Laumann et al. (1997) reported that the likelihood of having difficulty in maintaining an [[erection]] was lower for [[circumcised]] men, but only at the 0.07 level (OR 0.66; 95% CI, 0.42-1.03).<ref name="Laumann1997"/>
In a telephone survey of 10,173 Australian men, 22% of [[intact]] men and 26% of [[circumcised]] men reported reaching orgasm too quickly for at least one month in the previous year. The difference was not statistically significant.<ref name="richters2006"/>
In a study of 255 [[circumcised]] men and 118 [[intact]] men, Kim & Pang (2006) reported no statistically significant difference in ejaculation or ejaculation latency time between circumcised and intact participants.<ref name="kimpang2006kimpang2007"/>
In a study of men [[circumcised]] for benign disease, Masood et al. reported that of those who stated they had prior premature ejaculation, 13% reported improvement after circumcision, 33% reported that it became worse, and 53% reported no change.<ref name="masood2005"/>
== Sexual practice and masturbation ==
In a study by Korean researchers of 255 men [[circumcised]] after the age of 20 and 18 who were [[Intact| not circumcised]], Kim & Pang (2007) reported that masturbatory pleasure decreased in 48% of the respondents and increased in 8%. [[Masturbation|Masturbatory]] difficulty increased in 63% but was easier in 37%. They concluded that there was a decrease in masturbatory pleasure after [[Adolescent and adult circumcision| circumcision]].<ref name="kimpang2006kimpang2007"/>

== Sexual drive ==
Several studies have investigated the effect of circumcision on sexual drive. Studies that did not find a statistically significant difference include Kim & Pang,<ref name="kimpang2006kimpang2007"/> Collins et al.,<ref name="Collins2002"/> and Senkul et al.<ref name="senkul2004"/>
== Satisfaction ==
Kim & Pang (2007) found that 20% reported that their sex life was worse after [[circumcision]] and 6% reported that it had improved. They concluded that "there was a decrease ... sexual enjoyment after circumcision, indicating that adult circumcision adversely affects sexual function in many men, possibly because of complications of the surgery and a loss of nerve endings."<ref name="kimpang2006kimpang2007"/>
Masood et al., in their study mentioned earlier of men [[circumcised]] for benign disease, found that 61% reported satisfaction with the results, while 17% felt it made things worse, and 22% expressed neutral sentiments. 44% of the patients (p = 0.04) and 38% of the partners (p = 0.02) thought the penis appearance improved after circumcision. The authors of the study concluded that the satisfaction rate was a 'poor outcome,' given the pre-procedure penile disease state and recommended discussing with prospective patients the results of this study during the [[informed consent]] process.<ref name=masood2005/>
