Orgasm Black Book Review" href="http://www.askdanandjennifer.com/sex-intimacy/sex-tips-advice/female-orgasm-black-book-review/">female orgasms</a>. Focus on her pleasure and make sure you&#8217;re giving her an incredible night. If you do, she&#8217;ll like your penis no matter what it looks like!</p>
<h3>Make The Choice For Yourself</h3>
<p>The most important thing when considering any kind of cosmetic surgery is to make sure you&#8217;re doing it for yourself. If you&#8217;re thinking about getting surgery because you want to please someone else in particular, or just want to look better for the opposite sex, you&#8217;re not going to be happy after the surgery. Make sure it&#8217;s something that you want, and you&#8217;re willing to take the risks in order to get it. With <a title="The Truth About Circumcision (Video)" href="http://www.askdanandjennifer.com/sex-intimacy/censorship-sexual-repression/the-truth-about-circumcision-video/">circumcision surgery</a>, you may have a loss of sensation afterwards or the surgeon could end up removing too much foreskin, causing erections to become tight and uncomfortable. Take into account the healing period as well and think about how long you&#8217;ll have to go without sex before your penis is ready to get back in the game. If you make the decision to get circumcised, make sure it&#8217;s what <em>you </em>want.</p>

<blockquote><p>Question: I had a baby boy 7 months ago (our third) and we didn&#8217;t get him circumcised. My question is, what so we need to know for teaching him about proper care when he gets older? I have looked it up and there is lots of contradicting information. Does he need to pull back the skin to clean it or not? Any other information about this issue would be great!!!  </p>

<h3>Never Forcibly Retract The Foreskin  </h3>
<p>When a boy is young, <a title="The Truth About Circumcision (Video)" href="http://www.askdanandjennifer.com/sex-intimacy/censorship-sexual-repression/the-truth-about-circumcision-video/">the foreskin</a> is fused to the head of his penis, called the glans, and won&#8217;t easily retract. This is completely normal and healthy. When cleaning a boy&#8217;s penis at this stage, it is imperative to <strong>never forcibly retract the foreskin. </strong>If it doesn&#8217;t move easily, don&#8217;t move it. Wash what you can see thoroughly with gentle soap and warm water during bathtime and with a wet wipe at diaper changes. Until the foreskin retracts on its own, there is nothing more that needs to be done at this stage to keep an intact penis clean.  </p>
<h3>When The Foreskin Retracts  </h3>
<p>The foreskin begins retracting easily at a different age for everyone. There is no set &#8220;age&#8221; when a foreskin begins retracting. Many people believe it is not until puberty, while others believe it is more in the toddler years. Some boys will retract as early as 3-18 months while others won&#8217;t retract until they&#8217;re adults. It varies from child to child. When the foreskin begins retracting, it is time to <a title="Q&amp;A: How Can You Tell If He’s Circumcised – Visually? (Video)" href="http://www.askdanandjennifer.com/sex-intimacy/sex-tips-advice/qa-how-can-you-tell-if-hes-circumcised-visually-video/">pull back the foreskin</a> during cleaning and rinse it with warm water. If your child is very young when this happens, this is something you will do until he is old enough to do it himself. The American Academy of Pediatrics suggests that &#8220;for the first few years, an occasional retraction with cleansing beneath is sufficient.&#8221; If he is older when his foreskin retracts, instruct him on how to pull the foreskin back himself and wash underneath it.  </p>
<h3>Keeping It Clean  </h3>
<p>An intact <a title="Sex Tips &amp; Advice" href="http://www.askdanandjennifer.com/sex-tips-advice/">penis</a> produces a good amount of a white, waxy substance called smegma underneath the foreskin. Smegma isn&#8217;t harmful at all, but it can cause a very strong odor to come from the penis. Washing gently underneath the foreskin is an important part of daily hygeine for boys and men. The American Academy of Pediatrics has published and regularly updates guidelines on how to care for a boy&#8217;s uncircumcised penis:  </p>
<p>If your son’s foreskin separates before he reaches puberty, an occasional retraction with cleansing beneath will do.</p>
<p>Once your son starts puberty, he should clean beneath his foreskin as part of his daily routine, just like washing his hair and brushing his teeth.  </p>
<p>Teach your son to clean his foreskin in the following way:</p>
<p>Step 1: Gently pull the foreskin back away from the end of the penis.</p>
<p>Step 2: Rinse underneath the foreskin with soap and warm water.</p>
<p>Step 3: Pull the foreskin back over the penis.</p>
<p><em>The American Academy of Pediatrics is an organization of 60,000 primary care pediatricians, pediatric medical suspecialists, and pediatric surgical specialists dedicated to the health, safety, and well-being of infants, children, adolescents, and young adults. </em></p>

There are, however, a few key features that a uncircumcised penis has that are different from a circumcised penis. Here&#8217;s how you can tell them apart.</p>
<blockquote><p>Question: How can someone tell they&#8217;re circumcised visually?</p>
<p>&#8211;YouTube Viewer</p></blockquote>

<h3>An Uncircumcised Penis</h3>
<p>An uncircumcised, or intact penis, has a few distinct characteristics that help identify it. An <a title="The Truth About Circumcision (Video)" href="http://www.askdanandjennifer.com/sex-intimacy/censorship-sexual-repression/the-truth-about-circumcision-video/">uncircumcised penis</a> has what is called a foreskin, which is a thin skin covering the head of the penis. In adult men, the foreskin retracts and is moveable, allowing it to slide over the head of the penis towards the base during an erection, completely exposing the glans. The foreskin then slides back into its normal position covering the head of the penis when it is not erect. Because the head of the penis is inside a protective covering, the skin of the glans is genrally very soft and moist. An intact penis produces a white, waxy substance underneath the foreskin called smegma, which is generally washed away during proper hygiene routines.</p>
<h3>A Circumcised Penis</h3>
<p>When the foreskin is removed from the penis during a <a title="Q&amp;A: Anger Over Circumcision (Video)" href="http://www.askdanandjennifer.com/sex-intimacy/censorship-sexual-repression/qa-anger-over-circumcision/">circumcision surgery</a>, the head of the penis is exposed to air and friction from underwear and clothes. While the glans is designed to be protected from friction by the foreskin, allowing the skin of the glans to stay supple, an uncircumcised penis must produce thicker skin cells in response to friction and air exposure. The head of a circumcised penis is dry and tough, much like the skin on your arm or other parts of your body that are exposed to the elements. A penis that is no longer intact has no foreskin, but most of the time the skin on the shaft of the penis will still move towards the head of the penis and back and generally won&#8217;t go over the head of the penis. In some circumcision cases, however, not enough skin is left after the surgery to allow for this movement. The most defining characteristic of a circumcised penis is the coronal ridge, or the ridge at the bottom of the head of the penis that separates it from the shaft. While uncircumcised men still have a coronal ridge, it is mostly hidden by the foreskin. The ridge is much more prominent on a circumcised male, and can be seen and felt easily.</p>
<h3>Circumcised vs. Uncircumcised</h3>
<p>Besides the way they look, there are quite a few differences between circumcised and uncircumcised penises. Penises with an intact foreskin have about 8,000 more nerve endings just within the <a title="The Skinny On Male Genital Piercings" href="http://www.askdanandjennifer.com/sex-intimacy/sex-tips-advice/the-skinny-on-male-genital-piercings/">foreskin</a>, making the penis much more sensitive and receptive to stimulation. Circumcised penises, however, do not have to be cleaned as thoroughly as an uncircumcised penis, as there is n0 skin to pull back and clean underneath. Both circumcised and uncircumcised penises vary in size, shape, length and thickness. Men with either type of penis are capable of having a satisfying sex life and pleasing their partners sexually.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>To circumcise or not to circumcise - it&#8217;s one of the hottest civil rights topics of the 21st century. Is <a title="The Truth About Circumcision (Video)" href="http://www.askdanandjennifer.com/sex-intimacy/censorship-sexual-repression/the-truth-about-circumcision-video/">circumcision</a> a necessary procedure, or is it genital mutilation? Are parents who get their sons circumcised taking away their sons&#8217; rights to choose? Circumcision is a permanent procedure &#8211; it&#8217;s not a decision that parents should make lightly.</p>
<blockquote><p>Question: I was circumcised when I was born because of my Dad&#8217;s stupid religious beliefs. I&#8217;m really angry about it knowing that I didn&#8217;t ask for it. I&#8217;ve read places that the foreskin is necessary for protection and stuff. What do you think about circumcision?</p>
<p>&#8211;YouTube Viewer</p></blockquote>

<h3>Is Circumcision Medically Necessary?</h3>
<p>Medically, circumcision is not a necessary procedure. Society has told us for years that an uncircumcised penis is &#8220;unclean&#8221; and can get infections. Thousands of years ago, when circumcision first became popular, the surgery may have helped keep a boy&#8217;s genitals cleaner due to the lack of clean, running water and proper hygeine habits. Even then, however, circumcision was never <em>necessary. </em>A boy who is not circumcised does not face any health issues relating to his foreskin as long as it is kept clean like any other part of our body. To clean an <a title="Is There A Sexual Difference Between Circumcised And Uncircumcised Men?" href="http://www.askdanandjennifer.com/sex-intimacy/sex-tips-advice/is-there-a-sexual-difference-between-circumcised-and-uncircumcised-men/">uncircumcised penis</a> on a young boy is easy &#8211; the foreskin is fused to the head of the penis and doesn&#8217;t separate until about age 7. Simply wash the penis with soap and water. When the foreskin becomes moveable, retract the foreskin from the head of the penis in the shower and again, wash with soap and water. This is generally all the care an uncircumcised penis needs to stay clean and healthy.</p>
<h3>Whose Body, Whose Rights?</h3>
<p>While many advocates of circumcision state that the child has no recollection of the pain of the procedure, that doesn&#8217;t change the end result. A child who is circumcised can never become uncircumcised, however, an uncircumcised male may choose to get the procedure later in life. While most body changing procedures, such as tattoos and breast augmentation, require the informed consent of the person being operated on or being tattooed, circumcision does not require the consent of the child, only the consent of the parents. Babies unfortunately can&#8217;t give informed consent for their <a title="The Skinny On Male Genital Piercings" href="http://www.askdanandjennifer.com/sex-intimacy/sex-tips-advice/the-skinny-on-male-genital-piercings/">genitals</a> to be operated on and their foreskin removed. They can&#8217;t tell you whether they would like to keep their foreskin or whether they would like to have it removed.</p>
<h3>Support For Circumcised Men</h3>
<p>If your parents had you circumcised due to their own religious or societal beliefs, you may be left wondering why you never had a say in how your genitals looked or felt. It&#8217;s normal to be upset when you realize what was taken away from you before you even had a choice about it. Some devices and surgeries exist claiming to help restore the foreskin, however, it can only stretch the skin on the shaft of the penis to make it appear as though you are uncircumcised. The nerves endings lost during the original circumcision can never be recreated. There are many support groups for circumcised men to deal with their feelings about having their rights taken away from them and many men choose to advocate for <a title="Censorship &amp; Sexual Repression" href="http://www.askdanandjennifer.com/sex-censorship-sexual-repression/">circumcision rights</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s the question on every mother&#8217;s mind these days &#8211; <a title="The Truth About Circumcision (Video)" href="http://www.askdanandjennifer.com/sex-intimacy/censorship-sexual-repression/the-truth-about-circumcision-video/">to circumcise or not to circumcise</a>. But it&#8217;s not just moms that are wondering how to handle a circumcised or uncircumcised penis, it&#8217;s sexually active women too. Many women have only experienced one or the other sexually, and don&#8217;t know the difference. Or is there a difference?</p>
<h3>Is It Different For The Guy?</h3>
<p>Yes. An uncircumcised man still has his foreskin (the soft flap of skin that covers the head of the penis when it is not erect) and a foreskin is jam packed with pleasure nerves much like a clitoris is. While men circumcised at a young age won&#8217;t ever know the difference, men who choose to get circumcised when they&#8217;re older report <a title="5 Mistakes To Avoid While Brushing Up On Your Oral Skills &amp; Learning How To Give Great Head" href="http://www.askdanandjennifer.com/sex-intimacy/sex-tips-advice/5-mistakes-to-avoid-while-brushing-up-on-your-oral-skills-learning-how-to-give-great-head/">decreased overall sensitivity</a>. That&#8217;s not to say that circumcised men don&#8217;t enjoy sex, because we all know they do! It&#8217;s just that anatomy-wise, an uncircumcised males simply have more physical pleasure receptors in their penis.</p>
<h3>Is It Different For The Girl?</h3>
<p>Now this is more of a matter of personal preference than actual fact. Some women prefer sex with circumcised males, while others prefer sex with uncircumcised men. Some women report that the coronal ridge around the base of the head of the penis on an circumcised man more directly <a title="Sex Tip: How To Find The G-Spot (Video)" href="http://www.askdanandjennifer.com/sex-intimacy/sex-tips-advice/sex-tip-how-to-find-the-g-spot-video/">stimulates the g-spot</a> as opposed to a coronal ridge that is partially covered by a foreskin in uncircumcised males. Other women feel that sex with an uncircumcised male provides more friction than their circumcised counterparts because of the extra skin, and sex is better that way. The way women feel about circumcision in general is very similar to the way they feel about penis size in general. Some women like &#8216;em small, some like &#8216;em large. Every penis is shaped differently, looks different, has a different color and is a different size. The only way to figure out if sex with a circumcised man feels different than having sex with an uncircumcised man is to figure it out for yourself!</p>
<h3>Why Are Boys Still Being Circumcised?</h3>
<p>Many parents are choosing to continue to circumcise their sons for religious or hygienic reasons. Uncircumcised males must learn how to properly clean underneath their foreskin once it becomes moveable (just after birth it is fused to the head of the penis for a short while) and this can be difficult for a small child to learn. Parents must often help with this, and many parents believe that a circumcised penis is more &#8220;clean&#8221; and hygienic. The opinions about circumcision range from those who believe it is a &#8220;barbaric&#8221; practice to those who suggest that remaining uncircumcised is extremely unhygienic. No one can make the decision for you though, and the decision to circumcise or not should be an informed one.</p>
<p>Whether you&#8217;ve had sex with an uncircumcised man or a circumcised man, both or neither, whether a man is cut or uncut isn&#8217;t a big deal. Don&#8217;t stress over it and <em>definitely </em>don&#8217;t make a big deal of it in front of your man. Just love the way he is! <a title="The C-Spot and G-Spot Orgasm Cocktail" href="http://www.askdanandjennifer.com/sex-intimacy/sex-tips-advice/the-c-spot-and-g-spot-orgasm-cocktail/">Sex is pleasurable</a> for a woman both ways, and just as pleasurable for a man too!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circumcision" target="_blank">Circumcision</a> is a hot topic these days &#8211; to have your child circumcised or not? That is the question &#8211; or perhaps the questions is do you want to be circumcised? About half of men are circumcised and the other half aren’t and there are a lot of myths surrounding circumcision, so here’s what you want to know &#8211; the truth!</p>
<blockquote><p>Dear Dan and Jennifer,</p>
<p>Some men are circumcised and some aren&#8217;t &#8211; should you get circumcised? Does it hurt? What&#8217;s the right age for circumcision? Will it improve sexual pleasure or increase the risk of getting STD&#8217;s? What&#8217;s the truth?</p>
<p>&#8211;Will, TX</p></blockquote>
<p> </p>
<h3>Religious Beliefs</h3>
<p>Circumcision actually stems from old religious beliefs, in the days where the lack of running water, soap and an abundance of sand and dirt made it difficult to keep a penis clean. Today’s families who do not have religious reasons to circumcise their children may still get their boys circumcised for cleanliness and even <a href="http://www.askdanandjennifer.com/sex-intimacy/the-long-and-short-of-penis-growth/">appearances</a>. It is true that a circumcised penis is easier to keep clean, but as a modern society, we have the ability to teach our children how to clean their genitals properly, circumcised or not. So what is circumcision, really?</p>
<h3>A Cosmetic Procedure</h3>
<p>Now that we have evolved as a society &#8211; you know, one with soap, running water and the whole works &#8211; there are no medical reasons that suggest not getting circumcised is harmful to a boy’s health. There are also no medical reasons suggesting that the final outcome of a circumcision is harmful, aside from pain and possible infections that may arise during the healing period. So essentially, a circumcision is a cosmetic procedure.</p>
<h3>Be Informed</h3>
<p>Before making the decision to circumcise your child, or to have your own penis circumcised, it is important to research the topic yourself. Be smart about it &#8211; don’t make the decision blindly, just because your father had it done, or you don’t want your child to look different from other boys in the locker room. Actually sit down and read the information available on circumcision &#8211; and there’s a lot of it &#8211; to make an informed decision for yourself.</p>
<h3>The Truth</h3>
<p>Does circumcision hurt? Yes! Babies and men who are circumcised are anesthetized during the procedure, but the healing period is quite painful for both babies and adults. Adults do have a reduced risk of post procedure infection however, as their fresh wounds aren’t sitting in a diaper all day, exposed to excrement. If you do have your child circumcised, ask your doctor how to best reduce the risk of infection and how to keep your child’s wound clean in spite of the fact that a diaper must be worn and the wound will be exposed to urine and feces. Does circumcision increase or decrease the risk of contracting <a href="http://www.askdanandjennifer.com/sex-intimacy/sex-tips-advice/safe-sex-can-that-clear-fluid-really-get-me-pregnant-video/">sexually transmitted diseases</a>? No! Does circumcision increase sexual pleasure? No &#8211; in fact, it can do just the opposite. The foreskin that is removed from the penis is packed with nerve endings that are extremely responsive to sexual pleasure in the same way that a woman’s clitoris is. So it’s safe to say that uncircumcised men do, in fact, have greater sexual reception than circumcised men.</p>
<p>If your religious beliefs or morals mitigate getting circumcised or having your child circumcised, go for it! But think about it first &#8211; what would your child say if he could choose? How many men have been circumcised only to learn later in life that they’ve lost a part of their anatomy that could have given them greater <a href="http://www.askdanandjennifer.com/sex-intimacy/sex-tips-advice/cant-have-an-orgasm-through-any-means-but-intercourse-video/">sexual pleasure</a> &#8211; and they never had a choice about it? When it comes to circumcision, just think about it first!</p>
