Finding out your friends' circumcision status

Hi Everyone,

I'm wary of starting a thread about cut and uncut, since I love both and don't want to provoke a debate...

But - a big turn on for me is guessing whether or not my male friends are circumcised and then finding out!

Sometimes I've had a peek whilst at a urinal with a mate. Sometimes their girlfriend has let slip - for instance, my mate Dave's girlfriend got a bit drunk and indiscreet in the pub the other week and mentioned Dave's 'really long foreskin'.

I'd always assumed my flatmate was uncut, till earlier this year I caught him getting out of the shower and got a glimpse of his circumcised penis.

Does anyone else find this kind of "is he or isn't he?" hot?

I admit it is sometimes a curious matter. Growing up (1960's and 70's) my friends and I messed around a bit (Normal teenage stuff.. jerking off together and/or jerking each other off.) Me and my best friend (We had literally know each other from the cradle on) were the first to discover that our penises looked almost exactly alike. (Both of us were uncut, which was atypical for the time.) Most of my other friends were cut. There was always that "I wonder..." in the back of my mind.

Please don't flame me for posting into this thread...for whatever reason. Though I am mostly a lesbian, me and my friends, straight women friends, also try and figure this out. Yep, we find it hot. There is debate among us as to whether or not this can be determined if a guy is wearing the right clothes, such as thin cotton trousers in the summer time with either regular boxers or commando. Or during the summer when a guy is wearing a Speedo or bike shorts. Some of us think you can sometimes tell if a guy is cut under these circumstances, but, in all honesty, it's only been based on anecdotal evidence so far! The other thing we do is look at pictures from magazine and try to decide if a guy is cut and also how well endowed he might be. Do guys do this kind of silly stuff about women or other guys much?

The other thing one of my straight male friends said was that he can't stop himself from looking when he is at the urinal if he see out of the corner of his eye that the guy next to him is well-endowed.

Not a friend but a coworker. Ran into him in the gym locker room and was not surprised to see he was cut (I sort of assume most guys born in the 70s in the USA are cut until I learn otherwise).

Oh yes! This is the main thing I wonder about with any guy I think is cute or hot. I not only want to know whether or not his penis is circumcised but also the exact look of his circumcision. I am interested in how tightly a guy is circumcised, how far back from the head of the penis his scar is located, the color of the scar, the colors of the skin types on either side of the circumcision scar, the shape and color of the head, and the appearance of his meatus. I love not only the look of the circumcised penis but also the whole concept that the head of the penis is a structure that was not intended to be visible but has been bared artificially by an operation having been done. I also like trying to see evidence of a circumcised penis through clothing or underwear. It is so hot when the flared corona of the head can be seen through fabric.

What is really frustrating is getting a look at a penis you had wanted to see and coming away unsure if it is circumcised or uncircumcised with the foreskin retracted. This situation occurs more often when you are getting a peek at a urinal since the uncircumcised guys often will retract to urinate. Usually you can tell almost for certain because of the difference in the color and texture of the head of the uncircumcised penis but occasionally there is an uncircumcised penis with a dry head that has a flat texture. Also, some guys who are circumcised a little loosely will hold the penis while urinating slightly behind the head and push some loose skin toward the head making it tough to distinguish it from an uncircumcised penis with retracted foreskin. The key with this latter group is to try and get a look at a circumcision scar. Anyway, it is very frustrating to get that long awaited peek and be unsure.

Really, the only people I'm curious about are men who were circumcised after becoming sexually active. I was cut as an infant, so I have no clue what it's like to be intact. Guys that are intact have no idea what it's like to be cut. I'm curious about the difference.

Being active in both the nudist and BDSM communities, I see lots of cocks.

If you are uncut, with some diligence and perseverance, it's possible to devise some sort of retracting device or ring or bandage or whatever (you can find ideas and suggestions on the web) and then keep the foreskin retracted for an indefinite amount of time. This gives a fairly good approximation I would, think of what it feels like to be circumcised.

At first things will be extremely uncomfortable, but after a while the glans will become desensitized, just as if you were cut at birth ...

So from what I make of it, those who are not circumcised do have an advantage in this regards ... they can, to a degree, experience both conditions.

Please don't flame me for posting into this thread...for whatever reason. Though I am mostly a lesbian, me and my friends, straight women friends, also try and figure this out.

I'm certainly not going to flame you - I think it's very hot that you share this interest... ; )

Agree with some of the posters here that standing at a urinal with a guy isn't always a foolproof way to observe their circumcision status. Sometimes it's great though - I've frequently stood next to a very good friend who never pulls back his skin to urinate, so I've been able to sneak a look at his foreskin and average-sized endowment.

Anecdotal evidence is sometimes really good. For example, another friend of mine's girlfriend admitted in conversation that she "wasn't sure if he was circumcised" the very first time they had sex. It turns out he has a naturally quite short foreskin, the kind that doesn't quite completely cover his glans when his penis is soft.

Knowing his sort of information about my male friends is a big turn on.

I think guessing is fun. I am uncut here, and my foreskin is tight. Trying to work on loosening it up some. My friends were all cut when I was younger. I could tell by the way they drew penises. They did not look like mine.

I to like to know if my friends are cut or uncut. I am not shy when I am in the men's room with them, if they want to look fine with me, but if you look at me, I am going to look at them too. Most of my friends are cut.

As a kid I could always find out when we changed at the swimming pool or PE at school. As an adult you just have peek at the urinal or wait until you have sex with them.

Do you look at other guy's penises in a way that makes it obvious that you are looking at them?

Some friends of mine of Jewish or Muslim origin expressed bitterness at having been circumcised in their youth, without their consent (they were too young to have any say in the matter).

Also (but I was aware of it) my cousin, as a teenager, complained to me about having been circumcised at the age of 6 because he had a phimosis and his mom freaked out and thought that otherwise he would get terrible infections. He even showed me the result (I had to show mine, of course).

Born in the late '60s and growing up in the American Midwest all of my friends in my generational cohort were circumcised. We'd see each other's penises with regularity, a number of us playing with each other's penises into our teens. Boys will be boys.

Our penises were strikingly similar. I believe we were all circumcised with the same device (Gomco?). Heck almost all of us were born at the same "baby factory."

It wasn't until I was in my late teens that I understood anything about uncut penises. Aside from my father's I don't recall having seen one live until I was in college. From then and to this day I always try and get a glimpse of other guy's packages when at a urinal or in a public shower or locker room. Partly to see cut vs. uncut, but mostly because I just like seeing and comparing penises in general. The foreskin or lack of is just part of the comparison.

So yes, I do often imagine what a man's penis might look like if I've only ever seen him clothed.

Most guys are uncut here in the UK. A few of my co workers were cut, one tends to observe these things when they are standing next to you at a urinal......

Surprising how much foreskins vary as well.

I grew up and still uncircumcised, like a large number of boys in my peer group. There are two very large military bases located near my town, so many boys born overseas were not circumcised at birth. In school, it was common to see a someone penis while changing for PE. During boy's health/sex Ed., we were 12 or 13 the topic was about being circumcised or not circumcised. I never knew this fact, my friend tells the class that he had been circumcised over summer vacation. He told was why (tight foreskin) and everything about being circumcised. Nobody expected what happened next: he just stood up and unzipped and showed us his newly circumcised penis. When I got to college , we had a communal showers no hiding everyone pretty much knew who was cut and uncut.

Hello Owl prof, During Summer vacation between grades 3 and 4, a friend was circumcise. The first day of grade 4 my friend wanted to show me his "circumcision". I had no idea what he was talking about so we proceeded to the boys bathroom whereby he dropped his pants and showed me his penis. He explained to me how the doctor had cut off his foreskin. He was now a "MAN". I was horrified by the experience. Why would a doctor cut off his foreskin? My relationship with my friend soon end for fear that the same would happen to me.

I am told that we that have been sniped/cut are the lucky ones. I had never given this a thought but evidently since we are cut and your junk rubs against our under garments it has de-sensatized to a certain degree. I'm told that guys that have not been cut have a certain advantage over us because their glanz is more sensative than ours. On the other hand they have a tendency to achieve orgasm rather quickly because of the sensativity. Several of my female "conquests" that have had the opportunity of experiencing both said they much prefer the "surgically enhanced" model as compared to the "au natural" anteater model.

PS several have commented also about smell and taste of the protected model.

Musicman - not at all true in my own case. I was cut at 24/25. Not a lot of difference. Sensation is completely a subjective thing - for me it's better now. It was great before too but in a much more generalised way. Now it feels as though all my sensation is concentrated around my scarline, which is a much more intense feeling for me. I prefer it.

You guys are all out of your freaking minds. Men simply have their preferences on how they like their penises handled, and except for the gay guys, I have handled more of them than you have, so here are my observations.

It makes no difference during sexual intercourse if you are circumcised or not.

Some guys cum faster, some slower and it makes no difference if they are circumcised or not.

I know, I have had more men of both types than I would ever admit to my mother.

Susie: Though I suspect there are differences in masturbation technique, for instance?

What is the obsession of some members about circumcision? It simply isn't that fascinating. You either are or you aren't. Who cares?

You know the different masturbation techniques as well as anybody and I'm not going to write a thesis on how men masturbate.

If you aren't, the at times over the top smugness of those who are, can be very enervating. There seems to be this sense of being special, that is also so obvious when circumcision is a religious matter. The thing is that that sense of superiority also seeps through when circumcision is a social or familial matter.

There is also the way that circumcised men seem to wish to inflict the procedure on everyone: their offspring to begin with, on other people's offspring as well or on other societies and cultures - like for instance in Africa or other regions where circumcision campaigns funded by NGO's (often religious) are so prevalent.

And yet, circumcised males are in the minority on Earth. I would also think that being physically genitally altered when under-age is nothing much to be proud of. It's not as if it were a personal accomplishment.

Well, this is a fetish site (isn't it?) - one of my interests is the differences in men's penises, guessing what they might look like, then taking down their underwear and finding out. Presence or absence of a foreskin is a big part of that.

I said in my original post:

...a big turn on for me is guessing whether or not my male friends are circumcised and then finding out!

That's why I'm "obsessed" - thinking about it turns me on and makes my uncircumcised dick hard. ; )

I really like the idea of asking my friends if they're circumcised. Also, would be great to ask about their penis in general. What's it like? And, then we could show each other our penis for comparison. That wold be really fun!

Unfortunately, I don't have any friends who would be open to this. At least I don't think I do.

That is something that adolescents would more readily do. Us serious, grown-up men don't do that sort of thing ... ha ha

I would never ask the men I know socially if they were circumcised or not. I could not imagine doing so.

But yes, in the gym locker room I do sneak peaks at the guys who do not cover up and allow everybody to see them. I would have to say that I rarely see uncut guys and I think the trend from the 1950's onward was to circumcise baby boys at birth. I am not sure if that is true today but I have a feeling most still are in USA.
