As an answer to: Partial circ - just take the lot? written by Paul B. at 15 May 2002 00:56:29:

Sorry, PaulB, I had to pick you up on just a few errors and such you made:

>A "partial" circumcision is a somewhat deceptive term. Probably a more correct term is a "loose" circumcision, as it leaves some of the foreskin

A more correct term would be "partial circumcision". A more pleasant term would be "foreskin trimming".

>If you really, really want to go for surgery, you want a "dorsal slit" or "preputioplasty" which latter is simply a dorsal slit designed to look totally "natural".

I doubt that anyone really "wants" to have surgery, PaulB. Sometimes it's just neccessary.

>But your difficulty would be to find a surgeon who is competent to do this, rather than a "standard" mutilative (ablative) procedure.

Hardly, PaulB, ask any doctor and they will tell you that a dorsal slit etc are extremely common solutions for resolving similar conditions.

>Surgery is for the impatient - hey, if you're impatient, then sexual sensitivity doesn't matter to you anyway!

The loss of "sexual sensitivity" is extremely tiny (if at all), and is usually offset by having a functioning, pain free penis which allows direct stimulation of the goods.
