Should I get circumsized?
Well, should I? What's your opinion/thoughts on this ladies? By the way, I'm 22 male livin' in Cali.
And if so, should I get a tight or loose....high or low...and frenulum intact or not?
Tight= inner and out skin removed. scar is visible whe soft. no loose skin on shaft.
Loose= just the outer skin is removed, so theres loose (inner) shaft skin but head is completely exposed. the loose skin bunches up under the head when soft and scar is hidden.
High= the scar is placed far down on the shaft so about half the shaft is a scar.
Low= the scar is placed near the glans only and most of the shaft is not a scar.
so Loose-high, loose-low, tight-high, or tight-low?

Oh, goodness. We just had a baby boy and decided to NOT get him cut.
If it's vanity you're concerned with - DON'T BE. Like someone before me said, we are not focused on it as women. In fact, I have yet to think of a unit as being "pretty" or "attactive" haha. If anything, being intact makes yours unique.
It's also my understanding that you will lose more sensitivity by getting cut. It would be like a woman having her clitoral hood removed. Those nerves would be exposed ALL the time, and of the years you will lose sensitivity.
I also understand when you're your age, it's REAL painful. Don't do it.

I couldn't even read all of your post because it sounds too painful. I would definitely recommend not getting circumcised.
I can see how girls don't like an uncircumcised guy, but I think if a girl likes you and wants to get in a relationship with you, she won't care one way or the other.
If it's something you want to do for you, then do it. You'll be in pain for awhile, but if it's worth it you...

Loose-high
and...
CIRCUMCISION IS VERY BENEFICIAL, its cleaner and several research bodies have concluded that circumcised men have less risk of contracting STD's such as AIDS-HIV or herpes.
Uncircumcised penises are difficult to keep clean, and more prone to infections and penile cancer, studies have shown.
A circumcised penis is naturally clean and virtually free from urinary infection. You will not have to worry again with careful washing of your penis.
Is it NOT true that the AAP (American Academy of Paediatrics) does not recommend circumcision. They simply say they leave the decision to parents. But recently, and specially after the New Zealand study, the AAP has been discussing if it may be necessary to change their policy and recommend circumcision to all newborns as they used to do, so in the future we may see that the AAP advocates again circumcision.

About STD's:
As I said, several studies carried out by prestigious research bodies have concluded that uncircumcised penises are more prone to infections and contraction of STD's, including AIDS-HIV. Circumcised men have been proved to be up to seven times less likely to be infected than those who are uncircumcised. Have a look at this site: http://icuxbridge.icnetwork.co.uk/news/tm_objectid=14095142&method=full&siteid=53340&headline=-circumcision-protects-against-aids--name_page.html
As for women, studies also show that circumcision also protects female partners from AIDS-HIV and other STD's. Browse this article: http://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/Press_releases/2006/02_08_06.html
About sensitivity of a circumcised penis:
No medical or physiological study has proved that circumcision reduces sensitivity, opposed common belief. The American Academy of Paediatrics (AAP) confirms this on their web site; have a look at: http://www.aap.org/pubed/zzzjzmemh4c.htm
Circumcision is an easy and nowadays painless procedure, which has many benefits, and virtually no risks.
Circumcision is NOT an amputation. Circumcision is NOT comparable at all to female circumcision, which is something completely different.
Circumcision rates are INCREASING nowadays, both in the United States and overseas. Many African and South American countries with little circumcision tradition are starting to promote the procedure to help to reduce the AIDS-HIV infection rates.

No, don't mess with something that you were born with, it's about as senseless as getting studs inserted in your body, you will actually preform better if you don't, I didn't and at 72 I'm still going strong, new medical findings state that it is a totally worthless procedure, only the surgeon benefits!

There is rarely any good medical reason for circumcision. In a adult, it hurts like hell and provides no advantages. As long as you keep the area under the foreskin clean you won't have any problems

I am with a guy that is uncircumcised and I don't see a problem with it at all. I'm guessing yours is just a vanity problem, so if it is something that you must do I would say loose-low

Too many choices. When my babies were done, it was just done. It seems like you're worried an awful lot about how it will look. Don't. Girls aren't that interested in looking at it. If you're healthy, leave it be. Supposedly you'll have more feeling anyway.

I commend you for all the research and thought you have given to this procedure...best to get an appointment with a urologist and discuss the details and make decisions

Ok why is this in the womens health catagory? And it is up to you on that matter. Pick which ever one is good for you. Also either way circumcisen makes it easier to clean and take care of.
