I got circumcised today

[darkbond007]

It is utterly irrational to say that nerve-laden tissue was removed without reducing sensations. It's a matter of credibility. I have none because I'm selling something. Some guy who chose to be cut has none because he's rationalizing about his loss. Whatever.

No it's not. Sexual pleasure is driven by brain activity. I just found out you are selling something so you are right, you have no credibility. Your assumption that I am rationalizing my loss is an assumption, as I have stated before I gained sensations I did not even know was there. Your rational of taking something away diminishes the sense but from a biological standpoint if you lose your sight, your other sense become heightened.

You can't say you still have a fully functioning penis. If nothing changed, then why did you get cut? SOMETHING is different. Since something was taken away, and nothing added, I say sex was diminished. If you happen to like the way it was diminished, I'm thrilled for you.

When I say I still have a fully functioning penis I mean in comparison to you, or someone else with a true foreskin or the other guy who is happy with his cut penis. You are assuming again that because my foreskin was taken away my sexual sensation has to diminish. I look at my penis as an absolute, if I am happy with it and I feel it gives me all the sexual pleasure in the world who are you to tell me any different?

If the part that was removed was malfunctioning, then I'm doubly thrilled for you that it could be removed without you perceiving a loss.

This isnt a question of perception. It's a fact. I'm telling you. I'm pretty sure I'm the only one attached to my penis.

But I have to speak up when people act like choosing to amputate a body part is normal. The number for intact adults choosing to get cut is 1 in 500. (The one in 16 thousand number for Finland is the number found to ever actually need a circ for medical reasons. There's a comparable published study for Sweden).

LOL. You too with these "let me see what number I can pull out of my head to support my argument"?????? Unless you missed the boat on this one, no one is arguing that it is normal. But it does exist. People do get circumcised as adults, can we possibly take a poll of this board???? I dont care what the numbers are in regards to who is left intact versus who isnt. Fact remains is it serves a purpose in certain situations.

95% of the non-Muslim world does not circumcise. Intact is normal. The reason it matters here is that this forum is read by some guys in circumcising cultures, and I'd like to think they won't fall prey to some misguided notion that their intact genitals are abnormal.

Dude...Stop with this. Why leave Muslims out of the statistics? Maybe I should try it... I dont think anyone is arguing that intact is not normal. HOWEVER, the argument is that intact is not the only way your penis can function. If there is a problem with your intact penis you have the RIGHT to go out and seek a solution and if that solution is circumcision then you have the right to know that your sexual disposition can actually get better! Will it? I guess that is a question for each individual person.

Some guys like to wear sunglasses so they can stare at the beautiful painted desert for a long time. I like to take my glasses off and see the richness of the colors. Is either approach wrong? Of course not. Deciding for someone else that they must always wear shades would be wrong, I think we all agree.

You don't even believe in your own analogy. Your unique disposition as a marketer of a product which substitutes a foreskin wont allow for that. Your fetishistic mind dictates that the only penis you feel one should have is one with a foreskin. Despite everything you have said in this thread, you barely talked about your own penis except for the one thread where you actually had to break down what your perceived was better. I find it peculiar that you even look at sex that way. Your argument is full with flaws but the greatest one is...

You repeat that if you take something away then its gone forever. Your RIC took away your foreskin! You "restored" the skin and then you tell us about all this new sensation and new nerve activity you have down there. You are still circumcised. You still dont have your foreskin you just stretched THE SAME EXACT minimal amount of skin you had before and you expect me and the rest of this board to believe you ADDED something??? If perception is reality and in this case I do believe it is, it is of my opinion that once you had a hood of some sorts over the head of your penis, that in and of itself gives you sexual pleasure, which again...I must reiterate...Is driven from your brain, and now that you perceive yourself as having the penis of your dreams, the mental block you built up in yourself and possibly in your wife, has been removed. I am happy that you have come to this revelation, but refuse to irrationality to dicate this argument.

I find it sad that you guys are arguing over circumcision and foreskin. You either have foreskin or you don't, you either like it or you don't, and you may need it removed or not due to possible medical complications. The end.

There, I just summed up dozens of posts of arguing. Can we hold hands and get along now? Seriously. This thread is about a guy that got circumcised, not an argument about whether or not circumcision is wrong, or the statistics behind sensitivity, usefulness, being politically correct, etc.

Well yeah...You summed it up perfectly. But some people live in a dream world and need to be kicked in the backside when they come with their irrational agenda.

To claim back my thread for a little bit. It's been 2 weeks since my circumcision and except for not being able to jack the skin and no intercourse, I really feel my circumcision is over. The last scabby stitch fell off several days ago. I'm going to take and post some after photos. My room mates are back after spring break so it's hard to find the privacy to take them.
What follows is all my humble opinion about and not meant to step on anybody's tender foreskin...er, toes.

This has been surprisingly easy and I love being circumcised. Once you get over the concept of having your penis cut and sutured, the actual experience is a piece of cake. I realize I had a great doctor and a best case recovery, I didn't even feel bad from the anesthesia which I did the other time I was put out. Everybody at the surgery center made me feel very comfortable.

I know some guys will come up with reasons to ignore anything I say, but I come down strong on the side that the sexual feeling is really in your brain and not in the amount of skin or feet of nerves on your penis. My doc said that was the case and it certainly feels that way to me! I mean it makes sense, we don't think a guy feels more if he has a bigger dick or a longer foreskin, right? Seems like circ concentrates the feelings in a smaller area, not gets rid of them. I think the big news about circ is that the feeling is very much the same if you'r cut or not. Like 99% maybe.
Being circumcised you get a nice masculine feeling from your penis frequently through the day. When you're uncut you don't rally feel anything with the hood forward. When I was first exposed, I was wondering how it would be but your brain really adjusts quickly in the sense that the feelings from my exposed penis head are always there but I've already learned how to ignore them.
Once again, I want to thank the people here who supported me. Talking with guys who have already done it really made it easier on me. To the folks who have hijacked this thread for debate and to put out there some of their cluelessness about the topic, I feel sorry for you. Really. You either have a fetish for foreskins so big it makes you spent hours "one handed typing" on my thread. Or you really feel so wounded you want to share your unhappiness with everybody.

you have put the topic in its proper place here. concerning these type people. and your right indeed, its nothing but a foreskin fetish with them in most cases. others are just plain unhappy and don't want to admit it on here or any place else. but glad you have found out how good it is to be cut. also it is much better for us ladies as well you see :wink: lol. so here is to enjoying your new cut cock. they are the best. congratulations on your circumcision.

 

[Hellboy0]

I am very happy that you were able to make this decision on your own and I hope you enjoy the results. If not, you could always restore it.

Yeah, but restoring takes a hell of lot of time and commitment. AND no more special nerves. I know cuz I've been trying to restore now for over a year and don't got at all the skin I want.

But I don't think that's why the OP was doing this anyway. :smile:

PS And Im not trying to hijack this thread. Was only making a comment on the inefficacy of restoration. I think the OP is very happy and I'm happy for him!

 

[TLCTugger]

This has been surprisingly easy

Hey, congratulations, and again I applaud anyone who has an informed adult choice to make.

I'm sorry if you think your thread got hijacked, but if so it happened when people before me started saying cutting an infant was easier/better. Your experience proves there is no reason NOT to leave the choice for an adult to make.

I'm glad you're happy with your sensations so far, but understand intactivists will say such testimony is not relevant to infant circumcision because most guys who wind up restoring were thrilled with what they had going on for decades, until they realized that things were getting less sensitive with time.

There is no reason you couldn't wear your remaining skin forward like a foreskin. If you ever want a retainer to try that, I'd be happy to comp you one.

Cheers,

........Billions of men have lived happy, healthy, productive lives with foreskin intact....... .

Billions uncut men lived happy .....because billions men didn't know anything about circumcision.....
Even in Europe ....hundreds of million people didn't know about circumcision......so how can they know the great pleasure of a high-tight circumcised cock ?

Millions primitive tribes lived happy although they didn't wear clothes .....because they didn't know about clothes

Only men whoever experiences with his two circumcision state will know how modification make him better.

Nature is good but people do modification for getting better.
Nature never building houses .... but people built a house for getting better.
Nature never make clothes ....but people make clothes for getting better..
Nature never do circumcision .....but pleople do circumcision for getting more pleasure and health....

 

[B_dxjnorto]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, you cut-as-adults-cum-circ boosters. That's what I object to. Plenty of normal healthy guys talked into it, especially in circ happy U.S., by guys like yourselves saying join the club. As anyone who follows this issue knows, many are regretful.

Only in the U.S. where the normal penis is considered the fetish condition.

 

[2322]

If you're happy Brian, then I'm happy for you. I hope you have many years of great sex and personal happiness from your penis no matter what. That's really what's most important.

Still pulling stats out of the air I see? Can't we just be happy for this guy?

 

[Box_Man]

Hey Roberto...did you get soluble stitches? If its been two weeks you can always go back to the doctor and have him/her take them out.

Yes, men without penises usually have the most auxilerating orgasms.

BS!

Of course it matters.

I cant say the same, I don't remember, for the past few years now, ever ejaculating while not in some strange somersault position or such. I have to bring as much skin.

No, it certainly has an effect, i have no doubt.

And as studies have clearly proven, it does have a huge effect on masturbation and pleasure, and logically it would too .

As years go by (started when i was 17), your penis head feels more and more dry, you can't even wear any underwear, or walk around in your own house easily. I need underwear whick always touches my penis but yet doesn't rub against it.

unfortunately my schedule is packed, and I can't discuss this for very long, but please have a peak at my comments in this thread:http://www.lpsg.org/112526-vote-end-routine-infant-circumcision.html?highlight=ban+circumcision

Extremist metaphors get you nowhere.

I don't care to. This is not an argument about RIC. Never was. I was cut as an adult. So is the OP. Take your propaganda elsewhere ie the thread you linked.

Neither does ad-hominem.

It was a suggestion, not something bowing to your convienence, you could have a look, or you could ignore the post, simple really.

Again, this is no propaganda, and you have no argument to call it so, they are scientific studies done by prominent, to add to that i gave my own personal testiment too.

simply duh it does. cut off a foot and you will still be able to walk?


It is very real for me, and even though i am a hard baked objectivist, still being objective on this topic, while the truth is so clear and has such a great effect is difficult.

Male circumcision is a weapon in the sperm wars - life - 05 June 2008 - New Scientist

It's strikingly simiple, circumcision was designed and encouraged, over centuries to abate or remove sexual pleasure, and this is for either religious reasons or to control the young. On this, the studies and above all my own personal experience, i consider it the most dispicable to still be practiced in our day and time, and this is to say the least.

The penis is one of the largest factors, or possibly the very reason we live for, to ruin it, would certainly effect a persons life in a drastic way, be it noticable or not. ie many people don't realize what they never had, and although it has a very real effect, people don't seem t notice it, because it is difficult to recognise something that you've never had. ie. the people who were born blind .

 

[deleted15807]

The penis is one of the largest factors, or possibly the very reason we live for...........

Simply breathtaking. 6928 what is life like out there in Alpha Centauri? Is there a giant penis (uncut of course) in the sky you worship every morning? Does it shower you with life all day?

You've got a healthy attitude about the whole topic. Looking forward to seeing the before/after pics.

Darkbond, your rationalization is no more or less intelligent than my rationalization. You assume all cut guys are okay, which they are not. Also, gaining sensation from partial amputation--I realize the brain is the main sex organ, but this is more wishful thinking than rationalization.

As brianincny says, his sensation is now concentrated in a smaller area. I don't see why this would be a good thing. Especially as aging will naturally limit range of sensation. I have enough sensation to keep my dick hard, but don't really feel much until I get close to orgasm. Orgasm is in the brain, but the natural penis is a marvelously sensitive organ and naturally has a broad range of sensation. Circumcision sometimes turns it into an on/off orgasm switch.

Don't think that what I experience is what you experience, and I will have the same respect. Circumcision makes us all more different, the procedure being variable and healing being individual.
