Circumcise (Cut) / Uncircumcised (Uncut) + Tight Foreskin & Phimosis + Foreskin Restoration Discussion (Compiled)

I got cut without my family knowing. It was a day procedure - I made an appointment, turned up, got cut, got bandaged up, got in a cab and went home. Family is none the wiser.

 

Time wise, like I mentioned, it only takes a couple of hours, max. And one can get it done on a weekend. Despite what many stories say about how one is put out of action after getting cut, I disagree. I was up and walking about on the day I got cut. I only walked slightly bow-legged and slower that's all but one can attribute that to an inner thigh abrasion I guess.

 

About money, there is nothing much I can suggest except saving up for it. My circumcision at a private clinic in Gleneagles cost $600. Assuming one saves $50 a month, all that takes is one year of saving!

I think the biggest obstacle of getting cut is the act itself. People are afraid of getting knives or lasers near their penises and that is completely understandable. I guess they just have to take a leap of faith and simply get the operation done. Whether one regrets being cut afterwards (like me), one just has to deal with the consequences I guess.

Personally, I think I would have been happy with an easily retractable foreskin. While being cut certainly has its pros - my penis looks nicer, smells better, and is cleaner, the loss of sensitivity is really a huge con. =/

A lot of good points there - I'm sorry you feel you have a loss of sensitivity.  I have always felt the sensitivity is just "different" rather than less.

Ah well. I just find myself being much more rough during masturbation and sex after I got circumcised. It seems like I can literally rub sandpaper across the glans and not really feel a thing.

Is having a desensitized glans that prolong enjoyment one of the many reason in going for circumcision?

Close to 70% of the respondents are not circumcised...which is the norm I have seen here in sg indeed!

When people asked why m I circumcised (not due to religion or health reasons), why then I  did it?
My parents got the doc to do it when I m a baby , I cannot reverse it .... I m ok with it....
Just that I cannot feel the exact feeling like those men who have not done it....

I m not sure why pp are surprised I m circumcised....

As I have been influenced to keep the head clean at all times since I do go for onsen sometimes, I have been keeping the head exposed by using the tucking method.

The glans do not really lose much in sensitivity as I have done this for a year already.

Perhaps slightly desensitised but it's quite positive because it is not as sensitive as some guys who don't retract the foreskin.

(Some guys really jolt their bodies when you touch their sensitive heads.)

What's the tucking method?

Ok I've googled and found out.

For those of you who are cut... Where is the scar line? Is it right below the head or in the middle?

Also how much does it affect sensitivity?

My scar line is about halfway down the shaft. For me, sensitivity was decreased because I was pretty sensitive before. If you're wondering if I'm sensitive because I had problems with retracting my foreskin, no. My foreskin was fine and fully functional.

Does the lack of sensitivity affect you during sex?

Guest Love my Foreskin

I considered going for circumcision before.

Went to the a urologist for consultation.

The doctor even went to the extend of draw on my penis the area where he will cut and help to tape my foreskin down.

I requested that he do not trim too much and leave enough foreskin so that the bottom half of my dick head will be covered.

I made the appointment for the procedure to be done 2 weeks later.

I had my foreskin taped down during that period of time so that I know how it feels like.

I decided the day before my procedure that I willnot go ahead with the circumcision.

Realised that I love my foreskin too much to cut it off.....

Luckily you did not proceed because having that kind of cut iis as good as not cutting. Having part of the head covered will still risk of having "cheese" formed underneath your skin.

Yes, unfortunately it does. Because I had sex both before and after circumcision, I can tell that the sensitivity before circumcision is much better, especially the gliding motion that the foreskin makes during penetration.

Yes, for a while just after I was circumcised, the sex was better because the scar and glans were both sensitive. But now, years after the operation, my glans has developed a layer of tougher skin and the scar has somewhat lost its sensitivity.

Hmmm... so now is the sensitivity about 50%. Or better? Or worse? Does it take longer to cum when masturbating?

 

As a btm I suppose I don't mind having less sensation when topping as I don't enjoy topping much. But I'm worried if I will end up with a situation where masturbation becomes difficult.

 

 

Was thinking about circumcision:

Pros:

- Have an issue with premature ejaculation, hoping that the reduced sensitivity will lead to longer build-up so more enjoyable orgasms

- I have pearly penile papules ( http://www.dermatopedia.com/pearly-penile-papules-ppp/ ) which hopefully become less obvious when the glans dries out

- Gets itchy all the time

- Looks better to me

- Would make it possible for future piercing!

Cons:

- Costs money, have to stay away from work 

- Too much sensitivity loss?

- Might end looking ugly since my skin is darker and scarline will be obvious

 

So far I've tried this frenulum tying thing - http://pulledback.org/index.php?topic=152.0 - so I no longer have a frenulum. Strangely I quite like the reduction of sensitivity. I try to keep my foreskin retracted these days to 'air' it and it also helps with the itch.

 

If you were me would you circumcise?

An article which sets out a case against circumcision.

 

This is mostly a load of utter rubbish! Some of it might relate to a bad circumcision but in the stupid conclusions it comes to it makes little mention of the common factor of the natural lubricating precum in both the cut n uncut penis as well as in the vagina.

 

I assumed The Quranic Path refers to the teachings of the Prophet. Muslims r circumcised. How then does it trash the practice?

 

Look at another page - Circumcision: does the Qur'an approve it? - n it says this -

 

The proponents of circumcision say there are reasons such as hygiene and other benefits behind them doing this. This is actually an insult against Allah.

I have met uncut Muslims, quite rare admittedly. Its a tradition which is all about cleanliness, connected with the way they wash themselves before praying in the mosque.

I have not met any uncut muslim guys. All whom i met are skinless.

Guest Concerned

Hi guys, I have a tight foreskin, frenulum breve, and an extra bit of flesh growing at the head of my penis. While I want to see a doctor to discuss possible options about fixing these issues. Can anyone recommend a good doctor? Or would going to the nearby polyclinic be enough? Also, if anyone has the relevant experience, is loosening the foreskin an outpatient procedure, or will a hospital stay be required?

For the record, I've tried foreskin stretching. Not too successful.

Thanks for any and all help!

Best to go to Polyclinic and get doc there to write a recommendation letter if you need to be referred to specialist..it will be much much cheaper for whatever treatment that you may need.
