Setting aside the brain damage caused by the excruciatingly traumatic levels of pain inflicted when cutting off parts of a newborn's genitals without any kind of anesthetic, you may try the somewhat less horrifyingly depressing analogy of a child who was born deaf due to a cochlear defect.

Without the normal flow of sensory data, the parts of the infant's brain that would be devoted to processing sound end up being repurposed to doing other things.

If you give the child artificial cochlear implants before this rewiring is too far along, they will be able to hear. Due to technological advances, they may even be able to hear with zero detectable disability.

If you wait too long, though, even the best future cochlear implant with better-than-human detection and discernment will not give them superhuman hearing. It's feeding sound sensory data into neurons that now do something else.

For patients that were not profoundly deaf or who were given implants somewhere after the period where normal function could have been restored, the stimulation of these rewired neurons is frequently described as "painful noise" or simply "pain" if they are unfamiliar with the concept of noise.

So, back to the original topic. You've amputated the majority of erogenous sensory tissue from children's genitals for ritualistic or fashionable reason.

The children's brains are going to try to process whatever limited sensory data they receive from their genital remnants.

A decade and some change later, they will go through puberty. This is kind of like installing a cochlear implant in a deaf person way way past an age where medical ethics would allow it. Their experience of what should be sexual pleasure is just... "painful noise". And it can never be anything else.

They might learn to enjoy what's left to them, in much the same way people can acquire a taste for capsaicin or natto or marmite or pineapple on pizza (yeah, I went there). They may have a propensity to develop paraphilia or fetishes due to their brain rewiring. They may acclimate to simply ignore the stimulation on a conscious level and misinterpret the body's reflexive responses as orgasm.

And I don't want to continue this comment...

There are plenty of men who got circumscised later in life who can testify about the difference.

I'm one such example. Got circumscised for medical reasons in my teenage years. The difference is very noticeable and my surgery was one of the better ones.

I see a lot of articles claiming that circumsition at infancy doesnt reduce sexual pleasure and i am enticed to agree with this based on the fact that you dont know what your missing.

By this logic, a person who is colorblind from birth would not experience reduced vision.

Okay do i just read this and realised that auto correct rampantly disassembled my post. I'm new to reddit and didnt think to double check it. Id there a way to fix it?

The second part of the sentence does not follow the first. You can still have reduced sexual pleasure even if it was removed at birth.

And we have more information than surveys. We know that the foreskin is the most sensitive part of the penis. (Full study.)

This is an objective measurement using a Semmes Weinstein monofilament. This is how they work. This is objective and replicable.

Here's a presentation you may like on the anatomy: Dr. Guest discusses the innervation of the foreskin, how the most sensitive part of the penis is removed by circumcision, the mechanical function of the foreskin and its role in lubrication during sex, and the possibility of decreased sexual pleasure for both male and partner.

He also draws an analogy you may find useful. “The best analogy is imagine your favorite piece of music, a Mozart symphony. You love it, it’s your favourite piece, it’s very beautiful. But for some reason you don't get to hear it with the Violas. The violas section has been removed, but it's still your favourite piece of music. How do you know you wouldn't like it better with the Violas? Why wouldn't you want to hear it with the Violas? Don’t you think it should be your choice if you want to hear it with the Violas? The Violas here are the foreskin.” I recommend watching it from the 28 minute mark as he goes over the anatomy and function of the foreskin.

that's a non sequitur. not knowing what you're missing is no indication that you're not missing anything.
