Would uncircumcised men ever consider circumcision?

No, absolutely no chance.

Why change what is natural for no reason at all. If I want to look and feel circumcised I just need to roll the foreskin back behind the glans and hey presto!

Not that any assistance is required, the foreskin does enhance the masturbation feel / process etc. For me anyway!!!!

I wonder how many new born males undergo circumcision these days?

Percentage cut? Percentage intact?

Here's one answer from the CDC, not too recent but---.

The numbers speak for themselves. The percentage of babies being circumcised has plummeted. Today only 33 percent of babies are being circumcised, compared to 56 percent five years ago and 90 percent sixty years ago, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.Mar 9, 2011

Absolutely not. Circumcision isn't necessary. To me it would be like removing a woman's clitoral hood. I think masturbation feels better with foreskin. I feel bad for men who don't have foreskin. Also, a friend of mine had a circumcision as an adult and as a result could not achieve or maintain erections as easily as before his circumcision. And when I'm erect, my foreskin retracts and to me looks similar to a circumcised penis.

Although i confess i have a fetish for looking at circumcision scars, I am strongly against RIC. I am so glad that my penis wasn't cut. Those are the most sensitive parts of my entire genital region, and I feel very sorry for anyone who has had a part of their manhood removed unnecessarily.

Why cut off the most sensitive, pleasurable part of my penis? Would women get circumcised as adults?? I am so glad my parents let me keep what I was born with!!

I would completely agree.

I seem to be in the minority in this thread but yes I would, in a heartbeat. I do remember my grandfather telling a horror story or two about how much it sucked being circumcised as an adult but I've had plenty of painful injuries and surgeries and body modification so I would tough it out. Still though I am extremely glad it was done when I was born.

I have already responded to this, but would like to add that I cannot imagine myself without having my foreskin. For me, the foreskin adds so much pleasure and rewards. Us males were not born with it for nothing.

James3333: What advantages would you see to that?

I have a friend who lived overseas for a few years. The fell in love with a girl from a Muslim family. Her father was willing to let them marry IF he converted, including circumcision. Her father figured he would never do it. He was trying. My friend got circumcised as an adult, married the woman, and brought her to America.

No way. As others have said, it removes a sensitive part of the anatomy and I see no possible gain, either cosmetic or practical.

One day, circumcision will be looked at in horror as a sign of "unenlightened" times.

I fantasize about being circumcised often. I have looked into it and given serious thought to having it done. Not for any real reason at this point other than to experience something different sexually, as well as the actual procedure and healing.

I don't mind my foreskin, it does make masterbation and some sexual activities easier. I have found though that it deadens some of the sensations in certain circumstances. Like the out stroke during sex, when the foreskin slides up on the head. I have held it back during sex and found it a fun but cumbersome task (hand in the way a bit).

Lately for masterbation, I hold it all the way back and go at it dry. My orgasm takes more work this way but is more intense when achieved. I also started wearing it pulled back a few years ago and now spend probably 90% of the time skinned back.

So I have definitely considered it but kind of feel like it wouldn't be necessary at this point. I get a lot of the cut benefits just by having it down, with the uncut benefits that couldn't be gotten back after going through with the clip.

Whether one is a circumcised or uncircumcised penis like better, of course, is a matter of opinion. It can not argue with it. Personally, I find uncircumcised penises beautiful. My own foreskin I would never remove without medical indication. Because with foreskin can be much better to masturbate, because one has as it were a vagina always available. In addition to the foreskin which is provided to protect the sensitive glans. This has resulted in the evolution of so and therefore is certainly not wrong.

From my late teens I found myself increasingly thinking about what it would be like to actually have a circumcised penis. By then i practiced leaving my foreskin retracted as much of the A’s possible and enjoyed not of the feeling of havibg my glans exposed but also the clean, dry feeling.

Eventually I had myself circumcised at age 49 and have zero regrets. Love having a circumcised penis and don’t care who knows I’m cut.

It was advised by my pediatrician who then opted for distention therapy for my phimosis.

It was also advised by my play docs and it is an arousing idea to have it done! But I never do that for real.

I would not. I love the way it feels when the foreskin is slowly pulled back and the head of my penis is so sensitive.

There is currently a documentary on Netflix about circumcision. It explains how barbaric and traumatic it is for the baby to do this unneeded procedure. It shows them strapping down a new born and cutting it, and the baby is screaming from the pain, as the Dr tells the nurse, there is no medical reason to do this. The program is very well done !!

Of course men that had it done at birth don't know any different and didn't have a choice. So obviously cut men think its better, due to not wanting to think they have missed out on sensation that uncut men have.

I have been with guys that are both and the cut guys are way less sensitive, and I feel don't enjoy as much sensation, in my survey of them.

Many religions still practice this ritual, which in my opinion as a female to be a curse on poor male babies.

I agree with the statement on here about in years to come it will be looked back on as the dark ages.

Just my 2 cents from a female point of view.

I though circumcised penises were more sensitive? I mean the procedure should be done under GA, but the healing process would still be very painful.

The glans is very sensitive when first exposed, thats the beauty of having a foreskin it maintains the sensitivity. After the foreskin is gone the glans toughens up so it's about as sensitive as a finger. Actually less sensitive. For many of us with a foreskin, myself included, it is too sensitive and even painful to touch. I had to desensitize mine for my own pleasure.

Dr. Kellogg of cereal fame was the greatest proponent of circumcising young boys and girls 😢 to destroy the sensitivity of the glans and clitoris. He believed that would stop them from masturbating. I don't know how well that worked for girls but the boys who were cut that I jerked off with when we were young teens liked polishing their rocket just as much as I did. I've never known a girl whose clit had been denuded so I can't say for them. Maybe in this vast group there is a female whose clit has been bared for a long time who could tell us something about that. I just can't imagine a doctor removing a girls clit hood at birth or soon after so maybe they are pretty rare.

With literally BILLIONS of circumcised men and boys throughout history, If circumcision was a problem, it would have been recognized by now.

Very odd conclusion. There are about 3.5 Bil males on earth now, with the vast majority are not cut. The US is the only industrialized nation that still practices this barbaric procedure.

You state a "PROBLEM" well being less sensitive I feel is a problem, but with 99.9999% of cut males having it done at birth, how do you prove a negative. Of course men that are, feel its fine, not knowing any different.

With literally BILLIONS of circumcised men and boys throughout history, If circumcision was a problem, it would have been recognized by now.

And there have been billions more who were NOT circumcised. Even now there are about 33% circumcised males vs 66% not cut. If that was a problem, it would have been recognized by now.

So, if neither condition actually causes a problem, then perhaps a penis should be left as it is at birth: uncircumcised (unless because of a clearly observable medical condition). Otherwise why go around cutting body parts off for no discernible reason? Leave well enough alone.

@agracier

Well said sir I totally agree with you...Leave well enough alone.

@FreeSpiritGirl

I watched a documentary a few years back on our Channel 4 here in the UK. A baby boy was circumcised against his father's expressed wishes, the mother insisted on it for some reason or other and got her way. I can't remember the exact motivation but it wasn't medical or religious. Anyway the baby got an infection and very sadly died. It was a very bleak and depressing programme, but it was real life unfortunately. The moral of the story is...Be careful what you wish for.

As far as sensitivity is concerned, men who have NOT been circumcized have said they are more sensitive than men who are circumcized and they state that as an advantage.

In my life I have had sex with close to 100 men of different ages. As an impartial observer, I cannot say there was one group who enjoyed sex more or less then the other, or one group that came to orgasm faster or slower than the other.

It all works out to be the same.

How would they know that??? Are they speaking from a before and after perspective??

Isn't that like me saying men - like me - who are follicly challenged are better lovers than men with a full head of hair??

Susie can maybe give you a better answer statistically based on her informal survey of nearly 100 men of varying ages since my experience is far more minimal by comparison. I suppose the more anecdotal feedback from men who have experienced BOTH uncircumcised and circumcised sex might also be valuable. (That probably is a very select group of men and anecdotal evidence is not a totally reliable way to gather verifiable data!) Speaking as the female of the species here I would just remind all of us that sex ideally includes much more than physical characteristics and speed of orgasms for me at least. The quality and speed of orgasms varies far more based on many things other than the exact configuration of the penis. At least for me it sure does! Come to think of it, this makes me wonder if speed of orgasm necessarily equals quality of orgasm?

YES - AGREED - it all works out!

Now that may be true. They do call that a testosterone burn.

No, I dont really see why I should be circumcised when I'm not.

Come to think of it, this makes me wonder if speed of orgasm necessarily equals quality of orgasm?

I'll start it off here. For my morning masturbation today I pulled the foreskin back tight and dry rubbed it slowly at approximately 1 stroke a second. It took me roughly 100 strokes. I think it was 103 or 104. I usually don't stroke it that slow and I've not counted the strokes but I can say the time it takes varies depending on how horny I am and the the girl I'm thinking of. The other day I was able to get off in about 10 seconds by stroking real fast.

Back when my wife was a willing partner I went for enjoyment not speed but now she doesn't want anything inside her penis trap not even a finger. She likes it when I masturbate her but will not reciprocate on me. She has never liked touching my penis and says it because of what happened to her before we met. She says her father made her do that for him after her mother would not have sex with him. He told her it was the daughters duty to take over.

I don't know if it's true or not. She remembered that when she was about 40 when it was the subject of one of those TV talk shows one week. Those were the shows they did about 40 years ago that in my opinion they must have searched the whole country for months to find a half dozen people who claimed to be afflicted by whatever they were looking for. The trouble is she used to watch those shows and decide all of us in the family had whatever the subject of the week was.
