Circumcision question

Thank You! I'm sure that's what the doctor referred to. He couldn't have known that i have kept my skin back constantly back for the past 30 years! However that skin is so stretched now and my head is big anyway so it's hard to keep it covered any how. Yes i lost a little sensitivity..So what? I don't miss that uncomfortable feeling for one bit. In any case i'm glad that no one cut me! I've seen quite a few botched circumcisions out there! And of course the fact that the skin prevents the penis to fully grow is a stupid myth somewhat divulged in porno magazines (in Europe) in the seventies....Like any other stupid sex myths. (like all italians are well endowed, which is not true at all....every one is different! My first boyfriend was sicilian and hung like a pinky!)
 
I'm 62 and have not been cut and would not get my son cut. there is a lot more feeling in an uncut dick that gives much more pleasure during oral and vaginal sex. Most all of the ladies I have been with have liked the idea that I was more responsive to a gentle touch. All of the men have approved.
 
Well I for one an very glad that I was cut at birth. After having two partners that are uncut, it makes me even more glad. Even after they had a shower there still was an odor. Although I did like to "dock" with my last boyfriend!
 
Keeping the skin back can cause the foreskin to swell (edema) and can actually strangle the head...which becomes an emergency!
It's no emergency. Another of those myths - or else people just don't know what to do. You just squeeze the blood out of your glans with your fingers until you can recover it.

Paraphimosis IS an emergency. If you do not bring the tight foreskin back over the head quickly, you risk losing your glans.
however, a doctor should have been able to look at an adult penis with a retracted foreksin and see that there was no tightness/tight ring behind the coronna fo head and realise that there is no danger.
If your foreskin has been retracted for quite some time without any issues, then you are safe from any phimosis or paraphimosis issues.
Paraphimosis occurs when a normally covered penis with tight foreskin is forecibly retracted, at which point the tight band of foreksin strangulates the flow of blood into/out of the glans which then grows and in doing so, increases the strangulation.
Another possible paraphimosis cause is a normal foreksin being kept retracted for the first time and some infection or whatever causes some swelling of the foreskin which then narrows and can cause a mild case of paraphimosis. Not sure how common this is.
The irony is that once you can safely leave it retracted, the foreksin is then problem free.
I am curious as to whether the doctor in the original post asked the patient if he was circumcised or not, or whether it was obvious that he was uncut due to amount of skin bunched up against rim of head ?
Normally, a doctor, upon seeing an exposed glans will conclude that it is a healthy penis without any foreksin problems. (an uncircumcised male able to keep foreksin retracted very rarely has any foreskin problems).
 
The "swell/edema" a certain anti-foreskin extremist mentioned is paraphimosis. If you were at-risk of that, the risk would be present regardless of whether you keep it retracted or not. Since you've been keeping it retracted for 30+ years, it's safe to say you not at-risk of that.

I'm asssuming you're referring to my earlier post, however, if you look at my previous posts, I never said I was anti-foreskin, nor did I advocate cutting all guys/infant boys. There is a search function that will allow you to look at said previous posts.

Now, as for the edema, can you supply us with the scientific literature that there is no risk of edema after 30+ years, and that it's just a myth by anti-foreskin extremists? I'm just asking since you like to make this request of so many others when they state an opinion.

Personally, I wouldn't (and didn't when I was uncut) take this chance of cutting off the flow of blood to my penis' head and then facing an amputation.
 
Original poster - DO NOT let the kid be cut. Period.

Circumcision of newborns is bullshit. I wish I'd neven been cut, especially when I had nothing to say about it.:mad:

Look bro', I know what paraphimosis is. The glans is the distal tip of the corpus spongiosum. It's called the corpus spongiosum because the tissue is like a sponge.

Please tell me why you think that it is not possible to squeeze the glans to make it smaller so that the foreskin can be recovered. I agree that it could be harmful if the blood supply is cut off for too long, but how much faster could you do it yourself than waiting to get to a doctor? Really people are frequently ignorant of normal genital anatomy.
 
lol. I wonder how many circumcision posts there are in total on lpsg.org
Must take up at least a terabyte
Well this made me curious so I went to the search functioning here, entered the word CIRCUMCISION and saw pages appear There is circumcison, circ. style, adult circ, at birth circ, etc. etc, and several also to foreskin resoration If one had no other interest and clearly no life they could spend a week reading all the pro and con posts on this matter.
 
... I never said I was anti-foreskin, nor did I advocate cutting all guys/infant boys. ...
It may be true you never said you were anti-foreskin but I'd say it's unlikely you'll be doing foreskin restoration anytime soon.

I wasn't writing about general cases. It's clear I was writing about his specific case and thus "scientific literature" isn't applicable. Moreover, I qualified it "safe to say".

I didn't say edema is "myth of anti-foreskin extremists". Either you misread what I wrote or you purposely misconstrued it.
 
SteveHD, I will give you one thing...I won't be doing foreskin restoration anytime soon. Oh, but, does that fall under "purposefuly misconstrueing" something?

Why do you refer to who is obviously me as an "anti-foreskin extremist"? Is it because I got cut as an adult...my choice? Making one's own choice is something you seem to be big on. I guess since there's no argument there, it appears you have to "extend" your argument...all of a sudden, getting cut by one's choice is bad. Does that make me "anti-foreskin"? Where have any of my posts tried to push circumcision on anyone?

Sad that some just have nothing better to do but try and pick arguments.
 
... Why do you refer to who is obviously me as an "anti-foreskin extremist"? ...
I'll retract "extremist". I had you confused with someone else.
Is it because I got cut as an adult...my choice?
No, I didn't recall when yours was done. I've written previously I don't give a rat's ass about adult circs.
 
Is it because I got cut as an adult...my choice?
You are in an extremely small minority. Don't over extend your experience. Perhaps some men who have problems are happier cut, but most men never have any problems and there are conservative therapies that don't involve genital cutting for those who do.
 
I am uncut and the women I have been with it... love the fact! Besides... a little smoother slide and ride. But the best part? When I need someplace to put my chewing gum.... I can now hide it! LOL... Growing up in highschool gym class I received lots of pain about it... but watching a woman's eyes light up when she examines an uncut phallus... is worth it all!

Good to hear. Where are you from?
 
dxjnorto, I think you're quoting me out of context...I was referred to as an "anti-foreskin extremist" even though I never advocated anyone getting cut in any of my postings. That was the point of my statement about my making the choice.

Not sure what the "over extending" business is about.
