Preserving Member Sensitivity after Adult Circumcision

For most men, the decision to become circumcised is made for them, well before they are old enough to have any idea of what the procedure means. But for some men, adult circumcision might become necessary or preferable. Sometimes a man will practice the best manhood care only to discover that something is wrong that needs to be corrected, such as a too-tight prepuce or other medical condition. And still others might choose that they want to undergo adult circumcision for aesthetic reasons. Whatever the reason, men should carefully weigh what adult circumcision means when it comes to member sensitivity and health.

The circumcision debate

In any discussion of male circumcision, there is bound to be a lot of disagreement. Yes, there are advantages to circumcision, including a lower risk of manhood cancer or urinary tract infections, less risk of transmission of certain socially-shared diseases, and a lower incidence of redness or inflammation of the skin, particularly the glans.

However, some will debate that any man can face these problems, and that circumcision isn’t nearly as impressive as it might seem when it comes to the medical literature. There is even some question about member sensitivity, and whether an intact manhood is really more sensitive than a circumcised one. Some studies suggest that the idea of a more sensitive manhood comes from cultural ideals and anecdotal evidence, but not from any verifiable difference in one manhood over another.

Adult circumcision procedures

Whatever side of the debate a man falls on, sometimes adult circumcision becomes inevitable. For those who have certain medical conditions, circumcision might be a necessity. For those who are converting to a religion that requires circumcision, it might be seen as a necessity as well. And of course, there are men who simply want their manhood to look a certain way, and circumcision might be a quick way to make that happen.

Regardless of the reason, there are several ways a man can go about adult circumcision:

1. In some cases, the prepuce can be removed by separating it gently from the manhood head, cutting a small slit in the prepuce, and applying a clamp for a few minutes. When the bleeding has stopped, the doctor can then proceed to remove the prepuce completely.
2. In other cases, a doctor might use a ‘bell method.’ This includes using the clamp, but instead of then cutting through the skin, the doctor applies a small plastic bell that will stay on the prepuce for a certain length of time. This helps the prepuce fall off naturally.
3. Other types of prepuce removal might include various surgical procedures; this depends on what kind of medical condition might have sent the man to the doctor for the adult circumcision in the first place.

Preserving member sensitivity

After the circumcision is performed, a man should follow his doctor’s instructions exactly. This usually includes keeping the area very clean, keeping it covered with an appropriate gauze dressing, and understanding what the drainage from the healing wound should look like. A guy who has any signs of infection, excessive bleeding or serious pain should go back to the doctor to get checked out.

After the manhood has healed, a man can take control of improving member sensitivity with the use of a specially formulated male organ health crème (health professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil, which is clinically proven mild and safe for skin). Look for a crème that includes vitamin B5 for maintenance of healthy tissue, L-arginine for increased blood flow (and thus better healing) and vitamin D for healthy cell function. But the most important ingredient is L-carnitine, an amino acid known for fighting peripheral nerve damage and keeping the member sensitivity in tip-top shape.
