Circumcision

I'm wondering how people feel about circumcision. Being american I was circumcised as a baby. About 2 years ago I started using a device called the TLC tugger. It has had good effects. I have about an extra 0.75" of skin it's enough so the the skin can glide a little when erect. Before that wasn't possible. I would like to develop enough skin to have overhang past the glands but that's a long was off.
Does anyone else wish that they weren't circumcised? I'm wanting to know if my feelings about the topic are normal.

 

Sometimes I wish I were not circumcised, but I think it is also a little more work to keep things clean there for uncircumcised guys. Also some women don't like it and so some guys have chosen to be circumcised as adults when they marry a woman with that preference. I would not want to have to deal with the pain of that as an adult.

I think a lot of times we wonder what it would be like to be different than what we are, different hair color, eye color, body type, etc. But there are also guys in the world who wish they looked more like you. Can you imagine how much happier we would all be if we decided to enjoy the skin we're in, especially knowing we all look exactly, equally disgusting under our skins LOL!

Peace to you.

 

I appreciate those words. There is something I want to explain I don't want to be anyone else. I just wish I had not been circumcised in the first place. If I ever have a son I won't have him circumcised. I feel like I'm supposed to be intact.

 

I agree just wanted to make sure other people felt the same way.
I didn't even today know what it was until I was a adult. I only saw one uncut guy while growing up and I didn't pay any attention of course.
I started researching it a few years ago. I would like the glands covered for sensitivity. That seems natural to me

 

I agree, child circumcision is pretty sick and disgusting (unless it is required as an urgent medical procedure). I think infant circumcision is a horrible and brutal practice. You may well be right that it can be traumatic at a subconscious level.

Fortunately, no one messed with my junk when I was a kid. I would have regarded it as a huge betrayal on the part of my parents to sanction cosmetic surgery on my dick because I might get an infection later on! In point of fact, I have never had an infection inside my foreskin. In my opinion, it's aesthetically pleasing, too. When the foreskin peels back it looks much the same as an circumcised cock, but I like the 'reveal' of the foreskin-clad glans penis!

 

Normal and natural - exactly right Filipe! When a baby is born it is 'perfect'. It is both unnecessary and cruel to subject it to pain and an unnecessary surgical procedure on it's sex organ, no less! The glans penis is supposed to be covered. Also, remember that not only does this preserve the sensitivity of the dick head, but the foreskin itself is extremely sensitive. There are 20,000 nerve endings in the foreskin. It also contains the type of nerve cells found nowhere else on the penis, exquisite to the touch.

 

Thanks for that information IGY. I think it's strange for our culture to want to mess with what is natural

 

I agree with much of what you guys have said here. When our son was born, one of our considerations was how he would feel when he got older if he looked different from other guys when most guys in the US are circumcised. We also understood that having a foreskin is associated with a bit higher rate of infection and some types of disease.

I watched when the procedure was done. The baby was given a nipple with a mild pain killer to suck on and a ring-shaped device was placed around the foreskin to clamp it and separate it from the glans so they wouldn't accidentally cut the penis. Then the foreskin was trimmed around the outside of that little metal ring. My son didn't cry and didn't seem to be in any pain from it. There was not very much blood. So I don't think it is a particularly deeply traumatic thing, and certainly babies don't remember things that happen to them that young.

So I'm just sharing that so you know the mindset of some parents who decide to do it, and what it's actually like for the infant.

 

I appreciate the information. I suppose social reasons should be considered. What I don't understand is why not just let the child decide when he is old enough?
If it is desired would more people in Europe and Latin America chose to get circumcised later I life

 

I agree about the Es . I suspect the same thing with me.
Uncut guys can get them easy too because of the increased sensitivity esp once it starts to escape the hood

 

Thank you for sharing your experience. I feel sad that 'peer pressure' and cosmetic considerations was one of the main reasons to have your sons genitalia altered. People that are pro circumcision imply that those with a foreskin are prone to constant infections with a real risk for health. It is just not true. I have never had one. Nobody I know well has had one. Furthermore, human beings get infections all the time such as respiratory infections. It is no big deal. This is all hype tbh.
