There is a bad news for Men who have circumcised penis as Belgium Scientists have claimed that circumcised penis (penis with removed foreskin) has less sensitiveness in the bed as against to uncircumcised peers.

According to scientists of Ghent University Hospital who have conducted this study through survey on 1,369 men over the age of 18, who responded to leaflets handed out in train stations across Belgium.

According to Daily mail report, which has publish the inference of this study, those who've had their foreskin removed as children or adults experience less intense sexual pleasure and orgasm than their peers.

"We're not saying less sexual activity or satisfaction, but sensitivity," senior author Dr Piet Hoebeke, from Ghent University Hospital, said.

Circumcision is common in Muslims and Judaism and also in some other communities.

British doctors said that although it can reduce the risk of some types of infection, the risks associated with routine circumcision outweigh any potential benefits.

The latest study was based on the survey conducted over 1,369 men over the age of 18, who responded to leaflets handed out in train stations across Belgium.

The men were asked whether they were circumcised, and were then asked to rate how sensitive their penis was, how intense their orgasms were and whether they experience any pain or numbness when they are aroused.

Overall, 310 men who took the survey were circumcised, and 1,059 were not.

Each rated how sensitive their penis was on a scale from 0 to five, with higher numbers being the most sensitive.

Uncircumcised men reported an average sensitivity score of 3.72 when they or their partner stroked the head of their manhood compared to 3.31 amongst circumcised men.

Uncircumcised men also reported more intense orgasms.

One possible explanation for any potential difference in sensitivity is that a man's foreskin may protect his penis's head from rubbing against underwear and clothing.

The researchers wrote that it's possible that friction makes the head of the penis thicker, drier and ultimately less sensitive.

The researchers also found circumcised men were more likely to report more pain and numbness during arousal than un circumcised men, which Dr Hoebeke said is likely due to scar tissue.
