I've been contemplating getting circumcised.?

Question

I'm 18 years old, 6 inches uh.. long, and I've been wondering if I should get circumcised. (because being uncircumcised makes things, uh.. a little smelly) I was wondering what other benefits there would be aside from being easier to clean. As well, how long would it take the p***s to get used to the constant openness?

Answer 1

That is a poor reason at best to even begin worrying over a surgery such as this. Smell can be alleviated by proper hygiene, all it takes is a quick five seconds in the shower and you're done. As for the benefits, they are iffy at best. Many claim that circumcision reduces chances of contracting AIDS as well as many other STDs, but the problem with that is that it fails to take into account other factors that affect the infection rates. One factor that always gets forgotten is the time of exposure. If s*x lasted only a few seconds long, yeah, circumcision may help. However, as everyone knows, it doesn't, it can last from as short as 5 minutes to as long as an hour. That is enough time for any disease that a partner has to be transmitted to the other. Another factor in the AIDS/STDs issue are the high risk areas of the p***s. The sensitive skin of  the p***s is one of those risks, as it is easy for diseases to permeate through the skin, or so people claim. If this is true, then circumcision is useless, as the skin on the shaft of the p***s is just as susceptible as the f******n itself, and to my knowledge, I know of no man without that skin nor do I know of any sexual activity that does not involve the insertion of the shaft into the partner. Another risky are is the urethral opening, or pee hole as it's commonly called. This is an opening that leads to the sensitive tissue on the inside of the body, and if there is any tissue that is high risk for disease transmission, it's internal tissue. On a circumcised man, this opening is fully exposed, all the time; on an uncircumcised man, there is at least the f******n to cover it from time to time. Another so called benefit of circumcision is cleanliness. To be blunt, there couldn't be a more stupid reason. Cleanliness is instilled by your parents, and if you're not clean, they've failed to teach you proper care for your body. If they did go through efforts to teach you hygiene, and you're still filthy, that's your fault for not going through the effort to make sure you're clean. Finally, there is a downside to circumcision. Because the glans is exposed to your clothing all the time, desensitization occurs. As you know, the glans is sensitive to touch, and it will sting if touched too much. Imagine that stinging all the time. That is a miserable existence, having to feel that constantly, and the body has ways of remedying that situation. As you know, wounds will scar if in an area that is constantly exposed to the elements, and hands and feet will callous when they are constantly worked. The key connector with a callous and a scar is that they dull sensation to that particular area so that one can continue to function without stressing over pain and irritation. The body dulls the sensitivity of the p***s in a similar fashion. The glans will become thickened, so as to add a layer to dull the nerve endings so that they are not stimulated constantly. This is not something that can be turned on or off, and therefore it affects the sensitivity at all times, and during s*x, this is unacceptable to me, as the whole point of the activity is to get as much pleasure as possible. Anyhow, I do hope you make a choice that suits your needs, and I do hope you take all things into consideration when choosing what to do, and do remember that this is a pricey procedure and is hard to undo.

Answer 2

I was circumcised at age 22 and it was the best thing I ever did.  Rid of the smell, the itchiness and all of the other things that made me uncomfortable.  Don't believe all the nonsense that you see advising against it.   Most of that information is over 60 years  old.  Also females do not have a p***s, so therefore are not the best judge of what is best for the male.  Circumcision will certainly change your life for the better.  It is not painful, you will have some discomfort adjusting, but it is something you can live with.

Answer 3

Definitely don't do it.  It only became popular in America to stop boys masturbating:

Why Americans started circumcising: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X09jPPeog...

Most of the world do not cut - only America which is controlled by the Jews cut there newborns.  So relax you are normal as nature intended- 80% of the world are intact.  This is a crazy religious practice with no benefits and a lot of downsides.

The f******n is the most sensitive part of the p***s.  it also provides the p***s with mobility making it easy to m********e.  Altering the p***s has numerous negative sexual consequences.  Take a look at this site - it explains everything:

Also here is a good blog article on circumcision - it has pictures:

Answer 4

Hay mate. Everybody's junk (cut or uncut) gets a little funky if you are an active dude. When you've got skin, obviously you need to pull it back and wash your glans.. and pull it back to take a p**s... but from thereon, it's no different to being cut... except once you are cut there's no turning back. Let's face it, before I go out on a hawt date, I wash... and so should you... lol.

So, you know how you whack off now and your f******n feels pretty good rubbing on your glans... you lose that feeling... no f******n... same with intercourse... it will feel different. Also, once it is gone, nobody can suck that f******n, pull on it.. or fiddle with it or play with it.. so you lose that too.

There are reasons for getting cut, but there is no reason to cut off a fully functional f******n.

As for glans sensitivity.. you start losing that immediately... and the sensitivity continues to diminish as you age. It willdo that anyway, but not as rapidly. By the time you are in your 40's it will be much less sensitive than it is now even if you keep your f******n. Why rush things, I say.

As for HIV, that is transmitted by having unsafe s*x, not because of f******n. Besides that, you might ask yourself why the figures for HIV are so high in USA where the rate of circumcision is also one of the highest in the world.

Answer 5

Latest reports by WHO show that circumscision reduces the chances of catching HIV substantially.

Also in some cases the fore skin may grow slower than the glans at times preventing blood flow and may cause other health complications

I think it also looks cool being circumscised( different people have other opinions)

It will take a few weeks about 3 to heal from the circumscision.

Answer 6

NOOO...... dont do it! there are nerve endings in the f******n, and if you get circumcized, you will get less feeling in your p***s, which means less pleasure.  

Answer 7

If you had been circ'ed at birth that would be one thing, but to contemplate circumcision at your age because of smell?  I just don't think that's much of a reason.  Maybe you should try changing your hygiene habits instead.  Circumcision for that is drastic and if it ain't broke (and you're not), don't fix it.  BTW, I was circ'ed at birth.

Answer 8

Frankly pal, it'll be your decision in the long run you have to decide that despite any advice here, but you better hope that it's done correctly...& it is very painful...Don't be lazy, why don't you just clean it?

Or just peel back your f******n before you urinate, or leave it pulled back to make it less sensitive...Sometimes I do that. Cause I wouldn't want to be circumcised at all...But that's up to you.

Answer 9

there have been reports that jewish men wish that their family never had it done to them.

you will be very suprised how many women find this sort of thing 'gross' and not normal.

if i was you i would stay as you are.  

Answer 10

Don't do this and don't listen to the guys who have a fetish for having it done as adults. A lot of them get sexual thrills from the look and feel of being cut as tightly as possible. Some get it done several times to get it even tighter. They are not a good source of information about the real before and after sensations because their perceptions are warped by their particular fetish.

You may have a bad reaction to soap or the perfume in it. This can cause a thrush or fungal infection and induce an odour. Treat it with a tube of Cenesten or Monostat from a pharmacy and switch to washing with plain water to see if the smell goes away.

Adult males lose 15 square inches (40 square centimetres) of skin in circumcision, over half the skin of your p***s. You lose the gliding action as it slides on itself during masturbation and s*x. You will suffer bruising, perhaps some bleeding, and the swelling from the disruption to the lymph system goes on for up to six months. Removing the f******n turns the surface of the glans from an inner mucosal membrane to outside skin. Newly circumcised adults usually go through some weeks of intense discomfort as the glans is constantly exposed to rubbing on clothing, until it develops a thicker keratin layer and becomes less sensitive. You must abstain from ALL sexual activity for an average of six weeks. Some men like the final result but others complain of loss of sensation and miss being able to slide their f******n over the glans. Circumcised guys often have little or no movable skin left and are forced to m********e using lube or rubbing dry, without the loose skin. There is no going back if you don’t like the result.

A recent study has shown real differences in fine touch sensitivity between circumcised and intact penises and that the most sensitive parts of the intact p***s are those that would be removed by circumcision.

The claimed benefits of circumcision are a beat up (based on flawed studies) and don't really exist but medical authorities have worked out that the overall complication rate is higher than all the benefits claimed by the pro-cutting advocates. One by one the claims are disproved but the pro-cutting zealots come up with more and keep quoting the old ones despite the evidence against them. For example you have more chance of dying from a circumcision or losing your p***s from infection than from penile cancer. The rate of penile cancer is higher in the largely-circumcised USA than in European countries where less than 1% of the male population is circumcised. Plus circumcised men have been found to have penile cancer, mostly on the scar. (Remember this is a very rare disease in intact or circumcised men).

A very recent study in New Zealand followed a cohort of boys through life from birth to age 32. About 40% were circumcised. The intact males had a slightly lower rate of sexually transmitted infections than the circumcised but there was no significant difference.

Using surgery to mutilate the genitals instead of washing in a modern western society makes no sense. Normal intact male genitals are, if anything, easier to wash than female ones and the same substance, smegma collects in the genital folds of both sexes. A few intact males have problems with tight f******n but this is only a tiny proportion of intact males. The condition can now be almost always treated with simple stretching exercises, sometimes in combination with a steroid cream that speeds up the process.

Many women who get to interact sexually with an intact p***s prefer the natural state. Don’t do this to yourself just to fit in. Be proud of your whole and natural body.

Answer 11

From a woman's point of view, I would do it.  They look much nicer when circumcised and I think you will have more sensation there afterwards. Good luck.

Answer 12

no,donot get circumcised ,it really looks like it's abnormal.

Answer 13

Well then, stop contemplating and get circumcised. I got circumcised as an adult because my parents were against it. When I was about 4 years old and had my first major f******n problem they threatened that if it didn't come right then it would have to be removed. Right from that age I realized that I didn't have to endure the problems that a f******n can cause and I wanted it gone.

I didn't just dive in and get circumcised. I researched it a lot first.

I have absolutely no regrets about doing it. I think that a website that might be of interest to you is www.circlist.com. It is very informative on every aspect of male circumcision. Good Luck.

Answer 14

great! aside from being clean ,it is an acknowledged medical fact that circumcised men do not get cancer of the p***s.dont worry the body will get used to it quickly--take a mega dose of Vitamin C say 200mg  tablet daily to chew for a week to hasten the healing process.Vitamin C boosts the body's immune system.----stop eating all sugary foods and chocolates until the wound has healed---sugar  interferes with the healing process in the body.

Answer 15

Stop contemplating it and just do it. It is not the big deal a lot of guys would have you believe. There are a host of health benefits if you care to research them. This is a very hygienic thing for a young man to do. Hygiene is often thought of as meaning clean but the original meaning was healthful. Your partners will appreciate the fact that you care enough to make yourself look a lot more attractive and that you are trying to prevent infection with in some cultures circumcision has reached the "must do" status and there are a number of good reasons for this if you read about Judaism and Islam which are amongst the great world religions.

The anti-circumcision crowd are working really hard to scare guys away from this very beneficial addition to your male health. it is an addition and an enhancement, not a mutilation as some would insist.

I was "done" at 26 and love it. My s*x life has been much richer as a result and my orgasms were greatly intensified by this simple procedure.

The local anaesthetic is not as bad as having you tooth frozen at the dentists. The healing time is rapid. The over-sensitivity problem lasts about 3 weeks. I invite you to read more information on Circlist and Inter-Circ. Good luck

Answer 16

Most guys who wash well enough aren't really smelly. But a mild genital odour is normal and would probably happen even if you got circumcised. You would still have to wash if you were cut, just not pull the f******n back, which isn't exactly hard or anything. Don't you get sexual sensation from your f******n? I like the sliding action, it's fun to play with, and I know most guys think so too of course. It takes a few weeks for the glans to desensitise enough that it's not too uncomfortable, or so people say, but then you lose sensation. It's your choice but I really wouldn't recommend it.

Answer 17

Don't even think about it!  Cause you don't obviously know what pain you are stepping into!  That kind of pain is unnecessary just for a small chunk of flesh to be off of you.  Just leave it on and you should adjust to the smell.  I do.  I am not circumcised.  So I know what you are going through.  Also you are exposing you p***s even more when you do this.  So if you get kicked in that region and it hits on the open part where it is very sensitive you will be lying on the ground for weeks and even peeing will hurt.      

Answer 18

Being cleaner helps the smell & helps prevent infection.

Most girls I know are more attracted to a circumcised p***s.

I suggest it

Here's a site with some info & pros/cons

Answer 19

Dude!

I'm not sure what you are or aren't doing to have a smell, but that's not nomal if you have good hygene! first you slide the skin open when you pee, and when you m********e or have s*x, you do a wash in there with a gentle body wash and your fingers to spread it around well and then you completely rinse it off so that there is no residue remaining.

Just a water rinse doesn't do it, because bacteria would be the cause of a smell. Water alone won't remove any residue that bacteria like to go after. A mild shampoo is good too! Circumcised Dudes wash the same way too, or at least should be, or they will smell like pee in particular. Hahaha!

Next you slide the skin back over to protect the head, and keep the sesitivity of the k**b which that sensitivity is going to give you azing feel good instead of pain, whith slippery sensation which s*x is.

If you get circumcised, you will loose alot of that sensitiviy through constant contact to your clothing and getting turned into skin instead of a membrane type head.

I'm 24, never had a problem in my life with infection or all of this stuff that circmcised guys from birth are carrying on about, does not have a smell, and my s*x with that sensitive head is something that nobody could convince me out of with no amout of crazy carying on! Hahaha!

Me! :- )  

Answer 20

Stop contemplating that thing.
