i'm a male at 37 yrs old thinking of getting circumcised. Am i too old to undergo this operation?

Question

What are the available methods of performing these surgery and some good recommendation is appreciated.
Thank you.

Answer 1

37..... does it still work? If not, you're going to go through a lot of pain for nothing.

Answer 2

No you are not to old. The only method of getting it done is surgery. it will be out patient, since the prep time, surgery and recovery time is usually under 4 hours total, unless you go in on a busy day, then you can wait 6 hours for the 10 or so minute surgery and the 30 minutes that it takes to shrug off the anistisia. but I digress. After to procedure you will have a mild fever usually for a day or 2. that is actually normal. then you will have to give it a little time to heal up and then you will be as good as new. it's actually healthier to have it done. when you get older you will be more at risk for UTI's.

Answer 3

Why would you want to mutilate your penis? You will lose a lot of sensation, and sex will never again be as good for either you or your partner than it is now. And the recovery time is going to be very painful - for no good purpose. Take a look at the cry of mental anguish from someone who had it done as an adult: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AhqF0z8I.9CSmrSFtIbTk3bsy6IX?qid=20070101193846AA385UM&show=7#profile-info-fb8a1b49d382006d635917de9dc08b3baa - do you really want to feel that way in a couple of months?

Answer 4

Well mate I got circumcized at age 28

So NO you are not too old

Firstly to answer 0976 - As I said I got circumcized AFTER HAVING A FORESKIN FOR 28 YEARS & it doesn't hurt & the SEX IS GREAT - you were thinking about it ????? And after research decided against it - Well research some more - I used to work with 4 to 5 guys who all got done for different reasons both personal or medical or cosmetic & ALL wish they had've got done earlier.

I say if you want it done get it done life is too short. Don't listen to Maples anti-circ rants. Maple MY SEX LIFE IS AS GOOD AS IT WAS BEFORE I WAS CIRCUMCIZED IF NOT BETTER FOR REASONS STATED BELOW .

I was reluctant as was my ex girlfriend for me to be circumcized as on both sides of our families they all had their foreskins. I got it done like 10 or so yrs ago & didn't listen to all the mutilation, anti-circ arguments that there is now otherwise I would've never got it done coz I probably would've been gulliable to believe people like Maple & others.

Well from someone who has had an adult circumcision so I am someone who speaks from experience - go for it man.

Benefits are

no smegma

no smell {I used to smell only 1/2 an hour after washing - granted this doesn't happen to all uncirced guys but it does happen to some like ME}

I can now pee straight {every guy who has a foreskin can relate to this coz of the foreskin in the way}

I now haven't a foreskin to get caught in my jeans zippier - geez i miss that happening - NOT!!!

I have more intense orgasms

I enjoy both head & hand jobs more coz the head of my penis isn't sooo sensitve from the moist of the foreskin covering it.

My ex who experienced me uncirced & circed said if shev ever had a baby boy he would be circed. the benefits for her were

no smell

she gave me both head and hand jobs AFTER i'd been circed
& had been reluctant particpant before when I was uncired.

My ex thought it felt BIGGER - we reasoned coz there was less skin my penis felt bigger.

My only regret is not getting it done sooner coz the benefits for me have far outweighed anything else. In fact there have been NO negative side effects at all.

I wish I had've known about the different styles of cuts etc. My is more of a loose circ so I may get it tighter later.

Oh yeah the pain afterwards ain't THAT bad - you'll be having sex in 5-6 weeks

Answer 5

you are not too old, Laser would be the best way to do it, heals up quick

but from what I have read, everyone that has done it, has wished they hadn't. They say it's not that great, causes the head to dry up and hurt.

I guess it's something that needs to be done when you are a baby or else you aren't used to it and you can't stand the feeling.

Answer 6

You are not too old, in fact, some men have it done due to urethal stricture as you get older.
Most surgeons can actually do this in the office with local anesthetic.

Answer 7

Last night there was a guy who wanted to do it himself, do you plan to do it yourself as well? If so, look up his question--it had some good answers. But skip the chain saw....

Answer 8

"Full recovery following adult circumcision may require four to six weeks of abstinence from all genital stimulation and sexual activity. "

The website below goes into more detail than I wanted to know.

Answer 9

i dont think you are too old. my dad got it done when he was well over 40 and it was not too terrible (although that surgery is probably not exactly FUN) but i know many males your age and older who have gotten it done with not problems later. just make sure you dont want any(more) kids.
