Very much so, in particular Puritans wanted to stop boys from touching themselves. And in a sense it very much works, you don’t hear “used the wrong stuff for lube” types of stories out of Europe because we don’t need any in the first place (modulo using a masturbator which btw yes you should totally get, Tenga Airtech are cheap, durable, and also otherwise high-performance).
I’m circumcised and have only used lubrication to touch myself maybe 3 times. And I’ve been touching myself every single day (when I’m not having real sex with someone I’m in a relationship with) at least once a day for the past 15+ years. People use lube because it feels more like sex not because they have to. I was jacking off for at least 6 or 7 years before I finally got to experience the real thing so I just felt like lube was too messy. Especially when you jack off multiple times in a day, the thought of cleaning off lotion or whatever around my crotch 10+ times in one day sounds terrible.
Plus I’ve had many conversations with American women that I had relationships with or were just friends with that all expressed that uncircumcised dicks gross them out. So I’ve always been happy to be circumcised strictly for that reason. I doubt it happens in Europe because the women in America just aren’t used to it, but if I showed a woman my dick and she got grossed out I would be devastated.
