    Different types of circumcision?

    Hey folks;

    Was recently thinking about how there are different kinds of circumcisions by the looks of things.

    Some men seem to have more loose skin than others; like some seem to have a bit of skin that bunches up behind the head whilst others are tight and smooth. Some men have less of that pinky sensitive skin behind the head than others. And for some men they have scars that look like battle wounds whilst others have nice, neat, straight scars.

    I was curious if these differences make any impact to sex life? Which kinda version do people tend to prefer and why?

    Tight & smooth here. I'd say that is more a function of the sugeon performing the circumcism and the fact that no penis is ever the same (similar to vaginas).

    I have never had a prefernce about the appearance of a vagina. My only preference is that it is shared with me regularly.

      I have a bit of skin behind the head but everything is tight and smooth upon full erection. I have read that circumcision reduces sensitivity some what but I have never seen a study about it with testing to indicate the level of sensitivity versus a control group.
      I have but one lamp by which my feet are guided, and that is the lamp of experience.
