Don't know how what you just said applies to anything I said.Hate to tell you this but my husband is circumcised and it has neither weakened or diminished anything. On the other hand his BFF, a Navy Vet who had a girl in every port was uncircumcised, had recurring infections and at the tender age of 22 had the foreskin of his little sailor snipped to solve the problem. Trust me when I say it's better to have this done as a baby."Judaism, however, is not entirely free of its heritage of repressive sexuality as is evident in Moses Maimonides' The Guide of the Perplexed; and the Code of Jewish Law (Chapter 150: Laws of Chastity; Chapter 151: the Sin of Discharging Semen in Vain). A brief quote from Maimonides is illustrative:
Similarly one of the intentions of the Law is purity and sanctification; I mean by this renouncing and avoiding sexual intercourse and causing it to be as infrequent as possible, as I shall make clear (III:8);
and
Similarly with regard to circumcision, one of the reasons for it is, in my opinion, the wish to bring about a decrease in sexual intercourse and a weakening of the organ in question, so that this activity be diminished and the organ be in as quite a state as possible.... The bodily pain caused to that member is the real purpose of circumcision (III:49)."

They're going to come after you on this one. You have burst their bubble and bruised their egos. They will no proceed to tell you that as a woman you don't really know what is best for you or what you should prefer. Their vanity has been hurt. They have enjoyed their premature ejaculations even though their sexual partners were left hanging.
