Have you ever actually considered getting circumcised?

Honestly never. I had self esteem issues when my ex dumped me and I found out she was cheating one me. My self esteem issues didn’t start with circumcision status but other things size, looks, etc. Went down a rabbit hole that lead to finding circumcision status could be something women care about.

Since I’ve been with my wife I’ve gotten over my issues mostly but developed a fetish for uncut porn. That’s why I’m still here. Despite my self developed issues I never had a woman mention anything negative about being uncircumcised and through out my sexual life women seemed to enjoy what I have.

that’s completely unimagineable to give away a part of my body unless it’s completely broken. i consider it a mental illness to having such thoughts.

even if i had to choose, I would even rather loose an eye, arm or leg than my foreskin, cause at least then i could still sit around and jerk off properly. i would rather end myself than losing that.

I have always wondered what it would be like to be circumcised. My fiancé (at my request) role plays with me what it would be like to be circumcised by holding my skin back tight and having me exposed. We both get a thrill out of it and give me a sense of what it would be like.

I didn’t think about it until I lived in Florida. I guess since I have gotten older, hot weather and my genitals don’t get along as well as they used to..

for one thing, I have low hanging balls, but since I have hit middle age, they practically hang down to my knees in hot weather, and now I can accidentally sit on them if I am not careful…YIKES…

And the other issue is that my dick seems to get much sweatier underneath than it used to (my flaccid dick is smaller than it was before, because of lower testosterone? I have no idea)

So I am thinking about getting a scrotalplasty and maybe a partial circumcision at the same time.

justin423 if your foreskin is that long now then it probably needs a circumcised, just make the appointment.

how does a topic like this blow up so fast? lol
[Login to see the link] i don’t remember you and I feel like I would if you like circumcision fetish stuff. But with that out of the way, what is your condition? You may have seen some of my posts but a quick rundown is I don’t know if I have a form of phimosis or just a bad combination of tight foreskin and short frenulum but when flaccid my foreskin does not cover my entire had. a little less than half of my head is exposed when soft. When hard my foreskin constricts tightly around about half of my head. my frenulum is super short and very tight and won’t stretch. for the past 7 or so years i got my foreskin stretched enough so that i can have it pulled back when erect but it’s not useful. because of how tight it is and because of my frenulum, it only just barely goes back behind the crown. there’s no way i can insert anything without feeling pain. so my options are, aside from steroid creams, my options are frenulum removal, partial circumcision, or full circumcision. the problem is you could end up needing a full circumcision if you choose the frenulum removal or partial circ. and i don’t know about others but when it comes to doctor visits and procedures, the whole thing kinda tires me out and i don;t want to end up needing to go back for a circumcision anyway while trying to avoid one. so i’m undecided between nothing or circumcision. i can’t handle the aspect of needing to go back and do something else so i want one option so i can be done with it.
the other issue is that insurance doesn’t cover “cosmetic” circumcision although you may be able to get a referral to a better urologist that is known for performing good circumcisions and takes the patients request to heart. otherwise there’s a chance you won’t like your “medically necessary” circumcision. you have to remember that technically a circumcision is just removing the foreskin. all the little details about high and loose, low and loose, high, and tight, even line, frenulum intact, removed, etc, that’s the cosmetic department. some people end up having to go back to a cosmetic surgeon to fix the look of the medically necessary circumcision. and like i said i don’t want to go back.

message if you want to talk, but yea man, if you just want it done but have no issue it will be out of pocket unless you’re a good talker and get a good referral to a plastic surgeon.

Do you know what style you want? I don’t even know what I would want because I still can’t understand the different between inner and outer foreskin when it comes to the circumcision. I don’t see what they are talking about.

circhead

Inner foreskin is membrane, not skin. It has no sweat glands, no hair, no epidermis, and it secretes mucus – like the lining of your nostrils or cheeks, more or less. The restorers try to grow it so that when they succeed, they have membrane against membrane (glans). Skin against membrane gets foul quickly.

And yeah, this topic’s blowing up because guys who grew up intact in a circumcising culture are dying to talk about their penis in a safe space.

Yes, I did, almost booked an appointment for a circ with a Mogen Clamp in the Gentle Procedures Clinic NSW, I always get a huge buzz when passing by the clinic on my way home from my previous workplace, as much as I love my foreskin, a dark part of me wants it toast.

intact that makes sense, I’ve had so many topics similar to this and they don’t blow up so fast lol but very interesting.

About the inner foreskin, can you tell which is which? like someone will mention high and tight and say they have MORE inner foreskin left, yet someone who is low and loose or low and tight will have less? i’ve obviously seen what high and tight is, I’ve seen loose ones, tight ones. I don’t understand what is what. I would think i would want to have more left in the event i get the procedure.

got cut as an adult…best decision of my life

I got circumcised when I was 23 largely due to cultural pressures (live in the US in an area that is probably 85% circumcised). I was really embarrassed by it growing up. I certainly don’t regret the decision, but sometimes miss having a foreskin. It’s been 15 years now and I’m used to being cut.

Nope, not me. Partners haven’t really complained, and everything works as it should, so why fix a foreskin that isn’t broken?

Squirrel yea, first of all i agree. the whole high vs low thing is confusing, i thin it’s named oddly. okay, so here’s the big question, between the circumcision types where the line is just behind the head and the types where the line is almost half way up the shaft, considering each one can be “tight and loose” which is “more cut”? as in which one would be better for the patient to have and still feel? im guessing the big thing would be that each type would need to be loose. so regardless of if you get high or low, it needs to be loose. so the best one would be high and loose or low and loose? does low remove MORE foreskin than high?

Edit* i was looking for a good picture example, but check this out but came across this. ill copy and paste.

_**A high circumcision removes more of the outer foreskin than the inner foreskin. This means that the circumcision scar – where the remaining inner foreskin and shaft skin heal – is closer to the middle of the penis shaft.

In a low circumcision, the opposite is true. The inner foreskin is almost entirely removed and the circumcision scar forms closer to the head of the penis.

High and tight

High and tight is one of the most popular circumcision styles. It is a common style in infant circumcisions performed in the United States.

A high and tight circumcision retains much of the inner foreskin, which is folded outward onto shaft. The remaining outer foreskin as well as some of the shaft skin is removed to tauten the skin and permanently expose the head of the penis.

High and loose

Like a high and tight circumcision, high and loose retains most of the inner foreskin. A larger amount of outer foreskin and shaft skin is kept which can lead to some bunching of the skin and/or partial covering of the penis head.

Low and tight

In a low and tight circumcision, the majority of the inner foreskin is removed. The scar line is close to the head of the penis. Some of the outer foreskin is removed to maintain tension on the shaft skin which results in a tight style with the head of the penis permanently exposed.

Low and loose

A low and loose circumcision removes the majority of the inner foreskin in favour of retaining the majority of the shaft skin and outer foreskin. This results in a circumcision with a loose shaft skin that may lead to bunching or partial covering of the penis head.**_

so you mean with all the focus being on “tight” circumcisions, the low ones are actually the ones with less inner foreskin, which i would imagine is the most crucial skin, so the high’s are better than the low if you want to feel more? i mean outer foreskin has a purpose but if you had to choose because you needed a procedure, doesn’t it seem like the high is less severe than the low?

It’s one of those things that you might be embarrassed of as an American and think about it as a young guy, but eventually realize you’re lucky it didn’t happen to you. Like everyone that says they’d rather be circumcised that had it done as a baby is just saying that because they don’t know or they are happy being in the majority (If they are American). Unless you need it done, I don’t know why anyone would. It would be like having a convertible and ripping the roof off. Like yeah, the car still works, but you could have just put the top down.

cflubbs I agree with this. I succumbed to peer pressure at an impressionable age. I’m fine with being circumcised now, but I also am fairly confident that I would be more than fine if I didn’t get circumcised in my early 20’s. I don’t “miss” my foreskin, but I often times wish I had waited on the decision.

If I did it, I would hopefully get it done where the skin was taken from around the base. The Japanese style? And they took only about 2 cm. That should move expose the head and the area below the head to the air, and allow the sweat to evaporate.

Now I am using tape to hold it back so it can breathe on hot days.

I considered it when I was 13 or so. Even went so far as seeing my doctor to discuss it. Growing up with most guys around me being cut and seeing almost only cut guys in porn, I was super self-conscious and worried that girls would be grossed out. I am SOOO glad I lost steam on it though. My experience has been that girls don’t really care what your dick looks like once you’ve reached the level of intimacy for them to want to see your dick at all.

cflubbs

LOL that’s the metaphor I’ve used in conversations as an intactivist. So many people don’t grasp what the foreskin is and how it functions. “Would you buy a convertible then saw the roof off?”

srs5020 did women say anything before or after about it?
