Post-Circumcision Sensitivity and Sexual Orientation Questions - Urology

excuse me?


Hello Doctor: I would like to ask a few questions.

ANS1: After my circumcision, I feel that my glans has become more sensitive while sleeping.
It's been a week without ejaculation, and sometimes I find myself ejaculating in the middle of the night.
Should I be ejaculating regularly?
ANS2: When I masturbate, I use a supplementary tool and squeeze my nipples, which seems to increase my pleasure.
Is it normal for men to make moaning sounds during this?
ANS3: How can I distinguish if I am homosexual? I have questioned my sexuality because when I see a man with his upper body exposed, I find myself getting an erection involuntarily.
Additionally, during sexual arousal, I recall the person who was just exposed.
However, I also feel excited when watching adult films.
I want to get married and have children.

It sounds like there are no issues.
It's important to honestly confront your feelings, whether they are towards the same sex, bisexuality, or concerns about regular ejaculation.
My only advice is as follows: relax and don't constantly focus on sexual matters.
Don't treat it as an outlet for seeking stimulation; excessive focus on sexuality can indicate a loss of balance in life.
Overall, this is definitely not good for your physical and mental health.
Once you address these issues, they will resolve themselves.

More Info


After circumcision, it is common for individuals to experience increased sensitivity in the glans (the head of the penis). This heightened sensitivity can lead to various sensations, including spontaneous erections or even ejaculation during sleep, which is often referred to as nocturnal emissions or "wet dreams." This phenomenon is particularly common in the weeks following circumcision as the glans adjusts to being exposed after having been covered by the foreskin for a significant period.

Regarding your question about the frequency of ejaculation, it is not strictly necessary to ejaculate regularly after circumcision. However, some men find that regular ejaculation can help alleviate sensitivity over time. This is because frequent ejaculation may help desensitize the glans, making sexual activity more comfortable in the long run. If you find that you are experiencing discomfort or heightened sensitivity that interferes with your sexual experiences, it may be beneficial to engage in regular sexual activity, whether through masturbation or intercourse.

As for your experience with sexual arousal during masturbation, it is entirely normal for men to explore different forms of stimulation, including the use of auxiliary tools or techniques. Many men find that incorporating various forms of stimulation, such as nipple play, can enhance their sexual pleasure. The sounds you describe, such as moaning, are also a natural response to sexual arousal and pleasure. These responses can vary widely among individuals and are influenced by personal preferences and experiences.

Regarding your concerns about sexual orientation, it is important to understand that sexual attraction can be complex and fluid. Experiencing arousal in response to male bodies does not necessarily mean you identify as homosexual. Many heterosexual men may find themselves attracted to the male form in certain contexts without identifying as gay. It is essential to explore these feelings without judgment and to understand that sexual orientation can encompass a spectrum of attractions. If you are questioning your sexual orientation, consider reflecting on your feelings and attractions in different contexts, and remember that it is perfectly normal to have questions about your sexuality.

If you are contemplating marriage and starting a family, it may be helpful to focus on your emotional and romantic connections rather than solely on sexual attraction. Relationships are built on various factors, including shared values, mutual respect, and emotional intimacy. Engaging in open and honest conversations with potential partners about your feelings and desires can help clarify your path forward.

In summary, post-circumcision sensitivity is a common experience that may require some adjustment. Regular ejaculation can help manage sensitivity, and exploring different forms of stimulation is normal. As for sexual orientation, it is a personal journey that may require time and reflection. If you continue to have concerns about your sexual health or orientation, consider speaking with a healthcare professional or a therapist who specializes in sexual health for further guidance and support.
