I don't think they get smaller, but the angle of their erections is quite likely to change.

Circumcision is an interesting one. From my experience (which is more limited than the filthy-minded among you would expect) circumcised penises are less sensitive than uncircumcised penises. Apparently my conclusion is fairly accurate, since I am told that gay men - who have a sample size at least an order of magnitude larger than mine - come to the same conclusion. Cut the skin, cut the pleasure.

Now, religious considerations aside, is this form of genital mutilation actually acceptable?

Ben

Nope. Not at all.

All my three sons had it done at age 6 - they had very narrow foreskins and got very sore. I've no idea if it's made any difference - I could ask them though. There's no problem with that in our family.

My elder brother almost was circumcised as a baby cos nobody told my mum to wash his foreskin, and it got infected. Obviously medical reasons are acceptable, but otherwise I'd still say no chance.

Really? The angle changes???? *Kosh trys to work out why that would be - gravity? Use? Parts generally shifting as the body does with age . . . *
Interesting . . . .

Speaking of angles though - this is annother contributing factor to the pleasurability of a member. My ex-husband was conciderably "angled" which resulted in continual "wear" that lead to all sorts of health complications to the point where I just couldn't bear the thought of doing anything with him. Angle is thus a real concideration in a long-term sexual relationship.

Him indoors is a roundhead, again because his mother didn't know how to wash him properly. He does think it's less sensitive now. Personally I prefer cavaliers, but don't tell him that.

"He does think it's less sensitive now"

What ON EARTH is his frame of reference?

B

Are you *sure* you want to ask KA that? She might tell you!

Ben

Comparison with the reports of sensitivity from other blokes, next question?

Or you could be losing your touch.

B

In that case so's he

Talking about angles. How do I put it gently that it's no fun when he saws away at my episiotomy?

There is always the 'Golden Shot' approach -

... left a bit ... right a bit ... up a bit ... down a bit ... yes - there!

Then you could always say "um, darling, that's a bit tender".

I am a great believer in clarity in bed. I'm just so grateful for instructions on how to operate a body that I don't know from the inside, that I assume that my partner will be to.

It ain't what you say, it's the way that you say it!

Ben

I'd probably go for 'you know that isn't the most sensitive bit of me inside - that is...' and point him in the right direction.

Circumsicion:

The gay men I know (about 5 of them, who all used to get drunk together and talk about sex *a LOT*) seemed to find that 'cut' was far less sensitive and far more difficult to work than 'uncut'. In fact the way to work a cut penis was to use lube for mutal mastubation.

I asked them why once, and they showed me clips of two porn films demonstrating the difference in sexual technique needed.

Um, if he's hitting the perineum then I believe my response would be 'One or the other, not both. Pick one'.

if you dont let on what youre not enjoying they probably think theyre doing it right....

Which is the best reason for not faking orgasms that I know.

Ben

I've never faked an orgasm I dont see the point..usually just make it known from the outset that im awkward and most likely wont have one..id hate any one to take my difficulty personally..

I appreciate any advice I am given if it benefits both of us
