"Adult male circumcision does not adversely affect sexual satisfaction or clinically significant function in men."

I've never completely understood this. How do you measure pleasure? An intact man doesn't know how sex feels to a cut man (unless he got circumcised as an adult) and a cut man doesn't know what sex feels like to an intact man. If we want to say the pleasure is from sensory nerves there's more in the foreskin... alot more. Plus, how can you truly measure pleasure in a person? Someone may outwardly show alot of pleasure, but someone else might feel more pleasure but are more inward and shows less. I think that whole argument is very flawed.

Well, in the study mentioned above, they took 4500(ish) uncircumcised men and circumcised half of them.  Then they asked them if they noticed a difference.  But yes, among men who have experienced both, some report no difference, some report less pleasure, some report more pleasure.  That's the thing with being human.  We're so damned variable.  ;)
