As fewer and fewer parents choose to have their sons circumcised, this is going to be a
more common concern. Luckily, there is really not much difference between having sex with
an uncircumcised or a circumcised man. When an uncircumcised man becomes erect, the foreskin
generally pulls back and his penis looks and functions no differently.
Probably the only vital distinction is that it is important to pull the foreskin back when
putting on a condom. Otherwise the condom could wind up on the inside of the foreskin, which
would reduce sensitivity and effectiveness and also be rather uncomfortable.
The other situation in which it is good to be aware of the difference is during oral sex (fellatio)
and manual stimulation ("hand jobs"). Some uncircumcised men prefer that the foreskin slide over the
head of the penis during various forms of sexual stimulation. Other men prefer that their partner pull
back the foreskin while stimulating them. It may also vary by type of sensation, so that the same man
who likes his foreskin pulled back during oral sex may not want that with manual stimulation. As with
most sexual situations, the best idea is to ask your boyfriend what he likes.
