In the vainest of simplistic answers, I much prefer "the look" of a cut penis vs one that has a ton of extra foreskin over its glans. Purely subjective. I absolutely do not feel I was mutilated, barbarically treated by my parents and doctor, have not considered suicide or have hatred toward my parents, or any of what I consider extreme views regarding circumcision. My glans doesn't chafe and I haven't worn underwear in years, and like others have said, my orgasms are so damn good I often have to cover my mouth so as to not disturb the neighbors!!! People have posted, "How do circumcised guys beat off?". I mean, my god get real for gosh sakes!!!

I'm livid about it. Lol - I was cut loose so was easily able to get the skin to go the other direction with stretching, cover when limp. I also have my frenulum. I'll never be uncut, but at least I have a glimpse. Lol. I cringe when a circumcision takes most of the inner skin and frenulum. The before and after difference in my dick function was astounding. And the inner skin and frenulum, as well as a head that's not constantly exposed is so much more sensative than not. Id rather like to know what it's like to have correct anatomy as I should have had. Seems like an inherent right to me.

This should be a choice by the individual. And in my opinion, a being capable of making choices,and they can do whatever they want to their own body.

the reason people get so worked up over this is because there are so many overlapping issues when it comes to routine infant circumcision (RIC). the best we can do is to breathe deeply, remain calm, and try to put yourself in other people's shoes. try to think as impartially as possible, which is incredibly difficult when talking about this.

first off, it's the penis. we're all on this site because we like them. some of us more than others, of course, but the point is, the penis is one of the most personal attributes of a guy. there's not a single body part on a male's body that we emote as strongly about. it makes sense that this would be a serious thing to think about. and since it's so personal, feelings are different for everyone.

i have met a few guys who were circumcised as an adult and then had a bit of buyers' remorse. i've also met a few guys who had it done as an adult and are totally happy. i've met a few guys who were circumcised as an infant and are happy with it, and i've met a few guys who were circumcised as an infant who are not happy about it. it's personal. it's subjective.

the point here, for me, is not adult circumcision. adults are free to make their own decisions, and he is responsible for the outcome. when you talk about infants, it's trickier. of course, parents are charged with protecting their young, and they should be allowed to do so at their discretion ... but within reason.

for me, personally, i've thought about my circumcision status a lot. i never knew my foreskin, which does, admittedly, frustrate me. my parents didn't have me circumcised just after birth because of anything in particular, just because "that's how it was done". i've spent a lot of time trying to figure out just how it affects me, given that it happened without my consent. if i speak as honestly and plainly as i can, i have to say, i wish i'd been left to make my own decision about it because now i have no way of knowing whether it was the right choice. in all the research and soul-searching that i've done, i still end up feeling like RIC is just... hasty. before my foreskin even had a chance to give me a problem, it was removed.

again, this is the penis we're talking about. i love my penis. and quite a few others do, too. :) but something i keep getting stuck on is this idea that as soon as i was born, it was culturally determined (not medically) that i was created incorrectly. not even a week old and i was considered defective and in need of remedy. *shrug* it just seems odd that we'd be born with this equipment, as nature intended, only to have it removed immediately.

*shrug* yeah, i know this is getting to be a bit of a rant, but like i said, it's a very personal thing. and it's a very complex thing. we tend to oversimplify this issue because we don't want to have to think about it. i mean, who does? who likes thinking about slicing up a boy's penis? but simply reducing the argument to "it's just a flap of skin" is not enough. and suggesting that people who have a problem with circumcision are in need of therapy is a bit like defending yourself by cutting others down (pardon the pun). of course i have strong feelings about this... it's my penis! and yeah, it is kind of upsetting that my parents didn't think about it hardly at all. but so it is.

i'm not saying anyone's right or wrong, per se, but i am saying that before anyone throws the baby out with the bath water, think long and hard about that baby. circumcised or not, that baby has to live with the decision. in only one of those outcomes, the boy can think for himself.

This.

Well, I have to say this thread does not apply to me. I am circumcised but not at birth, though I was circumcised as a toddler. My elder brother had phimosis, he couldn't pee and was in a lot of pain, the doctors looked at me as I was son no.2 and said I was going the same way, so we were circumcised. I doubt I was going that way, my younger brothers don't have phimosis and are intact as they say, I have 3 younger brothers.

I don't have any memories of having a foreskin, I have no angst against anyone. And after all these years, it is what my penis looks like and I am happy with it, and I do like the look. My brothers, and probably my father who wasn't circumcised that problems with their foreskins namely the smell, and having to remove the detritus that accumulates under their foreskin and over their glans. I mean clothing fluff, pubic hairs, dead skin.... You can say that showering daily will remove this detritus, my brothers were hyper clean guys and their foreskins smelled. They told me they washed their penises before sex, they enjoyed, how unusual, oral sex. I forgot the layer of urine that is attached to the glans and inside of the foreskin that is topped up every time these guys urinate. You can draw back your foreskin and wipe away the drops, but there always some urine that slowly comes out after they have stopped wiping and put their dicks away.

Maybe I am going on too much, but my brothers and I were very candid with each other and they hated the smell. In my opinion my glans is quite sensitive, I cannot wear ordinary sized condoms as it hurts to squeeze my glans to a be able to get the condom past the glans and onto the shaft. I will admit that it takes me a long time to ejaculate during sex, but I am 65, it is age related, and who can complain that a man can give a woman multiple orgasms for one of his.

The anti Circ people are by and large well meaning but they do have the lunatic element, and place too much emphasis on mutilation, pain and loss of sensitivity. I love my mutilation, wouldn't change that for squillions of dollars, and it looks sexy to me. The pain, I cannot remember anything, but I can tell you that having pain from an enlarged prostate I wouldn't put on any man no matter if he is the biggest arsehole I have met. Does anyone care about that pain? Heck, no. The loss of sensitivity due to keratinization of the glans is to me just bullshit.

I still have a frenulum. I have managed to tear it several times just having sex, and yes, it hurts. So having a frenulum is not all beer and skittles.

I wish i had been circumcised at birth. I git circumciaed as an adult at age 35, I wish I could have had it done sooner.
I saw a circumcised dick when I was about 7 years old. I really liked what I saw. I wanted my dick to look like that someday. I like being circumcised and wouldn't go vack if I could. Greatly satisfied.

Good on you, circedbychoice. A circumcised penis does look better. If it didn't why would so many uncircumcised men keep their foreskins held back past their coronas trying to pass off as circumcised. Even in men whose erect penises are covered by their foreskins, penetration pulls the foreskin back, which is good as their glans would feel nothing during sex except pain. For me, it is cleanliness more than anything. No uncut man can prove to me that he hasn't a smelly unpleasant penis, and men are not known for their high hygiene. No sons are uncut but that is because my wife was against circumcision. Interesting how women stick their oar into waters that have nothing to do with them. I told my wife it is her responsibility to teach my boys proper penis hygiene including drawing back their foreskins to clean it and to pee without spraying everywhere as lots of men do.

Personally the anti Circ thing is basically a lot of homosexual men who think having a smelly, ugly foreskin gives them a better functioning penis, sure for HIV infections it is great. Also a lot of dumb arsed women who think that fucking a stadium full of me makes them experts in the male body.

This isn't about getting circumcised, it's about being circumcized without the choice. Good on anyone who wants to get circumcized, it's not a contest. Lol

Children don't have choices. They don't choose their parents, the religion they are exposed to, whether they are sent to Public schools or Private schools, what clothes they wear, how late they can stay up, when to wake up... Where are the choices there for the child? I was not asked to be circumcised, two year old children don't, I didn't choose to end up in Australia, I was born in Europe. I didn't choose to be raised Presbyterian.

And what fucking use is a foreskin? You can say a lot of pro foreskin things but none of those things are provable, just a lot of hot air based on prejudice which probably has an anti Jewish base to it.

I hope you understand now, that children do not have choices over their bodies or anything else.

I was cut in in my 30s and while the process was ok it was still annoying and if I had a choice I would've wanted it done in infancy. And there's the catch, had I been cut as an infant I probably wouldn't want it because I would probably romantize the mysterious unknown foreskin. If the foreskin was on your thumb or ear it would be different but since it's on the penis it becomes a psychological thing for some guys.
The stringy underneath part of my tongue was cut and I had no idea till my mom mentioned in in my 20s. It's called lingual frenectomy and it's pretty common. Makes no difference to me since I don't remember, I would imagine that's probably how it is being cut as an infant too. Having a skin flap on your dick must be weird.

I was very sensitive when I was a boy but my sex drive and penis matured and I became less sensitive which increased the pleasure because I could build it up and last longer before releasing. As for personal preference on others, while I do crave the foreskin sometimes because they taste different and I like the moisty-ness
and slight odor, objectively cut is better overall. Foreskin is useless since we stopped running naked through the savannah a million years ago.

So over the past few years, i have read endless stories about guys who feel robbed and mutilated over being circumcised at birth. At first I felt like I should be mad too, that I should be pissed at my parents, robbing me of sensitivity and a natural penis. But now, I have stopped worrying about this one thing, that I cant change.

I have accepted that I have been circumcised, I can still feel sensitivity down there and lead a very fulfilling sex life. The only problem I encounter comes from people, people who cant accept it, breeding the feeling I'm a freak, that I am a mutilated person and I should feel bad, ashamed and robbed.

I'd like people to post their "Happy ending" stories, so to speak. Positive stories about how they are happy being circumcised and wouldnt change it, even if they could.

I dont want this to be a debate over whether it is wrong or not to have your baby circumcised, there are enough threads devoted to that. I want this a place for young people to see that being circumcised either because of the medical, religious or hygienic beliefs of their parents, doesnt mean they are missing out or that they should hate themselves, their parents or society, because of a piece of skin.

I thank God and my parents that I am circumcised. My parents were prompted to have it done and I am greatful. My son's are also circumcised as is the norm in our area. Never have I felt mutilated or cheated. Never have I felt a lost of sensitivity or lacked in fantastic orgasms. I do however feel thankful I don't have to worry about "dick cheese" or odors or any of the related issues. Hell yeah I'm proud to be circumcised. Everyone has their own opinions and beliefs. Live and let live. But I'm proud to be cut and I'm not shy about showing it
