The long term benefits from circumcision are:
- Easier penis hygiene
- Lower risk of urinary tract infections
- Lower risk of sexually transmitted infections (STI/STD) - however, this is not a replacement for safe sex with condoms
- lower risk of cancer of the penis
Circumcision does not affect erection quality or fertility.
The glans (head of the penis) may become less sensitive as compared to before circumcision. This may reduce sexual pleasure. On the other hand, some men may find that this helps them control their ejaculations better, leading to improve sexual satisfaction.
