Reviews of the scientific literature conclude that male circumcision has no adverse effects on sexual function. This should be welcome news to the overwhelming majority of U.S. adult males who are circumcised.<\/em><\/p>\n

In a country where slightly more than three-quarters of all adult men are circumcised, it\u2019s hardly surprising that questions might arise about the effects of circumcision on sexual function and satisfaction.<\/p>\n

If you are in the majority of American men, you can heave a sigh of relief. The past decade has produced two exhaustive reviews of the scientific literature about this very subject. One was conducted by a couple of researchers based in Australia, while the other was the work of a team of Chinese scholars at that country\u2019s Sichuan University in Chengdu.<\/p>\n

Both Reach Same Conclusion<\/h3>\n

Both reach essentially the same conclusion: Male circumcision has no adverse effect on sexual function or sensitivity.<\/p>\n

And on the plus side, consider that there is a growing argument for male circumcision as a way to reduce the threat of contracting and\/or spreading sexually transmitted diseases, including the human immunodeficiency virus, or HIV.<\/p>\n

Sichuan University Review<\/h3>\n

The Chinese review was conducted by researchers associated with the urology and cardiology departments at Sichuan University\u2019s West China Hospital. Its findings were published in the September 2013 issue of the Asian Journal of Andrology<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Chinese research team identified 10 relevant studies that between them compared the sexual function and satisfaction of 9,317 circumcised men with those of 9,423 uncircumcised men. These men were compared in terms of sexual desire, premature ejaculation, ejaculation latency time, erectile dysfunction, and orgasm difficulties.<\/p>\n

The Chinese team\u2019s evaluation of data from these studies led it to conclude that \u201ccircumcision is unlikely to adversely affect male sexual functions.\u201d However, the Chinese researchers did call for further study to ensure that their findings hold up under closer scrutiny.<\/p>\n

Australian Review<\/h3>\n

Published only a couple of months after the Chinese review was a somewhat broader and perhaps more conclusive study conducted by two researchers at Australia\u2019s University of Sydney. Both were associated with the university\u2019s School of Medical Sciences.<\/p>\n

The duo analyzed data from 36 relevant studies that covered a total of 40,473 men — 20,931 of them circumcised and 19,542 uncircumcised. Like their Chinese counterparts, the Australian researchers compared all of these men in terms of various sexual criteria.<\/p>\n

No Significant Differences<\/h3>\n

They found no significant differences between the two groups in terms of penile sensitivity, erectile function, orgasm, pleasure or pain upon penetration, premature ejaculation, sexual sensation, sexual arousal, and sexual satisfaction.<\/p>\n

In the conclusion to their study, published in the November 2013 issue of The Journal of Sexual Medicine<\/em><\/a>, the researchers said, \u201cThe highest-quality studies suggest that medical male circumcision has no adverse effect on sexual function, sensitivity, sexual sensation, or satisfaction.\u201d<\/p>\n
