Good morning Donald,
Thank you for your interest in what we do. Your questions are entirely normal. but can only respond “if done by an expert”…
Large studies involving cohorts of 20,000 men who had circumcision and those who did not (Kaiser Permanente Clinic) have shown no difference in sensation on average. We see premature ejaculation (a sign of heightened sexual excitement) in circumcised as well as uncircumcised men.
Sex drive relates usually to testosterone levels and if you are a youngster, you will be putting in your regards for decades on a regular basis. It is no secret most women (certainly a majority) prefer circumcised men (“cleaner”).
We have performed over 6000 cosmetic circumcisions in the past 35 years and usually do several cases every week.
This is your circumcision and we do it the way you want with respect to 4 parameters.
Please don’t be like the patient who writes: “Dr. Reed I just got circumcised two days ago and my result was not what i expected. I was wondering when i recover can i get a consultation with you.” Photos sent and received (unspoken comment “disaster zone”)
Be assured we will show you every courtesy,
With kindest regards,
Harold M. Reed, M.D.
