Getting Circumsized?

Question

Can i get circumsized at the age of 19? is it a bad thing to not be circumsized?

Answer 1

Of course you can. Being uncircumcised gives you the advantage of being able to choose. As with anything, everything has advantages, even being uncircumcised. Guys who get circumcised later in life are typically satisfied because they chose to get circumcised due to previous problems, but if there's no problems, most guys don't get circumcised. Satisfaction rates are about the same for both groups. I'll talk about that more below. Here's some background info on circumcision. Circumcision is a traditionally Jewish and Muslim procedure, although it was introduced and encouraged to the Western, developed world as a way to stop masturbation, especially with the help of Dr. Kellogg. (see link 1) However, although scientific studies have discovered that circumcision harms masturbation by up to over 60% (2), needless to say, it doesn’t completely stop masturbation. Many circumcised guys find it more convenient to use a commercial lubricant as a result (3) since the typically moist foreskin that is like the eyelids is not present to rub the glans with (4).

Most developed nations quickly rejected circumcision after noticing its ineffectiveness against masturbation, and as a result the United States remains the last developed nation doing it to a significant percentage of newborns. (5) This was done as a result of the for-profit American health care system promoting myths about benefits of circumcision (6), such preventing penile cancer (6a, 6b), preventing HIV (6c, 6d) despite the USA being the developed nation with the highest HIV rates and circumcision rates (6e, 5), and preventing STDs (6d, 6f). As a result, circumcision is now brings in hundreds of millions of dollars to doctors and the American health system. (7)

However, circumcision has been becoming less popular as years have passed by. In the 1960s over 90% of guys were circumcised in the USA, now circumcision rates are as low as 14% in some states. (8) More and more parents are discovering that circumcision carries more risks than benefits, and realize that by leaving their sons uncircumcised, they have the choice of choosing what they’d like, since the surgery is irreversible.

Circumcision risks include the loss of sexual pleasure according to multiple studies (2, 9, 10, 11). Those studies take into effect many sensation points, including the foreskin, and they involve many participants. There have been other studies that claim no difference, but they don’t even take into effect the nerve endings on the foreskin, which as seen in one study, are some of the most sensitive points on the penis (10). One study even found an increase in erectile dysfunction rates after circumcision (10a). In another study, it was found that females ended up reaching orgasm with and preferring uncircumcised males in 9 out of 10 cases (10b). In addition, circumcision is extremely painful on newborns (12, 13, 14), and you risk many bad conditions, such as a buried penis when too much foreskin is removed and limits the size of the penis (15), or adhesions or skin bridges that develop from the head to the shaft when the skin heals after the surgery (16), meatal stenosis [occurs in up to 10% of circumcised males!] when the opening of the penis becomes irritated from too much exposure and rubbing and begins to close up (17), and meatal ulcers (18). All those risks are, of course, not including the possibility of having too much skin removed, which can cause discomfort during erections due to lack of skin to allow the penis to expand, and could consequently cause a hairy penis by pulling pubic hair and skin to the shaft. Often a circumcision scar develops around the penis after circumcision. In addition, circumcision has negative effects on breastfeeding. (18)

To conclude, here is a link that describes the anatomy of the foreskin (19) and the development of the foreskin with infants, a link especially helpful for parents (19a). Ultimately, one survey found that although uncircumcised guys are a bit more satisfied percentage-wise, it’s within the margin of error. (20) The only difference is that those unsatisfied uncircumcised guys can simply get circumcised and end up satisfied either way. In addition, in one survey it was found that up to half of circumcised guys expressed concerns on wishing to have had the choice themselves. (21) That, along with the risks and negative effects that are being seen more with the help of the Internet, may be what is bringing down circumcision rates.

Answer 2

You can get it done at 19, but it will be costly and painful (especially afterwards when it's healing).

But it is NOT a bad thing to be uncircumcised. In fact I would say it is a GOOD thing. Around 70-85% of males in the world are uncircumcised - circumcision is rare! It is only common in the Jewish faiths, Muslim faiths, and the USA (and even then it's not very common in some places like California and other states).

Personally as a female I prefer a dick that hasn't been circumcised. Some women prefer circumcised, but it's usually those who are used to it and have strange ideas about getting germs from a foreskin (not true). Either way, it's not going to be the most important thing in a relationship for anybody with any sense at all.

There is no medical reason for circumcision. No evidence that you will get more infections or complications and such. You might even get less. Just wash under your foreskin every day.

Answer 3

Yes, as a matter of fact I got circumcised when I was 19. To be honest with you it's one of the best decisions i've ever made. I have no regrets at all, I only wish my parents would have had me circumcised as an infant. Like any other surgery there will be some pain, but for me the most painful days were the first two. After three weeks of having my circumcision I was completely healed and back to my sex life. Sex afterwards was a lot much more pleasurable because I didn't have to worry about sliding in and out of my forskin during sex, not to mention now orgams are a lot much more explosive. I would do it again if I had to. But good luck man to you what ever you choose.

Answer 4

aside from removing the overhanging length of your foreskin, circumcision would not influence the size or girth of your penis in any way. although, subjectively your glans (head) will seem to be fairly greater after circumcision. it is because you would be comparing the diameter of the rim of the glans with the real diameter of the penile shaft somewhat than the diameter of the shaft plus bunched up foreskin. In a small style of situations there's a real improve in the diameter f the very rim of the glans as its flare is able to enhance to its finished skill somewhat of being constrained interior a good foreskin. it somewhat is impossible to cite any particular proportion improve in the certainly or obvious improve in diameter, even though it somewhat is barely going to be of the order of a few %, somewhat no extra effective than 3%. an adolescent or grownup circumcision takes approximately 2 weeks till now the sutures (stitches) start to come again out, 3 weeks to alter into good scabbed over and four weeks till now the scabs fall off. for the duration of the 1st week you are able to wish to be waiting to take issues thoroughly actually by using unlikely to college or artwork. After which you should ward off touch activities, swimming, cycling and something which will injury the penis or make you sweat unduly till the full cut back line if completely scabbed over. intercourse ought to internet be resumed till all the scabs have clearly fallen off.

Answer 5

You are blessed with a protective, highly-innervated, erogenous foreskin. Many unforeskinned guys would envy your foreskin. You display great wisdom in wanting to avoid circumcision,

You should thank your parents for protecting your physical integrity. Because of your physical integrity you will be able to have sex the way nature intended it.

Adult circumcision is outmoded as a treatment for phimosis.

Circumcision is an ELECTIVE operation. You don’t have to have a circumcision. You have lived your life thus far without a circumcision and you can continue to do so. You are choosing to have a circumcision.

The foreskin has protective, immunological, sensory, and sexual functions. The areas of the penis with the greatest tactile sensation are all on the foreskin.

Adult circumcision is an extremely destructive, permanently injurious, radical operation that severs blood vessels, nerves, and other tissue. The permanent and irreversible amputation excises the most sexually sensitive part of the penis. Sensation is permanently reduced.

Most conditions for which circumcision has been historically performed may now be conservatively treated without surgery.

Complications include hemorrhage, infection, and surgical accident.
There are many possible adverse outcomes, including total loss of the penis and even death.

The operation severs nerves and blood vessels, so sensation and blood circulation are permanently impaired. The ability to have an erection may be impaired. The ability to ejaculate may be impaired.

The recovery period is usually painful and takes about six weeks.

The cost is about US$2,500 to US$3,000. Your insurance may or may not pay for it, because it is non-therapeutic. They may consider it to be elective cosmetic surgery.

The sensitive head of your penis will be permanently exposed to friction on clothing and there will be nothing to cover and protect it.

You will have to alter your method of masturbation. Most circumcised guys need to use artificial lubrication.
Many men later regret their decision to be circumcised because of the loss of so much sexual sensation.

Answer 6

Unless you are having a specific health issue, there is really no reason to just get circumcised. In fact, you will most likely be losing some sensitivity as a result. Check this out for an idea of what you're actually losing by being circumcised:
