Considering circumcision?

Question

Girls

I am considering circumcision for aesthetics reasons. I have no problems regarding my foreskin at all. But I have been thinking about going through circumcision for some time, I mean maybe not a tight one. My question is, do you think it is a good idea? Or should I leave it the way it is as it is not causing me any problem?

Answer 1

do NOT do it, you will end up regretting it later, there are lots of men who got themselves circumcised, and really lived to regret their decision of having it done, some are in the process of restoration of it.

another thing to consider, while having sexual intercourse with a woman, if you are circumcised, you will have more hair on your shaft sliding in and out of her, and in turn can cause some iratation to her, as with the foreskin, there is no hair, and can make sex more of a pleasure for her. not to mention the extra foreplay that can be involved with the foreskin.

from a personal experience, I was cut as an infant, I sure wish that I was left intact, however, back in December, I started restoring my foreskin, and since that time, I have grown some new skin, and what a difference that has made for me during masturbation, I have a long ways to go, but I sure got a good start.

whatever you do, do some serious research of men who have had it done and get their input, you will find that more men who got that done as an adult really have regrets.

I have noticed on plenty of forums that many gay men who have been cut and has cut partners will prefer cut men, they have never experienced a man with foreskin, and have their heads filled with a lot of bs about uncut men.

consider yourself so damn lucky that you still have a foreskin and was able to escape the circumcision knife, please don't go through with it.

Answer 2

I'm not a girl, but I think doing it for aesthetic reasons is a bad idea. If you're not having any problems you should really leave it the way it is.

Circumcision removes a lot of nerve endings found in the foreskin, and thus reduces sensations. One study shows that it reduces sensitivity quite significantly (see links 1 and 2). In addition, it can also decreases the satisfaction for not only the man, but the woman as well (see link 3 and 4).

Despite it decreasing sexual pleasure for you and probably your partner, you should know that recent studies have shown circumcision to decrease the HIV contraction rate. This doesn't really apply to those who aren't at risk and practice safe sex (i.e. condom use and monogamy), as safe sex wins over circumcision anyway. Furthermore, proper and prompt hygiene of the uncircumcised penis has also been shown to essentially negate this difference between uncircumcised and circumcised men in regards to HIV (see link 5). The debate about the link between circumcision and HIV is far from over, as there are opponents criticizing the methods and consequences of the research (see links 6-9), so I'd hesitate to lean towards circumcision on the HIV link alone.

In summary, if it's not causing any problems don't get circumcised. If you get circumcised for purely aesthetic reasons, you'll probably end up regretting it.

Answer 3

If you have no problems, I'd rethink that. New studies (as in from this year) have found (again) that circumcision reduces sensitivity and pleasure during masturbation and sex:

I'm sure you and I know that keeping it clean is no problem, compared to what many think (it just takes a few seconds to slide back and rub that head, which feels good).

Also, when erect, whether circumcised or uncircumcised they look very similar since the foreskin slides back. The only difference is that during sex and masturbation the foreskin slides up and down to stimulate the head.

But being uncircumcised, you have the right to choose. =)

I'm a moderator at a forum site and I haven't seen guys or gals complaining about being uncircumcised. Girls may tend to say they prefer what they're used to (circumcised in most of the US) but after having experience with one, it seems like almost all end up liking it; then again, in places where circumcision isn't practiced like in Europe, Latin America, and Asia they aren't having any problems...

Answer 4

I practise family medicine and did some work on urology. I had it done too. Not just for aesthetics, but for hygiene and health. It has always been believed, and now it is proven in studies, that the foreskin serves no real purpose anymore (kind of like the appendix) and can actually increase your risk of sexually transmitted disease.

To be blunt, I have been assured (on several memorable occasions) that it is far more pleasant to perform oral sex on a circumcised penis.

Do it. I have never regretted it.

Answer 5

Don't do it!!! This is a permanent change. If you don't like it, and in all probability you won't, it's still gone forever.

Circumcision cuts WAY down on sexual enjoyment for the man due to loss of nerve-rich foreskin. A new study proves conclusively, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that circumcision decreases sensitivity for the man. http://www.blackwell-synergy.com/doi/abs/10.1111/j.1464-410X.2006.06685.x

Getting cut causes the glans (head) to develop a keratinized layer to protect from rubbing on clothing, further cutting sensation. Many cut men are unable to ejaculate during intercourse and have to finish "by hand." Intact men can go all the way.

And nine out of ten women who have had both prefer intact penises: http://www.healthcentral.com/drdean/408/60750.html That's really pretty definitive.

You will be decreasing the sexual enjoyment of yourself and any woman you are with for the rest of your life. Leave it alone. It's a functioning body part, not a fashion accessory.

Answer 6

Don't fix it if it ain't broken. Circumcision is painful, can cause all kinds of problems, and will leave you super sensitive to chafing of fabric for some time. Eventually (months), you will be fine, but why bother unless there is a real problem. ??? If you keep it clean (constant job, every time you pee, it seems it needs a rinsing), no problem. On an additional note, it has been indicated that circumsized guys gets HIV infections less than those who are uncircumcized. good luck

Answer 7

I think you should. My ex had a circumcision as an adult, he was in pain for a few days, but after a week or so...wow! did that make for better sex. Circumcised is definitely better!!

Answer 8

I thought about having my 4skin chopped off, just becuz I think my weiner would look prettier if I did. But when it comes to women, in all honesty they seem to like the 4skin. They like to play with my c0ck more because it's kind of skwishy, they skwish it in their hand or with their teeth. and i LOVE to just have my c0ck played with. Some hos are different though, I'm just tellin' you my experience.

Answer 9

Please,don't even think about it.Once gone it is gone forever.A friend of mine had it done,even though I tried to persuade him not to and he said that it was the worst decision he had made in his life and is still regretting it more than twenty years after.A decrease in sensation,an ugly scar and the possibility of keloids further decreasing sensitivity,It just isn't worth it.
