So I had an adult circumcision in September 2021, aged 21. My foreskin was too tight and needed taking off. I am now seriously regretting having it done. Although the skin used to be tight it was very sensitive which allowed me to feel loads when I was fucking or jerking off.

There are 2 major problems I have had since my circumcision.

Firstly I think the surgeon was over enthusiastic with his cutting as I have ended up with a VERY low and tight circumcision. Before I had it done I never knew there were different styles of circumcision or what they meant. On the day of my operation the surgeon said he could put the scar line near my glans or a way up my shaft. I opted for near the glans as I thought it would be less noticeable there. I thought I was being offered a purely aesthetic choice. What I have ended up with is no inner skin left at all. The skin on my shaft is no where near as sensitive as the foreskin used to be. Now when I am fucking, there is so much sensation I am missing which is SO frustrating.

The second problem is the texture of my glans. It felt sensitive during the healing process. But then the skin started to peel off, like the aftermath of a burn. After that it went dry, rubbery and way less sensitive. I have been using moisturiser every day which has helped soften it a bit, but is doing nothing to bring back the sensitivity.

The combination of these 2 issues have dramatically affected sex. When I am fucking I feel so much less than I used to. I get the feeling of spasms in my dick when I ejaculate but the actual act of fucking or being sucked off is giving me very little pleasure. I have a really fucking horrible feeling of frustration about having been circumcised which is getting stronger.

The only three pieces of advice on another forum I have discussed this were:
1. Use tons of lube. I am doing this. It stops my glans drying out during sex but it not giving me any extra feeling.
2. Stimulate the skin between the scar and glans. But there is no skin between the scar line and glans. The inner skin has all gone.
3. Start foreskin restoration. This would be a long process as it is such a tight circumcision. It will not help me short-term.

People say it is cleaner and looks better to be circumcised. Both those are true. But having such a reduced feeling when fucking is driving me crazy. I would pay money to get the feeling back which has gone. I have an active sex life which used to give me loads of pleasure.

Has anyone else got the same feeling of frustration and regret? What can I do about it? Has anyone found solutions to the lack of sensitivity? Has anyone had similar regret and managed to overcome it?

I have posted this in several forums as no idea which is the most suitable.

I am sorry you are not happy with your circumcision. I know everyone is different and no two surgeries are alike, so it is hard for me to gauge how things have actually changed for you and whether what you had might be a bit on the less normal side because the result was more radical than expected. If you do feel like the surgery might have been botched in any way, do speak to a medical expert, as we cannot physically examine you here, or give medical advice.

It might help posting a picture (either of yourself or online equivalent that looks close to what you have), if you at want some visual confirmation that nothing looks out of the normal.

I had a very tight and quite low circumcision myself aged 21, incidentally, including having my frenulum removed, and I am fairly sure it would easily qualify as a radical result. The decision was mainly driven by the cosmetic aspect, which my surgeon also confirmed is almost always better with a more comprehensive removal of excess skin, and a scar placed close to the glans. Both looks and feeling of cleanliness are greatly improved for me, so I am happy with that and I would not want my foreskin back or regrow what I have left now. I am very happy having a bare glans 24/7 and I feel more confident with my body now.

I do have a bit of inner skin left, but I don’t feel it is directly stimulated in a material way, or gives me much pleasure by itself. Most of the pleasure for me comes from the area where my frenulum used to be, the rim of the glans, and the glans itself, which is very sensitive in a good way when lubed up or covered in my wife’s natural lubricant. It also feels good when I am hard and gently stroke the shaft skin, which with the little movement that I still have, pulls on the circ scar area and feels great. None of these have anything to do with the amount of inner skin I still have, so I doubt a higher cut would have changed much for me, beyond giving a poorer look.

For me sex has really not changed much, albeit I had no underlying health issues before I had my surgery. Since I could easily and fully retract, my glans was more used to more direct stimulation, as was the inside of my foreskin. I also did not get the drying out and flaking of the glans you mentioned post op, perhaps because I did not always have my glans covered - I would leave my foreskin retracted sometimes as I felt cleaner like that. Thus, for me, the permanent exposure post op did not change much.

Based on this, there are a few things it might help to have a think about:

1. You had severe enough phimosis to warrant a circumcision, meaning your penis was already far more sensitive than the average even for uncircumcised men. Simply getting you glans exposed now after years of under-stimulation resulted in a big change for you, that would have likely happened regardless of how tight your circumcision would have been. Things will improve with time as your brain gets used to the new sensation.
2. A circumcised penis, even a tightly cut one, has plenty of sensitive spots and pleasure points. Spend time and explore it. Get used to what you like and let your partners know as well.
3. Stop focusing on your penis so much during sex. I was a bit adamant myself about my sexual prowess post-op to be honest, after having read plenty of horror stories online, and I admit I had some times when I felt numb during sex. It all eventually turned out to be in my head, which I only properly found out after I met a lady that really liked my cock and spent time exploring sex together. Suddenly sex was feeling amazing and we were fucking like rabbits, getting feelings through my cock I had never experienced before. “See? All works just as great without the foreskin.” she told me one day after finishing me, knowing I had been a bit self conscious about it. We are married now.
4. Stop yourself from going down the intactivist rabbit hole. There really is some sick shit online, which glorifies the foreskin and belittles circumcised men, with no scientific or even honest anecdotal evidence. They live in their own echo-chamber and perpetuate the same exaggerated beliefs over and over again. I get their views against routine circumcision, but that is an ethical discussion. Calling circumcised men mutilated really harms them and also does a great disservice to those 5-10% of men for which circumcision is needed at some point in life as an effective and valid medical procedure.

Do you have pics from before and after?

I am pro choice - something my parents didn't afford me.

Sadly no before pics, as this was 7 years ago and keeping dick pics over that timeframe is not something I have ever felt I could sensibly do without risking them coming up at a random point in the future, or losing them altogether. Local storage would not have worked since I no longer own functioning secure hardware from back then. Cloud storage I do not recommend, as the pics are invariably scanned by Google, Amazon etc. to try and sell you ads, and smaller platforms either are not as secure or do not survive for that long. Sure, there are ways around it, but I did not feel my foreskin warranted the time and effort required to document its existence.

Plenty of “after” pics in my gallery here.

I decided to get it done to fit in now I regret doing it for almost the same reasons you listed I liked being uncut my head was more sensitive and jacking off was great luckily my doctor left skin on the shaft loose and the cut is near my head but do miss my foreskin i

I had an adult circ for medical reasons and one thing I've noticed with guys wanting to be cut or uncut is the preference seems to be environmentally influenced. If an uncut guy is around all cut guys he'd most likely want to be cut to fit in, even if he's cock is desired by the cut guys and vice versa.

Very rarely I've found guys wanting to be cut or uncut based solely on their own preference, it's always some external driver which is influencing them.

Even with my own circ I have found times when I wish I had a full retractable foreskin etc... But then when I'm around cut guys, I feel I fit in.

I don't see any this vs that here... my suggestion is the same as it ever was: doctors & parents must give options to their patients & sons. I would recommend not getting completely cut, not because I m not cut, but only to avoid possible and irreversible BAD results afterwards just like your case.... in partial phimosis (exactly what I had) there s no serious medical reason to get rid of the foreskin completely, just make a small cut or remove just a bit of the skin to widen the opening. In this way the rest of the skin retracts your and exposes the forehead easily without feeling any pain. But a complete skin removal and tight stitch will probably cause pain and discomfort and in some cases despair. If I was the doctor I would give more options to those who want to get cut only to avoid discomfort afterwards.

What a lot of people don't understand is that there's different styles of circumcision, not all circs are high cut. My adult circ is low and loose and it looks flaccid like an uncut cock with the gland exposed and feels like an uncut cock when I wank and have sex.

I agree, that the all off approach isn't the best option.

Many would think that my suggestion is weird , but get to think of it: as silly as it may sound, if a guy is suffering when he is hard after circumcision , then the best way for a doctor to decide and determine what is best per each individual would be to see how much skin can/ could remove by examining the man's dick when he is hard. Some straight guys may think this is gay etc etc, but being sorry afterwards is not manly either. And again I am saying that not everyone gets the same result, like tight or loose, but causing problems is certainly nobody's wish. This goes obviously to the guys that have experienced bad results complaining for their botched circs.. Afterwards, when there's no turning back. The ones who are fine, like yourself need no further help and I would be happy to hear only of similar results. A more delicate approach could minimize ugly outcomes. ...

I have a similar cut style - low and tight. I like what @Stu311 says and agree with his points. Especially the one about that having phimosis means that the the penis head is not uncovered and makes it alot more sensitive. I remember I had my tight foreskin which had a lot of feelings. I knew just right how to pull the skin back, to expose a little bit of the glans which were extremely sensitive, and the act of pulling back the skin to have some sharp pain in a nice way which added to the sensation even more.

Of course, only I knew how to do that. Any partner or other person handling my dick wouldn't know and would try to pull back and I would be in incredible pain.

Now I am circumcised I have no worries about how my penis is handled. But... the downside is that super sensitivity on the penis head is gone and there is no extra feeling that the tight foreskin had. So when masturbating it makes for a duller experience and takes alot longer. For sex though I always think how much better it is to be pain-free and the overall excitement of whats happening helps me.

A few years in and now the penis head was dry and starting to look quite rough so I started regularly moisturizing. I did this for two reasons... one to make it look visually better and less rough and two to hopefully get back some more sensation on the head.

However.. while it has made the glans smoother again, less cracked etc the head is still mostly insensitive. I have not found a way to get sensation back yet.

The way I look at it, if we take a normal penis that has no issues with foreskin tightness. Lets say they are a 10 on sensitivity. Our penis with tight foreskin was a 15 because we had extra sensation from our uncovered heads (ultra sensitivity) and sensation from the skin being tight. Now we are cut in this way we are now more like 3 on sensitivity scale. So we have gone from both extremes of the scale.

The only advice I can offer to help make you feel better about it, is that remember when you are having sex and playing with partners how not having that tight skin makes play more possible. I go through various emotion about my circumcision, sometimes, usually when playing with others, I like it. But when I'm playing with myself I don't like it very much. Point is, its not always bad.

Focus on the positives that circumcison brings by remembering the trouble you had with foreskin issues.

I would suggest consulting a different doctor for a second opinion on how to properly recover and deal with the change to your dick and how it will function going forward. I‘d also think it’s a good idea to talk to a therapist or counselor, they can help you deal with the emotions and mixed feelings you’re having much better than we can remotely on this site. You had a major change to your body that impacts your sex life, your self image and your emotional well being, you need someone you can talk to about it In confidence.

Valid points and thanks for highlighting the importance of not focusing only on the downsides. Overall, being circumcised is an improvement over suffering with severe phimosis. The procedure is safe, over a billion men are circumcised globally, and barring gross incompetence on behalf of the surgeon (and do seek a second opinion if that worries you), your penis should function normally and it is mostly a matter of getting used to the new sensation and finding what works for you.

As for the sensitivity point, indeed, going from phimosis to a radical circumcision does throw you from one end of the sensitivity spectrum to another, so it will take a bit longer to adapt. I wouldn’t put a figure to it, but it’s definitley as dramatic as the 15-10-3 numbers suggest. I did notice a decrease myself when I started retracting my foreskin more frequently and becoming more sexually active in my late teens and early twenties, but the difference between where I was as at 18 and where I was on the day of the surgery felt greater than what limited reduction in sensitivity I noticed post-op. So if it serves any consolation, my experience as a man circumcised for non-medical reasons, is that going from virgin/unexposed uncut to exposed and sexually active uncut had a far bigger impact to my perceived loss of sensitivity (but not pleasure) than what I felt I lost since I went under the knife. Based on this I don’t really feel that my circumcision robbed me of anything.

I am sorry you are not happy with your circumcision. I know everyone is different and no two surgeries are alike, so it is hard for me to gauge how things have actually changed for you and whether what you had might be a bit on the less normal side because the result was more radical than expected. If you do feel like the surgery might have been botched in any way, do speak to a medical expert, as we cannot physically examine you here, or give medical advice.

It might help posting a picture (either of yourself or online equivalent that looks close to what you have), if you at want some visual confirmation that nothing looks out of the normal.

I had a very tight and quite low circumcision myself aged 21, incidentally, including having my frenulum removed, and I am fairly sure it would easily qualify as a radical result. The decision was mainly driven by the cosmetic aspect, which my surgeon also confirmed is almost always better with a more comprehensive removal of excess skin, and a scar placed close to the glans. Both looks and feeling of cleanliness are greatly improved for me, so I am happy with that and I would not want my foreskin back or regrow what I have left now. I am very happy having a bare glans 24/7 and I feel more confident with my body now.

I do have a bit of inner skin left, but I don’t feel it is directly stimulated in a material way, or gives me much pleasure by itself. Most of the pleasure for me comes from the area where my frenulum used to be, the rim of the glans, and the glans itself, which is very sensitive in a good way when lubed up or covered in my wife’s natural lubricant. It also feels good when I am hard and gently stroke the shaft skin, which with the little movement that I still have, pulls on the circ scar area and feels great. None of these have anything to do with the amount of inner skin I still have, so I doubt a higher cut would have changed much for me, beyond giving a poorer look.

For me sex has really not changed much, albeit I had no underlying health issues before I had my surgery. Since I could easily and fully retract, my glans was more used to more direct stimulation, as was the inside of my foreskin. I also did not get the drying out and flaking of the glans you mentioned post op, perhaps because I did not always have my glans covered - I would leave my foreskin retracted sometimes as I felt cleaner like that. Thus, for me, the permanent exposure post op did not change much.

Based on this, there are a few things it might help to have a think about:

Things will improve with time as your brain gets used to the new sensation.
2. A circumcised penis, even a tightly cut one, has plenty of sensitive spots and pleasure points. Spend time and explore it. Get used to what you like and let your partners know as well.

Suddenly sex was feeling amazing and we were fucking like rabbits, getting feelings through my cock I had never experienced before. “See? All works just as great without the foreskin.” she told me one day after finishing me, knowing I had been a bit self conscious about it. We are married now.
4. Stop yourself from going down the intactivist rabbit hole. There really is some sick shit online, which glorifies the foreskin and belittles circumcised men, with no scientific or even honest anecdotal evidence. They live in their own echo-chamber and perpetuate the same exaggerated beliefs over and over again. I get their views against routine circumcision, but that is an ethical discussion. Calling circumcised men mutilated really harms them and also does a great disservice to those 5-10% of men for which circumcision is needed at some point in life as an effective and valid medical procedure.
Great answer, man.

OP should know that every person is different and that he went from hypersensitivity caused by phimosis to a penis with its glans always exposed.

Be as it may, it seems a lot of his problems are psychological. I hope he can overcome them.

Damn,you dudes are finally finding the truth about circumcision and exposing the absolute BS spewed forth for way too many years by the foreskin fanatics. Here is what I might add. The high and tight cut leaves the most sensitive skin post op. You are your best medical advocate and the “Caprain of your own ship”! Circumcision is really a good thing but do your homework. The pleasure and sensitivity equivalence will come faster and any perceived losses with the surgery will fade quickly. BTW—the same care about circumcision needs to be practiced at ANY age, especially if is it to optimally benefit those who will depend upon us a fully operational and aesthetically beautiful penis!

ALSO a great answer guys:

“OP should know that every person is different and that he went from hypersensitivity caused by phimosis to a penis with its glans always exposed.”

“Be as it may, it seems a lot of his problems are psychological. I hope he can overcome them.”

An option, but not really an intelligent option. The vast majority of males have no desire to “fuss” with their genitals for their entire lives. One can choose a lifetime of repeated genital procedures with their associated expenditures or two weeks of post-op healing with a onetime payment or even better as a mere itemized pregnancy expense.

In my case I had been putting off the surgery for a long time. I first started with various creams prescribed by GP way back when I was in my late teens. In early twenties they suggested circumcision as the necessary option to resolve it. This is in UK where I understand that they don't usually offer this unless creams and stretching had not already worked.

I didnt want circumcision and persisted with creams and stretching but it never helped enough. I was very afraid of circumcision and it wasnt until I was 29 until I got it done. It was certainly not a decision I took lightly.

As @Mcuthigh says, there comes a point when you just want to get it sorted and indeed there is only so much fuss and disappointment you can take when you have play time with partner restricted due to phimosis pain. It is not possible to keep on "fussing" over it on-going forever.

I also tried everything. Circumcision wasn't my first option but I learned to live with it.

It is important that men who were circumcised as adults talk to others about the procedure. Men who were circumcised when babies or uncut guys have no basis for comparison and often speculate about what they don't know. Too much speculation out there.
