Macketeer, what gets me is how insensitive your family seem to be about how you feel. I don't agree with routine infant circumcision. OK, if there's a genuine medical reason for it, that's a different story, but to clip a healthy foreskin off a child for no reason is assault, even it's meant to be "for his own good". I'm sure that's what the proponents of female cirucmcision say too, but they're condemned for carrying out a barbaric practice. I know there's a difference between male and female circumcision, but the principle is the same. It's genital mutilation. If someone wants to get cut as an adult, that's different again. It's his own choice.

As for how you deal with it, I'm not sure if I can be of any help. Once it's gone, it's gone. I think all you can do is try to appreciate your dick for what it is. It may not look exactly as you'd want it to, but it works, it can still give you pleasure. Yes, you're missing a bit of skin and some nerve endings. I don't know how much of a difference that makes to sensitivity because I don't know what it's like to be cut. You only have to read through some of the threads on here to find that very few guys are actually completely satisfied with their dick for one reason or another. Some want to be bigger, others smaller, thicker, longer, straighter... The list is endless. Some guys love their foreskins, some hate them. For others, they're just a piece of skin that doesn't do much for them. I know I keep going on about being comfortable in your own skin (recurring comment in most of my posts), but I really think that's the only way any of us can be truly happy with our bodies. There are some things that you can change and some that you can't. Don't be a victim. Changes were made to your body without your consent, but don't let that ruin all of your life. I know it's easy for me to say "Make the best of your situation," because I don't know what you're going through, but I can't think of any other solution.
