We have all seen posts of men not understanding women's anatomy. How have you experienced this the other way?

For instance, My wife confidently told me that men who jerk off a lot actually stretch the skin of their penises permanently. If that were the case, mine would be looped around my waist.

Yes, I am aware of Jelqing, it doesn't work. That is not what she was referencing.

I have several times experienced women (non-penis-havers) giving definitive statements of how circumcision affects a man's experience of sex. It was especially ironic because they were telling me that my (circumcised penis-haver's) experience was wrong.

I’m circumcised and my glans is the least sensitive flesh on my entire body.

Given how many nerve endings are contained in a foreskin and in a glans I’m pretty confident it has affected my experience of sex.

Same, but I've learned not to say so in public, lest the flying monkeys of the pro-circumcision crowd swoop in to call me a liar and heap verbal abuse on me.

I'm actually glad that my sensitivity is reduced, as I am sure that I would have premature ejaculation issues if I still had a foreskin.

I'm pretty sure that's not how it works, based on what my friend (who's gay and has experience with far more penises than me) has told me. But aside from that, can I ask why you feel the need to say this? It's a really common reply which changes nothing about my experience, so I always have to wonder what it's about.

Hmmm just relating my thoughts on being circumcised and why I think it was potentially a good thing for me. Don't get me wrong, I am not for circumcision, it's an unnatural and unnecessary thing that we should stop doing.

Gotcha. Thanks for the answer!
