In this paper I discuss discourses about sexual pleasure after genital modifications, and how medical statements about effects on sexual pleasure are associated with politics, especially regarding male and female circumcision. Further, I argue that current discussions on sexual effects of genital modifications are reductionist due to widespread assumptions about the role of genitalia in sexuality – what might be characterised as ‘genital determinism’.
