>> My view is that the more I expose it, the quicker the insensitivity (or a "dryish superficial layer" as you said Ad) will form.
>Well, you're quite right there with that concept, but I just don't necessarily see the need. I'd like to know how you go simply with good attention to lubrication.
>It's worked fine before as you point out, so it should continue to do so if you simply take due care. And if you asked your ladyfriend how she managed with her "hypersensitivity" due to her "hidden" clitoris, and proposed she needed to "keep it retracted" to "fix" that, what do you suppose she'd tell you?

Beyond any need for supposition, sensitivity within the interior of the vagina was studied carefully and extensively, and thoroughly discussed by Masters & Johnson in their Human Sexual Response (1966), a classic report that is still accepted 36 years after publication.

>One of the substantial advantages for a woman to have an uncircumcised partner for intercourse is after all, the extra sensitivity that allows him to detect when lubrication is insufficient, rather than plunging on oblivious.

Personal experience has taught me that my bare glans is sufficiently sensitive that I can detect the existing degree of lubrication and work with my partner toward mutually satisfying orgasms, never 'plunging on oblivious' (an unappealing thought).

>(Unfortunately, yes this does tend to be lost when using a condom and in which case, with a spot of lubricant inside the condom, the "excess" sensitivity should also disappear).
