Does Circumcision Help With Premature Ejaculation?

Premature ejaculation is a common problem but one that is rarely spoken about due to its embarrassing nature. There are also lots of old wives tales surrounding the subject and lots of remedies being sold that are supposed ‘to make you last longer in bed’. Is there any truth in these myths.

One of the causes of premature ejaculation (PE) is oversensitivity. When a man is circumcised a lot of the nerve endings are removed with the foreskin. This will reduce sensitivity so it could be a solution for those men who are over sensitive, however a word of warning it doesn’t necessarily increase the time it would take for you to ejaculate it would just mean it doesn’t feel so good!

Scientific studies have shown that there is no significant different in ejaculation time between circumcised and uncircumcised men. Out of 255 men who took part in the study 20 percent answered that their level of satisfaction in sex fell after circumcision, compared with 6 percent who said the level rose. The remaining 74 percent said no change was seen after circumcision. For circumcised men, their average time to reach orgasm was 11 minutes. For those who have not undergone circumcision, the average time was 13 minutes. Source - The Hankyoreh

Circumcision is usually a religious right of passage or is sometimes performed for other health reasons. To have the operation as an older male can be extremely painful and you could suffer from other side effects that can not be cured as easily as premature ejaculation

Premature ejaculation is usually a temporary problem so a permanent operation id a drastic solution – if it is a solution! You would be better to exhaust other cure methods before going down this road.
