Are you circumcised?

2 stroke · 29-05-2009 12:11am

Years ago Doctors and health nurse said I needed circumcision, thank God my parents decided to leave it untill I was older. I'm still intact, stretching excercises is all that is needed. If I neglect the excercises it can tighten again but I'm holding on to it.

I reckon thats the line for me. Barring the obvious, the need to consciously remember to stretch my foreskin would be enough for me to part with my hoody...too much effort!

No way in hell I would go through that without total unconsiousness through industrial strength anaesthetic.

Got it done when I was younger. Went to the doctor with a sore throat. Then he decided to check all over. Poped down me underwear. Rubbing around and all. He checked and found the skin couldn't go over the head. I didn't get an erection. Checked my other side for piles too. I was grnd there. Poped up the underwear again.

Had the operation 2 weeks later.

hold on a second, you went to a doctor with a sore throat...and he decides to check "down below"......sounds a bit odd

As Maude Lebowski once said about a doctor: "He's a good man..... and thorough."

What are these "medical reasons" people talk about ?
Has it something to do with not being able to fully retract the foreskin ? Is the cause of this due to not retracting it before hitting puberity or is that irrelevant ?

Could well be. Also things can get caught up there.

Actually, according to this : http://www.cirp.org/library/treatment/phimosis/beauge2/
there seems to be a link between phimosis and masturbatory practises.

"they roll the penis between two palms or between one hand and another surface such as the abdomen, the thigh, a table, the edge of a chair or the toilet".

The toilet!!

Is it any wonder people get diseases.

I always thought it was odd to be circumsized and not a lot had it done.... od eh?

Had it done at 22 for medical reasons phimosis. Can say it's much better now one year on. Brother had it done at around same age so must be hereditory.
