Nineteenth century physicians falsely believed that masturbation caused many diseases, including epilepsy, so they thought of ways to prevent masturbation. Bauer (18791878) recommended infibulation,<refname="bauer1878">{{REFjournal

In all cases [of masturbation] circumcision is undoubtedly the physicians' closest friend and ally ... To obtain the best results one must cut away enough [[skin]] and [[Mucosa| mucous membrane]] to rather put it on the stretch when erections come later. There must be no play in the [[skin]] after the wound has thoroughly healed, but it must fit tightly over the [[penis]], for should there be any play the patient will be found to readily resume his practice, not begrudging the time and extra energy required to produce the orgasm. It is true, however, that the longer it takes to have an orgasm, the less frequently it will be attempted, consequently the greater the benefit gained ... The younger the patient operated upon the more pronounced the benefit, though occasionally we find patients who were [[circumcised]] before [[puberty ]] that require a resection of the [[skin]], as it has grown loose and pliant after that epoch.<ref name="spratling1895">{{REFjournal

[[Circumcised]] males found that they could still practice [[masturbation]], if they used lubrication to overcome the crippling handicap of being [[circumcised]].<ref name="spratling1895" /> Lubrication has been characterized as a "prosthesis" used to overcome the impairment induced by amputation of a functional body part. Ravi Kumar (2017) reports:<blockquote>The disadvantages mainly lie in the removal of the foreskin, which constitutes almost half the skin on the penis. The foreskin provides natural lubrication and protection. It is well-known that a circumcised man cannot indulge in masturbation without a lubricant – which makes the act much more difficult and time-consuming.<ref>{{REFweb |url=https://www.youthkiawaaz.com/2017/02/the-stigma-of-circumcision-in-india |title=Stop Body-Shaming Me Just Because I Am Circumcised |last=Kumar |first=Ravi |init= |author-link= |publisher=Youth Ki Awaaz |date=2017-02-14 |accessdate=2025-06-19}}</ref></blockquote>Most, but not all, [[circumcised]] males need lubrication to avoid friction irritationand reach orgasm.<refname="techniques2022">{{REFweb

Many commenters on death grip syndrome seem profoundly ignorant of the effects of circumcision ([[MGM]]). Their comments are not helpful. Death grip masturbation may be regarded as a late complication of circumcision. [[Circumcision]] excises about 15-square-inches of highly-innervated erogenous tissue<ref name="winklemann1959">{{WinkelmannRK 1959}}</ref> from the [[penis]], reduces or eliminates the [[gliding action]], and severely reduces [[Foreskin sensitivity| penile sensation]].<ref name="taylor1996">{{TaylorJR LockwoodAP TaylorAJ 1996}}</ref> [[Circumcised]] men, with their desensitized [[penis]], in an attempt to restore lost sensation, are more likely to try using a very tight grip when they masturbate.
