Have you ever had a dream about circumcision?

From when I hit puberty to when I turned 18 and got the snip I often had dreams about the process of getting circumcised. Sometimes it was erotic, sometimes it was just a sense of relief, like scratching an itch. Sometimes in the dream I would be cutting the foreskin myself, sometimes it was someone else. After the operation if I had an erotic dream I would picture myself uncut, even after a couple of years. At some point during a dream I realized "Oh, I don't have foreskin anymore!" For a while after that sometimes I would see myself cut, sometimes uncut. At some point I suppose my unconscious accepted or adjusted to my body image and I really can't remember the last time I dreamed that I had foreskin.

When we had our boys, we decided to keep them intact - I believe that altering your body is your choice and yours alone (outside of medical necessity), but last night I had a decidedly non-erotic dream that I was arranging a circumcision for my son and I vividly remembered the antiseptic smell from the surgery room where I had mine done.

I'm wondering if this topic has come up in dreams for anyone else. Was it a positive experience, negative or neutral?

I tend to not remember my dreams when I’ve woken up. However, whilst I can’t remember specifics, I know I certainly dreamt about it both in childhood and as an adult who eventually required it.

I often have dreams of my own circumcision.

Only once I had a dream that I could say was a nightmare. It was when my first child was about to be born, That day my wife and I had reviewed the insurance, Months before when we knew it was going to be a boy, we said we wouldn't circumcise him. But that day the subject came up again, because the insurance covers the operation. We stuck to our original decision, but it got me thinking.That night I dreamed that I had agreed at the last minute to have my son operated on and I woke up because the operation went wrong. That is the only dream I ever had about circumcision.

I’ve had a few more fun and interesting dreams involving circumcised penises, but only one that was about circumcision. It was very similar to @EusebiJ’s nightmare, however it differed as I was not even far enough along in my pregnancy to know gender yet when the impetus of my dream happened.

The father of that child was circumcised and had some feelings about how he wanted his son to look like him (despite not even knowing whether he would have a son or a daughter). It caused an argument between us as he would not listen to me at all. He was telling me that all of the valid reasons why I am against RIC were lies and he is fine so he wants it.

After attending an ulstrasound a few weeks later and seeing without much doubt that it was a boy, I started to have nightmares about that argument and him getting his own way because I’m “a woman what do (I) know.” Thankfully I won the argument in the end.

Thankfully I won the argument in the end.

Good for you. I’m am uncircumcised and so happy I am. Partners have loved to play with my foreskin. Some even loved how they could pull on it and stretch it open to look at my glans and commented that the clans inside looked like a cervix. Except unlike the cervix this was extremely sensitive.

And no, no dreams about circumcision.

Absolutely. Mostly daydreams but I dream of me being cut as a young boy, alternatively as a teenager or young adult and I dream about how I would like my circumcision today or even how I have to undergo a mandatory circumcision. but I am always happy that I got circed, even if it was a forced circumcision that I had no control over.

Good for you. I’m am uncircumcised and so happy I am.

Yeah I was always going to win in the end, I am too stubborn for my own good sometimes 😂 @thedocisin

However my win isn’t about my own ideals or whether I like my partner the way he is or not, his body = his choice. If he disagrees as an adult, he has the ability to change that.

@NurseSammy It's good that everything went well and that reason prevailed in the end, Same with us, even though I am circumcised, none of my 3 sons are.

I don't recall such dreams, even though the topic comes to my mind regularly, and also the topic of pulling back the skin on an intact penis.

I've never thought much about penises (other than my own), but, perhaps from looking at the pictures on this site, I've recently become intrigued by their aesthetics. Thank you to those who've posted photos!

I am circumcised, but, likely triggered by this topic, I had a dream last night where I was not and I was retracting my foreskin and checking it out.

Yes I had a dream about being forced to have an examination mandatory for school admission where the doctor remove my underwear with me on the table. I felt completely frozen still during the procedure as happened in real examinations with my pediatrician when young during the genital part. The doctor did the injection on my penis, placed clamps and slowly cut the prepuce around the glans with surgical scissors finally removed the frenulum with a scalpel and placed a lot of sutures. It was both terrifying and arousing at the same time.
