    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.

    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 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? :p :pac:

    No here.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,986 ✭✭✭Red Hand


    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.

    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....


  • Registered Users Posts: 21,676 ✭✭✭✭smashey


    No and no thanks.

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


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 580 ✭✭✭karlr42


    Sounds like phismosis, go to a doctor.

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


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 60,075 Mod ✭✭✭✭Wibbs


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

    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.

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


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,910 ✭✭✭✭RoundyMooney


    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 :)

    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 ;-)
