Question:

I was thinkng about getting circumcised? Help please.?

Ok. I'm 20 years old and my parents never got me circumcised when I was a baby. I was thinking about going to have it done. Has anyone had it done, around my age or older, and if so whats it like and what do you go thru. I was wondering about the effects you feel afterward. You know with it gone and how masterbation is and what the price of having it done. Before and after pictures and the pros and cons of having and not having. Thank you.

You can tell me here or email me.

Answers:

Before you have it done, make sure you read up on the risks of circumcision. I know two personal friends who had it done, one did it for looks and now regrets it, while the other did it for medical reasons and likes it. Just remember you can't go back if you don't end up liking it.

Here are the risks.

Circumcision was actually promoted in the USA at first to stop masturbation (in hopes of it being tight enough to require lubes and not have skin to slide since the foreskin is already moist)

You can stack those up against the reasons you have to go through it.
