It depends what kind of bumps. If they were on the rim of the head, they're pearly penile papules and they're normal. They're harmless and can't be spread; they can happen to both circumcised and uncircumcised guys. You can Google that and see if they look alike (but be aware that cases in the Internet are usually more severe):

Don't let others make you feel that your boyfriend is inferior because he's not circumcised. I don't think many understand that an uncircumcised guy can just be as clean as any guy if you take 10 seconds to pull the foreskin and rub the head when you shower. Consider the following. Circumcision is not necessary. In fact, it has become less common over time.

Circumcision has become less common. Circumcision rates were as high as 90% back in the 1960s and 1970s (that's partly why today's adults are so... brainwashed, I supposed you could say, about thinking that circumcision is better) but they have fallen to as low as 14% in some states. Here are the statistics:
http://www.cirp.org/library/statistics/USA/staterates2004/

The USA is the last developed nation doing it to a large number of newborns without religious or medical needs. (Europeans, Latin Americans, Japanese, and most Australians, Canadians, and Asians don't circumcise):

Circumcision does not completely stop penile cancer. The American Cancer Society has already confirmed the myth that circumcision = no cancer.
http://www.cancer.org/docroot/CRI/content/CRI_2_4_2X_Can_penile_cancer_be_prevented_35.asp

If circumcision did stop penile cancer, then penile cancer would not be more common in the USA (most circumcised adults) than in some European nations, where circumcision is not practiced other than for medical/religious reasons.

In a medical study, it was found that females are more likely to hit orgasm with an uncircumcised man:

The lubricated foreskin (on the inside... like your eyelids) slides up and down during sex and masturbation to stimulate the head (which is why you don't hear of uncircumcised guys needing lube to masturbate).

Studies have found that circumcision reduces sensitivity (this article also mentions how it has lost popularity in the USA in recent times):

And despite being more sensitive, uncircumcised guys still last in the same six minute range (average) that circumcised guys do:

Circumcision makes masturbation more difficult:
http://www.blackwell-synergy.com/doi/abs/10.1111/j.1464-410X.2006.06646.x

Which makes sense, that's how circumcision was promoted in the USA:

Increases erectile dysfunction rates:

If too much skin is removed in circumcision, it can make the penis smaller since the penis needs some skin to expand during an erection:

Answer 5

The odds are that he's fine, the little bumps beneath the glans are quite common in both circumsized and intact guys.
My recommendation, ask him politely about his hygiene, and if its poor, encourage him to wash under his foreskin during his daily shower. Meanwhile, enjoy having a partner with a fully-intact penis :-)

Answer 6

If you are worried about it either don't have sex with him, or better yet use a condom. Is it the not circumcised thing that is the issue, or the not knowing if you should(n't) say anything. Go and ask a Doctor they can give you better information, but I would think that a bumpy foreskin may not be a good thing, but hey what would I know I am a girl, lol. Wait you will hopefully get better answers from a few men who aren't circumcised.

Answer 7

They are just pearly penile papules if they are round the rim of the glans or Fordyce's spots if they are on the inner foreskin. PPPs are normal little bumps, connected to nerve endings, that increase sensation and are harmless. They are often more noticeable in intact males but I am circumcised and have them too. Fordyce's spots are harmless fatty deposits that form under thin membranes like the lips and inner foreskin. Neither of these things are contagious or anything to be concerned about.

Answer 8

OK well first up there's no problem with him not being circumcised. yes he needs to wash every day but so do we all. About the little bumps it could be something like pearly penile papules that are normal. Or maybe Fordyce spots. I don't think you get bumps because of bad hygiene. However they could be an STD so use a condom and get him tested like you should with any new partner.

Answer 9

That's actually normal for most guys. It's called pearly penile papules, and many men have them. They are odd looking, but not harmful in any way. Being uncut does not make him any more unclean than a circumcised guy, unless he is a lazy slob who hasn't cleaned under his foreskin, in which a white substance called smegma collects, which is just dead skin cells. While not harmful, smegma does have a foul odor, so tell him to keep it clean. Don't be afraid of him, just because he has a little extra skin.

Answer 10

You're NOT circucised and you're not worried about THAT for his sake. And, yes, GIRLS can be circumsised. They're urethra is a small version of a penis and it has a foreskin. Some cultures require females to be circumsised at maturity. The big hub=bub in our society is with men because women weren't viewed upon as people in Moses' day.

Answer 11

Crikey, one girl gets a ‘look’ at this guys penis, splashes the news all over the web, and then over half the answers have him pasted as an unhygienic dude or someone who needs to see a doctor for STDs. Others even talk of marriage. Struth, just ask the guy or leave it alone!
