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

This guy looks like a cross between being circumcised and not!!! 😃

I think @agracier summed it up with these comments -

Those of you who are cut, can never have it undone. And when done immediately after birth, you have no memory of it either. So there is never anything at all you can do about it.

But those who are not circumcised can be future targets - especially youngsters who again have no say in the matter. Or older men under pressure from a partner for instance, be it for social, personal or religious reasons.

As @CJ1999 said, there is a consensus (at least among those circumcised men who have commented so far, and I note that they are all Americans unless I've overlooked someone) that the question hasn't even occurred to them, or at least that it has never been a real consideration.

With all due respect @DrZ, the question WAS asked of circumcised men ...

Indeed it was, you are correct. I think what I should have said was that perhaps men who were circumcised later in life (and not from birth) might have different opinions as they have experienced both states rather than circumcision being all they have ever known.

There is also the question of what is the majority condition for the society/culture in which they live. Someone circumcised in the USA will be in the majority, whereas that wouldn't be the case here in the UK and much of the rest of the world.

I asked my circumcised husband how he feels if someone sees his glans and he said if they see my dick they see my dick. He doesn't care what part they see.

It is all good

i doesn't matter to the owner of the penis naked is naked just my 2 cents

"With the foreskin, I feel like the most private part of my body (my glans) is at least concealed. Your thoughts?"

So showing your penis isn't the most private part, but your glans is? - how about about exposing your asshole - it doesn't have a foreskin and apparently isn't the most private part of your body. Once you've pulled your pants down and exposed your genitals, foreskin or not, what diff would it make? Like Susie's husband said: "..if they see my dick, they see my dick".

By the way, circumcision is declining in the US.

Lots of articles on the pros and cons of circumcision. Fold back the hype (no pun intended) and google it!!

CJ1999: No, he got circumcised when he was about 6-7. The surgery was a shock to the both of us, since I feared it would be done one me. I recall us comparing our wee-wees after, it was very impressive. However at the time we hardly knew the use of the penis except for peeing... The drunk discussion was later, after my cousin started his sex life. He complained of lack of sensitivity and irritations and injuries (little cuts), particularly during masturbation — basically girls would injure him during handjobs and he himself had to be careful.

Given that I was circumcised at birth, I know no other way to feel. I guess my thought here is, what difference does it make? I am happy with being circumcised, and there is a considerable base of medical evidence that circumcision reduces penile odor, and reduces the chances of contracting an STD, if one washes the "affected" past immediately after intercourse. I am very happy that I was circumcised at birth, and therefore have no memory of the pain that must accompany the operation. I remember a Navy buddy who got circumcised at the insistence of his fiancee, and spent several days in pure agony.

Really don't see why it would, once your clothes are off, you are naked.

As a child, I can remember changing into my swimming suit on the beach vs the changing rooms. I felt reluctant at first but my mother reassured that I was not naked. She commented that as long as my foreskin was covering the "head" of my penis (glans) that I was not naked.

FYI - your mom lied to you.

If you have a foreskin and it is retracted, especially while you are naked, the glans will still be wet and therefore feel cold on exposure to air. That makes an uncircumcised male that more aware of his foreskin and penis and hence in many cases more naked or embarrassed. Because there is a difference in actual physical sensation/feeling, not only in your mental image of yourself.

The foreskin retracted or not being naked makes as much sense as feeling that you're not being seen because you have your eyes closed.

There is absolutely no questioning that and what a horribly stupid thing to say to a child.

OK, real simple. Are you wearing clothes? No? Then you are NAKED!

I do not feel naked as a circumcised man but decided I wanted my foreskin back and began to restore my foreskin manually instead of surgery and such. I am working on getting almost full coverage (CI-8 or CI-9) when erect and so far I now have complete coverage and a turtle effect when flaccid even when I pee. Even an uncut guy thought I was uncut which made my day. I tried quite a few different devices, ie: P.U.D., DTR, CAT II Q, and TLC Tugger and found the DTR to be one of the easiest and best devices for me. I can also add weights to it for a stronger pull. You can check it out in my album. The feeling of having some foreskin as I restore definitely is more enjoyable for me and I feel it also makes me more sensitive.

I've never understood why some people think an uncircumcised penis looks better than a circumcised penis. When erect, the foreskin on an uncircumcised penis retracts over the glans, making it look very similar to an erect circumcised penis.

Actually, some do and some don't to varying degrees - and there is no "should" about whether it happens or not.

I don't know about other uncircumcised penises, but my foreskin retracts when I'm erect. I assumed most were the same.

Nope, there is variation. There is at least one discussion thread where this is "covered", and I make no apology for the pun. 😁 I'll try to find it.

This is the thread I was thinking of -

So is foreskin supposed to be like wearing a “cape” ? Then does that mean wearing a condom (raincoat) is also not considered being naked ?

Slightly off topic but while I am being a smart ass I guess if I covered my nips with bandaids and walked around like that then I should not feel naked ?

See how ridiculous this seems ? ???

I have no point of reference...

The question was: 'more naked', as in, is there a difference in degree?

And like your analogy with breasts and nipples, obviously the law often makes exactly that distinction. In many jurisdictions strippers have to wear something over their nipples to conform to not showing naked breasts. There is therefore some obvious form of degree of intensity involved.

But actually the question is a bit flawed, since circumcised men are used to their condition, especially when done after birth. A better question would have been something along the lines of: 'men, do you feel more naked when your foreskin is retracted?'

I was circumcised at birth. I did not even know what an uncircumcised penis was or looked like until I was around 12 years old when I saw a porn magazine of guy who was not circumcised. Both my older brother and father were circumcised and they were the only penises I had seen in real life up to that point. I was wondering how did this guy in the magazine keep his skin pulled over his cock and then one of my friends explained circumcision to me.

So being circumcised is all I have ever known and when I am seen walking around in the gym locker room naked being circumcised is not relevant to me vs. seeing another guy who is not circumcised.

No clothes on and seeing full frontal genitals is naked- circumcised or not.

The question was: 'more naked', as in, is there a difference in degree?

That's like saying a woman is "more pregnant" at one time during her pregnancy than another.

Naked and pregnant are conditions where you ARE or you AREN'T. There is NO DEGREE in either situation.

I am circumcised and gay. I find circumcised penises sexier than uncircumcised because I like seeing the penile head fully exposed, hard or soft. But that's just me.

When I'm totally unclothed, I'm naked - period. If I have clothes on and exposed my penis, then I'm "exposed", not naked. Same with my butt. I don't really see where an uncircumcised man would feel less naked with a foreskin, but not having foreskin since early infancy, I wouldn't know.

Also, when I give oral sex, I like to know that the penis is clean beforehand and not harboring dried urine, hair or other gross stuff under the foreskin. I know most guys are meticulous about maintaining good hygiene with their private areas, but some guys...

No offense but seems like a silly question to me.

Feelings are subjective, so why would it be silly to ask if someone feels more naked with an exposed foreskin?

If a person were standing at attention naked and then told to bend over over, legs spread wide so that the buttcheeks were open, please don't try and convince me that that wouldn't be more embarrassing than the at attention posture.

In both the person is naked, but in one posture subjectively more so than in the other.

I know it’s just semantics, but I’d say that example is more exposed or embarrassed, but not more ‘naked.’

Sorry, this has to be one of the most stupid questions I have ever seen. Whether you are or not circumsized you can not feel or know unless you look at the penis in question. Feeling naked??????????????

Oh if you are feeling naked go to the local golf store and they sell covers for you puuters. Maybe they have a small one you can wear so not feeling naked.

@luvmawater. I totally see your point. Just like you I have been circumcised since infancy and that's all I have ever known so I am more used to seeing penises without foreskins. I also believe circumcised penises are sexy. I also feel when I am naked I am exposed and that's it. Have to agree about males with foreskins and the hygiene issue, too. The few friends of mine that are not cut have briefly mentioned that they need to take extra precautions due to the foreskin.
