Why isn't jerking off more valorized as an easy dopamine hit that's also literally good for you?

Where you circumcized after you became sexually active?

If not, how would you know there is no loss?

Same with all of you. None of you would know the difference.

There are people that were circumcized after becoming sexually active who can (and do) report exactly that.

Separately, we can simply ask people that have foreskins to describe the sensations they feel from that body part.

The only part that we can't say with confidence is how the neutral pathways develop (i.e. how we perceive the sensations) when it's the only way we've ever experienced.
