I am thinking about making this circumcision thing my question is...?

Question

Will I ever get used to it once the procedure is done? A friend told me it is not good to make circmcision as an adult unless it's strictly necessary. What do you think?

I am 29 years old. No, it's not extremely necessary that I do this. Thank for your answers guys I don't think I should do this to be honest.

Answer 1

If you are doing this for religious reasons, then I guess you must do what you must do. I do not personally believe that God asks men to do this anymore.

For those who say it does not hurt a child, they do not know what they are talking about. I've seen it done. IT HURTS!

Also, there are a lot of nerve endings in the foreskin. If you are sexually active, then it will definitely alter your experience.

Many men have no trouble at all keeping their penis clean with a foreskin...come on people, this is the 21st century! We have soap, hot water...

I would only do this (if I were you) if I had more than one doctor telling me I had to, or if it were a matter of religion. NO OTHER GOOD REASON to do it!

Answer 2

For all those who say circumcision is beneficial for medical reasons, that is just a myth perpetuated by the medical establishments. Besides Canada, we are the only nation to recommend it for such reasons.

You know why? In the late 1800s, doctors told parents that it would keep their boys from masturbating when they got older. No other proven medical benefits. Which, of course, doesn't stop masturbation.

The American Association of Pediatrics no longer recommends this procedure, unless it is for religious or cultural reasons.

An association in Europe has called for the end of the practice of routine circumcision in American boys for purely medical reasons, citing that it is unnecessary.

Others say that it diminishes sexual pleasure, because the penis is actually an internal organ that is made into an external organ through circumcision. The normally lubricated glans becomes dry, and needs more pressure to be stimulated.

Finally, there is the myth that women don't like uncircumcised men. I don't know where this was started, but it's not true.

Answer 3

It is more hygenic to have it done, but that is only true for people that are not keeping their junk clean. I would look into this and get all the info you can. Also if your serious about this, talk to your urologist. They can tell you all the pro's and con's, and also refer you to people they have done the procedure on. I would worry about getting an erection after the procedure.......wouldn't that tear the skin that is healing? Good luck!

Answer 4

Your friend is right. Circumcision as an adult can be extremely painful and irritating. You only need to go ahead if only it is absolutely necessary for you to do so.

Answer 5

You will, eventually get used to it. But it isn't a good idea. Aside from the pain and discomfort, and there will be a lot of both, there are risks of infection and the ever-present possibility of a botched job. Either one could result in impotence.

Answer 6

One should never mutilate one's body in any way unless there is a very good reason for doing so. Get a doctor's advice.

Answer 7

Unless it is necesary for the physical health of a person, there is no reason. At ANY age. Ask the doctors.

Answer 8

i know of a good lookin doctor who hasnt had a circumcision and hes in his 50s, so my advice is to not get one, be happy with what u've got

Answer 9

RECONSIDER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MOTHERS, the feelings of mothers who observed the circumcision of their babies. Go here if you have the courage:
http://www.circumcision.org/mothers.htm
They do not remember the pain when they grow up, but I wonder what kind of neurological damage it does to inflict such severe pain to such a young one!

In the US circumcision started to stop boys from masturbating; they will take much longer to reach the orgasm, and the orgasm will not be as intense, but that will not stop them.
Nowadays the “medical” reasons to circumcision are for Doctors to make MONEY!!!

RELIGION--If God intended boys to not have "skin" He would have made them so.
http://www.nocirc.org/religion/

HYGIENE--Use a new invention, soap and water!!! Women produce much more “smegma”, all kinds of discharges, wetness, and smells; because of physiologic and anatomical reasons, and how would you feel if they cut your vulva lips??? Women, why don’t you answer my question, are you afraid? Baby girls are more likely to get urinary tract infections and no one suggests we surgically alter them at birth to reduce the risks! Just one of many double standards and laws that always treat men worse.

MEDICAL REASONS--No medical reasons. A extremely small chance of a complication do not justify the removal of the foreskin, if so, why don't we remove the tonsils and the appendix when a child is born, and the chance of complications of the tonsils and the appendix is much greater. And for infections of all the organs, including female organs, use a new invention called antibiotics. Talking about complications, in fact many baby boys die each year from circumcision and related complications.
EVEN if phimosis occurs, instead of chopping it off like barbarians!, use Conservative Treatments like:
-Topical Medication(non-traumatic and non-destructive)
-Dilation and Stretching(non-traumatic and non-destructive)
-Combination treatment(non-traumatic and non-destructive)
-Preputioplasty is the medical term for plastic surgery of the prepuce or foreskin(many methods).
If you want more detail on Conservative Treatments, go here:
http://www.cirp.org/library/treatment/phimosis/
http://www.circinfo.org/alternatives.html
And now they invented a new reason to make money, the risk of STD in uncircumcised men. Well actually uncircumcised men have more protection, but in practical terms that protection means nothing, because circumcised or not, if you have sex without protection and your partner have an STD you will be infected FOR SURE! That means, it is just one more stupid and desperate reason in order to make money with circumcisions.

SEX--Foreskin actually enhances the sexual experience for men because it constantly moves over the head of the penis causing more friction and pleasure. Men will also lose much sensitivity to the glans if circumcised.
Circunsized men will have to deal with disconfot and dry glans.
The foreskin have those functions: protective, erogenous, sensory, and sexual physiologic. After all, why would you want to lose all of those “Meissner corpuscles”, the same nerve complexes which provide fine touch to the fingertips?
It is there for many reasons, that is how a man should be(it is natural).
If women like it better circumcised because it looks better(strange, not natural) or gives them more sexual pleasure(strange, not natural), then too bad, they do not have the right! All men do not like mutilated vulvas, and all men like breasts with nipples, they do not like mutilated breasts, etc, etc, etc, because that is the way those organs are supposed to be, it is natural. Interesting, isn’t?!!!

If that was a common practice to do that to baby girls, all the women would be in a big uproar about it(and men too!, men are not like women), but it’s ok to mutilate little boys. The great majority of the ones that agree with circumcision are women for their stupid selfish reasons. Even court cases reported in which mother and father fight because the mother wants to mutilate the son, it is always the mother!. You women should be ashamed to that to your son. Men that are not circumcised, will not get circumcised when adults, they would scream, kick, fight and run, if someone tries to mutilate their privates area, just like you women would run too if someone tried to do that to your labia. Men that where circumcised do not realize what they lost because never had one, and most of them that do realize try to justify it so they do not feel bad about it. Many circumcised men feel very bad emotionally because of what was done to them to such a private area.
It is mutilation of defenceless children in the most private spot, genital mutilation.
It is cruel and barbaric.
It is a human rights violation.
It is not the parent’s decision; it is the parents decision if they want to abuse him, rape him, or to kill him?.
I do not even agree that it is ok if an adult man wants to get circumcised. I think it is wrong, because if a man wants to lose a finger, the Doctor can not do that to him. Think about it, think, think. And by the way, adult men that decide to get circumcised, do it because they know most women like it, they just do it to be more accepted by women.
I think it is just like slavery and all other barbaric acts of the past, it was accepted because it was common practice or tradition, everyone accepted slavery without questioning the facts, but it is not accepted anymore in a modern and fair and civilized society. Circumcision must not be allowed, BY LAW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 10

dear penis cutter,
Circumcision is better for your health. This is a medical fact. In about two or three weeks your minor pain should be gone.
