→Effect of the male foreskin on female sexual pleasure: Add text.
As stated, circumcision removes 33-50% of the penile skin. With this skin missing, there is less tissue for the swollen corpus cavernosa and corpus spongiosum to slide against. Instead the skin of the circumcised penis rubs against the vaginal wall, increasing friction, abrasion and the need for artificial lubrication. Because of the tight penile skin, the corona of the glans, which is configured as a one-way valve pulls the vaginal secretions from the vagina when the shaft is withdrawn.<ref name="ohara1999" />

Bensley & Boyle (2003) suggested that the circumcision of the male partner and the loss of vaginal lubrication may be a factor the diagnosis of female arousal disorder.<ref name="bensley2003">{{REFjournal

It is now clear that the foreskin works within the vagina, to improve sensation, reduce friction, and conserve vaginal lubrication.
