Circumcision 'does not curb sex' - BBC Health News 7th January 2008

Circumcision does not reduce sexual satisfaction and so there should be no reservations about using this method as a way to combat HIV, a study says. Nearly 5,000 Ugandan men were recruited for the study. Half were circumcised, half had yet to undergo surgery.

There was a study published in the March 2007 issue of BJU International on "The Effect Of Male Circumcision On Sexuality":

About 6% answered that their sex lives improved, while 20%
reported a worse sex life after circumcision.

This study suggests that adult circumcision adversely affects sexual
function in a significant number of men, and the authors suggest
that it may be due to loss of nerve endings in the removed skin. In
addition, there was an approximately 9% incidence of severe penile
scarring or uncomfortable erections from curvature or tethering
after circumcision.

Now why didn't this receive the same coverage the latest study got?
