Circumcision status not as important as happiness, study finds.
Originally Published 2 years ago — by PsyPost
A new study published in the Archives of Sexual Behavior suggests that a man's circumcision status does not significantly impact his sexual functioning. However, those who are happier with their circumcision status tend to have a more positive view of their genitals and are less likely to feel anxious about exposing their body. The study recruited participants from different forums on Reddit and found that happiness with circumcision status, but not circumcision status itself, predicted better male genital self-image and less avoidance of body exposure during sexual activities. The study's recruitment method via Reddit may have resulted in a sample that is not representative of the general population.
