Removal of the foreskin covering the head of the penis is a practice that occurs in cultures around the world. Originated male circumcision probably already about 220,000 years ago in Africa. The reasons for circumcision<\/a> are on the one hand culturally religious or ritually motivated (Brit Mila in Judaism or Chitan in Islam), on the other hand there are also medical and aesthetic motives.<\/p>\n

But the idea that women prefer circumcised male partners also has a long history. For example, sometimes the prevailing opinion is that circumcised men “last longer” during intercourse and are thus better able to satisfy their female partners.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The article<\/a> “Sex and Male Circumcision: Women\u2019s Preferences Across Different Cultures and Countries: A Systematic Review,” recently published in the journal Sexual Medicine,<\/em> looked at the question of how women feel about circumcised penises and why they prefer circumcised or uncircumcised men.<\/p>\n

To this end, the researchers also wanted to know how women view the circumcision of their own sons.<\/p>\n

They analyzed 29 studies that dealt with circumcision in various countries around the world. The data came from various countries in North America, Europe, Australia, Asia and Africa.<\/p>\n

The authors found that the “vast majority of studies” concluded that women prefer circumcised penises.<\/strong>\u00a0 Even in countries where circumcision was not the norm, a majority of women found circumcised men more attractive.<\/p>\n

Why do women prefer circumcised partners?<\/h2>\n

The reasons given for many women’s preference for circumcised men varied widely. Women perceive a circumcised penis as more hygienic<\/strong> and aesthetic<\/strong>: the penis is cleaner, “more pleasant to touch” and smells better. In addition, women also stated that they were more satisfied sexually<\/strong> with a circumcised man. But health reasons<\/strong> were also cited: Women associated circumcised penises with a reduced risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including HIV.<\/p>\n

Mothers also tended to have their children circumcised when it came to their own sons. Here, too, a lower risk of disease and improved hygiene played a major role. In addition, there are tradition, religion and the social norm of the respective cultural area.<\/p>\n

More than sociocultural preference<\/h2>\n

The authors conclude that women’s preference for a circumcised male partner is more than just a sociocultural preference, especially with regard to a lower risk of infection with sexually transmitted diseases.<\/p>\n
