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.
Loss of sensation? This is not the case.
Yes, it is. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23374102/
I'm circumcised and wouldn't mind less sensitivity than I have now.
I assure you, we enjoy sex quite well.

**Conclusion: **Based on histological findings and correlates of sexual function, loss of the prepuce by circumcision would appear to have no adverse effect on sexual pleasure. Our evaluation supports overall findings from physiological measurements and survey data.
It's not a question of enjoyment, it's a question of sensitivity. Dutch females statistically have a less sensitive vagina because of all the biking(saddles), but that doesn't have to mean they rate sex worse.
