Circumcision Pros??

[slate_australis]

Um... I've never been turned down either.

My comment was based on the possibility of some ignorant person getting their knickers in a twist. But in my years and variety of sexual experience, it's never happened.

Damian - "My cock is sensitive enough".

I am glad for you and you are clearly satisfied as you are – may you have many happy orgasms!!! But the expression ‘sensitive enough’ is difficult for me to understand – it reminds me of the lyrics "Too much fun … too much money … a girl too pretty … being too lucky … a car too fast". Short of removing a tooth and torturing its nerve, how can one have too much sensation? Perhaps you just get tired of being called ‘mutilated’, etc… Perhaps I’m just a perve who want more, more, more.


I have experienced glans sensitivity in 3 states: cut, partially restored, and mashed in an accident. Being cut is way better than being mashed but it has always left me unsatisfied. For some few cut guys that’s the way it is. DXJ relates "I could barely orgasm by 37." It wasn’t that negative for me but orgasms required a lot of work (which is always fun) and were somehow disappointing. I wondered, perhaps sex just really wasn’t that big of a deal – but how could so many people be so deluded? Must be something wrong with me. I had accepted that that is the way I was made and just lived with it. In the world of sexual giants, I was a dwarf pigmy.

When I first heard of restoration, it seemed a silly, stupid thing – to spend years yanking on yourself to have a bunch of superfluous skin that looked odd, could possibly stink, and never really be the genuine article, yuk! Years of occasionally running across accounts from uncut men as to how their glans feels (things similar to what Slate as told us – sensitivity to the point of discomfort at times) made me wonder ‘what on earth?’ Finally what caught my attention was reading of restored people who expressed that sex used to be … like me. So I began experimenting with restoration.

The real improvement in sensitivity came from using defoliating skin creams. One day suddenly there was this strong erotic sensation from out of the blue that I had never experienced before, my hormones started racing and I couldn’t sleep for 3 nights. After that, if a water spray from the shower hit the glans, I’d jump back surprised. Sometimes touching the glans would produce a slight tingling, burning, erotic sensation. This at lease partially seemed like things uncut guys would say. Sex was easily the best I ever experienced - 300%.

Sadly, an accident last spring removed all sensitivity and its been a long time recovering. After nine months I’m at about 25%.


So from my perspective, when I read of someone who wants to be circumcised, I am truly stunned. People extolling the virtues of being cut make my brain go TILT. Surely I must be in the minority but I have lost decades of sensual pleasure because a bunch Victorians a couple hundred years ago popularized a custom in hope that I wouldn’t masturbate.

I realize that my experience is the exception, not the rule. I would say to the ‘young impressionable guys’: Enjoy what you have, don’t listen to anybody saying there is something wrong with you – cut or uncut. However, if you think you might have a problem, patiently research it (you have got years) and proceed cautiously. And yes, of course, may you have many wonderful orgasms!

Cut is way better than uncut. Uncut penises are filthy and disgusting, and always has a rotten fishy smell.

Not ALL of them. Couldn't a wet wipe fix it? I would like to know about the spontaneity issue.
I once was asked to go down on my friend and he tasted like shit . I thought he must have screwed someone's booty and got me to suck it for a cruel joke. It actually was that he probably didn't practice proper hygiene. What is the deal with the smell from smegma and and glands and whatnot. I felt terrible about having my son circumcised until I found forums about it and the men claimed that it was so much more convenient. I think circumcision should not ber done until the penis has stopped growing. The removal of too much skin will not allow the penis to grow to it's full potential and may not let all of the penis out and be stuck inside the body.
I have noticed thatthe vagina takes on the wiener smell that is hard to get rid of even with douching. DON"T say infection . It wasn't from infection .All odor is not infection.

Tom, so sorry to hear about your accident. What the hell happened?

You can easily convert to Judaism.

I can't and do not intend to respond to your senseless posts.

Could you elaborate upon "always"? Is it just yours that "always" has a "rotten fishy smell"? Or is it every intact penis on every guy on all of Planet Earth?

 

[jafar]

Well said. Who on earth want to extend their penile skin? Whoever wants to do this should check himself into the nearest psychiatric hospital ASAP.

DXJ – "Tom, so sorry to hear about your accident. What the hell happened?"

I was sitting on a hard stool when a heavy object fell in my lap and mangled my manhood. Fortunately only the end got it badly. Visibly, it healed up nicely. Functionally, well … the skin and shaft feel as they always have but the glans completely lost sensation.

For 5 months it felt like a dead piece of flesh hanging there, like Novocaine, with rare, occasional stinging or throbbing. If I pressed my fingernail hard anywhere, I could feel it – just only 1% or so.

By autumn, it started to feel like ordinary flesh with low sensation. Only a few weeks ago did I start to feel any erotic sensations. But even with the progress, the glans still has less feeling than the remnant of inner skin and much less than before the accident. One strange thing though, my erect length is ½" longer now – but I wouldn’t recommend it as a PE technique.

‘Hell’ is a nice descriptive word for this experience.

Jafar – "Well said. Who on earth want to extend their penile skin? Whoever wants to do this should check himself into the nearest psychiatric hospital ASAP."

Well, that is what I thought in my ignorance (we Americans have quite a lot of opinions.) But now I know that for some, like myself, it greatly enhances their sexual experiences – a small price to pay for such a simple procedure.

The mental hospitals must be full of old Greeks since they extended their penile skin even though they weren’t even cut (look up ‘kynodesme&#8217.


If you wish to pay (its not free like in Canada) for my stay at the hospital, it might be fun. You know in the old days, sanatoriums were places to go for a peaceful rest – what we today would call a quiet vacation. And who knows, a little thorizine might just be great after the year I’ve had.


However I might ask: Who wants to chop off the end of their penis?!? In this country, usually when people start cutting themselves, they are the ones that get checked into a mental ward. But then again we Americans might not be very open minded.

Opinions are so fickle: If I started chasing little boys with a knife, they would lock me up as a molester. But if I wear the right outfit, wielding a scalpel and say: "Little Johnny will be sooo much cleaner this way, and besides don’t you think he should look like you?" – I’d could get rich.

I just thought of a ‘Pro’: Getting cut reduces body weight and that is healthy right? And its good for the environment, just think: If a 747 holds 500 people and half are males, all those missing foreskins would lighten the load such as to save hundreds of gallons of jet fuel during the life of the aircraft. Think of the reduced carbon emissions – if the rest of the world was cutting themselves like us Americans, we might even reduce global warming.

... I think circumcision should not [be] done until the penis has stopped growing. The removal of too much skin will not allow the penis to grow to it's full potential and may not let all of the penis out and be stuck inside the body.

Since the penis continues to grow during some of the teen years, I'll suggest 18 (or later) as the recommended point in time to do the cut. Deal?

"Uncut penises are filthy and disgusting, and always has a rotten fishy smell." -- grammar not mine

Now I don’t doubt that some members here have had bad penis hygiene experiences, but what about other hygiene issues? Does circumcision resolve dirty armpit scent? Halitosis? Raw garlic breathe? Bad ass-crack smell? Foot smell? Vaginal offness? Greasy scalp odor? Taco farts?

You know, cauterizing your nasal tissues would resolve all these and much more. Women could enjoy this privilege too. And what a small cost – food won’t be quite as tasty but you’ll still enjoy it and thrive. Who knows, maybe we won’t overeat so much as an added benefit – the fat loss might provide fuel savings to make up for the additional weight of keeping our foreskins.

Of course some just smoke, which reduces the sense of smell and reduces appetite. But I think it is more expensive in the long run.

The simplest solution -- "Have some soap." The next might be to be more picky about who you choose to be intimate with.

Hey - im sorry if some of you guys have had bad experiences
But my cock remains sensitive - especially the tip. And I look after it, and I think personal care and hygiene are important whether you are cut or uncut
I always use moisturiser on my bod, and I always put either vaselene or moisturiser on my helmet head after ive had a shower - its kept it pink and sensitive all these years
I think some people who complain about loss of sensitivity whether they are uncut or cut sometimes in a few cases have only themselves to blame because they have not looked after themselves - if they dont look after themselves what do you expect

 

[B_Italian1]

But my cock remains sensitive - especially the tip.

Same here.

And I look after it, and I think personal care and hygiene are important whether you are cut or uncut

Ain't that the truth!

I always use moisturiser on my bod, and I always put either vaselene or moisturiser on my helmet head after ive had a shower - its kept it pink and sensitive all these years

I don't moisturize my body, but I rub a tiny bit of vaseline on the head before I take a shower. I don't want the vas to get on my undies. :biggrin1:

 

[Damian Johnson]

Italian - I bet you have to put quite a bit of vaseline to cover that big bell end you got! Lol! :smile:

 

[B_dxjnorto]

Yeah, but you guys were both cut at birth. Saying you don't know different is not the same as saying there is no difference.

 

[Damian Johnson]

Dxj

My point was that cut or uncut people need to look after themselves

Sometimes people dont bother with hygiene or moisturising - and then later in life they only have themselves to blame when things are not in tip top condition

As people get older their sex drive and bodies are obviously not the same as when they are younger so as you get older you gotta look after yourself

thats the key point of what I am saying

 

[B_Italian1]

Italian - I bet you have to put quite a bit of vaseline to cover that big bell end you got! Lol! :smile:

No, I just take a tiny bit and rub it on the glans and underneath. I have to compensate for my baby skin that was thrown in the rubbish. :biggrin1::tongue:

 

[Damian Johnson]

I bet you do Italian!!

Damian – "Sometimes people dont bother with hygiene or moisturising - and then later in life they only have themselves to blame when things are not in tip top condition."

In this case you are right for according to the law: "Ignorance is no excuse".

I grew up in a Western USA culture (Clint Eastwood kind of stuff) with the added influence of being a Mormon community. Even today, in some parts, people still pack and have the attitude "Anything that moves deserves a bullet". Sex and penises were never talked about. Hygiene was obvious since nobody liked stink. But moisturizer was sissy stuff. Even putting it on your hands or face to stop the hard, dry wind was to be branded a faggot. Such a label could forfeit ones job.

As an adult in New York, work mates have had little useful information to contribute since their stories often go like: "I f...ed 100 women during the weekend making them all scream, 90 of them got pregnant and 10 of them broke their teeth." And if I hang around more religious types, well … again you don’t talk details about such thing.

I am sure that moisturizing my cock would have improved my sex life. But coming from such a culture the idea never ever occurred to me. Had I been left intact however, it wouldn’t have been an issue (unless gangrene took over). So for me two customs have impacted my life negatively.

I began restoration last year and joined this and similar sites to further my education on topics that were never discussed. So now I know at 46 years old after filtering through a bunch of crap. There are, no doubt, others that grew up unreasonable sheltered too and have had to endure stupid stories. Sex ed in schools today talk of condoms and avoiding disease but I doubt they talk about moisturizer – anyone please correct me if they know otherwise.
