since i wasn't allowed to vote on being cut i thought i would voice my opposition to that fatal day that i was snipped, i have made several attempts at restoration ( lots of web sites) but it is a long process but may try again in the fall. my choice would be no !

Jul 1, 2011[quote]I was done just before my 2nd birthday due to recurring infections. Had years of teasing in the showers at school, I was the only circ kid, and that had the effect of givin ne a real complex about myself. Now I'm over that, I love my cutness, wear it like a badge of manhood and am really happy to have it that way.[/quote] Your story is so true, I think, of a lot of UK kids who didnt go to public school. We were always a minority of one of two and the name calling was just wicked. Like you I love being cut now, and wouldnt want it any other way.RéagirRépondre - MEMembreAug 3, 2011
I got circumcised at 21. the operation itself was short but recovery painful. still, I'm glad I did it. Prior to circumcision, the shaft of my penis was super sensitive, and although I could peel my foreskin all the way back, I found it too sensitive to allow it to be exposed. Since circumcision, my shaft has become less sensitive and now its great

Aug 3, 2011I was circumcised at age 42, at my own request, for aesthetical reasons, and after many years of doubts (or cowardice?).
I'm very happy about it, and only regret I didn't have the guts (or was informed enough) to have it done many years before, but then I live in a culture where circumcision is very unusual, and generally viewed with suspicion.
P.S. Sorry to be a knowing-it-all pain in the ass, but guys: It's called CIRCUMCISED - it comes from latin and means "cut around", and has nothing to do with "size"! :-)RéagirRépondre - NW
Aug 29, 2011Hi Francis, you are right about the "club" aspect, it's nice to belong abd seeing other members. I def feel a link with other cut blokes I can see in the showers. In terms of the need for moisturising, no not am issue here - nice and smooth

Yes, I am glad I am circumcised.I was circumcised at my own request at 23 and made a revision at 33 (I'm 40 now). It was done primarely for cosmetic and and sexual reasons because I've always liked the nice, nude and fresh look of a complete nude penis as the circumcised penis are.

Jul 5, 2012I am glad that I was circumcized. To me, it is a neater look and I like that. According to medical professionals, circumsized men are less likely to contract diseases, and women tend to be more comfortable with a cut penis as opposed to one that is not. Although some say it diminishes sensitivity, I have not noticed that as I am very sensitive. All in all, I am very satisfied this way.

Oct 3, 2012Hi, exactly the same here cept I was two years old. Had years of being teased, told I was a freak and bullied by the kids in my year at school, affected me for a long time. And I was the first one to grow hair, another reason to be lisked on!! One day a new kid joined my class and was in the showers after PE. He was hairy and cut and HUGE compared to some of the other late starters, he looked at me in the shower, I looked at him and at the same time we knew we had a friend to help stave off the teasing and abuse that kids could be so horrid with.
We used to walk home together and tho we never touched eachother, we used to pee together and just enjoy the fact we were both cut and had found a friend the same.
Now I'm proud of my cut cock, happy to be the only one in a group. As for the sensitivity issue, I love the way it feels, wouldnt want it any more sensitive than it is now.
Love the way it looks and feels, I just love my cock!!

Neither glad nor sad.[/quote]I can say that I had a similar experience. Growing up I never saw anybody who was not circumcised. That included boy scouts and high school showers (Yes, back then, we did shower in high school). It was not until my sophomore year in college that I saw an exchange student from England who was not cut.RéagirRépondre

I wasn't given a choice either but I'm happy that I am circumcised. I've met many uncut guys while living in Europe who like to look of a cut cock/ Some, especially in Germany for some reason, have gone on to get cut and afterwards comment on how they wish they had done it earlier.
There will always be a debate on this. I can't comment on before and after because I was cut as a baby but I like being cut and don't hold a grudge like so many guys seem to hold nowadays. Their parents had it done because it was the norm at that time. Why hold your parents responsible for something so very common back then?RéagirRépondre - CU
Feb 19, 2013Both my older brother and myself are cut, but my younger brother is uncut. My mom said if she had the money at the time, he would have been done as well. We didn't grow up in a nudist home so i only vaguely remember seeing his on a couple of random occassions. With that being said, I'm fine with the way it looks and feels. I've often been curious to how having foreskin would look and feel on me, but not to the extent of doing any life changing procedures like restoration. I have a massive fascination with uncut guys. I think it is because as a whole, cut guys look pretty much the same. I'm cut and have a pretty good understanding as to how it all feels. Uncut guys differ in foreskin sizes which gives a different look and it's intriguing to me. Plus, I would love to experience the sensitivity level once or twice for comparison. I have MUCH respect for you guys that had your circumcision done of your own free will. As someone else said, (unless for medical reasons) I don't think I would have been brave enough to go through with it lol. Later guys-Wayne

Feb 19, 2013I too am not happy that I was circumcised. I have nothing against circumcision if it's done for medical reasons or at the request of theinformedADULT man to whom it's being done. That was not the case with me -- I was cut when I was 2 days old, so I was deprived of the enjoyment that a foreskin can allow. Given the choice, and assuming there would have been no medical issues with it, I would have opted to remaining intact.RéagirRépondre - KE
Feb 20, 2013Born and raised in the UK, I was circumcised at an early age for medical reasons. The only time the topic came up between two of my friends in first school when it turned out that one of my friends was also cut. I was fascinated that he knew the words that I did and had experienced the surgery too. No problem at middle or high school, people tended to look down as others changed or showered. It was noticed by a few people but not too much worry about it.At times I have wondered about what it would be like if I still had a foreskin but I'm fine with being cut. I wouldn't go through lengthy procedures as for me they wouldn't be worth it. I find that the internet is a great tool for body acceptance as long as you concentrate on the way people look and feel about it. I like to see a range of naturally uncut and cut to make me realise that it's just something that looks different between different people,Cons wise I did lay for a while with a cardboard box protecting it from the stitches touching and getting caught in fabrics. That was still a painful recovery time but once the stitches came out it became fine. I just expected that it's what I needed at the time and deal with the consequences. It was a while before I was using it for other than calls of nature because of my age but never had any problems linked to it. A couple of people that say it's unusual in the UK but that's deal-able.I still like to see and play with either cut or uncut penises (as long as they're clean).Keith

Feb 21, 2013[quote]I am glad I was circumcised, and have never regretted that the choice was made for me. An uncut penis doesn't look right to me, but that's probably just because of the culture and time in which I was brought up. I don't really have any logical arguments that one choice is better than another.[/quote]Count your blessings ... I too am circumcised, and happy with it ... and while it was definitely not part of your parent's decision to have you circumcised recent medical trials have proved, without a doubt, that circumcised men are less apt to get certain diseases and infections, among the worst, HIV/AIDS.RéagirRépondre - IM
Feb 21, 2013I think I would enjoy having a foreskin. I was about 4 or 5 when I was circumcised so it was not my choice.
RéagirRépondre - MEMembreFeb 22, 2013[quote]If circumcision supposedly reduces the risk of HIV infection, why does the United States have one of the highest HIV infection rates in the western world AND the highest circumcision rate in the western world? The facts refute the theory.[/quote]You raise an interesting point, I decided to check some facts. I take the view that HIV/AIDS is world wide and shouldn't be looked at in isolation.
Top 5 Countries highest number infected (million): South Africa (5.3), India (5.1), Nigeria (3.6), Zimbabwe (1.8), Tanzania (1.6)
Top 5 Countries highest percentage infected : Swaziland (26%), Botswana (23%), Lesotho (23%), Namibia (15%), Zimbabwe (15%)
The suggestion that the US has one of the highest circumcision rates in the world can be refuted by the fact that countries like Zimbabwe, India, Botswana, Swaziland, Namibia and Lesotho have less than 20% males circumcised, they appear in the top 5 list.
Researchers have found that circumcision lowers HIV risk in men, circumcision dramatically changes the bacterial communities of the penis, What does that mean? As i understand it, basically when circumcised, the penile bacterial ecosystem changes and is reputed to prevents HIV infection in men and protects their female partners from vaginal infections, especially bacterial vaginosis.
I guess you can find any information on the net to support any side of the discussion, the figures supplied here are from 2011 reports.
I am glad i am circumcised, but then again it is all a mater of preference. As long as you are comfortable and happy with what you have.RéagirRépondre - MEMembreFeb 23, 2013[quote]I said the US has one of the highest HIV infection rates in thewesternworld and the highest routine circumcision rate in thewesternworld. Let's compare Finland with the US. Finnish men are virtually all uncircumcised. Finland has an HIV infection rate of 0.05% of the population. In the US, the majority of men are circumcised. The US has an HIV infection rate of 0.43% of the population. That's quite a difference, and both are western, first world countries. [/quote]Your comparison is really at both ends of the spectrum. You're comparing Finland (pop 5.3M) with the USA (pop 315M) How about comparing like with like: Finland (pop 5.3M) - 0.05%Boznia/Hertz (pop 4.3M) - 0.01%, Croatia (pop 4.3M) - 0.02%, Czech Rep (pop 10.2M) - 0.02%, New Zealand (pop 4.1M) - 0.06%, Norway (pop 4.5M) - 0.09%. All countries are in theWesternworld and with similar population to Finland apart from Czech Rep.Source: http://hiv-stats.realclearworld.com/compare/56-83-85-103-105-118/New-Zealand-vs-Bosnia-and-Herzegovina-vs-Croatia-vs-Czech-Republic-vs-Finland-vs-Norway
Rather than selecting the whole of the US perhaps a comparison with a state with a similar population and ancestry like Minnesota (pop 5.3M) Ancestry (German, Nordic Countries, English, Irish, Czech) - HIV infection rate (0.08%)
Like I said data can be interpreted/presented to reflect any side of a discussion. As far as the issue of Circumcised preventing infection, I can only go by articles i have read, the underlying fact is that nothing has been proven conclusive.

@sixfeetfive:Thanks for your 2 cents - it's never too late to add. Glad to hear you're as satisfied with your circumcised state as I am, though you were done at birth and I in my middle-age! But our cultures differ a lot in that aspect, so it's not very strange. And I agree with you: It IS more aesthetically appealing to see an exposed penis-head than one hidden behind a trunk... ;-)

Oct 13, 2015I was born in the US in 1949 so like the majority of boys born then I was circumcised. I don't remember having a foreskin so I don't miss what I didn't know I had. All the other boys in my class except one were also cut so I wasn't teased. I like the look of being circumcised, but if I weren't I would probably like that look also. I don't know if I would have been more sensitive if I were uncircumcised, but I am very happy with how sensitive I am right now. I am not going to waste time worrying about anything on my body that could be different that what it is right now. I am pretty happy with things the way they are.
