    Hi, 6 months ago i did low tight cut with frenulum removal, after healing i got urges, tried to get off but it was not so straight forward, so decided i don't need to get off anymore.

    I'm also considering getting one. How long did it take to heal and how was the pain afterwards?

    Pain was really manageable, healed in 4 weeks after 2 months its barely noticeable.
    Just dont forget to do it as low and as tight as possible and no frenulum. I was afraid of it for many years regret every day i spend uncircumcised.

    Good to know. I have to get one because being from a religious family, I was never taught how to clean it or to keep it loose, the problem is then that the foreskin can actually close off the opening with time. It'll be a big change!

    When you say low, you mean closer to the body and not away from the body right? I googled and there were types 1-5. I think you are talking about type 5 cut?

    If so, my question is, when the head isalways exposed, isn't it uncomfortable or don't you get urgesall the times bcz its rubbing against everything?

    Low means scar near the head, tight means only necessary skin is kept, no extra. Google the pictures or forums.

    regarding head neither uncomfortable neither provokes urges

    Reading this makes me think that the function of the tradition is to prevent masturbation. Would you agree?

    i think several reasons:

    1. hygiene
    2. Masturbation
    3. Better sexual perfomance

  9. To any of the many vulnerable and desperate people on this site who may find this post and consider this approach, just know that this mans experience is subjective. There are many well documented side effects and mishaps that can occur from circumcisions. Do your own research and come to your own decision before you commit to any body altering surgeries that have life long consequences.

    Circumcision does not prevent masturbation. Even when circumcised, one can still masturbate excessively. So this idea may not work. BUT I don’t see any real disadvantages either. It feels good, and the penis stays clean. So these are the life long consequences.

    I haven't heard someone say that circumcision feels good before. What do you mean?

    It feels free when the glans is not covered.

  13. I'm not here to judge if people get one because their God tells them to and obviously getting it for medical reasons is completely understandable. But getting it just because you're uncomfortable with the natural pleasure it provides sounds like body dysmorphia to me.

    And don't really get what you mean by the penis stays clean? It take like bare minimum effort to wash under the foreskin anyway you just roll it back.

  14. Also less sensitivity in the penis tip is absolutely a life long consequence.

    I was already circumcised and for me it's helpful when trying to abstain from masturbating. For example, there's the extra step of having to apply lube.
    Not sure if getting circumcised just for NoFap makes sense but it's a benefit.

    Yes, i don't have lube at home. Also if you have quite busy schedule, my routine was a short fap in a shower, not it doesn't seem to be feasible.

    If you use your hand, there's the extra step of having to apply lube. There are many things that can be used as lube; so this is only a tiny hurdle. When you're used to prone masturbation, circumcision does not help at all.

    Doubt there is any correlation between circumcision and masturbation. You are most likely experiencing placebo, but to each his own.

    I think the idea that circumcision could prevent masturbation gives circumcision a bad reputation. As if it was some archaic measure to force kids not to masturbate. This is of course nonsense, because it does not work that way.
