My husband recently began thinking about getting circumcised. Oddly enough i've never been with a circumcised man and didn't really know how to respond when he told me he was thinking about having it done? Is it really any different at all? Has anyone been in a similar situation? Well any answers/advice would help really.

I think most people do not like uncircumcised guys because of unfair stereotypes and prejudices. As long as he washes himself it will be clean if he has foreskin or not. There really is no reason to get it done especially if he has gone this long without it. Most people don't like uncircumcised guy because they think it looks weird or it is not what they are used to. I really don't think it makes a difference in the amount of pleasure. It will feel good if he knows how to please you with or without it. It comes down to do you and your husband himself want to hold him up to a standard of "This is how you are supposed to be!" (If that is circumcised or not.) I suggest doing whatever makes you too most comfortable. I really don't think there is a need to do it but if it make you two happy then do it! I think the biggest part of why one is better than the other is all in our minds!

I would wonder why he would want to become circumcised. Circumcision is practiced more for cultural and religious reasons, then for any other reason.
Perhaps your husband heard or read something that raised his anxiety about not being circumcised that prompted him to consider it. You might want to ask about it, as there are many myths about the benefits and dangers of not being circumcised, and then get some good medical advice.
Without a medical reason for a circumcision, I don't know of any reason to do it. There are many nerve endings in the penis that contribute to the sexual experience, and a circumcision may impair their functioning. As someone pointed out earlier, he can't glue his foreskin back on later.
Cleanliness is often cited as a reason, though I would think that as an adult, he would have established a cleansing routine by this time that's second nature.
The only other thing I can think of is related to his self-esteem. Perhaps for some reason, he feels physically unappealling and can't accept himself as he is aesthetically. One might wonder about why his sudden concern about his appearance. In this case, perhaps lots of spousal support and/or a good psychologist, would be helpful.
Finally, although a circumcision is a personal decision, it would be done within the context of your marriage. It would be helpful for him and you to discuss the reasons and risks of having it as a couple. After all, it will affect both of you.
I hope this helps. Good luck!

Ah, the issue of circumcision.. I think what is curious is why your husband has been thinking of this.. is it because of cleanliness or image or what.. I have been with men both circumcised and not.. those who are circumcised wish they had their foreskin because they believe they have lost some sensitivity.. the men with the foreskin feel frustrated because they have sensitivity but it is difficult for condom use with the foreskin, especially as a man ages and his erection is not as hard and he needs to wear condoms.. so you see there are many issues that he needs to be clear about and surgery is surgery even though this wouldn't be serious, it is never a good idea to have a surgery unless there is a good reason for it.. I hope this helps..

A family member was circumcised at 14, and he was in a lot of pain. He had to have it done for medical reasons. He said he would have never chose to have it done. Why would your husband want it done if it doesn't bother you, if your happy with the way he looks he should leave it alone. Plus it might be awhile after surgery before he feels like having sex again.

Tell him not to do it! He will lose some sensitivity in his penis, not to mention the pain of the surgery. There is no health reason to get circumcised and it really is the way nature intended the penis to be. Please advice him that he'll regret having done it - he should be content knowing he has his complete and fully functional penis.

as an adult getting the op will be very pain full in the beginning. then the head of his penis will be very sensitive for the first few weeks. after that there will be no difference in his normal life. he may loose some sensitivity when making love but nothing serious. he just have to be sure of the op. there's no putting back later.

Billions are circumcised, billions aren't. If you and him feel comfortable - no big deal.

I like it better. An uncircumcised one reminds me of those water worms they used to sell and I think it's much cleaner and easier to work with.
