Is this true? Because all of my friends said that your penis will only in normal if you cut ..................

Question

I'm 15 in july 12, People said that your penis will grow long (not stay in that shape forever) if you cut the extra skin on the top of the cover of it once after you get birth, and they said that if you dont cut it, soon you will wont have babies with your wife, I dont think that is tru, is it?

Answer 1

Your friends are 100% wrong. You are normal because every guy is born with that skin (called the foreskin). It's not even "extra" skin as it does have a purpose.

But first, about 70-80% of the world's male population still has their foreskin, so it has no effect on your ability to have babies with your future wife. Also it has no effect whatsoever on penis size. If that were true, almost every guy would be circumcised to make their penises bigger, but this simply isn't so.

If you're not having any physical/medical problems with your foreskin then you should keep it and don't have it removed. To all your friends, you can tell them that it feels better with the foreskin (which is true, see link 1) and it can make things better for not only you, but your future partner as well (links 2, 3, 4).

So if you're not having any problems, things probably won't feel as good after getting the foreskin cut off. And again, everything your friends said is completely untrue. You are perfectly normal as is in respect to your foreskin (because 70-80% of the world's guys are like you).

Answer 2

Do not worry this is absolutely false!!! Many people do not cut the foreskin off the penis of their children. Your friends are just messing with you. Many women like that too. I am sure your future wife will be happy and you will have many babies. I do hope that you give yourself much more time to worry about any of this though. I would hope at least 10 more years. Relax and have a laugh at your friends now that were lying to you.

Answer 3

Your friends are quite the experts. So you have a foreskin, they apparently don't and were circumcised as infants. Their loss. Having a Foreskin is the normal, natural state of the penis, and over 2 billion of the 3 billion men in the world have foreskins. Certainly has no impact on fertility or ability to procreate, otherwise since circumcism is a relatively recent --in human evolutionary terms ---invention, if your friends were correct they would not be here, nor would you.

Answer 4

Not exactly sure what you are talking about but it sounds like circumcision. If so here are the facts.

Circumcision is the surgical removal of the foreskin, the tissue covering the head of the penis. It is an ancient practice that has its origin in religious rites. Today, many parents have their sons circumcised for religious or other reasons.

When Is Circumcision Done?
Circumcision is usually performed on the first or second day after birth. (Among the Jewish population, circumcision is performed on the eighth day.) The procedure becomes more complicated and riskier in older babies, children, and men.

How Is Circumcision Done?
During a circumcision, the foreskin is freed from the head of the penis (glans), and the excess foreskin is clipped off. If done in the newborn period, the procedure takes about five to ten minutes. Adult circumcision takes about one hour. The circumcision generally heals in five to seven days.

Is Circumcision Necessary?
The use of circumcision for medical or health reasons is an issue that continues to be debated. Currently, the American Academy of Pediatrics does not recommend routine circumcision for newborn males stating the evidence was not significant enough to prove the operation's benefit. The procedure may be recommended in older boys and men to treat phimosis (the inability to retract the foreskin) or to treat an infection of the penis.

Parents should talk with their doctor about the benefits and risks of the procedure before making a decision regarding circumcision of a male child. Other factors, such as your culture, religion, and personal preference, will also impact your decision.

What Are the Benefits of Circumcision?
There is some evidence that circumcision has health benefits, including:

A decreased risk of urinary tract infections.
A reduced risk of sexually transmitted diseases in men.
Protection against penile cancer and a reduced risk of cervical cancer in female sex partners.
Prevention of balanitis (inflammation of the glans) and balanoposthitis (inflammation of the glans and foreskin).
Prevention of phimosis (the inability to retract the foreskin) and paraphimosis (the inability to return the foreskin to its original location).
Circumcision also makes it easier to keep the end of the penis clean.

It has nothing to do with having kids so don't worry about it.

Answer 5

No over 80% of the world's males are intact (uncircumcised) so it's the more normal state. All medical authorities now admit that the risks of infant circumcision outweigh any of the very dubious so-called benefits.The USA is the last western nation still doing this to around half of its baby boys and it’s done horribly without anaesthetic based on the long-outdated belief that babies don’t feel pain.

Using surgery to mutilate the genitals instead of washing in a modern western society makes no sense. Normal intact male genitals are, if anything, easier to wash than female ones and the same substance, smegma collects in the folds of both sorts.

Since its introduction into the west as an anti-masturbation measure in the 19th century, circumcision proponents have trotted out endlessly changing justifications for the procedure, as earlier ones are disproved. Most of these proposed reasons have later been proved to be based on flawed studies but the myths continue. Even if the claims for benefit were accepted the level of any protection from disease is so low as to be easily outweighed by the risks involved in the surgery. A few babies even die each year from circumcision complications and some lose their penis from necrotic infection. More common complications of infant circumcision, like skin bridges or too much skin removed, do not show up until much later in life. So the statistics do not include them in the complication rate. (A penis with a skin bridge is much harder to clean and causes major sexual difficulties.) However even on these artificially lowered statistics all the major medical authorities in the world now say that these risks outweigh the dubious benefits of routine infant circumcision.

Circumcision removes over half the skin of the penis (about 15 square inches or 40 square centimetres, in an adult) and it's not just simple skin. It's packed with nerve endings, special anatomical features like the ridged band and has a unique elastic gliding action, allowing it to slide on itself and act like lube. This action is what most males use to masturbate with except those who are cut so tightly that they have to use lube or just rub it dry. Of course the intact male has the option to use lube too if he wants to. During intercourse it acts like lube on entry and may act as a dam, preventing lubricating secretions escaping from the vagina. In one study women reported that sex with an intact partner was gentler and more satisfying since he doesn't have to thrust as hard to feel enough stimulation. Removing the foreskin turns the surface of the glans from an inner mucosal membrane to outside skin. Newly circumcised adults usually go through some weeks of intense discomfort as the glans is constantly exposed to rubbing on clothing, until it develops a thicker keratin layer and becomes less sensitive. A new study has shown real differences in fine touch sensitivity between circumcised and intact penises and that the most sensitive parts of the intact penis are those that would be removed by circumcision.

A few intact males have problems with tight foreskin but this is only a tiny proportion of intact males. The condition can now be almost always treated with simple stretching exercises, sometimes in combination with a steroid cream that speeds up the process. However doctors who do not value the preservation of the foreskin often still trot out circumcision as a first-option treatment in the US and even some other countries.

Answer 6

What you are talking about is known as circumcision,it is surgical removal of the foreskin of the penis. And everything else your so called friends say is not true. Whether you have a foreskin or not does not affect in any way your ability to have sex, or produce children.

Answer 7

Cutting that skin is called circumcision. That means if you have that skin (foreskin) you're uncircumcised. Nothing wrong. In fact...

Circumcision = loss of sensitivity study

So your friends don't have a clue what they're talking about.

Answer 8

No, it isn't true. You are talking about if you were not circumcised when you were born? Some guys do get circumcised later in life. It isn't anything that you must do only if the doctor says you are having a problem. Which you probably aren't having.

Answer 9

You have the same birthday as me!

at 14 you really should know more about your anatomy

You can still have a child if you're uncircumcised. You won't be any longer or shorter if you're uncircumcised either.

You're fine, just keep up on hygiene.

Answer 10

Don't cut your penis. You can make babies with or without a foreskin.
