M, obviously there is a problem with your boyfriend's foreskin. Unfortunately a lot of professionals do not either have experience or, like some that frequent this forum, have a moral objection to "self-mutilation". I ran into similar barriers when trying to resolve the problem I had with my foreskin/penis, in that it's very difficult on and offline to get an objective opinion on this topic. As someone who has been there, I would suggest that you read the website that hosts this forum (link at the top of the page). It's got an abundance of materials, articles, and accounts from men that have been through similar situations.

As I say, I've been there, and have written an FAQ at Circ FAQ. I've answered all the questions I had about getting a circumcision and what's it's like now. However, I'd just like to say - yes, as his urologist suggested, he will lose sensitivity at the top of the foreskin. This reason for this is obvious - because the top of the foreskin would no longer be there. It is also not there to prevent access to the gland itself and it also not there to prevent the glide action and subsequent stimulation from that. A lot of people (who mostly don't have a circ themselves) will say it's essential to keep the foreskin because it's erotic (they say the same about the frenulum too), but from my experience that are 100% wrong. It's like peeling a banana to get to the good stuff.
