Kim & Pang (2007) studied the effect of adult circumcision on 138 males in South Korea. They concluded:
<blockquote>There were no significant differences in sexual drive, erection, ejaculation, and ejaculation latency time between circumcised and uncircumcised men. Masturbatory pleasure decreased after circumcision in 48% of the respondents, while 8% reported increased pleasure. Masturbatory difficulty increased after circumcision in 63% of the respondents but was easier in 37%. About 6% answered that their sex lives improved, while 20% reported a worse sex life after circumcision.<ref>{{REFjournal

===Other adverse effects===
# Circumcision is a surgical amputation of functional tissue. The various functions cease to operate. If the patient does not like the results, it cannot be reversed or undone.

# The heavily innervated [[ridged band]] is located on the foreskin and is always amputated along with the foreskin. The most sensitive regions in the intact penis are those parts ablated by circumcision.<ref>{{Sorrells etal ''et al'' 2007}}</ref> There is great loss of sensation caused by the amputation of this structure. It appears that many intact males are unaware of the source of sensation and are shocked by the loss of sensation after circumcision.
# The abundance of skin in the foreskin allows [[gliding action]]. Gliding action facilitates [[masturbation]] and [[vagina| intercourse]]. The shortening of penile skin reduces or eliminates gliding action. The loss of gliding action may cause [[dyspareunia]].
# Painful erections may occur due to lack of sufficient skin to allow for expansion of the penis.
