im 17 do i need to be Circumcision..Also...you have to pull it back to have sex is this true?

Answer 1

Don't listen to the ignorants. You don't need a circumcision. Billions of men in the world are not circumcised. In the U.S. nowadays, the rate of circumcision is about 50 percent

Answer 2

You don't need to be circumcised unless it's medically necessary. It's only medically necessary when the opening of your foreskin is so tight/narrow that erections are painful, and if you have recurrent and frequent irritations/infections despite everything you do. There are also other random (and exceedingly rare) cases that may require circumcision, but the two above are just about it.

The foreskin is different from person to person. In some people it may be long enough to cover the glans (penis head) even with an erection. In others it might be so short that part (or all) of the glans shows, even while unerect. As long as you can pull your foreskin back so the glans is exposed then you're okay.

If not, then you probably have a condition called phimosis, where the opening of the foreskin is too tight/narrow. Stretching exercises resolves this problem in the majority of cases. Take two fingers and stretch the opening of the foreskin as far as it'll go without pain or major discomfort (like increasing its radius) by hooking a finger on either side of the opening. It's a little hard to describe and may take a few tries to get right. Do this exercises for a few minutes each day for a few weeks to a month.

If after a month you're still have problems pulling back your foreskin, ask your doctor about prescription creams that're supposed to help, especially when combined with stretching exercises. If after a month or so this doesn't work, then consider surgical options. Circumcision, even here, is not necessary, as there are more conservative operations (see link). Circumcision should really be your last resort unless you either really want it done, or it's medically needed.

Answer 3

Men have been having sex since there were men, and very few of them were or are circumcised. I'm sure you've heard that European (Italian, French etc) men are great lovers - well, circumcision is very rare in Europe. What about those studs from Africa? Not circumcised! There just might be a connection, don't you think? In fact more than 80% of the men in the world are intact, and they manage to have sex just fine.

You don't have to pull it back to have sex, as it pulls itself back when you have an erection. If it doesn't pull back when you're erect, you might need to stretch it a little, but you sure don't need to chop it off!

Answer 4

No, you don't have to be circumcised. As to the pulling back thing? Don't worry about it, you don't. Even if you did you would be fine because when you have an erection, the skin pulls back anyway. You probably don't want a circumcision because not only will it be extremely painful when you pee, stand, breath, have erections, eat, sleep, etc. but the head of your penis will eventually become very insensitive. So your arousal rate and orgasm strength will go down. BAD! I am uncircumcised like you, around your age and my sex life is GREAT! It's not a huge sex life granted my age, but it sure feels good! Don't worry about a thing!

Answer 5

If you've ever had an erection, you would know that you don't have to pull the foreskin back to have sex. It's too bad you haven't been circumcised before now because the older you are, the more painful it will be to get circumcised. Just make sure they don't cut too much skin off because your erections will be painful for the rest of your life. Also, you can easily get a yeast infection from a woman after sex if you're not circumcised.

Answer 6

Every man should be circumcised! Certainly, if you cannot pull your foreskin back all the way to fully expose the groove behind the head, you will not be able to perform a basic hygiene routine and you will have lousy sex! Few women would want to have sex with a man who could not retract his foreskin and most much prefer a circumcised man. Get it done as soon as possible!

Answer 7

You definitely do not have to get circumcised. My question to you is....what is your fear of pulling the skin back? Do you have an overly tight foreskin that makes it difficult to retract all the way back to expose the glans? To answer your question about whether or not you have to pull it back to have sex......well, my answer is no, you DON'T have to pull it back, but it's much more pleasurable if you do. You see, the glans (head) is the most sensitive, and erogenous zone on your penis.......which means that if it's exposed during sex, you will get the full effect of the sensual sensations. If you have sex with the foreskin covering the glans (head), you might get a good sensation, but not as intense. I would definitely advise you to pull the skin back to expose the glans.....it will make a world of a difference.
Best of Luck!

Answer 8

By doing circumcision you will avoid lot of dieses. More over you you will recover by circumcision in few days. After that when you will do sex with out condom, the enjoyment you and your partner will have you can not imagine. so go head.

Answer 9

No, you don't have to be circumcised, and you don't have to pull it back when you have sex. But you should use a condom each and every time, not just to keep yourself and your mate STD free, but also to avoid breeding.

Answer 10

YES definetely.


CIRCUMCISION IS VERY BENEFICIAL, its cleaner, healthier and several prestigious research institutions have proved that circumcised men have less risk of contracting STD's such as AIDS-HIV, syphilis 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 infections. 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 recent studies by the US National Institutes of Health, 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 circumcision again.

About STD's:

As I said, several studies carried out by prestigious research bodies have proved that uncircumcised penises are more prone to infections and contraction of STD's, including AIDS-HIV. It has been confirmed that circumcised men are up to 70% less likely to be infected than those who are uncircumcised. Have a look at this site: http://www.torontodailynews.com/index.php/HealthNews/2006121404Circumcision

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 ever shown 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, Asian and Latin American countries with little circumcision tradition are starting to promote the procedure to help to reduce the AIDS-HIV infection rates.
