While foreskin restoration can replace this protective covering,<br />
merely stretching the skin cannot restore the special<br />
orgasmic triggers and glands that were cut and eliminated.<br />
Especially the very sensitive frenulum.<br />
The frenulum is the connecting tissue of the foreskin and<br />
shaft. Structurally, it is similar to the frenulum that connects<br />
the tongue to the base of the mouth. In the same way that<br />
the frenulum controls the tongue, researchers believe the penile<br />
frenulum controls thrusting. It’s on the underside of the<br />
shaft, or on top of an erect penis when a man is lying on his<br />
back. It, too, is highly enervated, erogenous tissue.<br />
“Often only a remnant of the frenulum is left after circumcision,<br />
if it is not also removed,” says anti-circumcision crusader<br />
Marilyn Milos. “Many circumcised men consider it their<br />
‘G-spot,’ but only because their ‘G-area,’ the ridged band and<br />
frenular delta, has been removed.” 10<br />
During sex, there is a way to compensate for that loss, Jeff<br />
O’Hara found. “The ridged band of the foreskin and the skin of<br />
the nipples are comprised of the same specialized nerve tissue<br />
called ‘rete ridges.’ Nipple skin abounds with Meissner’s<br />
corpuscles (erotically responsive, touch-sensitive nerves),<br />
like those found in the foreskin and frenulum.<br />
“The design of the natural penis<br />
indicates that nature intended for<br />
pleasure and orgasm to be induced<br />
by actions taking place mostly in the<br />
upper area of the penis.”<br />
“When you have your partner twiddle your nipples during intercourse,<br />
combined with the increased pleasure experienced<br />
after restoration, I reckon that it heightens your sexual feelings<br />
to those experienced by the genitally intact man when<br />
his penis alone is stimulated during intercourse.... During this<br />
activity, the levels of ecstasy are so magnificent, I don’t feel<br />
cheated in any way, even though I’m missing the nerves of<br />
the ridged ban.”<br />
Her personal experiences 11 and comparisons led to attempts<br />
to discover if she was alone in her feelings. She wasn’t! Surveys<br />
of about 138 women showed that almost all of them<br />
prefer natural sex. It was the difference between not being<br />
able to get enough and, “There, that’ll hold you for a few<br />
days.” Sitcoms spend a lot of time on male jokes about pursuing<br />
sex in the face of expected feminine refusal because it<br />
reflects the situation in the real world, she says.<br />
Women in their twenties are often gung ho, regardless; in<br />
their thirties, it’s okay, she says, but much beyond that age<br />
their interest falls off with their lessening vaginal lubrication<br />
and the built-up resentment of sex that too often has been<br />
uncomfortable and unsatisfying.<br />
Female partners of circumcised men become aroused, crave<br />
the sensation of penetration, and enjoy orgasm just as much<br />
as partners of intact men. But they express dissatisfaction<br />
with the overall experience of sexual relations. Kristen was no<br />
different. She loved her husband and they were compatible,<br />
but their relationship wasn’t good sexually.<br />
“Our love lacked depth,” she writes, “the kind of depth that<br />
exists when a couple has a deeply satisfying, exquisitely delicious,<br />
sensuous, sexual interconnectedness.” Because sex<br />
with Jeff was annoying, even though desired, Kristen drifted<br />
back into her uncircumcised lover’s bed.<br />
“During our rendezvous, I couldn’t help but notice that his<br />
penis felt much more sensuous inside me; it felt infinitely better,<br />
deliciously better, indescribably better.<br />
“In characterizing the differences…I would say<br />
the circumcised experience is like being repeatedly<br />
penetrated in an annoying way, even<br />
though simultaneously there is pleasure. And<br />
the penis feels too hard, almost foreign-like—<br />
you want it, but don’t want it, at the same time,<br />
driven onward only in hopes of achieving orgasm, the sooner<br />
the better. Whereas, with natural, the vagina totally surrenders<br />
to the soft sensuousness of lingering ecstasy, as it hungrily<br />
caresses and lovingly responds to the erotic movements of the<br />
softly-stiff penis, and the penis adores and gently strokes the<br />
vagina in return.<br />
“Like two halves of a perfect whole, each organ swoons and<br />
sighs to a passionate intermingling…<br />
Sex as Nature Intended It came about after Kristen O’Hara<br />
experienced both natural and circumcised sex and tried to<br />
make sense of the difference. While happily married to Jeff,<br />
she came to realize that foreskin is what’s missing in millions<br />
of bedrooms across America—bedrooms where sex is unfulfilling,<br />
uncomfortable, and/or avoided.<br />
“With no holding back, you TOTALLY want it, you TOTALLY<br />
need it, and you TOTALLY love it.”<br />
One explanation: Since the natural penis tends to stay more<br />
deeply embedded in the vagina using short strokes, it brings<br />
the man’s pubic area in frequent contact with the woman’s<br />
clitoral mound, allowing her clitoris to be pressure-pleasured<br />
more often and at a consistent rhythmical rate throughout<br />
much of intercourse.<br />
