Sensualtivity

Page last updated 14th October 2009 

Sensitivity or Sensualtivity?

What do we expect to 'feel' from our sexual organs ether as male or female?

The answer has to be that of a pleasurable sensation, one that we will want to repeat again and again throughout our life.  That is natures way of ensuring the species on this planet survive, if sex was not a pleasure what would drive any creature to have sex and thus continue the species?

Unfortunately the human animal is so obsessed with it's own importance that it will invent ways of controlling or influencing others, Male Genital Mutilation (circumcision) being one such control device.

Jews and Muslims practice MGM as a human blood sacrifice, purity or identity mark of their religion and culture, originally as a tribal identity.  Countries such as the USA and Canada adopted the practice as a means of reducing sexual pleasure as drive to stop masturbation.  The inventor of Kellogs cornflakes advocated MGM as a punishment for boys that were caught masturbating.  Unfortunately the USA is not only stubborn about this form of child abuse, it actively promotes it within countries such as Africa.  Canada is less culturally suppressed and so there is a fast decline in the practice.

So MGM does degrade sexual feeling and there is a desperate search by some to find a reason to continue the abuse.  Let us also take note that money is made from circumcision and it is a very lucrative business either in private practice or government funded.  Even ritual circumcisers are paid for their services one way or another.

We can in some instances restore enough penile skin to form a new foreskin that will behave similar to, but, never the same as the one that was amputated.

The question on everyone's lips regarding foreskin restoration is will I get a more sensitive penis?  The answer is probably yes!

We need to look carefully into what we mean by sensitivity and where we expect to feel it.

A cut or graze on our skin is sensitive and one stage further is downright painful.  Sore gums are often described as 'sensitive' along with teeth that react to sugar or hot and cold, but, none of these sensitive situations give us pleasure.  So do we want sensitive or sensual feelings?

What we want and would get from an intact penis would be feelings of pleasure, sensitive to stimulation that gives pleasurable sensations, those sensations being 'sensual' in nature.  Could the feelings we want to get back be better described as SENSUAL?  Could we better describe those sensitive and sensual feelings by a new word Sensualtivity?

The Glans

We know that the glans is an internal organ that has been forced to be EXTERNAL.  We also know that it is tissue known as 'mucosa', meaning tissue inside the body so if we revert this tissue to being internal once again it will regain some of it's natural functions including that of feelings.

The glans is mainly a friction stimulated organ and has been used to a high friction existence on clothes, pubic hair and rough sex (masturbation, vaginal, anal, oral).  The glans has spent it's life dry when it should have been continually moist.  Covering the glans and keeping it moist will make it more sensitive and make the feelings from it more sensual.  It will gain 'sensualtivity'.

Inner Foreskin

This tissue is again mucosa and like all mucosal tissue is devoid of hair, is soft and pliable.  The inner foreskin starts just under the coronal ridge of the glans and merges into external shaft skin at the tip of the flaccid penis forming an opening just in front of the glans.  This skin keeps the glans protected from stimulation as it hugs the glans of the flaccid penis, it also keeps the glans moist.  The foreskin being a double fold of very mobile skin has a unique way of protecting its own inner layer and the surface of the glans, both are cushioned and insulated from friction by the soft tissue between the two layers of skin.  The foreskin inner layer is full of stimulatory nerves and is sensitive to temperature and pressure.  When the foreskin is amputated in 'circumcision' it is estimated that 15,000 to 20,000 nerve endings are lost that is contained within the amputated skin.  During sex the feelings from the inner foreskin react with those from the glans to give feelings of pleasure.

Ridge Bands (Frenar Bands)

The ridge bands are not a separate structure but an area of the foreskin which forms the opening and junction between the inner and outer foreskin.  In this area are some constrictive fibrous tissue under the skin which act as an elasticated area to keep the foreskin closed in front of the glans.  At the area of the ridge bands on the inner foreskin are specialist receptors that give sensation when they are stretched  as the foreskin moves over the glans during retraction.  Moving the foreskin back and forth over the glans by hand is a method of masterbation and a lot of stimulation will come from the repeated expansion and contraction of the ridge band tissue.

Outer Foreskin

The outer foreskin is simply an extension of the shaft skin of the penis and combined with the inner foreskin forms a double fold of very mobile skin.  The hair on the shaft skin rapidly changes from the course pubic hair to fine, short and straight hair; the further up the shaft (away from the pubic area) towards the inner foreskin you look it will be noticed that the hair becomes so fine that it looks hairless.  Through 'circumcision' this skin is amputated leaving the skin nearer to the base of the penis which often creates what many circumcised males refer to as 'hairy shaft skin'.  This will be an irritant to the vagina as it is abrasive to the delicate vaginal tissue; couple this with the extended time and more vigorous sex of the circumcised male and vaginal discomfort is common.  This abrasive sex is thought to make the female partner more susceptible to 'thrush', an irritating yeast infection.  The 'gliding' action of a penis that is intact as it moves within the 'slack' created by the ample foreskin prevents female dryness and frictional soreness.

Mutilation (circumcision) types and life stage

Circumcision means to 'cut round' and can be regarded in polite terms as 'circumcision' if done to an adult that has consented or for medical necessity.  If done to a child it is a mutilation and sexual abuse as it removes healthy and functional tissue without consent of the child or the adult the child will become.  It is almost impossible to justify drastic measures such as amputating the foreskin to a baby on medical grounds and the medical justification only becomes slightly more as the child gets older.  The facts are clear that there are effective ways of treating problems with the foreskin that does not involve it's amputation so make the case for 'circumcision' almost negligible.  The amputation of the foreskin of a child (circumcision) is in fact Male Genital Mutilation (MGM).

There is a wide variation in the 'style' and 'type' of circumcision.  Style and type can be one of the same or used to distinguish certain features of what the penis looks like after the amputation (style) or the method of amputation (type).

This does have a bearing on the sensations felt by the male during sex because it affects the way the penis responds after its mutilation.

The great problem of baby 'circumcision' is that the penis is so tiny that it is almost impossible to give any certainty to the outcome in relation to how it will look or function.  Another problem with a baby or child is that the foreskin is very long to start with and often will have a very long 'trunk' like appearance hence the term redundant foreskin.  Of course there is no such thing as 'redundancy' of a child's foreskin as the penis grows into this extra length as he grows to maturity.  This feature of long foreskin in infancy is probably natures way of achieving two things.

1 - Keeping any infectious material away from the glans and urinary opening by this long overhang of skin.

2 - Ensuring that the glans are protected from stimulation during early years to curb adult like sexual desires for female penetration.  The long foreskin ensures coverage all of the time, even during erections and gives ample means of masturbation if the child feels a sexual need.  This will give such a lot of pleasure and obviate the need for a female coupling which would probably give less pleasure at that stage of life.  'Circumcised' children are more aware of their sexuality as they are continuously being stimulated as would the intact child that has a short foreskin which would be subject to unintended exposure from time to time.

When all growth has stopped it is then easy to predict the outcome of foreskin amputation for three reasons.

a) - There is a fully developed organ that will not change in size due to growth.

b) - The penis is larger so it is easy to decide what is to be removed or left and where.

c) - The owner of the penis can report on what he considers to be desirable for his own mental and/or physical preference.

Possible styles are largely based on the amount of skin amputated and what proportions of inner or outer foreskin are left remaining.  At one extreme all of the inner foreskin and frenulum is removed and the shaft skin stitched under the coronal ridge of the glans.  At the other extreme all of the inner foreskin is retained and only shaft skin is removed and that can lead to the erect penis being covered with inner foreskin most of it's length, the frenulum can be retained or amputated.  Up to 3 feet (900mm) of blood vessels can be lost to circumcision but it is possible to retain all the major blood vessels in an adult circumcision.  These details are not open to a baby mutilation and not practical for children.

Types of MGM can be a reference to the method used, scalpel (freehand), shield, plastibel, or gomo clamp are the main methods used.  The first two are methods producing a cut edge as in any surgical operation but others are so called 'bloodless' methods that use the crushing force of two surfaces to make the tissue fuse together through sheer mechanical force.  Blood vessels, nerve fibres and tissue are simply crushed and sealed, the amputation is made on the 'dead' side of the crush line, it is a very primitive method.  

Mechanical Damage

It is perhaps obvious that the amputation of delicate tissue from the penis will cause mechanical damage but the extent and way in which it is caused may not be so obvious.

When a baby is circumcised the first step has to be to free the inner foreskin from the surface of the glans as it is unlikely to separate for some weeks or even up to 5 years.  This is done by forcing a blunt probe between the foreskin and the glans to rip the skin from the glans surface, this inevitably leads to the glans being raw and loosing body fluid or blood.  Infections because of this first step are a great danger and beside the mechanical damage there is more damage if an infection does set in.  This damage can be slight or seriously denude the sensitivity of the remaining tissue, in all cases there is damage of some degree.

Brain Perception & 'Threshold Theory'

Let us consider here the case of those who suffer constant pain of one part of the body or multiple parts, how do they cope with constant pain.

One common source of pain is in the lower back area of the spine.  Damage to the spine (often commonly referred to as a 'slipped disk') causing a disk to prolapse, the sponge like interior bulges the tough wall of the damaged disk and so bruises the nerves exiting the spine to various parts of the abdomen, most commonly the legs.  Great pain can be experienced as far down the leg as the foot, this is known as referred pain.

Many sufferers get all their relief from strong pain killing drugs whilst others do gentle exercise to strengthen the muscles that control the spine and alter their lifestyle to manage the pain by more natural means.  This latter approach means only when the pain becomes unbearable do they take sometimes moderate pain relief such as paracetamol.  In this case what appears to happen is that what becomes a normal level of pain is regarded by the brain as something to be rejected, background stimulation; a threshold is set up in the brain and only pain stimulation that rises near to or above that threshold is felt to any conscious extent.

A similar threshold would be set up in the brain of the circumcised male with the constant stimulation of clothes etc.  Add to this the other forms of damage like dry skin, the circumcision damage to the glans and the loss of the inner foreskin and it is clear to anyone with a thinking brain that a great deal of damage has been done.

The circumcision of any child without unavoidable medical need is an abuse of human rights of the child and the adult the child will become.  It is a barbaric act of sexual abuse which degrades and shames any society that allows it.
