CircumSerum

[gymfresh]

Looks like a new product has been launched by an expert in men's sexual dysfunction. CircumSerum aims to address the unnatural conditions on the end of the penis caused by drying out and thickening of the normally moist and smooth mucosal surfaces of the glans and inner foreskin (remnant) that occurs years after circumcision. The inventor of CircumSerum ("Feel What You've Been Missing"™), a circumcised man himself, long recognized the sexual drawbacks of losing a normal part of the male anatomy and has developed a product to more nearly approximate the normal appearance and response of the affected tissue.

It's no substitute for being intact, but 90% of users apparently report improvement in sensation and would recommend CircumSerum to a friend. Obviously someone they know well enough to ask or know if he's been de-hooded like them.

One is left wondering... wouldn't a company like this want the circumcision rate to stay high, so it can sell more product? Nice chart of where most of the chopping has taken place and potential customers can be found; for some reason Canada and East Africa aren't on it.

If it is so good for the skin, why do they repeat that you have to wash you hands after they have come into contact with that oil ?

Ironic that it wants to make you more sensitive in your underwear when you don't want to be, and the FAQ tells you not to use it during sex when you do want sensitivity. Normal lube probably does a far better job.

Just had a look at the website. It follows the typical marketing strategy of a piece of cosmetic quackery: set up as a research institute, create a condition ("dullness syndrome"), give it an acronym (DS), and make some claims with plenty of qualifications ("may help").

Anyone who parts with $50 for this bottle of "botanicals" is definitely suffering from dullness syndrome, but it's affecting their big head more than their little one.

Why am I not surprised, two people reply to pick the product apart, both of which have their circumcisions at such an elevated status of importance in their minds that they have made it a part of their online identity. 3 circumcisions between the two of them as a matter of fact.

Because, also listed in the instructions is "external use only". Natural or not, some substances are not made for consumption.

Actually it tells you to use it regularly, and that you will experience greater sensation over time with regular use. Not perfect, but there's also underwear for circumcised men meant to reduce keratinization of the glans by keeping the penis as still as possible, so as not to rub against the inside of your clothes. For those that have the money and think that foreskin restoration is too much of a hassle, but are concerned about sensitivity loss, a product like this with the protective underwear might do the trick.

I would actually agree with this to a certain extent. PhD or not, the guy did just make up a symptom name and what not. It's based around observations in and out of the medical field, but not yet recognized by the US medical community as a whole as of yet. For better or worse, as long as he stays away from certain claims (namely, that it cures, treats, or prevents any recognized disease) he can pretty much say whatever he wants. Ironically, if the medical field came out and recognized the term "dullness syndrome" that he coined as a real condition, his ad would instantly become illegal. :tongue:

My opinion here is that he's made a mixture of natural oils and moisturizers for use on the genitals, probably by finding a bunch of ingredients that moisturize well, are good for general skin care, and are mild enough to use on sensitive skin. The question I'd have is: Why would this product work better than any number of other products that also moisturize skin? What makes this one different?

 

[SirConcis]

BTW, I use almond oil as lubricant to J/O. I buy it at the supermarket for a couple of bucks. (in the specialied/imported products dept, it comes from morocco).

I suspect this product is based from ingredients you get at the supermarket and then the price is jacked way up because it becomes a quasi medical/sexual product.

I am about 30 years old. I was circumcised as an infant. My glans is very soft. So is my father who is 55. Of course we wash it in the shower every day.

Saline is a MUCH much cheaper alternative.

The vertical pillars don't seem to correspond either to numbers or percentages, and any diagram that uses the surface area of Australia as a basis for anything to do with population is inherently dishonest, when the interior of Australia ("the outback") is almost uninhabited.

Here is a more honest representation of the situation in Australia (but it's the now-low infant rates, not the adult prevalence, which is indeed about 60%)

 

[SirConcis]

Snozzle, your graph does not take into account the areas where circumcision is an integral part of aboriginal life in central australia and where rates would be close to 100%.

This whole thing is about making males feel bad aout their perfectly normal penis so that they are pushed to buy some product.

The glans of the flaccid penis is not the same as when it is "inflated" and hard during erection. In erection, the skin of glans is stretched and is thinner and sensitivity is much increased.

 

[gymfresh]

I thought the aboriginal practice was closer to a subincision than a circumcision? It's certainly nothing like what's done in a hospital in Brisbane.

It's a little creepy that you even have any idea that your father's glans is soft. Or from the way your sentence reads, maybe your dad is somewhat soft.

Holy shit, after googling subincision, my only reaction is WTF. Now that is just wrong on so many levels.

As far as the product, I'm guessing it is just some kind of moisturizer but for the people that are claiming that the circumcised head is just as sensitive after, I call bullshit. My glans is not nearly as sensitive as it was when I was younger. There is merit to the product's claim about less sensitivity over time but my guess is the only way to change that is through foreskin restoration so the glans remains covered and re moisturizes itself.

 

[SirConcis]

Different parts of aboriginal australia have different rituals. Some have fairly standard circumcision. Some have subincision, and some do not circumcise.

If you look at pictures of naked adult men in the north (Arnhem/Kakadu), they are not circumcised, but supposedly, there is some sort fo modification done when you reach a certain level of the hiearchy. But in central australia, circumcision is the norm.

Even reading about cock cutting makes me feel like throwing-up. But, yeah, use your big head, and don't fall prey to the snake-oil sellers.

Aloe Vera is all natural, healing, feels good and is inexpensive.

Just ordered a bottle. Hey, I'll try anything once, Cutdrew
It's probably just a mild exfoliant that works well on sensitive skin. I'll give it three weeks and send it back if it's a waste of time. Keep you posted.

 

[Rarefied]

It makes sense as a product; if you have a thick layer of keratin on your glans then you're going to feel less, and there are already existing products that can soften keratin, mainly for use on problem toenails, so if he's just diluted this and adapted it with the addition of other ingredients which hydrate the skin, then theoretically it should work.

If he was smart he'd market it in conjunction with these people: manhood.mb.ca because after all a sensitive penis is great, but not if you have nothing to project it. As an uncut guy I'd find it intolerable to have the head of my penis rubbing against the fabric of my underwear all day.

So, I received the product yesterday. It arrived completely empty, except for two pumps. I sent an email to customer service, and I'll let you guys know how well they respond to the complaint. In the meantime, I wouldn't advise anyone purchasing this.

 

[EskimoBoy]

Got my free sample in the mail yesterday. It's a white cream, with sort of a minty smell, and I could definitely feel a zing when I put it on. That faded quickly, and it also dried quickly. There's not enough product in the samples to do a 2-week test as it says on the bottle, but it was definitely more than just a skin lotion. Not bad.

 

[D_Bxmnb9]

Just so you know, their customer service was great. I can't speak to the efficacy of the product yet, but they were fantastic about sending me new bottles.
