SEXIS WRONG

study comparing male and female genitalia revealed that
highly erogenous tissue equivalent to the female clitoris is
located in the core of the penis throughout the entire length
of the shaft. Only the foreskin is positioned to stimulate it by
natural massaging action.
The circumcised man has to reach for equivalent stimulation
in an awkward, unnatural way. Sometimes he has difficulty
reaching orgasm. Other times he may not be able to extend
intercourse more than a few seconds. In either case, his female
partner suffers.
“It is important to understand how muscular contractions can
bring on orgasm because the intact (natural) man and the circumcised
man induce them differently,” the O’Haras write.
“[T]he means they use to create these contractions affect
their thrusting movements and rhythms.
“The design of the natural penis indicates that nature intended
for pleasure and orgasm to be induced by actions taking
place mostly in the upper area of the penis. However, for
the circumcised penis, the upper penis mechanisms and responses
have been drastically altered and do not function the
way nature intended. Consequently, the circumcised male is
left to improvise alternative or supplementary
means to attain orgasm. It is use of these odd
varieties or orgasm-building (pleasure seeking)
techniques that causes him to thrust much differently
from the intact man, and which his female
partner finds frustrating and disrupting to her pleasuring
needs.”
And sometimes downright painful.
Marsha Goudreau (name disguised), a Michigan woman
whose late husband of more than twenty years was uncircumcised,
later experienced sex with circumcised men and
said she now knows her husband’s foreskin was a blessing
for both of them.
“The nice thing that happens is that the gliding back and
forth stimulates the head of the penis without irritating it,”
she says. 6 “The shaft moves in and out of that glove, which
pleasures the woman without painful friction. And if you’re
not having intercourse for some reason, the foreskin makes a
handjob a lot easier.”
In technical terms: “Mucosal surfaces of the glans and foreskin
move back and forth across the mucosal surfaces of the
labia and vagina, providing nontraumantic sexual stimulation
for both male and female.
“This mucous membrane-to-mucous membrane contact provides
natural lubrication necessary for sexual relations and
prevents both the dryness responsible for painful intercourse
and the chafing and abrasions which allow entry of sexually
transmitted diseases, both viral and bacterial.” 7
Yet couples with a circumcised man need not despair. Foreskin
restoration offers reparations. Re-covered glans will
soften again. Jeff O’Hara’s message for circumcised men:
“Restoring your foreskin is the best thing that’s going to happen
to you in this lifetime.”
Kristen’s message: “From the woman’s sexual perspective,
the restored penis is virtually equivalent to the natural penis
in every respect.”
There are surgical and nonsurgical methods of restoration.
O’Hara opted for a graft of skin from his scrotum. It has the
advantage of having muscle tissue that’s able to provide the
thrill of stretch upon erection. Nonsurgical restoration involves
pulling what is left of flaccid skin at the base of the penis
when it is not erect, to stretch it. Several simple devices
have been invented for this purpose. 8 One consists simply of
taping drawn-up skin, with a clip attached to the end of the
tape and a tugging force applied by an elastic band around
the waist.
Circumcised men have lost
considerable sensory tissue.
Important nerve endings—gone.
“It’s cheap and works well enough,” says David Steinburg
(name disguised) from his home in the Midwest. “While
there’s still a ways to go, there is no question that the regrowth
of some skin has made a real difference in feeling,
and I can only imagine what it must be like for those fortunate
enough to have avoided circumcision in the first place.”
Ron Low of Chicago thought taping lacked something in elegance,
so he invented a cone-shaped attachment that pulls
naturally after skin is inserted. Obversion, the tendency of
skin to roll back, keeps it in place. Low says one can expect
to add about one inch per year if the tugger is worn twelve
hours a day. His progress with his TLC Tugger is documented
on his website [tlctugger.com]. Low says he’s sold more than
2,000 with “nothing but positive feedback.”

Whatever the method, the object is to restore enough skin to
cover the glans of the relaxed penis, such as happens naturally
when the penis is uncircumcised. Complete coverage,
which the O’Haras advise, allows the penis to maintain its
naturally moist, softly stiff characteristic. (The glans of a circumcised
penis is continually exposed, and as a result, can
