Do your friends and loved ones know you are a circumsexual?

I have never told anybody this, even my wife. I wish I could.

Circumsexual--a person with an interest in circumcision.

Why are you afraid to tell your wife. Are you afraid she will think you are gay or have an interest in porn that she doesn't approve of?

My current wife kinda found out. She found out I had talked to a guy and set up a meet up (that didn't actually occur) very early in our relationship and confronted me on it. I had to come clean that I'm not into men but am infatuated with foreskin and circumcision.

We joined a swing club and met another couple to play with but he was cut and had a bunch of piercings so i had no interest in that.

It doesn't interest me a bit but I did come across a few very erotic stories on circlist.com. One about a girl whose little brother was not cut but her mother made him keep it retracted while swimming in their pool with the neighbors boys who were cut. She was appointed to make sure he was skun back and to do it for him. The mothers would often compare their boys penises while she was holding his retracted. When he became a teen mom decided to have him cut and sis went along to see what was done. Then she had to change his bandages at home and inspect it for any problems which led to her inspecting his penis for years afterward.

There were others about aunts doing pecker checks and even circumcisions.

I think its interesting. I like to know if a guy is cut, or uncut. Yes I am gay.... I do like to see how sensitive uncut guys are. I find it interesting as to why a guy is not cut also.

Pretty much everyone in my closer circle of friends know I choose to get circumcised as an adult and that I did it for purely sexual / cosmetic reasons. Last last couple of long term female partners knew I had a fairly serious interest in circumcision that went right back to childhood.

Of course now living here in Australia, circumcision is still relatively common and accepted practice by many families and I think preferred by most women if they are honest.

My work colleagues know I am circumcised, and very pro-circ, my close friends I have met because I am circumsexual !

and I have been a circumcision fetishist ever since my own circ, thank you doc 😃

I've mentioned circumcision to a few friends when they know they're having boys, but not the detailed level of my interest.

I had (she moved 😢 ) one friend who was from Canada and had her son over there. One day when I was over visiting, he was potty training and I made a slight comment about "so I see circumcision is still common there?" and we got into a bit of a discussion about it - she got a slightly wild look in her eye and talked about her bad experiences with an uncut guy and getting cervical cancer from him.. before finishing "plus I just like cut guys more".

I think she was probably the closest friend who might also have a bit of a circ fetish, but part of it is that it's a really private thing, I don't necessarily want friends who have similar interests to it, it's a unique thing to me

My wife knows it's a bit of a 'thing' for me, but we don't really discuss it and it's not part of our sex life. I don't think she has any idea how frequently I think about it though. Outside of her, nobody in my real world life knows.

Back in the day when there books and bookstores, the first thing I would do was look up circumcision in the index of any book I was browsing. If it was there, I would read the page, get an erection, and buy the book. Everything to do with circumcision, circumcising, and foreskins fascinated me, or actually obsessed me. I wanted to know which of my friends still had a foreskin, and why (not many of course, mostly the few immigrants back in the 70s and 80s). And as I grew my obsession grew, I wanted to know what kind of circumcision, the placement of the scar, how much was cut off, whether the frenulum was left, and which of the many mechanical devices might have been used to achieve that result. Now, It is the very word that fascinates me. Like many, I was circumcised as an infant, I had no choice in the matter. It was not that my culture demanded it, just what happened to boys born into the society in the United States at that time had done to them. Personally, I love being circumcised. But the real story is that, at one time, someone took a scalpel to my penis and removed the foreskin. This is perfectly legal, parents have this right, doctors do it, and society condones, even approves, circumcision. I appreciate the different ways that men’s foreskins were removed and the different devices used to remove foreskins. I am not trying to change how anyone else talks of this subject, I still consider myself to be "circumsexual” but I really want to acknowledge that the way I am is because someone decided to cut the foreskin off my penis when I was born.

It's kind of too bad mothers don't discuss it more, it IS an important part of the boys life and the mother's attitude has quite an effect on how he feels about himself and his penis. Because my mother was so adamant about not having me cut as a baby I've been against it most of my life. I feel it is about the same either way since I desensitized my glans so it's no longer painful to touch. That leads me to believe there is just as much pleasure to be derived either way. Perhaps my mother could have showed me how to desensitize my glans but then I suppose they would find a way to put her in jail for that.

There was a man and wife who owned my favorite coffee shop. He went in to get a vasectomy and came back circumcised too. We had a great time saying she took him in to be fixed and got him circ'd while he was out.

That is the very definition of culture. Having things (like circumcision) done, because that was how society thought it should be done.

Nope. I've mentioned circumcision in passing when appropriate, but I don't press the matter. It's such an out-there kink that my friends would probably think that I'm weirder than I already am...

I was a senior in high school when a friend asked if I had been circumcised. I was the only one of my classmates that still sported my foreskin. My friend commented that he glad to be rid of that nasty foreskin and was proud to be circumcised. Not wanting to be the odd man out, I said "Sure, all males are circumcised". Conversation ended.

Wonder how he knew it was so nasty if, as was most likely, he had been cut at birth. It must be wonderful to be so smug about things over which we have no control or knowledge ... ha ha

I cannot imagine anyone asking such a personal and inappropriate question (imo).

Me neither. I don't think anyone has ever asked me if I were circumcised or not either. Not even a doctor. At least not that I can remember.

The only person who ever mentioned anything about my condition, was my father once during a Christmas dinner of all places. He just had to make a remark about my mother and him being at odds about what to do with boys when me and later my brother were born. It pissed my mother off and got my wife involved, as she said she was the one who knew more about my condition down there than anyone else at the table ... ha ha.

Talk about subjects for a conversation around the Christmas table ... I wished I had been able to disappear up the chimney ...

Thank you agracier and thank you exam doc for your comments and support.

LOL! That might trump religion and politics. ?

My mother took a special interest in my uncut penis. She checked me after bathing, and applied coconut oil to help with retraction. We had an open household, so we were all nude most of the time. My father was uncircumcised, so I always felt comfortable being intact, just like dad. During one of our family meetings, my sister and I were given an in-depth male anatomy lesson. Our mother demonstrated on our dad, how the prepuce functions, both flaccid and erect. We obviously had a very open and unusual childhood, but in retrospect, came away much better prepared for our adult sexuality

So sorry, but "circumsexual" is as dumb as metrosexual, vegosexual, backscratchosexual, musicosexual, steakosexual, or since we are near Thanksgiving, turkeysexual.

Turkeysexual. That is funny. I wonder what that would be like. I wonder what life would be this time of year. I guess about the same as being pig sexual or hog sexual at Christmas. I wonder if a turkey would have time to be any sexual before "THE EVENT". I would think were are all musicosexual at some point. To each there own music on Zity biz for sure. Thank's Miss Susie.

No one knows about my erotic (and multidimensional - psychological, social) interests in foreskin and circumcision. This sphere of my life is so private and only lived in my head and online. Even if something close to the topic comes up in a conversation I feel paralysed to say something.

Maybe it is my bias, but I find some friends joking around those topics "more than ordinary person would" and wonder if they are also into it one way or another.

But even, when I could discuss some of my kinks openly with someone I only stuck to more "benign" ones. I am not sure if I could put it in right words, not to be off-putting. I think this fetish can have many flavours and even finding someone like-minded online is challenging.

Thus, I am always happy to hear about thoughts and experiences of people here.
