I read an article years and years ago written by an adult male who decided to to get circumsized as an adult. He did it and said that afterward the sensitivity during sex was like going from color TV to black and white. Perhaps your DH should do a bit more research - feels like a high price to pay.
@Anonymous I'm an MD mom. Agree with above. Also maybe worth mentioning that by cutting off the foreskin, he's ultimately changing the glans of the penis from a soft tissue similar to the inside of one's cheek, to that of rougher, keratinized skin. This may account for some of the sensitivity changes.
I think it is a little concerning because for an adult man to want to have elective surgery on his penis for reasons of cleanliness strikes me as odd. He has been the operator of a foreskin for some time so surely he knows how to clean himself? I would say that either he is experiencing some body dysmorphia from porn or is having some kind of germophobic OCD flare up. Or, as you joked, is looking elsewhere and has been told that cut is preferable.
Op: hes either cheating or watching a lot of porn. I think he’s been watching a lot of porn because his showers have gone from quick 5-7minutes to about 25 min.
Are we sure it truly isn't a comfort and cleanliness thing? This is way TMI, but my labia are long and I have now been considering getting it fixed because it has bothered me physically since I was a girl.
Op: ohhhhh interesting. He wouldn’t say but maybe? After posting here, I did mention to him that sex won’t feel better if he’s circumcised. He thought it would. He’s clearly not researched this enough.

Op: this is a good point that I will bring up to him.

Not sure what "cleaner" means. Sounds like he's watching too much adult tv.
Op: he says he has to pull skin back to clean and it’s just easier to wash if he’s circumcised.

I'm going with option 1 or 3 for 100, Alex.

@Anonymous It takes 25 minutes for him to rub one off??

Op: he shared.....he says tip is dry and hurting. He’s not sure how to make it feel better.....kind of relieved the reasons he’s wanting to do this.
@Anonymous Tip dry and hurting is not because of foreskin. Removing it is not going to solve the underlying problem.
I’m curious why porn would be a factor. I thought when erect, an intact vs circ’ed penis looks pretty similar?
Being circ’d is the norm maybe he is feeling awkward or uncomfortable. I think it’s odd that he is married and wants to do
