Will Circumcision Affect Size?

Circumcision is the surgical removal of the foreskin, which usually happens soon after birth. Although circumcised or “cut” penises look different than uncircumcised or “uncut” ones, circumcision doesn't reduce penis size. It also doesn't affect fertility or sexual function.

Does circumcision make you bigger or smaller?

How can I make it bigger? Dear William, It is true that circumcision reduces both penile length and size, especially when a lot of foreskin is removed as is the case with many traditional circumcisions. Apart from it being more expandable than scar tissue that replaces lost skin, foreskin contributes to penile size.

Does circumcision Reduce Size?

Most studies do not show that circumcision causes sensation in your penis to worsen or sexual pleasure to decrease after circumcision. Also, circumcision does not shorten the penis.
