Ask QC: If I Get Circumcized, Will Masturbation Still Feel the Same?

Hi Ask QC,

I’m 23, and my penis is uncut. If I get an erection my foreskin will naturally cover 4/5 of the head of my penis. But it can flip all the way back, though. And the head of my penis is extremely sensitive, so I usually masturbate with my foreskin on.
If I get circumcised, would it feel the same to masturbate? Or does it need time to process?

Thanks,

Cut Curious

Hi Cut Curious. Thank you so much for your question and concerns. Honestly, this is a question that a lot of us are going to have a hard time answering, just because we either got circumcised very young or remain uncut (and so have obviously never been circumcised. I think you’re right that there’s obviously going to be some healing time required, and I would imagine that the sensation is probably going to change. There’ve always been rumors flying around that foreskin is like the male version of a clitoris, so getting circumcised could lead to decreased sensation. I don’t know though; I’m not a doctor. So, QCitizens, does anyone have any experience in this area? Better yet, are any of you doctors? What advice do you have? Where are the foreskin experts among us?
