Who knows the status of your circumcision?

Who knows that you are circumcised? Or you're not? Have you talked about it with these people?

I exclude the close family or people you have had sex with.

I can think of about 15 of my friends who have seen my penis over the years and I've seen at least a glimpse of theirs. I am circumcised, as are all of them. With some I have discussed circumcision briefly, and all are happy they underwent it. I have 1 friend I know who is not circumcised, but we have not seen each other's. He is happy being uncircumcised.

All of my doctors know of course, but most of my co-workers know as well. The reason being that many of them are Jewish and having spent a lot of time with Jewish people throughout my life I tend to know a lot about the religion. One of my co-workers jokingly said one day that I might as well convert.

To which I replied, I don't think I'd like the Bris. That, of course, led to questions about whether I'm really uncircumcised or not. I let them know that I'm intact, which led to some interesting looks from some of my female co-workers.

@justins Really? (about the female coworker)

Who knows. Well I'm jewish so everyone knows. As for my Christian and Muslim friends, they know because I jewish. My mother knows and certainly my wife knows. Is the anyone else I should tell?

As for my bi friends. Some know and some will find out.

@Pecan_nutjob Yeah, we are pretty open at work, it is a medical practice so we talk about lots of stuff. Maybe it's my imagination, but I got the feeling that a few of the women were curious about foreskins. Maybe being Jewish they have never seen one.

I'm kind of an online exhib, so I think a lot of people 😃

Pretty much every person who has seen me naked in the front knows that I'm circumcised -- doctors and nurses, guys in the lockerroom, showers, roommates, partners, siblings, etc. So far beyond the sexual partners. Probably people who have seen me in my underwear as well in certain circumstances.

If the question is who beyond those that have seen, the answer is anyone who asks. I'm sure that I've discussed this with people, as I don't think it an overly personal topic so am willing to talk to almost anyone about it when asked (though it isn't exactly a conversation starter.)

Besides my spouse, a whole collection of massage therapist friends, and of course my urologist of many years and her nurse, who always smiles as she handles my circumcised cock almost reverently as she injects the numbing gel, and then places the clamp on it to insure that the gel doesn’t leak out. I count myself fortunate to have a nurse at that practice who seems to enjoy handling men’s penises day after day to prepare them for their cystos. Counting down the weeks to my year end cystoscopy appointment.

My wife, my old girl friends, the night nurse at the hospital who placed the urinal bottle on me and put my penis into it while I was in bed. She also recognized me from my job as a school crossing guard so now she's seen all of me. She's from Russia and she's not afraid to look at my genitals while we were talking. That was so refreshing after so many medical people seem to avoid even peeking including my own doctor.

Thank you for your answers.

Some doctors know that I’m circumcised, but I've already talked about this in other threads.

In my family, apart my parents and my brother, there are a few people (grandmother, aunts, cousins) who saw me naked when I was a child, but I don't remember talking about circumcision with them.

I also don't remember talking about it with other people as an adult, other than during intimate relationships. One of my work colleagues saw me naked in a sauna.

My father once said that he talked about circumcision to his friends that I also knew. He learned that one of them was circumcised and he certainly mentioned that I was.

@justins That may be the case. In the United States, even without taking into account the Jewish factor, a vast majority of males are circumcised at birth and thus many women never see an uncircumcised male.

We had the symmetrical issue in our family. A cousin had to be circumcised for medical reasons at age 7. My mother had never seen a circumcised male (I suspect she had not seen many penises either in general; recall this was more than 15 years before the Internet started to be available for customers) and she was curious about it. She asked her sister, the boy's mother, if she could have a look. Her sister demonstrated on the boy how the remaining skin could now move easily so that things could be washed. He was mortified.

I'm not circumcised and I never really talked about it with friends but most have seen me naked when changing after sports so they would know my status.

While reading this thread I remembered an incident that occurred years ago. During my twenties and thirties I modeled for art classes at several colleges and local drawing groups. So, come to think of it hundreds of people I didn't know were aware of my circumcision status.

One incident in particular stayed with me. There was a local library drawing group that I modeled for that was run by a rather outspoken older woman. She apparently had some local fame as an artist and she seemed to take a certain delight in saying controversial things during the session as she was teaching. The first time I modeled for the group she said something like, 'Now this is a fine opportunity for us to depict a classical rendition of the male form. As you can see our model is not circumcised, which was also the case for much of the classical art work that involved the male form."

There was a lot of blushing on the part of the younger artists, which I think was part of the reason the older woman made this observation.

Born in Belgium I was not circumcised, it was simply not the tradition back then (and still isn't) and I know that my mother vehemently opposed it. But I did live in the US for 10 years and then came back when 13.

That made many friends assume I was circumcised like a typical American. I know from conversations with my wife, that apparently some Belgian friends were curious, especially the wives/gfs. My wife enlightened them as my true uncut status via the old gossip grapevine.

How far it went, I have no way of knowing, but let's say that anyone I consider a friend most likely knows.

With the noted exclusions from OP (I would also include medical providers in that group):

- Several guys I went to school with know I’m not circumcised. My schools growing still had communal showers in use. So any guy who was in my gym class would likely know.

- Similarly I had a summer camp that still used communal showers so any of the other male campers who were there at the same time.

- Some of our friends who have had boys and the topic of circumcision decision came up before the kid was born. Specifically female friends of my wife, because I assume they know from her telling them. So they then asked about it when they were expecting a boy and had to make the decision.

@dahardy9 Very interesting that they asked before making the decision. What were their questions? What conclusion did they reach?

Our family were nudists and rarely wore clothes around the house or in our yard. We were nude with relatives and friends and never really felt out of place. I was uncut so virtually everyone.

I think only my immediate family and previous doctors know my status. Maybe a very small handful of kinky guys outside of medical settings too. I could say what my status is here, but why ruin the surprise! 😉

The whole damn town.

The whole damn town.

@Cedar, I too have made no secret of my chiseled phallus. In acts of pure daring (and potentially outright exhibitionism) I even posted pics of it here, in all it's cut glory, for all zity'ites to see

@MarcNY, I haven't done that. I was referring to the fact that it seems like the whole town seems to be here as members. No dick-pics for me. You'd need a macro lens anyway.

@Cedar, I used to have a hard (pun intended) and fast rule to leave Mr Happy off social media. I found it to be deliciously naughty when I finally broke that rule.

Who knows I'm uncircumcised?

Apart from guys I've had sexual encounters with online and IRL:

- Parents and doctor as a pre-teen.

- Every guy at school I showered with 12-15

- Friends I've shared rooms with on holidays

- Friends and strangers I've pissed alongside at urinals.

So, lots of guys know I'm uncut, and most will have noticed I'm smaller than average soft too. I used to be shy, less so now.

Just every single person who has ever changed my diaper and paid attention well cleaning my penis or putting barrier cream on it . My diaper is changed between 5-9 X’s per day .

I’m uncut and this would be known by any doctors who have examined me “down there”, anyone I shared a communal shower with at school and anyone who saw me change in the dormitory/locker room at school. Other than on here, I haven’t discussed my circumcision status with anyone.

My mother in law. She was aghast to see, when changing diapers, that our son still had his foreskin, and my wife had to point out that circumcising boys without any medical or religious reason is an American custom not practiced in France, that I was not circumcised and not I had no health problems because of that. It is possible she had told others.

Apart from that, men that have seen me in communal showers or changing rooms.

@Pecan_nutjob

The two main questions (i.e. the questions that all of them asked) some version of is it harder to clean/care for or how do you care for it, and did I get teased for being uncut.

Conclusions: I don’t know about all of them, but there are 2 parents who decided not to circumcise. I’m not sure if our answers were the deciding factor or not. But it’s not a topic I or my wife mind talking about so we’re open to fielding the questions.

I guess just a few doctors and nurses over the years, although I doubt if they took any notice as the majority of men in the UK are uncut.

I'm naked while changing in the gym and my foreskin might be fully retracted after showering, so unless closely studied I would look circumcised at that point. Or on the other hand my foreskin might be forward covering the glans and I would show as uncut. If you are uncut you have the choice...

Circumcision is not a mainstream topic in the UK, I can't ever remember having or hearing a discussion about the subject apart from here on Zity...

Obviously, strangers at gyms where I have showered in the nude know. The doctors know. A couple close friends (and maybe one or two not so close friends) know. It's come up in some one-off conversations, so a coworker or two knows. But that's about it.
