<blockquote>
''Beaugé suggests that the loss of penile [[skin]] from circumcision frequently results in tightened [[skin]] over the erect penis. This increases friction during intercourse and increases the likelihood of abrasions through which a pathogen can be introduced systemically, making the circumcised penis more likely to contract an STD. The increased likelihood of circumcised men engaging in active anal sex may also increase a circumcised man's susceptibility to STDs''.<ref name="vanhowe1999" />
