ive heard it doesnt matter, unless the girl has a specific prefference for it.

I personnally like better uncircumsized because I like that it is the natural way... but I understand that it wasn't the guys choice as it would have been done (or not done) usually when he was a baby... I don't find the foreskin to cause any cleanliness problems... maybe just the first couple of times i performed oral sex on an uncircumsized guy i wasn't 100% sure how to handle the presence of the foreskin, so I asked what he preferred, and it was all good from there. Now my longterm bf is circumsized but he has agreed that if / when we have children if its a boy he wont be circumsized :P

I believe someone who is uncircumsized will chime in and tell us how much we're missing out. From a scientific standpoint, they're right. I guess it's one of those things that I'll never be able to experience, so I don't miss it.

> i read a study on male adults who got the procedure done and after they said they regretted it and they lost all sensitivity and couldnt feel ne thing.

This information does not hold true based upon known facts. The first fact is that the nerves in the Glans are much more responsive in an uncircumcised penis because they have essentially been protected from the elements for years. For those of us who were circumcised as infants we have had a lifetime of contact with underclothes and then pubic hair that over time has rubbed and desensitized the nerves. So, as great as sex is for us, it does not compare to the intense sensations our uncut brotheren experience.

Now for an adult to undergo the procedure for medical or other reasons, it probably will take some time before he can tolerate much touching or rubbing of the Glans. It all depends upon just how sensitive he is overall.

> so i think u get wut ur born with and u should stick with it

I'm not sure I understand. As infants we are at the mercy of our parents decision based upon religious, moral, or traditional values and teachings. We are all born with a foreskin so how do you propose we stick with it when just days old??

> butt is there like different oral sex techniques for uncircumcised and can i know wut they are so i can tell my gf.

For all practical purposes, no. You do have the option of experiencing oral stimulation indirectly with the foreskin forward as well as retracted, in which case it is no different than if you were cut. Some "natural" guys enjoy direct contact while others cannot stand to have the Glans touched directly. You will have to experienent. In so doing you will probably find that you have likes and dislikes for particular types of oral play that your partner provides. In this we are all the same.

> and does it feel different durin sex for the girl and the guy?

Apparantly, you have not read any of the recent threads because we've discussed the matter of vaginal sensitivity over the past few days. Basically, the vaginal barrel does not have nerves that discern fine detail; therefore most women report that what they enjoy is a sense of fullness that having the penis in the vagina provides. As for a guy's ability to make a comparison, I imagine the only ones who know are those men who have been circumcised as adults and have had experience in both realms.

well as far as i understand, the main difference had to do with the handling of the actual foreskin during oral sex... like to actually move it with my hand or not... my guy at the time said to move it lightly was cool, but when he was really hard it kind of retracted anyway... u can tell her to move the foreskin the way you like to do it when you're mastubarting, well you dont have to say it like that, thats up to you, lol...
..i personnaly do not remember a difference in feeling from having sex with a guy with a foreskin... but it has been over a year so i dont have a 100% accurate rememberance of the feeling... i think the difference with that guy had more to do with his really big girth than anything else :P but thats a whole other story.....

hey thanks doc for addressing the study thing, it sounded kind of out of place what was said about losing all sensitivity, perhaps a misunderstanding on behalf of the reader or a misquote of an actual study (there's probabably a one in a million chance of loss of sensitivity as a bad side effect of adult circumsicion or something), but i just didnt address it in my post because i really dont know much about that... another good post by the doc :)
Yes, all hail the sense of fullness ... :P

I'm uncircumsized and engaged in sex over a year ago (I'm a late boomer). Honestly, when I was a child I never did the exercises that my doctor instructed, so when I hit puberty, retraction of the foreskin was uncomfortable and in some cases, painful (I have a relatively long foreskin--it engulfs the entire penis when unerect). When I engaged in sex with my gf who was also a virgin, I would put the condom completely over the foreskin, allowing it to not retract. Obviously, I couldn't feel a thing from sex. After many sessions, the foreskin eventually broke loose (also I was doing the exercises my doctor instructed years back) and it would retract all the way except for one "bridge" of skin. The doctors wanted to do a procedure to remove the tiny "bridge" of skin so that the penis could retract fully, and I agreed. However, before getting to the doctors office (maybe 2 weeks prior), it broke on it's own during a session, and I didn't even notice it happening.

Now, my g/f and I still engage, and honestly, I am so sensative when receiving head, that sometimes I cannot stand it. Also, we are on a alternative method to condoms, so the feeling is AWESOME. I've always thought a circumsized penis would please a woman more, but after having experienced it for myself, I can say that I will never, EVER have that procedure done. She loves that I love the feeling so much, and it turns her on even more. Our sex life is better than ever (I believe my "bridge" broke in August 05) and it keeps getting better with new things that we are both learning.

My advice to anyone about circumsizing your penis if you weren't as a baby, don't do it!

I've said in here before in a previous thread...after my circumcision(done just after birth) it musta HURT LIKE HECK because I couldn't WALK for about a year!! :) :)

I've only been close with one man (my boyfriend) and I will only ever be with him, so I don't have a preference really. My BF feels everythign I do to him and loves it, so we're both happy. Actually, I'm pretty certai that I honestly don't know what an uncircumcised penis looks like, so to me...circumsized is the norm (Sorry, I've spelled it wrong in here).

I've only seen one uncircumcised, and it was only slightly less ugly and raw looking than the circumcised variety. It didn't make any difference sexually one way or the other. However, the owner was adamant that if he ever had a son the child would NEVER be circumcised because of reputed numbing.

There are worse things. The rite of subincision among certain Australian Aborigines, for example. Or clitoridectomy among some African/Islamic peoples.

Hi guys,

Thought i'd drop in some first hand experience regarding circumcision in adults because I had one done eight days ago :) For me it was essential, the foreskin was really tight, as was the frenulum, and every time penetration got too fierce/too fast it'd cause me pain.

The procedure's alot more complicated in adults than in babies. I had to have a general anaesthetic so I was out cold for the whole op. It bleeds like hell afterwards but as for pain it's more uncomfortable than anything. As has been said before the glans is extremely sensitive and it takes a while for that to go away (mine's still pretty sensitive now). Basically the glans, when exposed to the air, develops a thin layer of skin over the top of it to 'desensitise it'. The only way I can think to describe it is this - the 'front' of the penis, i.e. where the 'eye' is, is quite desensitied in me, and always has been because it's been exposed to the air through the opening at the front of the foreskin. The rest is sensitive because it's hidden under the foreskin, but over time it will become like the part at the front.

Hmm, i'm just trying to think of anything else worth mentioning about the op. Like I said there's generally alot of bleeding and bruising, and I was walking bowlegged for the first few days. The past 4 or 5 days it's been OK but still quite sensitive/uncomfortable. Erections are also unfomfortable at the moment because it puts pressure on the stitches around the base of the glans.

The urologist that did it tells me that full recovery takes from 10 days to two weeks. My stitches are dissolvable (thank God!). No sex is frustrating as all hell because everything becomes a turn on when you can do nothing! Oh, and the urologist also tells me that every adult male he's ever performed the procedure on have been grateful in the long run (i.e. after the few weeks it takes to recover)

That's about all I can think of off the top of my head. But if anyone has any other questions let me know.

Of course, chances are, he only performs the procedure when being uncircumcised causes health problems for the guy and there's significant benefit to be had through circumcision.

Me, I have lots of very loose foreskin, my non-erect penis looks a lot like [URL=http://www.foreskin.org/46-33-25.jpg]this one but with even a little more on the end. I wish I could give detailed info on what it's like, but I'm really not that sexually experienced. My ex told me she was really glad that I'm uncircumcised, and I got the impression that she thought I had a rare 'genuine article.'

Other women have also asked me what it's like when I pee and whether or not the frenulum is accessible for licking during oral. My ex was only experienced with circumcised guys before me, so I had to spend a while teaching her how to handle me and helping her learn to be gentle enough, because normal touches are just painful for me. In all honesty, I thought it was really enjoyable to teach her and answer her questions and to see her learn.

Yes moose_hd you are right, the procedure is done for medical reasons (given the cost involved I can't imagine why anyone would have it done if it weren't necessary lol). My glans was the same as yours, very sensitive, almost painful to simple touch without a little lubricant. It was actually so sensitive that penetration would often cause pain as much as pleasure. Plus the foreskin was so tight that when I rolled it back it would constrict the head so it would swell up with blood that couldn't escape. That and the frenulum was really tight. All of this didn't stop me and my girlfriend from trying anyway hehe :) When I got around to seeing the urologist he told me there were already signs of frenulum scarring, and that the more the frenulum gets torn, the tighter it gets (I though it would have been the opposite but apparently not!)
