Did your mother retract your foreskin and enjoy it if it hurt?

It was when I was about 8 years old and I wanted to take a shower with my brother. My mother came over and said it was time for my foreskin to be pulled back when I showered and she pulled my foreskin back and sent me with the foreskin pulled back to my brother in the shower.

Interesting. I don't think I ever bathed or showered with my siblings once we got to that age. Was he older or younger and was that something you did often with your brother? Was that the first time your foreskin had gone back?

My girlfriend's boy was circumcised at the age of 7

My girlfriend and I agree on this point.

Age 7? Was that for a medical reason that you both needed to agree on?

Yes, he was older than me and we always had to bathe and shower together and always the foreskin had to be pulled back, my mother wanted that

It so happened that there was a discussion among my girlfriend's friends

with the pros and cons.

The older one was already 7, now 10.

Since everything was going very well, we let his brother do it a year ago, when he was 7.

I am not sure I understand the significance of your girlfirend and friends doing it when they are 7 though. Do you live somewhere that it normally happens at that age?

Not my mother but my father. I had a medical at school age 7yo. This led to a letter being sent home saying that my little foreskin was tight and that it needed to be treated. My dad said he would do it. This lead to him 'helping' me each week. I used to hate every Thursday when my mum would go to bingo with her sister he would come into my room

Can tell you more info if you like, I hated it at the time but find it good to talk about now if that makes sense?

When I said I wanted to bathe on my own my nanny that had been giving me baths after my mom lost custody and I went to live with my dad showed me how important it was to retract my foreskin and wash underneath well. She was very gentle but surprised I was not circumcised. My female pediatrician that was pro circumcision also went over it.

Did you end up getting circumcised?

No my mother did not and my father had died of cancer, so I guess I just taught myself as no one else did!!
