Is circumcision a must for having sex?

    Friends,
    I was reading some posts on circumcision and thought I will post my problem here.
    Hence I went anonymous.
    I am 31years married happy man.
    I have regular sex and enjoy it.
    General routine is:
    when the penis is in normal state, the foreskin fully covers my penis.
    when i get aroused, the foreskin fully covers my penis too.
    i wear the condom in the same state and have sex
    no problem.

    am i missing something?

    i sometimes pull my foreskin back of the penis head and masturbate (when my wife is not in town) and bring it back to normal.

    should i have sex with the foreskin pulled behind?

    i am bit confused now after reading posts on circumcision.

    fyi - i am healthy and fit

    hoping to see some suggestions here

    No.

    If you are happy and everything is in working order and your happy and your partner is happy then don't worry about it.

    If you do have a really issue/worry about yoru foreskin then talk to your dr.

    What Thaedydal wrote.

    Technically the foreskin protects the sensitive head until sex where that foreskin rolls back and exposes said sensitive head. Which increases the pleasure. That would be the way it's "designed" to work. That's why it's there, otherwise it wouldn't be basically.

    Now if you can roll it back easily at other times, then you don't need circumcision. That would be only indicated medically if you had difficulty. If you do have issues there then talk to your doctor.

    Just a thought, maybe try it rolled back before you put on the condom and see how that feels to you.

    Again as Thaedydal points out, if you're happy with that cool. People differ.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    Wibbs is referring to phimosis, which by the sound of it you don't have. You'd know if you did as you would have major problems retracting the foreskin at all.
    If you had a short frenulum (someone on boards referred to it as his banjo string once; he tore it causing sharp inhaled breath among readers all over the country!), that could cause some restriction (frenulum breve I think it's called).
    If you can fully retract the foreskin so that it lies smoothly back on the shaft, then you don't have an issue. The foreskin is frequently long enough to cover the head of the penis while erect. Sure ask a doctor anyway if you have concerns.
    Again as Thaedydal points out, if you're happy with that cool. People differ.

    +1.

    Edit: As an aside, if you'd been at the Spencer Tunick event on Saturday, you would have seen more penis variance than one would have believe possible! Not that I was attempted to check all that much but...

    Shouldn't you pull back your foreskin before putting on a condom?

    Only if you want to enjoy it.

    Don't mean to seem facetious (much) but seriously try it, just once, and you'll never not do it again.

    You should OP; it reduces the risk of the condom tearing.

    OP. I thought the same as you but pulling back my foreskin for sex just isn't for me.

    I enjoy it with the skin in the "normal" position.

    Others seem to need to pull it back to enjoy sex but that would be just too painful/over sensitive for me.

    So put your mind at ease. You've not been doing anything wrong or missing out on anything.

    By all means try it out, but you'll probably just revert back to the skin forward as usual.
