heck yeah some one slicing into the skin on you penis is going to hurt at any age. think of all the nerves. it hurts really bad for about a week and you'll still be a bit soar for a month. if you don't need it don't do it. and if a doc says you do check with a few others if your in the USA as many of them just say cut if off cause they do not know how to treat problems any other way than circ. don't do it cause its cleaner or cause girls like it... those things are both untrue.

I had it done in my mid-30's . Local anesthesia only was used, I was in and out same afternoon. I remained numb way past midnite and so felt no pain at all.
next 3 weeks had soreness, swelling of tissues but no Pain to speak of. I am not a crybaby, are U ? you gotta take it like a MAN and if I did it - then so can U !!
After 3 weeks my sutures self-absorbed into the body. and now I have a neat, clean, streamlined, slick, handsome all-American cut prick which I love to see and touch.
I say to you: GO FOR IT!!!!! don't be afraid. just do it.
You will wait 4-5 weeks before resuming sex. but it's worth the wait.
i hope I've helped.

I just wanted to add that as a woman, I personally think circumcision is a GOOD idea.
I do not find the "extra skin" sexy at all!
I dated a man who was uncircumsized, the sex was very complicated, and even painful at times for him because of the friction ont he forskin.
He hated it. He resented his parents for not getting it done when he was a child.
Plus he was very embarresed by it.
He had to shower atleast 3 times a day just to keep it clean enough not to smell or get sore.
I think you should go for it, and save yourself a life of Mental pain and anxiety.

It's not as painful as you might imagine. A couple of days of discomfort. Several weeks of don't touch. And, good as new.
Here's where the anti-circumcision guys and gals will get all het up and rage against the practice. One of the things they will holler about is the loss of sensitivity. Well, I had my circumcision at 25, for medical reasons, and sex feels just as good now (20 years later) as it did then.

hi, was not painful at all when i got mine circumcised at 23. just uncomfortable for a few weeks. may hurt to pee if you have the frenlum removed. but otherwise all good. 2 weeks to be comfortable. 5 - 8 weeks to be healed enough for sex.
your women will be very happy, mine was.

Its my understanding that it is quite painful just after the foreskin is cut off, but that it fades fairly quickly. I think a big thing is made of the pain more for social/cultural reasons than for its actual degree of pain.

Circumcision is nowadays PAINLESS with anesthesia, so you will not feel anything. Its an easy, quick and virtually no risk procedure.
In about one week your penis will be healed and you will be more than fine.
Circumcision also has many benefits, 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.
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.
Have a look at: http://www.baby-health.net/articles/381.html
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. So it is NOT true that circumcision reduces sensivility. 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.
PS: Its not true that the doctor needs an erection from you, as Jake C says.

It is an outpatient surgery so you should be fine.
Obviously, you shouldnt go out and have sex the same night as your surgery but it really isnt that painful. You should be fine in a week or so.

The real pain will come when you realise what a big mistake you've made - and that you can't undo it! You can never get that nice, moist, sensitive SEXY foreskin back!
The pain of knowing that you've made your sex life permanently less satisfying (for your partner and yourself) will last until you decide to make lemonade out of the lemon of being mutilated, and then you'll come on Yahoo Answers and lie about how great it is to have your glans rubbing on your underwear all the time. Misery loves company.
