===Sexual behavior===

Laumann et al. (1997) reported that men who lack a foreskin "engage in a somewhat more elaborated set of sexual practices than do men who are not circumcised. For each of the practices examined, lifetime experience of various forms of oral and anal sex and [[masturbation]] frequency in the past year, circumcised men engaged in these behaviors at greater rates. The difference between circumcised men was greatest for [[masturbation]] - ironically, a practice that circumcision was once thought to limit. A total of 47% of circumcised men reported masturbating at least once a month vs 34% for their [[uncircumcised]] peers."<ref name="laumann1997>{{REFjournal

Cold & Taylor (1999) commented, "The increased frequency of [[masturbation]], anal intercourse and fellatio reported by circumcised men in the USA may possibly be due to the sensory imbalance caused by circumcision. Clearly, [[amputation]] of the prepuce causes changes in sexual behaviour in human males and females."<ref name="cold-taylor1999" />

Frisch et al. (2011) surveyed the sexual function and behavior of a large group of intact and circumcised men in [[Denmark]]. They reported that "circumcised men were more likely (38%) than [[uncircumcised]] men (28%) to report ≥10 sex partners."<ref name="frisch lindholm groenbaek 2011">{{FrischM LindholmM GroenbaekM 2011}}</ref>
