I'm in the minority but I think it lessons the sexual experience. Does it feel the same? Well, yes, intercourse does. But what doesn't is the actual ejaculation. You do not ejaculate from the penis as much, thus lessening the experience. Basically it takes the top end out of the ejaculation. I think this happens to others too, but they talk themselves into believing it's the same. If you don't have to get one, don't!
