Is being uncircumcised bad or unappealing? Long details*?!


Question: Is being uncircumcised bad or unappealing? Long details*?
I've always felt that something was wrong with me. I've always felt different. I've read everything there is to circumcision and uncircumcision. But being uncircumcised, left me feeling insecure for years. I know about the whole increased pleasure thing and I know that you have to clean it more. But recently, my girlfriend and I discussed sex. We're really wanting to have sex. So I just played along and said yeah. But I was really nervous. The thing that made me nervous was that I'm part of the minority. America apparently has a lot more circumcised males than uncircumcised. After awhile, I just got tired of being stressed and just told my girlfriend that I was insecure with myself because I'm uncircumcised. She said it's just something she's not used to. Then she went on to say she likes abnormal, and that she doesn't care if I'm circumcised or not. She said that I feel more pleasure so I shouldn't be worried and that nothings changed. As much as I want to believe her, I feel that she's disappointed. I just want to feel.. Like I'm not a freak.. I don't know what to think.

Answers:

Honestly, in my opinion, circumcision shouldn't really matter. If a girl is going to be that freaked out about an uncut penis, then I really don't think she's the right girl for you. Circumcision is just something that shows you as extremely Americanized, being cut isn't very popular in any other country such as those in Europe and although it DOES provide health benefits and IS a LITTLE bit more appealing, it shouldn't be that big of a deal to worry yourself this much over.
Remember that being uncircumcised is natural and if anything, those who are cut.. are more of a "freak" than you.
My fiance of 4 years is uncut and I love it just as much although I really don't have much preference, hope this helped.



Your in a growing majority, less than 30% are getting it done now. It's unneccesary and makes your dick require viagra to get past half-mast.



Having a compete body is great thing. Reportedly sex is better for the women (1). Be proud that you have a complete body. You may feel worse if you had a botched circumcision, as many are(2). Social constructs are stupid and arbitrary, individualism and non conformity are good virtues to have. Thank your parents who have spared you from the unnecessary trauma of circumcision, otherwise you may have worse problems then a trivial fear of conformity. If a women really likes you she will not care weather or not your penis is surgically altered.

Further more there are no benefits, not a single medical organization in the world find any health claims convincing enough to recommend infant circumcision. The intact penis is naturally clean and maintains a level of hygiene that is optimal over a penis that has been surgically altered for non-therapeutic reasons.

One of the foreskin's functions is to facilitate smooth, gentle, and slow movement between two partners during intercourse. The foreskin enables the penis to slip in and out of the vagina non-abrasively inside its own slick sheath of self lubricating movable skin. The female is thus stimulated by moving pressure rather than by friction only, as when the males foreskin is missing.
The foreskin fosters intimacy between two partners by enveloping the glands and maintaining it as an internal organ.

There is a large body of empirical scientific literature that conclusively demonstrates the foreskins crucial set of functions, among which include sensory, protective, immunological, and sexual. The anatomical and physiological facts of the foreskin been proven. The foreskin is a double fold of skin that is twice as big as its appearance, it can make up to 80% or more of the penile skin covering, or about 12-20 square inches of skin, that’s like a 3x4 or a 4x5 index card!(42,44) One of the functions of this mobile skin system is to glide up and down the shaft of the penis in order to facilitate non abrasive stimulation during sexual activity without any need for artificial lubricant, this mechanism is the principal source of stimulation for the intact penis.

The neuro-anatomy of the penis has been rigorously documented by respected anatomists of all kinds. The component tissues that comprise the foreskin are richly innervated with the greatest quantity and variety of sensory nerve endings over any other part of the penis.(43,44,45,46,47,48,49,50,51) Many are surprised to discover that the glans or “head” of the penis is actually the least sensitive part.(44,50,51)

To no surprise, this information was corroborated in a 2006 study that physically measured the sensitivity of all the parts of the penis. They used a very accurate pressure sensing probe while the test subject, whose view was blocked with a screen, reported a sensation of touch. To demonstrate precision they took each measurement multiple times. The results were statistically consistent. They concluded:

"Five locations on the uncircumcised penis that are routinely removed at circumcision were more sensitive than the most sensitive location on the circumcised penis[...] The glans in the circumcised male is less sensitive to fine-touch pressure than the glans of the uncircumcised male[...]The most sensitive location on the circumcised penis is the circumcision scar on the ventral surface [...] ."(51)

Personally I don't like uncircumcised parts.
Just get uncircumcised if you're so concerned
