That's a difficult question. Most people are circumcised at a young age, so most don't get to experience sexual pleasure both ways. The number of men who do is low. You would probably need to ask them.
Now, it's commonly thought that it has less sensitivity because it is "unprotected" by it s natural sheath. This may or may not be true.
Also, there are other ways to reduce sensitivity, if that's what you're looking for, without going to such an extreme body modification.
However, you do you, only you know what makes sense for you.
This theory is just straight up weird to me. If I remove some outer layers of skin, are the exposed layers going to be less sensitive? Of course not, it would have completely the opposite effect. Maybe there's some actual scientific research to back up the idea, but on the surface it sounds about as well thought out as someone trying to explain why vaccinations are "bad".
Agreed. It seems to mostly be a popular theory with men who are mildly obsessed with banning circumcision and "regaining what has been taken from them" like those guys trying to "regrow" their foreskin with weights and pulleys.
Yo what the fuck
