A survey on foreskins and consequences on sexuality

When flaccid, how does your skin cover your glans? https://www.restoringforeskin.org/coverage-index/CI-chart.htm left column

CI-3

when erect, how does your skin cover your glans? https://www.restoringforeskin.org/coverage-index/CI-chart.htmright column

CI-2

if circumcised, how do you compare to the 4 drawings at the top of https://en.zity.biz/index.php?mx=gallery;ox=showalbum;ax=8677 (high+tight, low+tight, low+tight, low+loose)

Somewhere between the 2nd and 3rd sketch. I’m cut moderately high and tight but not overly so.

if circumcised, why and what age were you when surgery was done?

Shortly after birth, for health and cultural reasons.

do you still have your frenulum?

No, it was pretty much completely carved out.

if masturbating without lubricant, do you experience chafing?

Usually not, as I’m able to use short, quick tugs on the remaining shaft skin to bring myself to orgasm. I will use lube occasionally to change things up, or if I’m with a partner.

Circumcised at birth

Soft: CI 2

Hard: CI 2

Frenulum intact and super sensitive

I haven't masturbated without lube since I was a teenager. Why do that? LOL

Circumcised at age 31 because of phimosis

CI-2 both soft and hard.

High and tight

Frenulum removed

No lube required, although I like to apply some moisturiser at the start of a masturbation session

When flaccid: CI-1

When erect: CI-1

Circumcised: low + tight

Circumcision status: circumcised

Circumcision reason: prophylaxis, hygiene

Frenulum: removed

Masturbation: chafing if dry, lubricant required

Flaccid: CI - 1.5?

Erect: CI - 1

Circumcised at birth

Frenulum mostly gone.

Masturbation without lube is fine as long as I don't stroke too hard or for too long.

Uncircumcised

Flaccid C1-6

Erect C1-7

No chafing

I'm not circumcised. Cl-7 or 8 when soft, CL-9 when erect.

Uncircumcised like almost all non islamitic Dutch men

Flaccid CI-9

Erect CI-9

CI-9

I got a tight circumcision at 11

Flacide Cl1

Erection Cl4

CI-2 with frenulum intact. Needs lubrication to avoid chafing. Done as a baby or very young, not sure.

Dr R Chartham found in the 1950s, through the extensive routine examination of male inmates in a prison, that approximately 3% of circumcised males can become sexually aroused when fantasizing about their modified penises. In addition, a more psychologically damaged 1% actively fantasized about the pain associated with circumcision, thus developing a so-called Circumcision Complex and associated psychosis.

I haven’t been circumcised, really wish I had been.

When soft, foreskin coverage Cl-8 (sometimes feel like I’ve got too much foreskin!)

When erect, foreskin coverage halfway between CI-9 and CI-10.

Talking as sociologist here (though from long ago) 3% is an irrelevant percentage in surveys, since that is usually the allowed for deviation in results.

For instance if a surveys indicates that people are split on a question 50-50, it actually means the true and actual number can turn out to be 47-53 or anything in between.

And seriously, I bet that in a prison one can become sexually aroused by just about anything. And the same probably for outside of prison as well.

I'd also say that 3% becoming aroused by their penises is pretty darn low.

I often wonder why people feel that circumcision has to be a total, all-the-way thing.

If there is too much foreskin for whatever reason, actual phimosis or out of aesthetic considerations, why not just find a doctor to trim away a small bit? It's not complicated I would think.

Must have been 30%!

Remember that the doctor must have examined hundreds of men since this would have been a US prison!

Interestingly, some circumcised males need lubrication to masturbate without chafing and some don't. I'd like to know the factors for that.

(Making masturbation uncomfortable actually used to be a motive for circumcision. I think they advocated the "high and very tight" style.)

I thought it was because of the glans being permanently exposed and rubbing on clothing that caused it to toughen up making it like all the other skin. When I decided to desensitize mine I got it so I didn't need lubrication just like all the cut guys I knew. In fact I never did use any while getting it used to being rubbed bare and dry.

Apparently he was just a dumb ass when it came to playing with himself.

@roscoe My cousin complained about chafing not on the glans but on the circumcision scar or nearby.

I’m not circumcised

When flacid it is CI 9,5

When erect i’m CI 9

When masturbating or being masturbated/played with, my foreskin is mostly pulled back completely and I’m not experiencing chafing at all.

Flaccid CI-3

Erect CI-2

Low and moderate tightness

No frenulum remaining

Neonatal circumcision done for cultural conformity.

No skin chaffing when masturbating without lubricant.

- flaccid - CI6-CI7

- erect - CI4

@exam_doc How about masturbation without lubricant, or handjobs?

@Pecan_nutjob nutjob I usually masturbate and receive handjobs without lubricant.

Flaccid CI-9

Erect CI-6

When masturbating I don’t use any lubricants. My foreskin is loose enough that I don’t have any resistance when stroking.

I already answered this in the French forum so I'll give it a go here!

flaccid between CI-1 CI-2

erect CI-2

My penis is intermediate between https://en.zity.biz/gallery/image/160162 and https://en.zity.biz/gallery/image/160161 or between https://en.zity.biz/gallery/image/243055 and https://en.zity.biz/gallery/image/243056 (now I can see the photos not just the thumbnails!)

Frenlum: still have it I think (nice to be able to edit postings)

Consequence: I may get some irritation on the scar! particularly if masturbating too much or if clumsy partner.

Reason: medical (phimosis).

As I have told in other posts, when I was 6 years old I had phimosis surgery. If I hadn't had the surgery, I would have been in CI-9 or maybe even CI-10 situation.

From now on, in the flaccid state I am between CI-4 and CI-7 (it depends on the ambient temperature),

and when erect I am in CI-3 or 4.

Flaccid CI-1

Erect CI-1

circumcised age 6 (recommended for boarding school) Low & Tight + Frenulum removed

Lube is messy + dry causes chafing = avoiding masturbation

@YOLO

I dont understand why you said "" frenulum removed for boarding school '' ???

You had to be cut for to be at this boarding school ???

I thought the post stood for itself, but yes

Before I was circumcised I was pretty much spot on CI7 soft and CI 9 hard and pulled back, without touching it there was almost no hole at the end even erect

Flaccid I’m ci 3.5, it either bunches up just behind the head or just covers over the coronal ridge

Hard I’m ci 4 - there’s still a bit of looseness that can move back and forth (and even a bit over the head) but the head is fully exposed

I’m low and loose - stretched, at the top midpoint, my scar line is maybe 5mm above the base of the glans

I was cut age 30, for lifelong phimosis. I could (with a bit of force) retract when soft but when hard my foreskin would only go back a little bit. When soft the real limiting factor would be my short and thick frenulum. I could, slightly painfully, just about get it back over the head, and the frenulum would then really pull the head down. Took me so long to even realise that it was a problem and then tried a lot of stretching, phi course and then went to the doctors and tried steroid cream.

My frenulum was a big part of the problem (I came very close to just having that removed to see if that would help without a full cut) so was removed. There’s still a couple of tiny bits left and I still have good sensation there

Before I was cut I’d regularly get sores on the underside of my penis from masturbation. Now, very occasionally, if I don’t use lube, I might get a very minor bit of chafing next to where my frenulum was, but it’s far more minor than the old sores on my foreskin there
