Adult Circumcision

[EclipseoftheDarkSun]

You do not understand the male perspective.

Yes I do. The majority of my friends are men who shower with other men several times a day. I've never heard of anyone gossiping about the state of someone foreskin. In Britain, if you approached someone and said "Hey, did you see X's dick in the shower? He was circumcised!" they'd think you were a total poof. It would be you who got picked on and gossiped over - it wouldn't be the guy with the circumcised dick. Spying on someone and gossiping over their dick is a much higher crime than being circumcised is.

You're either an eight year old, or you hang around weirdos. You're talking tripe.

Yes, that sounds pretty strange - once fully healed, they wouldn't know it happened as an adult vs as a baby, nor would they be gossiping like stereotypical cheerleaders. Most men don't stare at each other's members when they share a urinal, so why would they do it in the shower? Maybe at a certain age, but not adults.

Well, this explains a lot, I feel.

Good luck and everything.

Don't think there's much I can tell you other than that. It's not like I'm holding a lot of wisdom on the subject.

Edit: There's one thing though. The foreskin acts as a sliding mechanism, so you might have to use more lube during sex (or masturbation) than you would were you uncircumcised.

Fortunately all the other skin can also act as a sliding mechanism, so hopefully it won't be too different.

How in the world would the skin covering a circumcised penis work as a sliding mechanism in the same way the foreskin does?
You could probably pull the skin back and forth a bit, but we're talking about something like 1 cm here.

I think I need to talk to my psychiatrist. My snipped-at-birth junk leave me feeling... unwhole.

I don't know, maybe it's not the same. i don't have an uncircumcised penis to compare to. that's why i said "hopefully".

 

[Jadak]

The important thing is, after you're all healed up and have put it to use, be sure to settle all arguments about which is better in whatever aspects. The "more pleasurable" thing is meaningless from people who have only ever been one or the other.

Women care what your penis looks like as much as you care what their vagina looks like. If you're in love, it really doesn't matter.

Ah, well the thing about uncircumcised penises is that they can slide back and forth within the foreskin sort of like a piston.
Because of this, uncircumcised men can masturbate aided by nothing but their own hand effortlessly.

Yeah uh, some circumcised men can do this too.

Maturbate with nothing but their hand, sure, but not without some substantial friction on the dick. I highly doubt any circumcised man would be able to move his penis back and forth through the skin covering it.

This thread has a lot less controversy than I expected from a circumcision thread.

I'd hate to have it done. I'd take more than a week to, a friend of mine had it done a few years ago and it took more like 3 or 4 to be tolerable again.

You could also ask about partial circumcision as well, I remember that being a thing but can't remmeber what.

Anyway, you have my sympathy, it's not something I ever wish to experience.

Captcha: it hurts

No, having one of the most sensitive parts of the body removed is likely entirely painless Captcha. /sarcasm.

 

[Brutal Peanut]

As a woman I don't really care.

Also if it's a medical procedure that would end up helping you or making you more comfortable in the long run, I'd say it really doesn't matter what a lot of other people say about it, nor even what female partners would say about it. If your partner loves you and wants you to be comfortable they should probably be supportive of the procedure. Even so, sex is still probably going to be pretty awesome feeling, because...well,...it's sex?

If you were just doing it to do it, then...I dunno man,...I dunno.

 

[Smooth Operator]

I object when people get chopped up without reason and consent, but a medical procedure is a medical procedure and hell even then they have to have your consent.

As for the ladies, if a bit of skin on your penis is the deciding factor for them then consider yourself lucky, you just discovered a wackjob that you should not ever go near with your penis.

 

[The White Hunter]

damn dude, My advice is get nice and drunk after. It will take your mind off it.

The painkillers they give you aren't to be taken with alcohol dude.

So glad I haven't gone through this.

 

[Calibanbutcher]

snip

I see what you did there.
Cut it out, will you?

 

[Muspelheim]

Yeah...no. I'll only be there for a little while then I'll spend my week at home, feeling painfully sensitive in the pants.

I'm not sure bathing my loins in ice cream would be pleasant for recovery, and I really doubt helpful to consume it.

Well, it's always something, maybe it could've been useful for a last resort?

And that bit about females reassuring me was me hoping for people with that actual opinion to show up, since from past threads they seem to only as a response to posts of females saying they'd have it done to their child because it looks better and they wouldn't want girls to reject them since apparently they know of people who balk at it.

But again, the type of people who have that sort of standard aren't the type of people you'd like to stick it in anyway. Not the biggest loss in the world, either way.

Snipples

Oh... Dear. I'm going to have phantom pains for ages now. ._.

 

[Yopaz]

I'm sure it will be OK. If you happen to find a girl willing to have sex with you I doubt that the lack of foreskin will be enough to stop that. The operation is probably painful and that week will probably be hell, but at least you can have sex when it's over without that much pain (I don't know how it is for circumcised people, but I've heard mixed opinions). Good luck with this.

 

[anthony87]

snip.....heh, geddit? ^_^

Y'know OP, I've got the exact same problem as you. Tight foreskin, won't go over the head etc. etc. Only difference between you and me is that I'm far too terrified/embarrassed to go see a urologist about it. It's not even the thought of how it might look to other people that bothers me, it's the thought of just.....cutting it off. That and the god-awful irritation that will follow while the head gets all desensitised and whatnot.

So yeah.....

I know that bloody feel...

 

[Jegsimmons]

besides the fact circumcisions dont honestly matter either way (unless they fuck it up but thats not very common at all) and the scientific consensus is it literally has no difference in feel and its about as superfluous as the end piece on bread or bun seeds....if its because your foreskin is too tight go ahead...honestly it sounds like a reverse circumcision.

circumcised or not a penis is a penis and as long as you let it heal up and apply lotion and not masturbate with sand paper you'd be ok.

 

[Daojia]

Wading in here... I hardly ever post so feel privileged. Circumcised bloke here. I remember nothing about the operation itself, save for the following amusing anecdote.

Me and my identical twin got the operation when we were just old enough to walk. As such, because of the discomfort there were many occurrences of naked babies tottering about the house with naught but a bandage. In the heyday of this, an old friend of the family came for dinner one evening, and had the door opened by a buck-naked child with a blood-soaked bandage on the end of his dick. Apparently the blood drained from his face and he uttered "Christ, man. It's enough to make you want to rip your own head off".

As far as actual reflections go? Circumcised is a complete non-issue. I'm a regular guy with a good sex life, and no problems to speak of. The operation may be painful but it's got to be better than having a turtleneck that's too tight for you.
