Thinkin of gettin circumsized at 19

[Nelly Gay]

Despite the major problems with my 1990 circumcision I TOO have no regrets about the surgery as I prefer the look of a circumcised penis...
Three operations later and my penis does not look perfect but the glans is now fully exposed and a pleasing mushroom shape.
As regards, body dismorphia some might question the men on this site (who all have very admirable dongs) who go to extraordinary lengths to stretch the truth !

 

[Rude_God]

I have to say, I really don't miss my frenulum at all. Sex is no less pleasurable whatsoever, in fact it is better because its less painful.

Despite my fairly radical circumcision my surgeon retained my frenulum saying it was the most sensitive part of the penis .....

 

[MDC]

There's a big difference between someone getting circumcised to help alleviate a problem, and someone getting circumcised just to be circumcised.

We have both here, and both may be happy with the result. That they did get to choose for themselves, is the main thing to remember. I hope they don't get their kids circ'd just because they are happy.

 

[ggogeta]

Yeah better keep it and remove it later, if that's what the kid want. Can't reverse a circumcision though...

 

[Nelly Gay]

Oddly enough, surgeons can reverse circumcisions surgically with skin grafts from the scrotal sack (which tend to be hairy) or with skin grafts from the hips (which are a different colour and texture to the skin of the genitals....
Not so much skin graft as skin patches.
The effect can be a bit Frankenpenis but some people are happy with the results....
Costly at £6,500+.

Ive not read all the replies so i might be repeating something here. Im 24 and i always had a tight foreskin. I couldnt pull it back at all. I could take a piss comfortably, that was painless. I could have sex without experiencing any pain or soreness but it wasnt as pleasurable as i would have liked it to be. I just couldnt get much sensation and using condoms decreased sensation even more. I didnt really want circumscision so i looked into stretching. Now that hurt. I didnt use any steroid ointment or anything and i think that stretching with or without steroids only really works if you can pull your foreskin back partway, but if your foreskin is really tight as mine was, then i think an operation is best. Maybe stretching with steroid creams would help if its really tight, but i dont really know.
I then looked into circumcision, i really wanted to keep my foreskin though. I found out about partial circumcision. Here they would only cut the tight part of the skin and leave the rest so you could pull it back. I contacted a urologist and luckily he was all for keeping as much foreskin as possible. I had this procedure done 3 weeks ago. It was done under local anaesthetic, so i was fully awake throughout the operation. They placed a sheet vertically at chest level so i could not see them operating. They injected my dick with the anaesthetic, the injections were painful but nothing that you cant tolerate easily and they were only momentarily. After that they started to operate. I could not feel a thing. I didnt even realise they had started operating!! Prior to the op they said they would cut my frenulum as it would be quite small, seeing as i had never retracted my foreskin
The whole procedure took about 30 minutes. They put me in a room for about 2 hours after the operation to have a nap. I could feel some slight burning sensation but again it was easily tolerated and nothing you need to worry about. After that i went home and didnt experience any pain. I took the dressing off the next day. My dick was swollen and looked really ugly. The swelling went down after 10 days and the stitches dissolved after about 2 weeks. There has been some bleeding which was inconvenient. Also the glans was really sensitive as it had never been exposed, so when it brushed against clothing it was uncomfortable but it was desensitised somewhat after 2 or 3 days and is no problem now. Its another 3 weeks to go before i can have sex and im looking forward to it.

surgeons can reverse circumcisions surgically. . . Frankenpenis

The surgery result is always grossly inferior to restoration with tissue expansion, which is grossly inferior to being intact.

Your glans will be exquisitely sensitive for some time and you will be very swollen too... Have you had your stitches removed yet as even the "soluble ones" tend to stay put.
You can usually manage a gentle ejaculation in a week or 10 days.
Some surgeons prefer general anesthetics however as otherwise erections can be a problem!

Did they discuss a dorsal slit?

You don't need to remove anything to alleviate phimosis.

My glans was really sensitive for 3 or 4 days and when it rubbed against clothing it was uncomfortable but its fine now. I had dissolvable stitches and i checked thouroughly, they seem to have gone. Ejaculation and erection are fine.

A dorsal slit was not discussed, however i did research it over the internet previously. I saw some pictures and in the end i decided to go for the partial circumcision. I really didnt want the full circ and i wanted to have things as close to natural as possible.

When is the great unveiling ceremony ?
How much was your circ. as the usual cost is £1,000+ ....

I can already retract my foreskin easily, its been about 3 weeks since the op.
I looked in to having it done in england, the cheapest i could find was 750 to 1000 pounds. As i live in czech republic now i decided to see if i could find an english speaking doctor here. I found one and the total cost was about 75 pounds.

Perhaps Czechoslovakia will become the circumcision capital of the world with prices like that ....
The equivalent surgery alone in the UK would cost at least £1,000 not to mention the cost of a general !
Penises are obviously big business .

 

[Rude_God]

Would it? I thought you could get it done for free on the NHS.

 

[Nelly Gay]

Would it? I thought you could get it done for free on the NHS.

The NHS is in such chaos (espescially the London hospitals) that most people opt for treatment privately at a cost of £1,000.
In theory you ought to be able to be circumcised for "medical reasons" on the NHS but the reality is very different !

 

[JasonJason]

DONT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would kill to have my foreskin. My parents had me mutilated as a child and no matter how hard I try, any skin over my glans will never be a true foreskin. Why would you want to cut yourself? I believe that it would be a HUGE mistake.

 

[dfurs660]

So what if it's not a "true" foreskin?

It's a foreskin. It's 90% true to what it really is. Unless you don't have any inner skin, the difference is hardly there at all.

It hurts so much to be cut, I know... but restoring is the greatest choice you can make.

Have someone strap you to a board and circumcise you against your will and let us know.

oh this kind of hurt... All my life I was willing to ge tcut, because the gland was SO sentitive it hurts. That+ my frenelum barely lets me rertact my foreskin...

But now I Think I might just stretch that frenelum a bit and try to figure out how I can desentisize the gland a bit....

 

[MDC]

ggogeta,
I'm thinking that the tight frenulum is the root of your problems with excess sensitivity.

Good luck stretching. If it comes to surgery, I would suggest getting the frenulum modified rather than a full circumcision.

 

[Rude_God]

I would definitely try stretching rather than surgery. And I stick by what I mentioned previously about when I tore mine - my sex life has been better and far less painful ever since it happened. I think the word 'tore' just scares some people. It was a seemingly natural enough thing that I think needed to happen to me, analogous to a broken hymen maybe? I would only consider surgery as a last option when all else is failed - until then I would just hope for some kind of natural occurence to solve the problem.

75% of the male population are cicumcised whether American, Antipodean, African, Arabic, et al and most men are happy with their status.
I cannot understand the hysteria about the operation ...
Some men who have restored their foreskins satisfactorilly have then gone on to be re-circumcised as they grew unhappy with the new prepuces?
Try and save your fraenulum as that is full of sensitive nerve ending .

yeah sure thing, I wanna keep it, but it's tight which is frustrating. But my gland is really but really ( if I touch it it hurts ) sensitive... I think it prevents me from having orgasms, as 1) I have to use condoms (girl think It's nice that I insist on it ) end even with that I will last numerous hours, bu no orgasms, as it will kinda hurt sometimes... Weird.

Yes but the majority of these men will have been cut at birth so they no no different,they have no idea what it feels like to be intact,a point i have made a few times is if you watch adult entertainment films and look at how aggressively these blokes have to rub the head to bring themselves off shows just how much sensitivity they must of lost.

Right on man. that sucks :blowjob:

Shit it, I'm on the complete other side, I'm wayyy too much sensitive on this part.

 

[Rude_God]

Just keep stretching - it might hurt, but do it gently at first, then as you get more used to it, add more tension, and hopefully in time it will get looser and less painful. Then if you can, try sex without a condom once you're a bit more used to it, and then hopefully over time it will loosen up.

I need to re-stress that what happened to me wasn't it tearing and ripping completely apart, more like a very slight rupture. There was some blood, but like I said it healed up within the same day, and now its less painful, and no less sensitive with respect to pleasure. I think it was just one of those things that needed to happen, it may well be the same for you. Just use your penis as you desire, and it should adapt to the stresses and strains you put on it. I've no doubt you'll be able to sort this problem out since you've made great gains which suggests you have a very adaptive organ there.

 

[edozal]

I got it done at 23, and I've regreted ever since. I am now 41 and trying to restore my foreskin. Doctors don't tell the whole story. Keep trying steroid creams. If you want to loose about 50% of sensitivity during sex, if you want to loose firm erections, (they cut veins in your penis also during circumcision), then circumcision is the way to go. Don't do it if you want to have a normal sex life.

 

[RonJLow]

I think you know that's wrong. About 20% of men are cut.

most men are happy with their status.

I'll give you that.

Some men who have restored their foreskins satisfactorilly have then gone on to be re-circumcised as they grew unhappy with the new prepuces?

That would be a vanishingly small number.

You should be able to get cut by the NHS for medical reasons

In Sweden, a study revealed that only 1 in 10,000 has a medical condition that circumcision would help.

If you have a very bulbous glans and a too tight foreskin that can cause problems when the prepuce refuses to retract when aroused and the glans keeps swelling (paraphomosis) meaning a trip to casualty...
Best to see a specialist before that happens!
Usually men with overly-sensitive glans penises ejaculate quickly with minimal stimulation ?
Can you ejaculate when you masturbate ?
Some foreskins are "Ugly" too.

I still maintain that the largest percentage of men are circumcised whether for religious or cosmetic reasons be they Jewish, Arabic, Turkish, American or British. Older men (over 40) are more likely to be cut as are men from "hot climates".
Norway, Sweden, etc are cold countries and circumcision is rare.
I personally, am surprised just how many men (in London at least) are circumcised ...
20% of the population would be remarkably low .
Some nationalities (the Greeks) treasure their long prepuces !
The longer the better.

 

[Nelly Gay]

well, I didn't have time to sit here and read through all of the replies to this topic...I'll do that a bit later...so forgive me if I mention something that someone else already has.

I am 19 years old (turned 19 in July of 2005) and I got my circ done in October. It's something I have always wanted done...and the only reason I didn't have it done when I was a child was because my mother didn't think it was necessary...I just found it odd because every male in my family has been circumsized...and yet I was not...but whatever!

I had the surgery (it was elective since I had no medical problems that forced me to have the procedure done) in the morning..the surgery took about 30 or 40 minutes...I had general anesthetic...so I was completely out...I woke up in the recovery room...sat in the bed for about 5 minutes waiting to fully wake up...had some water...the nurse wheeled my bed to the bathroom so I could get dressed, and I put my pants on, my shirt, laced my boots (22 eyelets, mind you!) and I didn't feel a thing...no discomfort at all.

I had a pain killer perscription filled and only took 1 pill during my entire recovery period of about a month. There was never any pain whatsoever...I only took the one pill on the first day I was actually going to be up walking around for long distances...just as a precaution...but I didn't even need it. The only thing that caused little discomfort were the middle of the night erections which kind of pulled at the stitches and woke me up...but it didn't "hurt"...

So, basically, it all boils down to your pain tolerence...but I do not regret having it done at all...you DON'T lose all of the feeling...hell, it's been 5 months since my op and my glans is still sensitive! So, if you really want to go for it...do it! You wont regret it. I got it done because I wanted it...not for any other reason.

If there's still anything you want to know...just drop me a line and I'll answer your questions. Take care.

It's so sensitive it HURTS. But with foreskin on, it's heaven
