Are you circumcised?

brianthebard · 27-09-2008 5:50pm #1

Just thought it might be interesting to see if its common. (and as a by product if guys will talk about it). I'm not. There have been a good few threads about it in PI in the past though. If you are when was it done? Did you have a choice?

Edit: don't forget there's an anonymous option here if you might like to share your story but don't want to tell people about your penis.

Ruu_Old · 27-09-2008 5:55pm

Nope, no need.

JIZZLORD · 27-09-2008 5:58pm

nope

Zaph · 27-09-2008 5:58pm

entropi · 27-09-2008 9:43pm

Nope

brianthebard · 27-09-2008 9:49pm

Interesting polling so far, not many circumcised. Do the lads who think they might need to be want to talk about it? There are some who have been circumcised, as we can see from the poll, and don't forget you can use the anonymous option if you are a bit embarassed (although there's no need to be).

Nope every thing is intact. I hope!

Tar.Aldarion · 27-09-2008 9:57pm

No, nor would I.

Holsten · 27-09-2008 9:59pm

Nope I'm not.

I'd never have it done unless there was something seriously wrong, neither will my sons.

I actually know a lot of people who are, all medical reasons.

Close call with a blender puts things into perspective, huh?

:pac:

No here.

Red Hand · 27-09-2008 10:03pm

Yes, I kept the foreskin, cured it as you usually cure leather, and turned it into a poncho for my hamster.

Actually, no, I'm not circumcised.

No, and hopefully will never need to be.

LegacyUser · 28-09-2008 11:42pm

Im not circumcised but thought previously on 2 occasions that i would have to.......in the middle of sex and the foreskin tore as it was 2 tight.....the amount of blood was unreal....

smashey · 29-09-2008 11:55am

No and no thanks.

Jesus that sounds terrible, did it tear twice? Did you go to the doctor about it?

karlr42 · 29-09-2008 2:37pm

Sounds like phismosis, go to a doctor.

Baldie · 29-09-2008 4:24pm

Nope. The closest I got was catching it in my fly....

Wibbs · 29-09-2008 8:34pm

No thank god. I wouldn't want the possible long term loss of sensitivity or the loss of the foreskin itself.

longshanks · 29-09-2008 8:44pm

i am, i have been since i was a baby.

Jack Sheehan · 29-09-2008 8:46pm

Nope.

Why does a scene from American Pie II spring to mind?

RoundyMooney · 03-10-2008 9:48pm

Just to buck the trend-yes, and have only good experiences (and compliments).

Having said that, if I still had it, I'd probably want to keep it, if you get me.

Congrats on the forum guys, I'll be sure to read it whenever I'm about

That's the banjo string (aka frenelum),most likely.

As this is not a medical forum, I'd suggest a chat with your GP

norrie rugger · 05-10-2008 9:52am

nope. Not happening, unless for medical reasons. I can not understand why people would want to, or why parents you want to do something like that to a child. Foreskin is some of the most sensative area, would miss that too much ;-)

Dave! · 05-10-2008 10:44am

No, I've still got that bad-boy!

Anybody had a negative reaction to having one, in eg. the US? My preconception is that most lads (heh) over there are circumcised, so it's unusual to have foreskin. Perhaps I'm wrong though.

Hagar · 05-10-2008 10:47am

Male genital mutilation? Thanks but no thanks.

Circumcision is hugely prevalent in the States for newborn boys, something like half have it done. It used to be more common here too apparently. When I was born my grandmother kept pushing my mother to have me circumcised, but my mother refused as she couldn't bear the thought of her firstborn being mutilated. Thanks Ma.

In fairness Hagar, there's a world of difference between circumcision and genital mutilation. It's origins are entirely practical and introduced into religious practice by means of ensuring everyone did it for the greater good. Sand can get everywhere...

I'm not circumcised, nor would I see any reason beyond something medical to get it done to either myself or a future son.

Insect Overlord · 05-10-2008 11:30pm

Nope. I'm still intact

horsenaughton · 06-10-2008 7:25pm

Yes I am got it done as a child for medical reasons not sure what they were though. it still works grand and have had no complaints from the ladies yet some even prefer it. you less likely to pick up std if you are circumcised.

Star Lord · 07-10-2008 12:40pm

Had it done when I was about 4, for medical reasons. The foreskin was simply too tight, so it had to go.

Don't miss it. As stated by others before me though, I wouldn't do it unless it was medically required, same with any offspring that may come along in the future.

milod · 07-10-2008 2:00pm

Gone but not forgotten! I had to have circumcision for medical reasons a few years ago- it was too tight, tried all the steroid creams stretching etc but eventually had to go for the medical option due to a buildup of scar tissue... :eek:

As Wibbs pointed out earlier though, there are sensitivity issues. I can go for a long long time - too long sometimes - chafing of bits etc is not good

Mine was a relatively conservative job, ie, the minimum of skin was removed in case they had to correct post-op scar tissue. So it looks a bit like a little bald man putting on a turtle neck jumper...

robtri · 07-10-2008 3:38pm

had the old boy taken care off when i was young,
love it this way, seems by some accounts to be cleaner

javaboy · 07-10-2008 6:29pm

My mam told me one particular awkward night after a few glasses of wine that when she had my older brother that a quick check for foreskin looseness was standard procedure for babies to determine if circumcision was required but when she had me five years later, no nurse or doctor ever checked.

I'm curious. Does anybody know if that particular check is/was standard operating procedure?

nkay1985 · 08-10-2008 1:36am

Nope I'm still all there down there. I don't think I've ever met anybody over here who's had it done for any reason that's not medical.

How the feck can sand get under your foreskin??

Have you never found sand in your sandwiches after visiting the beach despite the fact that you never even opened the cooler box they were in because the weather turned bad?

Sand gets everywhere.

Unless you're cavorting around the beach with your jock strap around your ankles and somebody is horsing sand at your dingly-dangly then it's difficult to imagine sand of any texture getting in there. Butt-crack maybe.

unkel · 08-10-2008 11:21pm

Nope.

Alun · 09-10-2008 11:56am

Not currently, but will be sometime in the near future (for medical reasons). Not looking forward to it, to be honest :eek:

Nothing to worry about mate! Of course, count on severe 'shrinkage' It's amazing how the little guy turtles when approached by guy in a gown, with rubber gloves, and a hypodermic needle...

So after he pulls it out of your abdomen, yeah, you really feel the first of three needles going into the base of your cock (I had it done under local anesthetic - hardcore!). But the second and third needle you barely feel...

Then the nurse sparks up this sorta cauterising thingy that looks like a soldering iron, in case any of your blue veins really start to bleed. Meanwhile the doc gets to work with a scalpel and a scissors, and then threads it all back together again. Don't worry, you don't feel a thing - just get the odd tugging sensation. Some of the questions that go through your mind (ok my mind) as you watch are like:

"why did I have to get a Nigerian nurse on my most 'shrinkaged' ever outing...?"

"Is her smile just plain friendly or downright amused...?"

"Will I ever regain feeling in my penis again...?"

So obviously the next few weeks are going to be painfully tender and night erections are a killer, and you won't be able to shag for about six weeks minimum, but at the end of the day, it was all fairly manageable, and (I'm reliably informed...:rolleyes:) nothing like as painful as childbirth...

Hope I haven't scared you off...
