      I thought it was places that had circumcision that used the death grip, because of the loss of sensation? (but definitely not an expert!)

        I’m no expert, either, I just read about death grip in Savage Love, and it always made me cringe and wonder, how in the hell? Then I learned more and figured it must have something to do with the skin being able to glide back and forth.

        From what I understand, the penis is supposed to have a mobile skin system, so it can glide up and down. The “death grip” is when guys get a tight grip and crank it up and down to get maximum stimulation. Circumcision can (often?) remove the entire mobile skin system, leaving the penis skin as tight as the skin on, say, your thumb.

        Get a tight grip on that, and start cranking, and it’s basically trying to rip your dick off.
