The hospital missed circumcise my foreskin when I was a baby so my mother took me to the doctor this morning to get my foreskin circumcised. I am 12 years old now. I was always afraid to push the foreskin all the way back so the Dr. did and the head popped out. It felt funny. All my freinds are circumcised so that there foreskin stay back and there heads show all the time. I have to go back after schools out to get it done. I guess it will hert a little for a few days. My mother says that it is a part of becoming a man. When I go back to school after Christmas it will look like its sposed to with the head sticking out all the time. My freind are that way. I quess it is better that way. I don't like my cloths touching the bare head but was told that the tingling feeling from rubbing against my underwear will go away. How long does this take?

It will NOT HURT AT ALL. Don't believe those you say the opposite. Nowadays *anesthesia* is used, so the procedure is PAINLESS. In about a week your penis will be healed and you'll be perfectly OK. The feeling from rubbing against your underwear will go away in about two weeks.
I'm very glad you made the decistion to get circumcised. You will be much better after the procedure.
Most girls think an uncircumcised penis is just gross and weird, it’s not normal.
Now a few lines about circumcision, keep reading...
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.
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 to 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.
Let me congratulate you again for your forthcoming circumcision and wish you all the best!
PS: Trust your mom, she knows whats the best for you

I hope it's your decision to get it done; if you don't want it done you shouldn't have to get it done, especially if it's not medically necessary (which it sounds like it's not). Most guys in the world aren't circumcised actually and it's not usually a part of becoming a man.
If you get it done, it'll probably leave a scar and that'll be sore for a week or two. It would hurt but you'll be taking painkillers if it does, so that shouldn't be a major problem. The sensitivity and the uncomfortable feeling in the bare head from rubbing things varies from person to person in how long it goes away. For some people it takes weeks, others months, a few years, and rarely more. I believe on average it'll takes a few weeks to a month for you to get used to it, and until then it could be really annoying.

If you are serious, tell your mother you do not want it done! It is not necessary, and there is absolutely no reason to put you through this hideous procedure. It WILL hurt, for weeks. And when you are older, you will enjoy sex a lot less. Tell your mother it is YOUR penis and you want it left whole. Tell the doctor the same thing. If they try to get you to do it anyway, yell, kick, bite, do whatever you have to do! Your genital integrity is worth fighting for.

Don't worry. You'll feel better straight away and the oversensitivity will soon pass. It IS part of becoming a man!
