A total of 196 individuals (168 women, 28 men) currently in a sexual relationship with a man were recruited for an online survey. Sexual functioning for female or male participants (assessed by the FSFI or IIEF-MSM, respectively) was not impacted by circumcision status, but women with intact partners reported higher levels of sexual satisfaction, while no differences were observed in the male sample. Women's responses indicated that circumcision status minimally impacted satisfaction with partner's genitals, while men with intact partners indicated significantly higher levels of satisfaction than those with circumcised partners. Overall, women and men rated high levels of satisfaction with their partner's circumcision status and did not wish for it to change. Women indicated a slight preference for circumcised penises for vaginal intercourse and fellatio, and held more positive beliefs about circumcised penises, while men indicated a strong preference toward intact penises for all sexual activities assessed and held more positive beliefs about intact penises. The current study demonstrates distinct gender differences in attitudes toward circumcision status but minimal impact of circumcision status on sexual functioning. Future research should further explore sexual correlates of circumcision status, with a focus on directionality of said correlates and the impact on couples, as well as replicating the findings with a larger sample, specifically with respect to the male sample. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
