should i circumcise?

Question

my wife has been asking myself to get circumcised. she says that increases pleasure and is more advantages than an ordinary one . i was not beleiving it but she says that her family friend uncle had done it and was feeling the same. should i get myself circumcised?

Answer 1

Something for your wife to think about. Should you do this for her and not like it or if it ruins your enjoyment of sex (it often does) you will resent her for the rest of your life.

You will have to endure the effects of this mutilation even if you and your wife part ways. Today people change partners but you are stuck with your one and only penis.

A study published in the British Journal of Urology (April 2007) proved that "circumcision" removes the five most sensitive areas of the penis and that no area on a "circumcised" penis compares to that which was cut off. The glans (tip of the penis) is actually the least sensitive area of the penis and that is what is left after "circumcision" for a boy to feel pleasure with.

Male genital mutilation (circumcision to some of you) does result in anorgasmia (the inability to orgasm from intercourse) in some males; others suffer from delayed orgasm (inability to achieve orgasm before fatigue, most often her fatigue, I might add)

"Circumcision" is mutilation

Answer 2

It is a big thing to do for your wife, rather too much to ask of you really. It is your penis and your decision. If you like sex as it is why do it? Personally I am a woman and I much prefer uncircumcised penises. I have found they tend to be more sensitive than circumcised ones and give the man more pleasure. I also wouldn't want to go through the recovery from an adult circumcision if I was a man, I would imagine it would be very painful.

Answer 3

How did she know so much detail about that uncle?
It will definitely feel better initially (after the soreness is gone, of course), but then, you both will get used to it. No harm in going for it, but it really is not necessary. You can increase your pleasure by other means too.

Answer 4

Have her read the article at http://www.healthcentral.com/drdean/408/60750.html --90% of women surveyed said sex was better with an intact man! From my own experience with both cut and uncut partners, I can affirm that uncut really is a lot better for the woman (and for the man as well).

Because somebody's uncle had it done is no reason for you to have it done. You will both have less sexual pleasure for the rest of your lives if you do -- and the bad effects apparently just get worse as the man gets older. Keep what you have, even if it means getting a different wife -- there are plenty of women who would not try to change you.

Answer 5

SHE wouldn't know. She won't feel any difference between a cut or an uncut d*ck. If you're prepared to suffer the discomfort of being circumcised, go ahead. Personally, I wouldn't do it. My circumcised friends are quite content, but they have to use oil or lotion when they JO and their glanses seems a lot less sensitive than mine.

I'm positive the foreskin is there for a reason. The original purpose of male or female circumcision is to subdue the sexual lust. I want to keep mine :D

Answer 6

No you shouldn't. why would you want to remove the best part of your penis, the part that has the most nerve endings. Yes it is your penis and up to you what you do with it but ask here if she will get Breast implants and cosmetic surgery done to her labia to get it to "look" the way you want it too. I'm sure I know what she will tell you to do with yourself (and so she should).
Check out the links to find out the facts and not just some people one sided oppinion.
In the end it is your body so YOU should be the one to choose what you do with it.
I knwo what I would say to my wife if she asked me to get my foreskin chopped of, I know she wouldn't though.

Answer 7

Don't do it just because your wife wants you to. Make sure it's because you want. I have heard more stories of people being dissatisfied after adult circumcision than people being satisfied. Most of those who are happier afterwards are those who had problems with their foreskin to begin with, so it makes sense they'd be happy. If you're having good sex already then I really recommend against it.

Answer 8

If that family friend had a problem with his foreskin before undergoing circumcision, it's common sense that he'd like being circumcised. But if you don't have any problems with your foreskin, then your chances of seeing an improvement are pretty low, if any.

In fact, uncircumcised guys are more sensitive, which isn't a bad thing. Just keep it clean (takes 5 to 10 seconds to pull back the skin and rub when you shower) and you should be fine. Maybe she's read unfounded websites like Circlist that are completely biased. You both need to read the other side of the story, too. Here, hopefull these studies, statistics, and links will help you.

They really both have pros and cons. If you're cut or uncut and satisfied, you'll say that side is better. If you got cut later in life, you'll say cut because you had problems with your foreskin before. If you're cut and had something go wrong, then you'll say uncut. However, a survey at the Jackinworld masturbation site found that uncircumcised guys are a little more satisfied (by a few percentage points, not much). However, the big difference that comes in was in another survey, half of circumcised guys responded that they would have liked a say over being circumcised or not, so that may explain dropping newborn circumcision.

Here's some more information, and I'll mention the surveys and link them below.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.

Circumcision would also leave you about a month of no sex/masturbation, and pain for the first few weeks. Ask her what the problem is; communication is key in relationships. If she says anything about being clean, make sure you take those few seconds to clean it when you shower. E-mail me from my profile if you have any questions.

Answer 9

Yes, I agree with your wife. I was circumcised as an adult and sex is a lot much more pleasurable. When I was uncircumcised sex consisted of me sliding in and out of my forskin rather than in and out of my partner's vagina. Now that I'm circumcised I can enjoy the direct stimulation of my partner's vagina rubbing on the head of my penis.
Not to mention the other benefits of being circumcised such as; hygiene, health, and just overall appearance.

I personally think it's one of the best decisions I've ever made in my life. I would do it again in a heartbeat if i had to.

Answer 10

Obey the experienced.
