When I was at medical school, a close friend took me aside one evening and told me something I’ve never forgotten. He could feel nothing during sex.
Here was an articulate young man in his 20s, close to tears, telling me that something most men never think twice about had been taken from him before he could even speak. Because he’d been circumcised as a baby.
Around the time he confided in me, he’d just got his first girlfriend and found himself suddenly confronted with the problem, with no idea what to do about it. He wasn’t expecting me to fix it.
