Men that have been circumcised ?!


Question: Men that have been circumcised ?
Please tell me your experience if you were between the ages of 20-30. Don't post info telling me why not to get it. Just tell me how yours went, and maybe tell me why you decided to.

Answers:

Well, I was circumcised when I was 17 years old but I thought I would answer your question anyways. The procedure itself is not THAT bad. It really depends on your ability to tolerate pain. For the actual circumcision, I was under general anesthesia, so I was "knocked out" for the actual procedure.

The pain for me started during the healing process. The first 3 days were rough, I took pain killers since the pain made it difficult to sleep at night, so I needed them for sleep and sometimes I took them during the day when I felt too much pain. But after the first 3 days, it was okay. After two weeks I was permanently back in school and after about a month I was pretty functional in all ways.

I decided to do it for some truly stupid reasons, due to my age and lack of knowledge and sexual experience. I was raised in midwest America during a time when circumcision rates were enormously high. And growing up, I was told by friends/girls that it was weird/gross to not be circumcised. I really thought I was the ONLY one in the world that wasn't circumcised since all my friends were cut. This was brought to my attention around age 10, and the internet wasn't available to the general public then so I had no way of learning more about it. And my parents were not very good at communicating to me, and even though I had come to them on 3 separate occasions from age 11 to 17 to be circumcised, they just said "NO" but didn't have a valid explanation other than it is "unnecessary." Now from my perspective, I needed more justification to not get circumcised other than it is "unnecessary" and honestly, my parents couldn't think of any other reason other than complications from the surgery/anesthesia. And complications are extremely rare. So ultimately they felt they had a weak argument and felt my insecurity was reason enough to get circumcised. They finally caved when I was 16, and I got circumcised when I had just turned 17. I even had a girlfriend prior to getting circumcised and she said she didn't care if I did get cut or not, but I still wanted to do it because I had become so insecure about it. I had even seen one guy at my high school get made fun of for being intact (uncut). So I was pretty insecure.

Now, about a decade later, it seriously was a horrible decision for me and has messed me up sexually ( I was very sexual prior to it, despite my insecurity, masturbation and sexual activity just felt great). Sexual activity is not even that fun to me anymore. And I realized this within one year of being cut. But it took me about 8 years to come to terms with it because I was in denial. My reaction may be more extreme than others, but I hate being circed. I think a lot of men are afraid to talk about circumcision being bad because of the emotions involved. Men that get done for medical reasons don't really have an idea of how a healthy fully-functional uncircumcised penis is supposed to feel, so I don't really value their opinions on it 100 percent. Men that get done for non-medical reasons do have more vailidity since their penis worked great before getting circed, and I am one of those guys.

And what's funny, is I did it all for nothing. Girls don't even care if you're cut or not. They just want it to work. And I since I'm not as sexual after getting circed, I haven't been with many women due to problems performing due to lack of sensitivity. And I could have been with TONS of women since I'm actually a decent looking guy, and girls tend to like me. I've considered foreskin restoration, viagra, sex therapy, etc.

If a man gets circumcised as an adult, and has a great experience, I'm all for that. I really just want people to be happy. But considering all the real men that have had negative experiences (I have yet to meet a real man that has had a positive experience being cut as an adult), it would be best to avoid getting cut. When I say "real men," I mean people that just aren't on the net or yahoo answers. Go out and talk to people that have experience with this subject, and have been circumcised as an adult for more than just a year or two. I believe you will find more accurate information that way.

Even "mitchy" has one answer saying he was circumcised when he was very young, even though he just said he recently got circumcised. So he may just be speaking a ton of BS. Check out the link below to see for yourself. I don't know why he would have two stories about his circumcision.

I know you said that you didn't want anyone to tell you not to get it. I just got sidetracked, since I feel that if there was a reason for me to have had to go through this procedure, it was simply to let others know that it is not a good procedure and can negatively impact your quality of life.

MY life experience



I had to be circumcised when I was 16 years old purely for medical reasons as the other treatments my doctor had tried were useless. I am now 19 years old and very pleased with the outcome.
Everything went very smoothly for me and had no problems during the healing process which took about 6 weeks before I was able to have sex again.
I hope this answers your question. Please feel free to email me if you would like more information

Personal experience.



I had myself circumcised 3 weeks ago and it was done as my own choice. The operation took just 35 minutes and was not painful in any way. I am still healing but everything is going really well, but it will be a couple of weeks yet before I resume sexual activities with my partner.
I have wanted to be circumcised for some time now as I believe the many benefits far outweigh the so called negative side of circumcision at any age. I am 21 years of age and wish I had got myself done when I was younger; still, better late han never is how I personally feel.

Me and my recent circumcision.



Although I am only 18 years old I thought I would answer your question.
I was circumcised last fall to cure my tight foreskin. It had been causing problems for about 2 years before I had to be cut. Certainly the best treatment for my condition and I am happy that it was done. It wasn't painful after my operation which was done under local anaesthetic. I was sore for a couple of days after surgery but it soon healed well and is now in perfect working order at last. Sex is so much better now and I can control when and how I orgasm much easier than before I was circumcised

Personal experiences. Circumcised last fall and loving it!



I restored when I was 17. I was circumcised at birth.
The exsperience of going backwards was great. I more than doubled my sensitivity. Orgasms are much longer and way more intense. Orgasms are easier to control. Sex feels a million times better. I never need lube for masturbation anymore.

I won't ever go back, sorry but circumcision takes all the fun out of sex.

Looks like circumcision won this one!
