I wanna be circumcised.Then go out and get it done! See an Urologist, they do the job. Its not expensive and your penis will heal in no time...

I wanna be circumcised.

And I wish I never had been. At least it's easier for you to achieve your desires.

Actually, growing up with an uncircumcised pecker, would have been tough in my day. Until I was grown, I only remember seeing one, and that was on a boy from Eastern Europe who had immigrated to the USA. I remember how shocked I was to see it (about 13 at the time).

Lately I have been reading much material showing circumcision makes it harder for guys to orgasm. I actually never knew that. It makes sense from my point of view though. This is no joke or fetish; I have not been able to achieve orgasm with my girlfriend in three and a half years. The more I hear from uncircumcised men, the more I realize the reason is the foreskin is suppose to be gliding over the penis head and brings desire. Without a foreskin, the sensation is much less and plus the nerves that are still intact are less sensitive due to the skin at the tip not being able to stay moist.

I wish I had never been circumcised either. Plus I have some female friends who told me they preferred uncircumcised men because they can feel it more.

... yes, the debate rages on over circumcision. One more thing to be unhappy about. Ironically, circumcision became widespread in the USA because of an apparent link between cervical cancer in women and having sex with uncircumcized men. Women should be thanking us circed guys for putting up with the disadvantages of having a cut dick. The glans does suffer noticeably from being exposed all the time. Well, for those who are unhappy being uncut, Robby is right, just call in at the urologist and he will oblige you. There are also do-it-yourself circumcision experiences in the files at BME/Extreme. Pics, too, of the results. For cut guys who wish they weren't, you can make a new hobby out of foreskin restoration. Various methods are employed, and there are fan clubs and foreskin rights groups, etc. to join. I am not sure, but BME may have experiences and pics for that, too.

The thing about circumcision, however, is that you'll find a whole army of doctors willing to do it in a heartbeat.

I've heard sex is more pleasurable with the foreskin. That being said, I'm glad I had it done. Mine was done, like many American men, when I was a baby.

Even though the operation probably was extremely painful, having it done at such an early age prevented it from being such a traumatic event since I have no memory of the surgery.

[philorchites (imported)]

Some men are circumcised later in life because of a condition known as phimosis, in which the foreskin tightens over the head to the point that erections, sex, micturation (the correct term for pissing), and even simple hygiene become painful and difficult, if not impossible. At least us cut guys will never have that problem!! An uncut head is a treat for those who like to give head. Soft, smooth, slick even. Very special! Since there is more penis sheath to work with, stroking an uncut dick is also very hot, with the greater range of motion, and the impression of greater mass.

When I was in college there was a boy from Viet Nam who had himself circumcised. He walked funny -- bow legged -- for several days.

The whole subject has far too much prejudice and ill-informed opinion loose. The proponents of routine circumcision jump on every bit of 'research' that can be stretched to prove their point and the opponents do likewise.

Overall, there isn't a great deal either way from a purely medical point of view; the claimed advantages of circumcision of the newborn (mostly a reduction in the frequency of urinary tract infection) is pretty well balanced out by the inevitable complications of the procedure itself.

Since Victorian times, circumcision has been touted as a 'cure' for masturbation. As far as I can see, this turns out to be mostly the creation of an artificial market for the makers of 'personal' lubricants.

Most of the claims based on 'statistics' (such as the cervical cancer one) come badly unstuck as soon as competent statisticians start asking awkward questions. Circumcision rates are so strongly influenced by cultural, social and economic factors that it is impossible to account for them properly.

And at least two more armies who are willing to charge for it without doing it. When my son was born we were charged for three circumcisions. He is still uncut.

yeah me too much dick looks odd with the foreskin and it would be easier to clean once u get it done

[wannabe_alto (imported)]

For a number of reasons, in Canada and the U.S. (and to a lesser extent in Australia, N.Z., and other countries - overall predominately Protestant-Christian, white, Anglo-European nations) circumcision was regularly preformed on children from the 1950's to the 1970's. There is a gradual movement among many cut guys to go back to what they could have had. While Baopi's over-hang might be considered excessive by some, many would find it very attractive. Nevertheless, having said that, if Baopi's quite convinced he wants it cut back, a plastic surgeon (or, as was suggested before, perhaps a urologist) should be consulted.

I was relieved of my foreskin when I was 5 months old, to 'cure' a UTI. It did that, but now I wish I still had my push/pull. My advice is to leave it where it is, washing the penis takes a lot less time than brushing the teeth, but nobody advocates removal of the teeth to save on brushes and paste.

My son still has his, I'm sure he gets lots of pleasure from it.

Circumcision: doctors make money from it, thoughtless, ignorant, parents request it, and babies can't prevent it.

That's the whole truth and nothing but the truth!

. . . from the 1950's to the 1970's.In the USA it started much earlier.

Hi. I run a site on circumcision. Have a look. http://www.circumcisionquotes.com/ Good luck on your decision.

[John W. (imported)]

Those who were involuntarily circumcized as babies, including for pseudo-religious reasons, should sue the doctors concerned, and their parents if it was done with their knowledge or consent, and any ministers of religion involved, to their last nickels. BTW it is now illegal to do it involuntarily in Canada to babies, as the result of the David Reimer case in Winnipeg, Manitoba.

Thanks Moreschi It's nice to know there are loving mothers out there who don't believe in ritual genital mutilation in newborns, without thinking of the babies' wellfare.

I consider myself very fortunate to be born into a country where circumcision is extremely rare, and thank the heavens I'm still intact.

It never fails to amaze me that - in a country so proud of the freedom they offer their citizens - and yet somehow find such barbaric way to restrict the freedom of those too meek to be able to speak out for themselves.

I dream of a day when circumcision for males here in the West is as rare - and criminal - as circumcision in female teenagers.

At least things have changed in the U.S.A. Circumcision isn't as common as it was before. When I was a kid, ALL boys were circumcised (In the south, at least). In all time I was in school, I only saw one boy who wasn't, and he had immigrated from Eastern Europe. I wish I hadn't been circumcised, but wouldn't have as a kid. I would have been a freak to all the other boys. Hell, I even heard of girls that wouldn't go to bed with an uncircumcised boy.

Thank you very much for creating this website. The family doctor convinced my mother that it would cure a UTI. She did not want it done, and she held out for several months, before eventually agreeing. I did get better, but I would have done so anyway. I vowed that my son would keep his foreskin, and he has.

I just wanted to add my experience on circumcision and my own thoughts.

First thing I noticed here is a normal discussion about circumcision like it is anywhere else. With all pros and cons. Some people are against, some are not. But imagine, if the discussion was here about castration !!!

Circumcision has been one of my sexual fantasies since my very early teens. I was circumcised finally 6 years ago. I have chosen very tight and low cut with frenulum completely removed. The way circumcision removes most of the of penis sensitivity. It was my free decision. I knew what the result will be. I already had plenty of fun with my foreskin and now I enjoy it without.

About sensitivity loss

Actually I have had 2 circumcisions. first one was 6 years ago and last one 1 year ago. So I can tell the difference of penis sensitivity between the different circumcision styles.

At first my circ was not so tight and some frenulum still left intact. I lost quite a lot of sensitivity with first circ. I can tell, that inner skin of foreskin is quite sensitive and foreskin tip. I did'nt feel these parts anymore. My penis felt kinda numb. I expected that and it was kinda funny too. My now exposed penis head gradually lost sensitivity too. At first it was too tender. It had to rub it very carefully. I felt it all the time in my pants rubbing against clothes. I like cycling and I felt every move in my pants I made on pedals as well.

I still had feelings from my frenulum and my penis head was not so numb as it was partially covered when soft. That kept it from desinsitising.

Second circ removed all the free skin from shaft so that it even pulls up my scrotum slightly when erect. There is no skin on penis head when soft Exposing my glans completely. There is no sign of frenulum left. It feels pretty numb there now.

I would say that there has been considerable loss of sensation.

All this numbness has not restricted me having sex or masturbating many times a day.

Orgasm feels still pretty much the same. Well, it feels even deeper, as there is not so strong mechanical stimulation signals coming from penis.

Brain is the thing that creates orgasm not foreskin on the penis. Under influence of Testosterone of course

I guess that uncircumcised eunuchs reach orgasm much easily than circumcised eunuchs, as testosterone is not helping fantasies and sexual excitement that much.

Are there any eunuchs that are circumcised after castration?

Yeah, but there are just a few problems with that idea. First, there are statutory limitations; you don't have to like them, but if you are willing to think about the practical problems of administring justice you will surely see that there really does have to be an end to litigation sometime. Next is that the courts are so crowded with suits of as little merit as those that it can take three or four years for them to get to trial, and the costs of litigation are not negligible. Then even if I could get a judgement I couldn't collect it; those people have been dead & their estates closed for more than 20 years. And none of them acted out of malice; they were all acting out of the best information available to them at the time, and in conformance with the cultural imperative of the time. Finally, I really, truly, do not blame them; the reasons I did better for my son than they did for me are that I had better information and for my own reasons had got myself out

from under the cultural imperative that controlled them.

I consider myself very fortunate to be bor

n into a country where circumcision is extremely rare, . . . Actually you are very fortunate to have been born into a country which had the good sense to make it clear to the Puritans that their contolling obsessions were not welcome. But I bet you understand that even though you haven't said it.

Moreschi,

many , many thanks for the link to your site. There I found a (prolix but enlightening) description of the Culture/Nature dichotomy which reminded me of C. P. Snow's essay on The Two Cultures. This has helped me to understand one of the mysteries of my life: why my brother, who was born in 1930 (for my family the depths of the Great Depression) at home in a small (rural) town in north-central Iowa, was not circumcised until his late teens while I, born in a hospital in a city in 1934 (when we were somewhat more prosperous) was circumcised at birth.

I just stumbled across a survey published by JackinWorld (http://www.jackinworld.com/library/surveys/survey2.html) reguarding circumcisons (I was actually looking for something totally unrelated!). But what I found really facinating was the percentage of people circumcised, broken down by country:

U.S. : Circumcised :76.5%Uncircumcised:23.5%

California: 69.8%

Texas: 77.4%

New York: 65.0%

The South 83.3% (Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia):

Canada: 58.8%

United Kingdom: 28.6%

Australia: 33.3%

This sample was taken from 603 people in March and April 1997 by people aged 21 years and under.

Right, much much earlier. Starting around 1870-ish, it was a cure for everything, even such things as masturbation, rape, and balding.

The thing is, when doing research, scientists/doctors/whatever will always find the results they want to find. (and foreskin probably about is as likely to cause cervical cancer drinking tap water, in reality).

However, you're an adult, and it's your cock. So do whatever the hell you want with it(as long as it doesn't hurt somebody else.
