Male Organ Sensation Facts – The Important Role of the Sheath
In
the 1960s and 1970s, most parents would define the word "sheath" as
"tiny piece of skin that does nothing at all." Much has changed since
then. While some new parents continue to remove a baby's sheath due to male
organ health concerns or religious traditions, many are now choosing to leave
it intact, as they believe that the sheath has a key role to play in male organ
sensation and overall health. It's a debate that's likely to wage on, but in
the interim, guys who know a little more about what the sheath is designed to
do can make informed decisions for their sons, and they might pick up a few male organ care techniques they can utilize in their
own lives.
Take-Along
Protection
The
very tip of the male organ, or head, contains a wide variety of sensory cells
that can pick up sensations of pressure, friction and dampness. The sheath is
designed to cover this delicate tissue so it isn't exposed to sensory
information on a constant basis. During tumescence, however, the skin moves
away, and the head is exposed.
The
sheath is also capable of secreting thick fluids that can keep the skin
underneath moist and soft. Without moisture, the skin tends to dry up; a dry
head, without the protection of a sheath, can become so desensitized that it
can be hard for men to feel anything at all unless extreme friction is applied.
This additional force can actually exacerbate the problem, triggering further
keratinization and dulling sensation even further.
Added
Benefits
Studies
suggest that the sheath also contains sensory receptors, meaning that this skin
has the ability to transmit even more pleasurable signals to the brain during
intimacy. When the entire tissue cover is removed, all of those connections are
severed in the process.
The
sheath might also have the capacity to please a female partner during intimacy,
as the skin tends to move and slide during coupling, making greater contact and
increasing stimulation, as well as acting as a natural lubricant that helps to prevent excessive
friction for both partners.

What's Been Lost
Men
who have been cut at birth or in childhood may experience a sense of loss, as
their tissues were likely removed long before they had an opportunity to
express an opinion about the matter. Sometimes, surgical techniques can
recreate a replacement covering, but that tissue is likely not quite as
responsive and not quite as sensitive as the cells that were removed during the
original surgery.
This
doesn't mean, however, that men who have been cut are doomed to male organ
sensation loss that can't ever be corrected. Men who have been cut can be just
as responsive and just as happy during intimacy, but they might need to take a
few added precautions to ensure that the exposed tissues of the male organ
don't endure yet more trauma. These men might need to:
- Insist on lubrication during
intimacy and self-stimulation;
- Avoid contact with rough
fabrics and wear soft, fitted underwear to prevent chafing;
- Avoid intimate partners with
scratchy, poorly shaved hair ;
- Use a moisturizer after bathing.
A male
organ health creme (most
experts recommend Man1 Man Oil) can
be highly beneficial for both cut and uncut men. A high-quality nutrient cream
should contain softening agents such as shea butter that can keep sensory cells
firing as they should, and the vitamins in these products can nourish male
organ skin and help minor abrasions to heal. A male organ moisturizing cream
can help to maintain a supple, toned appearance that is pleasant to look at, as
well as to touch, and is responsive to tactile stimulation.
