I'm circumcised and I absolutely hate it. What are my options?

Question

I've been circumcised all my life and it really bothers me that my penis is less sensitive and I have no extra skin. Additionally, because I have no foreskin other skin from the base has been pulled up along the shaft, and this skin has hair on it! Now I have hair 1/3 the way up my penis.

Answer 1

Wow, I see a whole bunch of idiots above me.

It's a very common problem, I suffer from it too. Your only practical option is to go down the road of foreskin stretching to get yourself some slack. You should also consult a doctor who does something like laser hair removal. It's humiliating as hell of course, but you have the choice.

Answer 2

It's amazing that so many people think there is nothing you can do.

I'm very sorry you were cut. That makes you part of a mutilated minority. Over 80% of the world is intact (not circumcised).

Fortunately, foreskin restoration is fairly straightforward. It will take a few weeks to start having a more sensitive glans and inner skin, and well over a year to get back enough slack skin for a natural rolling/gliding skin tube action, but there is one thing you can do right now. Pluck any coarse hairs growing on skin that is forced onto your shaft during erection. Intact guys don't have those, and they make sex uncomfortable for your partner. Once you get rid of them, you'll only need a few minutes a week (like while you're on the toilet) to keep that jungle tamed.

Then to get started get a Your-Skin Cone or Google the O-Ring Method. Either of these lets you effortlessly and comfortably keep the skin you've got left pulled forward over the glans 24/7. Your glans and inner skin will start to rejuvenate right away. Then you can consider what method you will use to tension your skin.

Some guys use medical tape with a technique called T-Taping. The "T" is for the cross section of the tapes while your assembling them, but they don't go on you in a T shape, they actually just wrap around. Google "T-Tape illustrated instructions." You'd need to apply the tape every day and clip an elastic strap to it with the other end of the strap looped below your knee or over your shoulder. The tape is removed at the end of your morning shower.

Many restorers get fed up with tape real quick, and fortunately there is an alternative. Google "Tapeless Foreskin Restoration Devices" to see the wide assortment of solutions available for a modest investment. In some cases, you can rig up something at home that works just like the commercial products.

Above all, keep talking about it. All any of us can really hope to accomplish in this life is to leave the world a better place than we found it. The more people you share your story with, the more guys that will find help, and all the more people who will know better than to cut their babies.

There are websites that explain how to restore your foreskin. These basically explain how stretching tools and/or weights can over time stretch the skin sufficiently that you will have something that looks a bit like a foreskin. However, the original foreskin was actually mucous membrane, which contains a high number of nerve endings. The reconstructed foreskin will just be regular dermis, and will not be sensitive. By covering the glans though, you may see the keratin layer thin, which will allow the nerves on the glans to be more exposed, increasing sensitivity.

There are some experimental surgical techniques, but these are likely to be expensive. See the first link below for a national organization that has a lot of information about how to do this yourself inexpensively (NORM)

Dude, you are the Man! Take your hairy penis to the doctor and find out your options from a true professional!

Answer 5

That sucks, but there really isn't much you can do. You can try searching online for "foreskin restoration" and it seems to work pretty well; however, from what I understand it takes a hell of a long time.

Alternatively, you could try to live with what you've got. I know that's no consolation, but crap happens and we've all got to deal with it. If/when you have kids, and if you have a boy, just remember not to get him circumcised. At least you can get the satisfaction that your kid won't go through what you did.

Answer 6

umm there is no proof that circumsized male is less sensitive,..
and having been circumsized all you life .. how do you know its less sensitive..

and the hair growing 1/3 way up your penis is a little strange but has nothing to do with the fact youve been circumsized.. i am and i dont have this problem.

Answer 7

I too was cut years ago and wish I had my foreskin back today. They say their are ways to restore what was lost years ago. Any know what do they with foreskins after are removed?

Answer 8

U know what that is perfectly noraml and there is nothing you can do about it. My man is not circumcised and my ex was and you know what I peferr circumcised men. I want my current boyfriend to get circumcsed because it is just more fun and clean for us women and that extra skin can get in the way on many levels that you are lucky you don't have to deal with, trust me. Be proud of your man hood and trust me circumcised is the way to go.

You have a few options. Some websites offer "lessons" on regrowing foreskins and other methods.
