Male Circumcision | Different circumcision outcom…

When my cousin was circumcised for phimosis, his physician (well, my aunt's) apparently claimed this was not the same thing as a circumcision for Jews, that more skin was left.

So I'm curious: is there a difference in final outcome between various styles of circumcision? Ritual Jewish, ritual Muslim, for phimosis, at birth (American-style)? Are there styles where more skin is removed, where the frenulum is removed, as opposed to others? Is there any visual difference? In the areas retained? In the areas exposed?

I've read some posts about high vs low and tight vs loose but I don't really understand. Maybe this could be explained in layman's terms, with reference to anatomical parts and perhaps links to photos.

I read recently that it may be nothing more that nicking the tip with a scalpel or as little as only scratching it.

..... the "foreskin" consists of only the wrinkly puce colored folds at the very tip of the penis .....

Now that I think about it, this is the type of circumcision that my mother wanted for me. At the age of 12 my mother found that my foreskin was somewhat tight. She commented that the doctor would "snip just the tip" so that my foreskin would slide back. I envisioned the doctor cutting my foreskin as my mother cuts cloth with a pair of scissors. She took me to the doctor but it didn't happen.

The foreskin adheres to the glans until it releases on its own, naturally. That can happen anytime from pubescent to young adult. So many doctors are never trained in the anatomy and functions of the foreskin and don’t know that. They recommend forcing the foreskin to retract (for “hygiene reasons”), tearing the adhesions and causing damage. This is like unto ripping off a fingernail to clean the nail bed underneath. Many men who say that they had to be circumcised later in childhood or as an adult due to phimosis were actually dealing with copious amounts of scar tissue that had formed after the penis owner and/or his parents tried to force retraction before the time was right.

I was circumcised due to phimosis at age 7, I think. I have no idea of the method used, I was asleep. All I can say is that I had stitches afterwards. It now looks like this

There is a pink ring of what I think is mucosa, formerly the inner lining of the foreskin. When erect, this ring is tight and movement of skin is limited, though possible, while one must be careful not to pinch the skin. So I suspect I'm in the "high and tight" category.

I'm easily irritated by masturbation and even had some small "cuts" due to too much rubbing, or clumsy rubbing. Vaginal penetration is more enjoyable due to lubrication.

I have written about this before but mine was an infant circumcision done for cleaniness etc reasons. So not religious at all.

Idea was to expose the head and that is what was done. I have inner mucosa which bunches up as a cuff behind the head. Straightish and definite scar. Frenulum still all there. Think it was forecepts guided.
