Foreskin Removal aka Circumcision?

Question

I have a tight foreskin and will probably be getting circumcised what should I tell my doctor I want done? I want my frenulum removed because it's very sensitive and can rip. Should I get a high and tight? I don't know what I should tell my doctor so I get the best cut. DO NOT POST RESPONSES TELLING ME TO GET A DORSAL SLIT OR ABOUT HOW CIRCUMCISION IS NOT NECESSARY. THANKS.

Answer 1

Yes, you should tell your doctor and get a surgery !!!

Answer 2

I am probably one of the very few people who have experienced life with all three possible versions of penis a man can have, and as a man (intact, loosely circumcised, and tightly). These are my observations:

An intact penis is fun to have, and as long as there is access to soap and water, I see no drawbacks other than the fact that, once you begin to be sexually active, you will experience the natural limiations nature imposed on us in terms of ease of penetration. Yes, sex can be painful for men, too, if only when you go too fast. When uncircumcised, this can be experienced, and when using condoms, there is the annoying aspect of condom entrapment in a fold of foreskin, which can make you hate condoms. As for "looks and smells terrible", like fanatic circ advocates phrase it, come on, it's not that bad.

Then there's the loose circ, which I got aged 18, admittedly because I thought it was cool - like people who get themselves tattooed, kind of. Strangely, that actually did look unattractive, and my girlfriend was unnervingly quick to tell me so. It also has the very technical disadvantage of trapping pubic hair between glans and rolled back leftover skin, which tugs painfully on the hair, plus a loosely circed penis has the disadvantage of continuous rolling backwards and forwards of the remaining foreskin in varying stages of erection, which tends to feel uncomfortable and somehow collects textile material, which builds up under the leftover foreskin over a day and ironically aggravates the hygiene aspect.

So I went back to another doctor some time later and had him take off the rest. It would be easy for me now to proclaim "and that is best!", and it is actually perfectly fine. Anyway, what the tight circ is like: Everyone I've ever been with since loved the looks of it and was ready to engage in spontaneous sexual activities they weren't going to do before circ; I like the way it looks, too, and actual sex with it is hands down superior to the other two experiences. Much more direct, although I don't think the female partners notice a difference at that stage, with the exception of slightly increased staying power, which I have clocked for the sceptics out there. So there, it does make you last longer, but it's questionable whether longer also makes you better, right? As for disadvantages: When engaging in sports activities, it is advisable to choose undergarments wisely, because it can get irritating; and at times when I didn't have a partner, I was often thinking "wouldn't it be nice to have the attachment back for a little bit of fun".

I know I haven't made a decision here or you, but that'll be on you anyway. This is my story, feel free to draw conclusions as you see fit.

All the best.

I looked at the website over there. The guy's not even a Rabbi -- why would anyone make a religious decision based on his opinion? The debate over circumcision has been going on for thousands of years, and there are valid (nonreligious) reasons both ways. P.S. Did you know that a baby's platelet count is highest between 5 and 10 days after birth? It is never higher before or after that period. That is a medical fact - you can go look it up. That's when the circumcision is done.

NIH backs circumcision in AIDS fight
Procedure an effective way to stop HIV, says National Institutes of Health

Circumcising adult men is an effective way to limit transmission of the virus that causes AIDS. The National Institutes of Health announced today that two clinical trials in Africa have been stopped because an independent monitoring board determined the treatment was so effective that it would be unethical to continue the experiment.

"We now have confirmation — from large, carefully controlled, randomized clinical trials —showing definitively that medically performed circumcision can significantly lower the risk of adult males contracting HIV through heterosexual intercourse," said Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease. "While the initial benefit will be fewer HIV infections in men, ultimately adult male circumcision could lead to fewer infections in women in those areas of the world where HIV is spread primarily through heterosexual intercourse."

The NIH has been sponsoring two trials — one with 5,000 men, ages 15 to 49, in Uganda and a second with 2,784 men, 18-24, in Kenya. Half the men voluntarily underwent circumcision. The men were then monitored for about two years. Far more of the uncircumcised men became infected with HIV.

The studies found that the circumcised men in the Kenyan study were 48 percent less likely to get infected and 53 percent less likely in the Ugandan study.


This finding appears to apply only to heterosexual transmission, which is the main mode of spread in Africa.

Male circumcision is common at birth in the United States. But in sub-Saharan Africa, home to more than half of the world’s almost 40 million HIV-infected people, there are large swaths of populations where male circumcision is rare.

Circumcision is not perfect protection, Fauci stressed. Men who become circumcised must not quit using condoms nor take other risks — and circumcision offers no protection from HIV acquired through anal sex or injection drug use, he noted.

“It’s not a magic bullet, but a potentially important intervention,” agreed Dr. Kevin De Cock of the World Health Organization.

These findings present enormous ethical and policy decisions which have yet to be addressed. But scientists say the reduction of infection is so substantial that the findings cannot be ignored.

Answer 5

Congratulations for your decision. I'm sure you'll be much happier after the procedure.

I'd advice you for a semi-tight and high.

Now some information on circumcision...

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. It is completely FALSE that circumcision reduces penis sensitivity. 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.

Finally, this site has a lot of useful and *unbiased* information. Make sure you have a good look: http://www.circinfo.net

Answer 6

YES - GET CIRCUMCIZED

At age 28 I did rather reluctantly & my ex girlfriend was also rahter reluctant at the time but we were both bloody glad I did.

My is loose & my only regret is not getting it done tighter & the only other regret is not getting it done sooner coz I would've never have got it done at all if I'd listened to all the anti circ crap on the net.

To answer your question get it high & tight with the frenulum removed.

Might get meself recirced one day

Answer 7

if you stik your fingrs under your foreskin and pull to the sides eveuly it will become more losse and ezer to sliyd up and down.
hope this helped

Answer 8

If you want a circumcision so damn bad you sure as hell can have mine! I have had this damn thing for 50 years and I have been trying to get rid of it but so far no luck.

Answer 9

"DO NOT POST RESPONSES TELLING ME TO GET A DORSAL SLIT OR ABOUT HOW CIRCUMCISION IS NOT NECESSARY. THANKS."

So, since you already know about these options can we just assume that you have done your research and that you also know there are better places online for this type of fetish?

Answer 10

VERY SIMPLE, JUST TELL YOUR M.D. YOU WANT ADULT CIRCUMCISION. HE'LL DO THE REST.
