Im 12 and i want my foreskin removed but dont know how to tell my mum?!


Question: I, like you, wanted to get circumcised at your age. However, coming from Europe, my parents thought that circumcision was a silly Jewish thing and being overall anti-religious, they always ridiculed circumcision. So I never approached them on it but in retrospect wish I had.

A lot of parents choose not to circumcise their sons because they think it's a decision that the son should be allowed to make on their own. Obviously you have.

Approaching your parents about this subject is awkward but they might very well approve of circumcision and you should talk to them about it. I would simply ask whoever you feel most comfortable with: "Why did you not circumcise me at birth?" They'll probably tell you that they did it for you and that it's a decision that you have to make. I would reply that I wished they had and would like to get circumcised. If they ask you why I would simply tell the truth about how you feel (don't like the way it looks, everyone else is circumcised, etc.). At this point the subject is out in the open and I would just be persistent.

I hated growing up uncircumcised. It smelled bad, got dirty, and just looked silly. I felt very uncomfortable among other circumcised guys in the locker room. Part of me wanted to look like them and fit in but most of all I agreed with them that an uncircumcised penis looked gross. I ended up not going to gym class anymore and avoided all sports activities. Needless to say I ended getting fat and lost a lot of self respect. Soon after High School I got circumcised anyways and I was glad I did only wishing I had done it at your age.

A lot of people told me that I would lose a lot of sensitivity but I did not experience any of that. It's simply different. The only real difference is that it's cleaner and the way it looks. In the end it's about what makes you most comfortable and proud of who you are.

write her a note

i hope you don't mean all of it ,
and getting cut at 12 would be painful and sore for a long time ,

but if you must just explain the situation to her , it might be better to talk to your father instead ,

ya know man talk

do you have any idea how bad that will hurt???? unless you are having health problems from it, you should stay as is. some women like the turtleneck look :)

Honestly ask yourself dude if it's worth it. It would hurt alot and there would be alot of pain afterwards. Not to scare you but thats how it is. Alot of guys have it though. Its nothing to be embarrassed about.

Why would you want to? It is so fun being uncircumsized!

just keep it man if you do cut it then you'll be hurting for a while. trust me also doctors say its better to have it for some reasons.

You do not need to remove your foreskin unless you do have a problem during intercourse, it is natural to have it.Talk to your doctor and just tell to your mum.

Wow dude why do u want to get it removed. id give anything 2 have mine back. mine was cut off when i was born but i heard it feels much better to have it on. like to be able to move it up and down when u masturbate or even with intercurse. my friend still has his skin an i think its so cool. i think u shuold keep it.

write her a note and put it where she will find it while your at school or something.she will understand.good luck!

Don't do it. You lose a lot of nerves and it's not as much fun to masturbate with, plus there are plenty of intact guys around like you nowadays. I hate being circumcised ever since I saw how a mate masturbated when I was about your age.
Adult males lose 15 square inches (40 square centimetres) of skin in circumcision, over half the skin of your penis. You lose the gliding action as it slides on itself during masturbation and sex. You will suffer bruising, perhaps some bleeding, and the swelling from the disruption to the lymph system goes on for up to six months. Removing the foreskin turns the surface of the glans from an inner mucosal membrane to outside skin. Newly circumcised adults usually go through some weeks of intense discomfort as the glans is constantly exposed to rubbing on clothing, until it develops a thicker keratin layer and becomes less sensitive. You must abstain from ALL sexual activity for an average of six weeks. Some men like the final result but others complain of loss of sensation and miss being able to slide their foreskin over the glans. Circumcised guys often have little or no movable skin left and are forced to masturbate using lube or rubbing dry, without the loose skin. There is no going back if you don
