Circumcision

Transcript

Male orgasm is completely unaffected by circumcision (as, by the way, female orgasm is unaffected by circumcision), so women who actually have genital mutilation and lose their clitoris actually have orgasm (very well documented) because there’s this identification that HIV is found in men who are uncircumcised. There’s been a major effort, millions and millions of men in Africa are undergoing circumcision in a very organized prospective way. We’re actually asking these men if they’re pre and post orgasmic and all of sexual function is changing because of their circumcision. And we find in large population studies, it is not changing. So the concept that circumcision and not being circumcised has any influence on sexual dysfunction is actually being shown to not be associated.
