beef4beef Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 (edited) The circumcised penis is preferred.There is a relationship between a circumcised penis and AIDS.

night listener Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 yes, many years ago while still in NS.after a certain period of time, your foreskin should automatically rolled back and look like a cut dick.i used to want to get a circumcision becos i prefer a cut dick.nowadays, sometimes i have to pull my foreskin to cover my dick head.it just feels more comfortable with the foreskin covering the head.

TopChinese Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 I see it as vanity, like plastic surgery to improve once appearance or improve once beauty so that can attract sex partner. Same reasoning goes for women who go for plastic surgery.Excuse me, I didn't get circumcised because I act vain. You think i want to be born with such a big cockhead? My foreskin was really tight and it was too painful to pull it back or pee. I was so relieved after the procedure - back then where got painless laser one. Am glad I have it done. Feels so clean. I've met some uncut people here who are absolutely disgusting. Never been taught to pee/clean properly. All that stale fishy precum juice. Cockcheese is NOT cool.

Same reasoning goes for women who go for plastic surgery.If the dick is functioning properly, and it does what it is suppose to do biologicaly, is there a need to cut away healthy tissue that is not causing trouble like tight foreskin causing strangulationb of the cock head if too tight , alternative is do self stretching of tight foreskin , but this involve skill and patience over maybe one month to two months, and it may lead to self masturbation if not done properly , so the fast and blunt solution is to lopped it off, and it heals in about two weeks.

You can go home by 5pm on the same day. Its painless, but uncomfortable for a few days after surgery espescially when u have erections. Go for any of the public hospitals, its cheaper and you can pay by using your medisave.The limit is capped at $450. Total cost is about $750 now. To get cheaper cost, u try get a refferal from any polyclinic, then you will get a subsidy from the hospital.Opt for B2 or C class just incase u need to be admitted for any reasons. Hope this info is enough for you. Pm me if u need help on this.Danvin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Mendoza Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 There is a cheaper alternative to get it done through darul arqam Muslim converts Association of Singapore.I think they will give u a fully paid for voucher to be used at a Malay Muslim Doctor's clinic around eunos to reimburse for the surgery by free hand using scalpel and clippers and a male nurse in attendance.You don't have to pay a cent , but conditions attached of course, you know what it is , right but the Malay doctor is supposed to be very good in his artistry because he has lots of practise on young boys going in for routine circumcision and the occasional adult.Probably have to attend some classes.Do check out this option.

unitight Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 (edited) Few of my gay friends despite their good physical attributes have always facing the problems of rejection from their potential fxxk buddies because of their uncut dick, more so for those who has phimosis - a scientific name for unretractable foreskin. So much so that they even consider to be circumcised ..Perhaps is it because the stigma of uncut dick that has been around for years ..? That it is unhygienic and unkempt?Please kindly share your views.

ixmog Posted November 1, 2009 Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 Still remember that we had our cock checked by those old nurse when they came to our school when we're still in primary 6 ? I was diagnosed of phimosis. It's kinda of awkward ! The old nurse will tried to retract every boy's foreskin. Later, I was given an appointment to see a doctor at the polyclinic. The worst was that my mum went with me. I had to have my penis exposed for the doctor to check while my mum was there watching. So embaressing ! The doctor offered me 2 choices. Either go for a circumcision or tried to do a foreskin retraction exercise everyday. Anyway, mum wouldn't want me to go under the knife at this age as mum know I'm scared of pain. So I went home practising the retraction method. Honestly, my first try of pulling my foreskin backward was a real painful attempt. I only managed to expose a quarter of my glans penis. Until one of the day, I managed to fully retract my foreskin. I can't remembered how long it took. But mind you, the first time my glans penis is fully exposed was a painful experience. Ouch ! Success comes with pain. Back then, I started to masturbate during primary 6. From an unretractable foreskin to a fully exposed cock head. My initial masturbation experience with a retracted foreskin was a great pain too. As you know with an erected cock and a tight retracted foreskin stuck behind your cock head. The tightness of the foreskin was even greater. Anyway, this went on for years. And when I was studying in the polytechnic, I already had a fully retractable foreskin. No more tight and painful erection. I will suggest guys in the 20s, 30s, 40s or even 50s to have their cock circumcised if you are suffering from phimosis. For personal hygiene, you need to wash your cock head everyday. Else, your cock head will be full of cheese(smegma) trapped beneath the foreskin if you are unable to retract and wash. It will be smelly. I agreed that uncircumcised cock look natural and more sensitive during sex. For those guys with circumcised cock, too bad, sex won't be that fun anymore. Some guys can fxxked an hour and can't reach orgasm because their cock no more sensitive. Pros and cons for having a cut or uncut dick.

ixmog Posted January 1, 2010 Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 (edited) I will not be upset if I find my partner is a cut dick. Hmm ... from what I had seen so far, I find most Asian cut dick are smaller especially malay guys that had their dick circumcise during puberty. I dunno why but maybe circumsion at young age constrain the growing process of the dick. Most big dick can be found with uncut Asian men. But for ang moh is another different story. Most ang moh have large cut dick. I actually like uncut dick more than cut dick. At least, I have the priviledge to pull his foreskin backward to expose his cock head. A very stimulating process. It's like you never know what kind of cock head you get to see. Exciting ! But off course, I like men with thick cock and a big cock head. Forget about length. I love the girth not the length. I do encounter men with unretractable foreskin. I find them a turn off. Mostly, I will end up with a handjob if i can't shake them off in the situation I'm in. They should have gone for a circumcision as they are unable to wash their cock head. How unhygenic ! Edited January 1, 2010 by ixmog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest iz_ariays Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 I had an experience quite recently with a guy with phimosis (correct me if I'm wrong). He's cute, and had the right body type which I prefered. We knew each other from NS and just recently I decided to get back in touch. I soon found out he was gay-curious and I admitted I had a crush on him then.Since he was only curious and not really gay, he came over my place and we had a mutual JO thing, he didn't really wanna give me a BJ. Everything went well until I saw his cock with phimosis. Trust me, it was an xxxx turn off. Probably because I've never seen such a case before. I got uncomfortable after that but still managed to finish off the business.I didn't really had another session with him anymore because of that. I advised him to go for circumcision but he obviously refused. Trust me, it was salty and quite disgusting. I'm sorry to have offended anyone here with the condition. But pls do something about it rather than not anything at all.Therefore, I believe that circumcision is a good way to maintain good hygiene with regards to your little brothers, especially if it's shy to come out from its hiding skin.

Please do not turn it into a debate, just answer the questions below. Thanks.To all chinese guys,1) are you circumcised? If your answer is yes, please answer question 2 and 3. If your answer is no, it stops here.2) when were you circumcised? Birth? Child? Adult? Please state the rough age you were circumcised.3) do you use lube to masturbate because your circumcision was tight and there wasn't enough shaft skin left to masturbate without lube?Thanks everyone.
