How is your circumcision?

Is your penis head always exposed? How did you find out your status? Did parents ever explain it? Did you carry on the tradition?

As a kid i was confused because i didn't understand why my cock didn't look like my Dad's and others around me. With me being uncut and them being circumcised. I liked how their cocks looked. When i discovered i could pull my foreskin back and expose my glans i was kind of chuffed. In all honesty i wish i had been circumcised but i have grown to enjoy my foreskin.

@Spengle Jewish family?

I’m circumcised and have probably seen uncircumcised guys in the locker rooms, etc., but never noticed it. I just remember hearing jokes about telling someone’s religion if their pants were too tight Much is based on the norm you are exposed to, for a long time I thought everyone was circumcised because it was the norm where I grew up. Expect others in other countries thought the opposite where circumcision was not the norm. Perhaps seeing the “other way” was surprising moreso than threatening to many

@Rigel , I agree with you. A lot of child or teens were circumcised because it was the norm.

I got the high and tight circumcision like 80% of male in USA It like a tradition in this country.

My penis really grows a lot in length when it changes from flaccid to erect. The head is always fully exposed when flaccid, but there is a roll of skin behind the corona. When I am erect, the skin fits very tightly with only a tiny amount of skin movement. I was circumcised with the Plastibell, so, I have only a fine line where the two skin types are bonded, rather than the darkly pigmented scars that result from Gomco or Mogen clamp done circumcisions.

@exam_doc Seems like "high and tight". How does it feel getting a handjob without lubricant?

@Pecan_nutjob no, my scar is too close to the corona to be called “high and tight.” When erect, the scar is only about 1.5 centimeters back from the corona. It is really between “high” and “low.” There is a little bit of skin movement with erection, so I am comfortable having a handjob done for me without lubricant, in fact, that is the way I prefer having it done.

@exam_doc It's not really low either if it's 15 mm away… I've seen circumcision scars almost at the corona.

It's always exposed except when it's cold and my penis is really shrivelled up!

I recall having the surgery but it was not much explained. I think I later saw "circumcision" in a dictionary and realized that it was what had been done to me. I had a conversation with my mother and she told me it had been necessary to fix phimosis.

I don't see why I would have done it to a son unless there was some serious medical reason!

I'm not cut and my mother explained it to me when I was 5 so I wouldn't get any surprises when I started school. The neighbor girl had seen it and said it didn't look like her brother's. I retracted the foreskin and she said "now it does" so I knew he had been. She thought mine was neat and wanted to touch that moveable skin.

I would say you are in between “high and tight” and “low and tight.” It is a great looking penis.

In European countries where circumcision is not the common norm, I have the feeling, at least when I was young, back in the 1960s-70s, that circumcision was seen not so much as threatening , but as being a potentially dangerous condition. It singled one out as part of a minority, one of which - being Jewish - had been a very dangerous category to belong to not all that long ago.

And the second minority - Muslim - was not all that desirable either. It was the beginning of immigration from non-European countries in those years and to say that such immigrants were not looked on too kindly would be an understatement. There was something altogether unsavory about being circumcised back then.

Now things have changed, mostly with gays apparently embracing circumcision more and more. But still, I think that most European parents would think they are playing with fire if they were to circumcise their boys for no medical reason. They may not talk about it openly, but there is always the lingering thought about what a potential marriage partner might think of a cut penis. Circumcising for no medical reasons would be something akin to subtracting from the marriageable attractiveness.

It would not be a topic of open conversation I suppose, but it would be an unspoken and unmentioned notion playing around in the back of parent's minds.

@agracier Right. My mother never called my surgery "circumcision" but rather "surgery for phimosis", and also claimed it was different from the ritual one! I think it was a way for her to reassure herself.

I remember from my last years in high school, must have been 1968 or 69. Our teacher Dutch, who liked to babble on about subjects outside of the actual lesson, to our delight, once told us about what happened to a friend of his. His friend had been in a Muslim country, I forget which but one that was very hostile to Israel at the time. Anyway, his friend was very good at languages, speaking several very well. So well, that the authorities were suspicious of him being Jewish, because after all, in their eyes, as the clichés go, Jews are said to be excellent linguists.

Now since Belgian travel papers or any official papers of any kind for that matter, make no mention of a person's religion, the only way the man was allowed to leave that Arabic country was to show he wasn't Jewish was to show he was not circumcised. He was taken to a side room, given the look over and then the customs officers or security officers, accepted that his Belgian passport was legit. He wasn't circumcised and hence not Jewish.

A silly anecdote in a way, but also somewhat ominous to us. It was a sort of cautionary tale about being possibly mistaken about your religion because of your circumcision status.

The teacher didn't tell it in any political manner or such, but more in a humorous manner. As a way to get out of a tight fix in a Muslim country and a bit as an embarrassed occasion.

I myself took it as a cautionary tale. That coupled with my mother's often repeated stories about what happened to her Jewish friends during the war.

Is your penis head always exposed ?

yes

How did you find out your status ?

circumcised age six

Did parents ever explain it?

No, the Doctor did

Did you carry on the tradition?

no boys of mine own, but I would have

Even though I am circumcised, I did not know what circumcision was until I was in my late teens. It was never discussed. No one ever explained it to me (There was no Internet then). I had it done to me as baby and knew nothing about it. All of the the other penises I saw in the YMCA or school showers growing up here in the US looked like mine. I vaguely remember hearing the term circumcision on TV in my early teens as some type of a medical procedure done on the penis, but didn't really understand it. I heard more about it in my late teens and looked up some medical books in my college library. I was a little bit shocked to find out that part of penis had been cut off and that the dark ring around my penis was the scar from it.

@DLanders your experience was exactly like mine except my enlightenment occurred at age 13.

@exam_doc @DLanders Have either of you considered restoring for foreskin?

@JacobNC absolutely not. I prefer a circumcised penis.

@exam_doc @DLanders Have either of you considered restoring for foreskin?

No. I have only known a circumcised penis. I am quite happy with it.

I find it interesting that American men often learn they had had a surgery done on them early on only fairly late in their life and that Europeans who were circumcised for medical reasons claim it was not really circumcision, due to religious associations of that word.

My penis has been circumcised since the time I arrived in the United States, and at the time, I did not know much about circumcision, except perhaps for the fact that it was a religious rite or practice carried out for whatever reason. Still, I did not know what it entailed.

After discovering the presence of a foreskin during my physical examination, the family doctor suggested performing a prophylactic and hygienic circumcision, and my mother and stepfather quickly agreed to the procedure. Although they never directly discussed the reasons for having the operation, the urologist who performed the procedure just a few days later explained what circumcision was and why my penis had to be circumcised.

Although he initially described the procedure as a simple removal of a small portion of the skin that covered the very tip of my penis, he removed the whole foreskin leaving the entire glans permanently exposed, and it has been fully exposed ever since.

Since so many of you are curious about circumcision outcomes, here's a drawing of my penis, from a photograph:

Interesting, but why don't you publish a photo of your penis when you show a lot of photos of vulvas in the same album. This would be a step towards gender equality.

I like the way my head is fully exposed and nicely bulbous with a good grove between it and the shaft. My mom when I was young began explaining how being circumcised was good, but I wasn't paying attention since everyone I knew was circumcised...

@enough Yes. When I was younger and had better erections my shaft was quite thicker than my glans.

I’ve never given much thought to it even when I was Growing up. As far as how it looks, having an exposed head always seemed normal. I’ve spent some time nude in Europe and I was Obviously in the penis minority but I never Cared much. I’ve posted quite a few galleries if my circumcision status is of interest to anyone else.
