Although the circumcision It is a common practice in some parts of the world, in Latin America it is not. Hence, when a man is practiced or in private we discover that he has it. It is unavoidable to ask How does circumcision affect sex?
It is curious that a procedure that originally had a religious perspective, today is a feature of sex appeal. But before delving into its effect on a man’s “performance”, it is necessary to know more about what it is.

What is circumcision and what is it for?
In popular jargon they describe it as “take the skin off.” It doesn’t sound good, but it resembles what it is. According to the Instituto Mayo Clinic, the circumcision It is the surgical removal of the skin that covers the tip of the penis (prepuce).
The main reasons why it is done are religious or cultural. However, it has health advantages: hygiene simpler, some boys find it difficult to wash the penis under the foreskin.
Others benefits of circumcision is that there is a lower chance of experiencing a urinary infection. It is also estimated that it reduces the risk of contracting a sexually transmitted infection. Eye! It does not avoid them, the only thing that does is the use of a condom.
Does circumcision have any impact on sexual life?
There are some beliefs around cutting the foreskin of the penis, exposing the glans penis. Some of them is that the member will look bigger, longer or the sexual potency improves. The reality is that it is not.
Urologist Ana María Autrán, from the American Confederation of Urology, points out that there is nothing to prove the above. Men may experience more sensitivity because the tip of the penis is uncovered. However, the shape of ejaculate or the pleasure of a man with or without circumcision is the same.
On the other hand, if you are considering this intervention, it is important that you take into account that while the penis adapts to its new condition, it may suffer irritation from friction from clothing and dryness because the member is exposed.

When should a circumcision be done?
Putting aside religious reasons, medically there are no grounds for carrying out this practice, with the exception of the following conditions:
1- Phimosis. This condition originates when the foreskin is very narrow, so it cannot slide.
2- Paraphimosis. It occurs when the foreskin has slipped completely but cannot go back into place.
3- Balanitis. There is a large swelling that prevents the movement of the foreskinIt is usually caused by an infection due to poor hygiene.
The circumcision It is a procedure that is usually performed mainly in childhood, the reason is that in adulthood it is more painful. It should be noted that it should be an intervention that the man could choose, since it is his body, and if you are thinking about it, we invite you to consult with a health expert.
