Over 98 per cent of circumcised men report the same levels of sexual satisfaction and performance as uncircumscribed men, according to an article published in BJU International.

Circumcision is recommended as an efficient way to reduce HIV transmission, but previous trials found conflicting results.

"Other studies have already shown that being able to reassure men that the procedure won't affect sexual satisfaction or performance makes them much more likely to be circumcised," says coauthor Professor Ronald Gray from the Bloomberg School of Health at Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, USA.
