Has anyone else had this done at arround this age?, I kno that they slice etc. but how bad is it? and what is the exact result as opposed to having a foreskin, I kno what it looks like but what is it actualy like?

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

I was cut hard and tight at birth that caused my glans to split open after puberty, amongst other malfunctions. I learned from intact guys how to elongate their tight frenular area and loosen up the tight ring to avoid having to cut it off. I modified their methods and now after 6 years of tugging I have at least 4 inches of extra shaft skin and can keep my glans protected while at rest. The methods are similar to the ways Africans stretch their ear lobes and lips in some culture. Not hard, just time consuming, but very rewarding. Didn't your father teach you how to use it correctly and safely? These problems can be avoided with properly educated fathers. Mothers think we men must be cut as punishment for the original sin of worshipping false male gods.

My husband was uncircumcised when we married and had the same problem. To be truthful initially the circumcision was very uncomfortable for him but there are good drugs available to get you through it. On the other hand when he became circumcised he was larger when he was aroused. He never had a problem once he was healed up. Good luck.

I can't help U a lot. I'm your age, and I have to do it too. My dad is a doc, and he keeps telling me that it's best to do it on birth, or in early years and puberty.
