Do you feel "more naked" as a circumcised man?

Not at all. I was circumcised by a mohel almost 70 years ago. I am not a very religious Jew, but I think the idea of circumcision, while thousands of years old, still makes medical sense today, especially to protect women from cervical cancer. I have had sex with quite a few non Jewish women and no one complained, and one Jewish woman who had a partner for years that was no circumcised and I asked her if there was any difference for her, and she said no. I think these people against circumcision are NUTS.

And yet around ⅔rds of the world male population is not cut. And if it weren't for religious reasons, which are illogical and based on custom and tradition, only an insignificant percentage would be circumcised.

This supermajority of the uncut seems to be doing very well in the penile, sex and procreation departments. Trying to link a religious tradition to a scientific non-observation is the illogical reasoning.

Anyone, in 2021, who advocates non-consensual routine infant circumcision is seriously nuts. Note well the words ‘non-consensual’

Here's a 1989 quote from Dr Benjamin Spock who originally favoured circumcision… "Circumcision of males is traumatic, painful, and of questionable value, my own preference, if I had the good fortune to have another son, would be to leave his little penis alone".

As for cervical cancer, all sexually active heterosexual women are at some risk from this. Regular screening and HPV vaccinations are the solution, not circumcision….

I feel more naked cut and shaved, I can compare it since I was cut with 17 for sexual/ aesthetic reasons.

Since then when I get an erection or I ejaculate the glans and the semen is fully visible for the others around and I can‘t hide anything.

Nope,never knew any difference,most of us kids were circumcised,I didn’t see an uncut penis until I was in the 7th grade in the gym showers! Me and my buddies were all abuzz about it! We even asked the boy all about it ( poor kid he was so embarrassed)! He just said it was extra skin and pulled it back so we could see his mushroom head,we thought he was cool and readily accepted him as our friend throughout jr high school.

This may be true in today's world. It was done to me when I was born (Sept 1959) and it had nothing to do with religion. I believe back then aside from religion, at least in the U.S. it was fairly widely believed that a circumcised penis was more sanitary and healthy but thankfully theses days most of us know better.

Profound. That topic has never entered my mind.

I'm not circumcised, but certainly feel more “exposed” (naked?) when I have my foreskin retracted during an exam.

In a play exam I've had the retraction extended (my foreskin returns to “normal” position almost immediately it is released) by use of a cock-tie being applied to the base of my penis and scrotum with the foreskin retracted. When I was in that position, I certainly felt very exposed - as well as aroused 😳

I am circumcised. As I am naked, when at home, most of the time, I enjoy looking at my penis, when sitting or walking past wardrobe mirrors. My penis head (glans) is larger in diameter than my penis and a slightly more purple in colour, and gets very hard when I have an erection.

Personally, I enjoy having all on display when at the local nude beach.

Having been circumcised as an infant, I know no other ‘’feeling'' that how I am.

I have the same opinion, which is why I often think about circumcision.

I think I must feel more naked when my foreskin is retracted but I love it. I loved it when I had a girlfriend who liked retracting it to look at it and touch the bare glans then wash away the stickiness using rubbing alcohol so she could play with it completely dry. She liked to feel the shape of the glans and inside the groove and then dry rub it to a conclusion. She said she could feel it pulsing and then when it exploded.

On a hot day/night baring it makes my whole body feel cooler so I often bare it at night in bed which naturally leads to me doing something similar to what she did. Touching, feeling and holding it bare just feels good so I understand why younger girls would say they like circumcised, they haven't learned yet how much pleasure they can give their guy by playing with his foreskin while working on his bare inner parts.

Since I have always lived in the U.S.A. where the overwhelming majority of men are circumcised, I have spent my entire life around men who are accustomed to circumcised penises, therefore I do not feel more naked with my glans exposed.

I'm uncut, but I feel like being circumcised would make me feel "more naked" when others can see my penis. With the foreskin, I feel like the most private part of my body (my glans) is at least concealed. Your thoughts?

Because my penis was circumcised later in life, my experience is somewhat similar to what you've described. But, it was not so much about feeling "more naked;" it was rather about being aware of the exposed glans.

When my penis hadn't yet been circumcised, the glans was sensitive and moist, because it was covered with a foreskin. Once the foreskin was removed though, the glans, still as much sensitive as before, became fully exposed. For many months, before the glans was allowed to keratinize and dry out, I have always been aware of it rubbing against the clothing. It took probably a year for my penis to feel considerably less inside my pants, but the awareness of the entire glans being permanently exposed remained. It was amplified after the doctor explained the main purpose of the procedure - permanent exposure the entire glans.

For many uncircumcised men, the glans is often the most private part of their bodies because it is only revealed during the moments of intimacy, in private, or in a medical setting. For this exact reason, uncircumcised boys and men are often uncomfortable or shy exposing their glans in public and feel awkward about doing it in front of a doctor. So, it is very much possible for a male circumcised later in life feel "more naked."

I’ve always thought I have A nicely shaped head; proportional to the rest of my penis. I enjoy That it can be easily seen by others 😃

Interesting. I have a fairly large and well defined head (especially relative to my shaft) which can be easily seen if my pants/ shorts are of thin enough material. Almost all of my sweatpants, dress slacks, Docker's, athletic shorts, etc. reveal the ring of my corona. Some show it very obviously, some are more subtle. Various styles of underwear also show or hide it differently. This really embarrasses me when it's visible and I'm very self conscious of it. I started wearing jeans as a teenager a lot, mostly to try and hide this. If I start to get aroused, even in jeans, my ring becomes extremely evident and visible.

@BenDover what styles and fabric types of underwear show or conceal your corona being visible? In what direction do you normally have your penis positioned inside your underwear?

@MedSwitch I agree. The head of the penis is an intimate body part that circumcised men are accustomed to having visible to casual viewers. I enjoy this as well.

Yes. For instance my glans rubs against underwear, which I think is not the case in intact men.

All my underwear now is made of some blend of synthetic materials, in my opinion, cotton stretches out too much during the day and gets droopy with no support. I wear boxer briefs (with a pouch that keeps my scrotum from sticking to my thighs) during the day for extra support. Those are also best at concealing my ring. They tend to compress and smooth everything together a bit more. I wear boxers at home during the evening and night. They are more comfortable when sitting in my recliner and sleeping in. However, they offer almost no camouflage for my corona, especially since I'm usually also wearing sweats or athletic shorts at home too. Darker colored pants are also better at hiding than lighter colors.

I usually hang to the right, and apparently it's obvious. A female friend in high school once mentioned it during conversation. I don't remember exactly what we were talking about, but we were having a conversation that was definitely exciting. She just casually blurted out about knowing that I tucked to the right. It completely caught me off guard. I was feeling surprised, embarrassed, defensive, and turned on. When I asked how she knew that, she said "because I can literally see your dickhead. Trust me, us girls notice these things." I was soooo embarrassed and self conscious at that moment. However, I've jerked off many times thinking about that conversation. From that point on, I always carried my books in front of my crotch at school.

Most guys I know and knew my whole life have been circumcised, so I never thought about it much. But once I started seeing guys with foreskin more often the thought did kind of cross my mind. They take their underwear off and still have a covering, but when I take mine off, everything is out in the open. There is nothing left to hide.

Well put. I am only seeing cut guys online, but it does strike me as an uncut man. Also in mundane situations, someone walking in on the guy changing or naked, it's all out in the open and often in vivid hues, depending on the extent of the two-toned effect the circumcision can give.

Circumcision was essential for me as the skin no longer stretched well by my late twenties looking back,, being circumcised is totally fine

I do during a sexual encounter with an intact partner, both in terms of the more “exposed” appearance of my glans, and knowing that his penis has function and sensation that mine doesn’t.

I never gave it any thought. Been that way all my life. Some folks aren't. No big deal to me either way.

Uh, no. It is what it is.

I don't see it as being more naked, just slightly different. Not sure how many people even look or notice one way or the other.
