Hi fellas, as a roundhead myself, i am just wondering out of curiosity what 'style' of cut other guys got, and if they were happy with how it turned out for them ?
Mine is medium high and fairly tight and i think this is the best possible for me, i wouldnt like it to be a low loose cut or too low. i think a very high cut might leave too much inner thin foreskin too far back on the shaft, which might get irritated by clothing etc.
However as a 'grower' i couldnt have a very tight cut, but still my head is always exposed, which is how i like it. clean, dry and fresh always.
as for loss of sensation, i dont think there is any 'loss', just an adjustment to 'normal', so that it is not hyper sensitive, just tolerant to brushing off things without causing an 'electric shock' every time, but still sensitive enough to feel whats important
what do others think, any advice or regrets ?0 -

Day 365
Well it's been a year today since my op, not much to say really that hasn't been said. Just wished I got it done when I was younger.
Having followed this thread for a while before getting it done, I used to log in every day at least to read up on people's latest & greatest experiences, thought I'd always be interested etc.. but now, it's like "meh"
as I'm so used to the circ.
Nice to check in every so often to see others getting sorted out etc.
Thanks to those who keep posting!0 -

Have to ask: how much different is it? For example, when the foreskin doesn't retract, there's pressure on the head which stops the full erection. So, is it like training with weights? Working against pressure develops muscles/vascularity. When the foreskin is removed, the pressure is relieved. Afterwards, do erections appear bigger? Do they feel more comfortable? Do they last longer?Hey guys just wanted to re-visit this thread and let you all know that i finally got the circumcision in may and i am fully healed now,i can honestly say that it is the best thing ive ever had done,it feels and look a hell of a lot better,i can cum a lot easier now and sex just feels way way better.Im also a lot more confident and have gotten a new girlfriend and there no bad smell from a forskin anymore.Thanks for all of you help and kind advice,it was very much appreciated:):):):):):):):):):)0 -

Well,i think the best way for me to put in to words how much difference the cicumcision made,would be simply that my biggest regret was not building up the courage until i was 25 to finally get it done,i wonder how different life would have been had i gotten it done sooner.There is a bit of a difference from my own perspective,full errection appears a lot thicker,however for the first month or two it seemed to be a little bit shorter,i originally thought that the surgeon had removed too much skin,but i was wrong,it was just my bodys own way of not damaging the new wound by getting fully errect(odd how the body seems to know these things)now its back to its original length,so my worries were premature. Intercourse is a completely different experience,feels like losing your virginity all over again,but even better.My girlfriend says she prefers the circumcised man,apparently it feels better for her and its not "icky" as she would say.If your suffereing from phimosis(tight forskin) i can't explain how much better the quality of life is when u finally get the op,for a few weeks of mild discomfort,you recieve a lifetime of amazing sex.Dont end up like me,dont waste years trying to, just get on with it.Stretching and steroid cream didnt work for me,i explored all options and none of them worked.Hope you take some inspiration from this little rant lol.Best of luck with whatever you decide to do.:D 0 -

Hi! New user just signed up! Got to say its been great reading all these posts about circumcision. Really helped me take me mind off worries i had.
The one thing that has really helped me the most is reading day to day diaries and id like to start one here to help others in my position (and also give me something to do while im laying in bed all day ).
Ok so heres the story, for about 14 years now ive known that I didnt have a "normal" foreskin. Pulling it back over my glans when soft was hard enough (a little easier in the bath) but when erect was impossible. Ive had quite a few sexual partners since then (im now 28) and each time sex has ranged from uncomfortable to painful. Id never want to explain my condition to them and guess i hoped it would just sort itself out in time. Well it hasnt and when the problem came up again with my new girfriend i though enough is enough and booked myself in to see my GP. I was also having bouts of thrush like itching all around my foreskin and it would flare up almost everyweek and was very itchy/sore.
My GP gave me a check and inspected my penis and said circumcision was my best option. I was very scared but also happy to hear him say this. I had finally taken the 1st step and it felt great!!
fast forward 3 months and I was booked into have a assessment at my local hospital. They just checked my weight and blood pressure etc. I then got sent a letter i was all booked in to have the procedure in 2 weeks. EEEKK!!
so this wednesday just gone was my big day....
DAY 1:
My appointment was at 8am so had to wake up at half 6 to be there on time. I wasnt allowed to eat anything past 3am or drink anything past 6am so i was a little hungry and was dying for a cup of tea Got driving to the hospital and was there bang on 8am. Got taken through to the ward and made to feel very comfortable. Signed a few forms, met the surgeon who explained to me the procedure and what to do afterwards etc. After that i got into my gown and got into the bed. 10 minutes later i was wheeled down the hall and sent to sleep under general anesthetic. Just drifted off and had a lovely deep sleep. Woke up back on the ward with no pain at all and dozed for a good hour longer. When i was fully awake the nurses gave me cups of tea and sandwhiches which was great as i was starving. Everything seemed fine until i tried to stand up. A small trickle of blood came out of my penis onto the floor and the minute i saw that i almost fainted. Im fine with blood etc but seeing it come from there was a different story. I was told to lay back down and just relax. I was given some oxygen and felt fine after 5 minutes. Half an hour later i tried again and was ok, still some blood but not alot. I was asked to have a wee and once id gone i was told i could go home! Was given my painkillers and anti swelling tablets and was driven back home. Once home I changed into a loose pair of shorts and just laid in bed trying not to think too much. Had a nice deep sleep.
Day 2:
Woke up still in no real pain, just twinges rough my glans where the stitches are. Checked the bandages and they looked pretty bloody but i was told to keep them for at least 48 hours. Had a wee sitting down and found out i had the sprinkler effect going on. Was very careful when urinating as i felt like it might hurt but glad to find out it didnt, just a little tender. Hospital phoned later to make sure i was ok so i asked if i could remove the dressing that night. They said that was fine and do sit in a shallow bath with a handful of salt and slowly unravel the dressing.
This was the part i was dreading, was so nervous as to what id look like and it took me a good 5 minutes to pluck up the courage to go for it. Wasnt as bad as i was expecting. Penis is black n blue and swollen. I was concerned to see there was a little bit of bleeding still. I put a very thin layer of gauze around my shaft and retired to bed. Started to itch slightly which i took to mean things are begining to heal
DAY 3:
Woke up at 4am in a small amount of discomfort, think i had just had a nighttime erection. Checked my dressing and there was bleeding. This was worrying and i ended up just laying there until 8am. Just took it easy today, laying in bed watching TV. At around 6pm I had another salty soak and removed the dressing...NO BLEEDING!! So happy! Decided to leave it out in the open and let things breathe. Have to avoid the tip touching anything as it's really sensative, hope this dies down soon. Had a good look at myself and even though its bruised and swollen, i dont think it looks too bad. Itching coming on bit more now.0 -
I suppose it depends on the doctor. I'm in the same situation, but at least my doctor took a look, said that he thought that the prepuce should be trimmed rather than a full circumcision.
I've an appointment with the urologist in November.
I'm assuming that the appointment is for the urologist to make his own opinion rather than doing the op there and then.
Ive the exact same problem and ive had my appointment with the surgeon so im just waiting on the op date now... Lets hope its before christmas... 0 -
