#48 β Circumcision and What We've Lost π§ βοΈπ§¬
Description
This episode is a doozyβand one of the most eye-opening conversations Iβve had on Men and Sex.
I sat down with a deeply informed anonymous guest, a man who has dedicated himself to understanding the full impact of circumcisionβphysically, emotionally, sexually, and culturally. And he came ready to share what most people never hear.
We dive into:
π Why do we circumcise? Religious tradition, cultural habits, and outdated medical myths
π The truth behind the so-called βhealth benefitsββand why countries like the U.S. circumcise 80% of boys while Europe is under 20%
π What we actually lose in the process: sensitivity, function, and trust in our own bodies
π₯ How circumcision is tied to erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, and delayed ejaculation
𧬠What is keratinization and meiosisβand how they affect your pleasure
π Real steps men can take toward foreskin restorationβyes, it's a thing, and itβs been around for decades
πΈ The billion-dollar industry behind it allβfrom the selling of foreskin to the explosion of lube and ED meds
We also ask:
β Why is this not called male genital mutilationβwhile the same practice in other cultures is?
β Why are men so unaware of the lingering impacts of this one early trauma?
If you're a man whoβs ever wondered why your sexuality feels off, limited, or numbedβthis episode could be the missing piece.
π§ Listen nowβand prepare to rethink everything you thought you knew about your body.
