Circumcision is a subtraction, not an addition.
For every nerve cell which is removed, there is less sensation. Logically, how could it be otherwise?
A Canadian pathologist showed that about 20,000 nerves are lost in the average circumcision. Circumcised men can say what they want, and they do, but they can't know what it is like to sense with all of the genitalia nature gave them. Circumcision is wrong on so many levels, ethically, biologically, medically, legally, that it is hard to count. If you don't think so, start thinking about the inherent sexism. What do you think of someone who advocates sexual surgery on female genitals? If someone advocated removing 20,000 nerves from a baby girl, everyone would scream it was wrong. With a boy, in the US, hardly anyone thinks twice. It is just what people do. They do it, because they think they've always done it, and because a medical industry which makes a billion a year keeps finding excuses to collect the money. Sensation? Of course it is lost. How could it be otherwise?
