If a man is not circumcised at birth, is it took late to get one? or does he have it forever?

Answer 1

An uncircumcised guy has the advantage of choosing what he wants. He can get cut if he'd like. However, without medical need, the risks and negative effects can outweigh the benefits.

Circumcision = loss of sensitivity according to new study

Circumcision was actually promoted in the USA at first to stop masturbation (in hopes of it being tight enough to require lubes and not have skin to slide since the foreskin is already moist)

Answer 2

Circumcision is incredibly not greater secure.... 2 hundred young babies die a 300 and sixty 5 days in u . s . on my own from this ill prepare. The hygiene subject has been irrelevant for the previous 50 years. we've showers in N.A (i'm Canadian). Intact adult males not often have subject concerns, it incredibly is how your created, you at the instant are not created with defective components you be conscious of. additionally women have a prepuce additionally (it incredibly is what the foreskin is actual called), on a female that could be a clitoral hood. We dont have our little ladies shrink up, even although its an identical element. Leaving your son intact will maximum probable by no skill carry approximately an infection, you're plenty greater probable to have a hassle from a circumcision than that.

Answer 3

If a guy's not circumcised at birth he'll still have his foreskin, but a guy can get circumcised at any age. I don't believe that it's more painful when done later, only that one can remember the pain. But if a circumcision is done later in life at least the guy can take painkillers for the pain; painkillers are rarely given to infants so it feels much worse to them (besides, it's kind of cruel that pain is one of their first sensations in life).

Answer 4

A man can be circumcised at any age.

Answer 5

No, a male can be circumcised at any age, but do your research and think about the decision carefully! In this particular decision, your parents did not make the decision for you....it will be yours...and it is not reversible!

Answer 6

One can have their genitals cut at any age.

There are many disadvantages of course.

No medical institution in the world actually recommends the practice.
Let's have a look at medical associations in the developed world. The British Medical Association, Royal Australasian College of Physicians, Canadian Paediatric Society, American Medical Association, American Academy of Pediatrics, Australian College of Paediatrics and Australasian Association of Paediatric Surgeons. Every one of them recommends AGAINST performing the procedure. Their positions on the procedure can be found here: http://www.circumcision.org/position.htm


Here is a video of the operation. Watch it if you want to learn more. Please do watch it.

It is not just a little snip here and there. Watch the above video of a circumcision in progress.


The foreskin keeps the glans soft and moist and protects it from trauma and injury. Without this protection, the glans becomes dry, calloused, and desensitized from exposure and chafing.
Specialized nerve endings in the foreskin enhance sexual pleasure.
The foreskin may have functions not yet recognized or understood.
[ http://www.nocirc.org/publish/pamphlet7.html ]

"The glans of the circumcised penis is less sensitive to fine touch than the glans of the uncircumcised penis. The transitional region from the external to the internal prepuce is the most sensitive region of the uncircumcised penis and more sensitive than the most sensitive region of the circumcised penis. Circumcision ablates the most sensitive parts of the penis." Circumcision cuts off the five most sensitive points from the penis [Touch test sensitivity experiment, British Journal of Urology 2007, copy of report: http://www.nocirc.org/touch-test/bju_6685.pdf ].

The foreskin reduces the force required by the penis to enter the vagina while circumcision contributes to vaginal dryness. [ http://www.circumcision.org/studies.htm , http://www.cirp.org/library/sex_function/ ]
The foreskin also increases the sexual enjoyment of the female partner. [ http://www.cirp.org/library/anatomy/ohara/ ]

Performing circumcision on a child can and does result in the deaths of children due to blood loss and/or failure of the immune system.
http://video.yahoo.com/video/play?vid=512542
Approximately 230 American males die every year because of circumcision. [ http://www.sexuallymutilatedchild.org/deathsdo.htm , http://www.cirp.org/library/death/ ] This is a meaningless and very sad loss of life.

It can and does result in very significant scaring.
It can and does result in sexual problems later in life.

Circumcised males have a much higher rate of sexual dysfunction and premature ejaculation. [ http://www.cirp.org/library/sex_function/ ]

According to the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) "there is little evidence to affirm the association between circumcision status and optimal penile hygiene." [ http://www.circumcision.org/aap.htm ]

Hygiene and prevention of disease are among the commonest reasons cited for performing male circumcision. This directory contains references that examine the validity of these claims in detail: http://www.cirp.org/library/disease/

Circumcision does not make you less prone to STD's, cancer, giving females cancer or anything else. Read the literature library I have referenced. It includes information from National Health Administrations like the American Cancer Society and the American Academy of Pediatrics.

Answer 7

He could get circumcised, but it is painful and even more problematic as an adult. Why would anyone want to willingly remove a part of his penis? There are very few legitimate reasons to do so. The foreskin contains the most sensitive parts of the penis, and its removal will dramatically reduce sensation.

Answer 8

He can have it done time he wants, except when you're a baby you don't remember it later.. Of course they aren't going to just take you into the doctors, trim it off, and send you home.. It's surgical.

Answer 9

Yea, you can get circumcised at any age, but I think it's more painful as you get older.

Answer 10

You can get it done at any age, but what is the point in getting it done at all? Most men are uncircumcised and it's natural and probably better.
