About CIRCUMserum and Reduced Penile Sensitivity
CIRCUMserum(TM) is a proprietary daily-use topical cream specifically designed for circumcised men. CIRCUMserum(TM) is a blend of essential botanical oils and other FDA-GRAS ("generally recognized as safe") ingredients and is intended to be part of a [circumcised] man's daily grooming regimen. [Intact men may not use the product, suggesting it would weaken or harm the intact mucosa.] CIRCUMserum(TM) works by making the skin more sensitive with the continuous use of the product ...

Reduced Penile Sensitivity ("RPS") results from a gradual loss of penile sensitivity over time. As a person ages, the dulling effect can increase. RPS can happen at any age and its prevalence is consistent across all ages. According to the CIA world fact book, over 98 percent of Moroccan men are circumcised, representing a group of approximately 15 million individuals. Recent medical studies identify a correlation between circumcision and reduced sensation. The British Journal of Urology International reports that circumcised men can experience up to a 75 percent reduction in sensitivity compared to men who are not circumcised. In a user survey conducted by Centric Research Institute, 75 percent of circumcised participants reported an increase in sensation and greater sexual satisfaction after regular use of the product and 80 percent reported feeling results after just 14 days of using CIRCUMserum(TM). [So much for studies claiming that circumcised men's sex could not be any better....]

[This, like surgical foreskin restoration, is reminiscent of Dr Seuss's "The Sneetches" Like Dr Monkey MacBean, they propose to make money both by circumcising, and by reversing its effects. The existence of CIRCUMserum(TM) raises the question, if it needs to be undone, why do it?]

New personal care product for circumcised men

By

Centric Research Institute today launched CIRCUMserum™, the first personal care product formulated specifically for use by circumcised men. CIRCUMserum is a daily moisturizing cream made from a patent-pending blend of essential botanical oils designed to condition areas of the penis dulled by the constant exposure resulting from circumcision.

Over 79 percent of American men aged 18 - 80 are circumcised, representing a group of approximately 90 million individuals. Recent medical studies identify a correlation between circumcision and reduced sensation. The International Journal of Men's Health published results of a study that showed circumcised men are 4.5 times more likely to experience erectile dysfunction due to loss of sensitivity. In a further study, The British Journal of Urology International reports that circumcised men can experience up to a 75 percent reduction in sensitivity compared to men who are not circumcised.

Softer Skin Promotes Feelings of Sensation and Sexual Performance
As with other types of skin, the glans (head of the penis) can suffer callousing that results in "Dullness Syndrome" (DS) from years of exposure and buildup of keratin (protein) layers. Urologists report that patients with DS due to circumcision experience diminished feelings of sensation and sexual satisfaction. CIRCUMserum was developed to address DS through regular moisturizing application, restoring the glans to a softer, more natural state that may enhance feelings of sensation.

"We're addressing an important but not frequently discussed aspect of the sexual satisfaction of American men," said Dr. James L. Yeager, Chief Technical Officer of Centric Research Institute. "Most of us are circumcised. A decline in sensitivity can impact sexual satisfaction. CIRCUMserum provides a natural, easy to use option and course of action for men to bring back some of the intensity they may have lost in their sex lives."

In a user survey conducted by Centric Research Institute, 75 percent of circumcised participants reported an increase in sensation and greater sexual satisfaction after regular use of the product. Eighty percent (80%) reported feeling results after just 14 days using CIRCUMserum in its recommended daily dose.

[This product gives the lie to the claim that "circumcising does not affect sexual function" but Centric Research Institute may also be compared to Dr Seuss's McMonkey McBean who made money from Sneeches by fitting them with, or removing, their belly-stars.]
