His and Her Health

Why are so many women finding difficulty climaxing? It's all over public forums & health sites. I have a thought. Brace yourselves for this:<P>Have you considered circumcision?<P>So, you think I'm crazy? You think I'm suggesting you cut off your organs like what's done in Egypt, Sudan ... etc?<P>No. I'm feeling quite sane & I'm not advocating female genital mutilation.<P>What I'm talking about is a traditional Islamic practice (though, not obligatory) that involves removal of the prepuce (clitoral hood). This is not the horrifying culture-origined stuff that is practiced in most African countries but it's natural that you should think that it is because there is a lot of confusion between Sunna circumcision & the amputation practices which are actually forbidden in Islam (clitorectomy, infibulation ... etc). There are certain anti-Islamic media sources that happily promote this confusion by writing about the monstrous incidents in Egypt and titling their articles as "Islam's hatred of the clitoris" rather than something like "Africa's hatred of the clitoris", thus blaming all other Islamic countries for the crime of a minority.<P>Now, about Sunni circumcision:<P>If anyone were to suggest an Islamic tradition, there would be outcries of rage due to the confusion mentioned above.<P>BUT If I were to ask:<P>"Have you considered sexual enhancement surgery?"<P>Then I might pique your curiosity. There are surgeons in Western countries performing the Sunna circumcision under the guise of "hoodectomy". I don't blame them for using this scientific name, because anti-Islamic media would bash them if they didn't keep a low profile.<P>So, check out a pro-circumcision site and look at the comments of women who have had this procedure. <BR>"Reports on hood removals on of fifteen women, and provides a list of four conditions for when the surgery would be indicated: “a) they could achieve orgasm only by masturbation and/or oral sex, b) they could have orgasm in the lateral or female-superior positions only, c) they stated, “it feels good, I get there, but suddenly it’s over.â€

I personally would not be in favor of this for the same reason that I am not in favor of boys being circumcised. The hood is there for protection against the irritations of clothing and cold weather. Over time I think the irritations on an exposed glans would make it less sensitive.

And as a male with an intact foreskin, I can say I'm very happy with it and I think it enhances my experience. The foreskin itself has sensations that I presume would be completely unknown to men circumcised at birth. Probably a good thing they don't know what they're missing.

I completely disagree. Difficulty having orgasms is more often the results of psychological factors than physical. Just read this board if you don't believe me. More importantly, I agree with the previous poster who said the foreskin, or clitoral hood, can enhance the experience. In fact, many women, including myself, do not like direct stimulation to the clitoris, but orgasm more easily with indirect stimulation.

do you know that guys who aren't circumsized have more feeling and sensetivity then guys who are. it would make a little less sense to circumsize a women is, chances are, it would do the same thing as if does to men. either that or they would be getting off from there clothing and walking and then there would be no use to guys. i think they have problems climaxing because a) its a weird feeling to orgasm for a women. either that or they just aren't into it. thats my problem anywyas. i'm not sure if thats for everyone. but i don't agree with that idea. sorry

Yes, it is my understanding as well that circumcised men experienced significantly reduced sexual sensation.

This entire topic is making me feel faint.

Thanks for the responses. I was referring to females here, but since most of you are talking about sensitivity for males: <BR>I hope you looked at both sides of the story and the experiences of people who had it done later in life (so they can compare). You can find plenty of pro & anti articles by Googling:<BR>"circumcised" "more-sensitive"<BR>"circumcised" "less-sensitive"<BR>Look at both before coming to a conclusion. From my personal experience, I'd like to add one thing:<BR>Being circumcised means that I don't enjoy dry stimulation & thus it will be just as much in my interest as my partner's to make sure she's properly aroused/lubricated. I see a lot of posts of women complaining that not enough foreplay is one of the reasons for lack of satisfaction.

Also, regarding women:<BR>I was making this conclusion after reading both pro & anti articles, not just from logical reasoning. Always READ both sides & read between the lines & make your own decisions, people. Apparently I can't link to those pages in this forum, but try Googling:<P>for Pro:<BR>"hoodectomy" "enhanced"<P>for Anti:<BR>All I could find opposing hoodectomy were confusing it with clitorectomy or worse, so I have nothing to put here.<BR>

I would have to agree that it is more a psychological problem than physical, and add me to the group that is keeping theirs!<P>Maryan

alright, just to say to your comments up above. it would enhance for a while but then there would be the chance that you would get use to it. therefore stimulation would be inadiqueit after. there is only so much of one thing you can take until it gets to be a common everyday thing. the reason it is being compared to the mens circumsision is because it is alot alike. think or it from other prespectives. i would not have that done, it sounds disturbing. there may be good pros (apparently suppose to enhance) but i'm happy right now how i am thank you

I am fully in agreement with Sinick with regard to the issue of female circumcision as advocated by Islam, which is the removal of the prepuce of the clitoris and nothing more. I know of several previously uncircumcised women who have considerably benefited from this little procedure which is known as hoodectomy. Not only have they reported greater cleanliness in this vital area, and less irritations and urinary tract infections, but also greater sexual pleasure during the sex act, and particularly during oral sex. Just check out the many websites on the subject of hoodectomy and form your own opinion about it. Trust me, it really works and my wife will certainly vouch for this.
