My husband recently began thinking about getting circumcised. Oddly enough i've never been with a circumcised man and didn't really know how to respond when he told me he was thinking about having it done? Is it really any different at all? Will lovemaking feel different? Has anyone been in a similar situation? Well any answers/advice would help really.

It will probably boost his confidence a bit...make him feel like a part of the herd. I am surprised that you've only been with uncircumsized men....are you European? Because little American peckers can't get past the hospital door without a snip at the foreskin!
Now for you...I am sure because he was "un" you were able to climax through intercourse, because for him, the foreskin slips back over the nerve endings allowing him to endure. Once it is removed, his pleasure will more than likely be heightened, and will not be able to "last" quite as long as he did before.
There's also a hygiene factor. But support him if he really wants to do this. Its for your health too. He has the potential to infect you (not purposely ofcourse) with bacterial infections because of it.

I don't know if you will notice any difference. Your husband might notice a decrease in sensitivity over time because the sensitive parts are more exposed all the time. To the best of my knowledge, the only real reason to get circumcised as an adult (besides preference) is because it's easier to keep clean. But I have known a couple people who had it done as adults and say it hurt really bad until it heals.

Well, I don't think sex will feel any different. As far as I understand, there's virtually no way to tell the difference between a circumcised guy and an uncircumcized one when they're erect. This is a personal decision on his part and as long as it doesn't bother you, I think the best thing you can do is be loving and supportive!

People are usually circumcised because of their religion. For example, most Catholics are and most Jewish people are not.
Others do it because they think it is healthier to be circumcized.
It makes no difference in love making. If it did that would radically alter peoples perception of it.
I'm just wondering what brought this on? It's really wierd that someone out of the blue chooses it. I'd be more upset that my husband only just told me about it. What's going on in his mind?

I was circumcised when I was a baby. I have not noticed a difference in the love making. :-)
Seriously, I don't think you will notice a difference, but this is a good thing to do as far as health goes for the man and his partner. Less prone to possible infections.
Remember, its not what you have but what you do with it.

I think your post should be under Marriage & Divorce - but anyway..
I've never been w/a man who isn't. That a grown man is thinking about it blows my mind - it's a far less than pleasant experience. Beleive me I watched it done to my son & the idea that infants can't experience pain is riddiculous.
If you husband is a good lover it shouldn't change much. He will have to get used to the new increased sensation to the head, so he may be 'faster' for a while.

Ouch......you didn't say why he wants to, so I guess it must just be a easier to keep clean etc. thing...I can't help wondering where you live that you have never been with a circumcised man before, but that is my mind wandering.....anyway.......it won't feel good to him..i do know that....sex will be the same after a while..

Him getting circumcised can lower your risk of cervical cancer. This is probably something he has thought about for a while. If it will make him feel better about himself, then be supportive. Everything else will be the same, once he has healed.

From what I understand it shouldn't be different for you. But, it will be for him. If he does his research he will learn that being uncircumcised makes him more sensitive and he has more sensations/feelings. After he is circumcised he will not have as much sensation as he has now (removing the foreskin removes nerve endings). My uncle had this done when he was in his 30s and he regretted doing it.

My husband has half jokingly said he would like to do this as well. If it doesn't bother you that he isn't then I would try reassuring him that he's perfect the way he is & that it's not necessary. He's lived this long with it as is!
As far as a difference if he goes through with it- it will be more sensitive for awhile because it's been covered & now will be more exposed.
