Foreskin Envy

Macketeer, I agree with you 100%.

And for those of you who think there is no big deal about getting cut, just take a look at my cock's head in my photo gallery. This is what happens 30 or 40 years after being cut... you lose all sensitivity in the head of your cock and being able to get sexual gratification from a cock that has reached my stage of "keratinization" is nearly impossible.


Those of you who have be cut as adults and say there is no difference in sensitivity are missing the point... after 30 or 40 years of your glans being exposed to air and rubbing on clothing, you will have NO sensitivity, so enjoy your sex life with your newly cut penis while it lasts, cause it ain't gonna last forever.

I agree, leave it as it was made

If it just for looks, we should remove a woman's inner lips for appearance also

There are some great posts in this thread. I really took to the one where people get the idea that foreskins are without their problems. While i'd choose to leave my son uncut like my own dad, i know that some adult males in our family have had to have their foreskins removed because of problems.

I can see feeling a little shitty about not having one when you see those so proud of theirs and especially after reading the anti-circ hate-your-mother-for-mutilating your genitals propoganda. I certainly don't think circumcision should be routine in infants. But to deny that it has it's place as a medical procedure when one is having difficulties is silly. The foreskin is just like any other part of the body that can give you problems and can give you relief with removal if you want to be rid of it.

Not all foreskins are created equal obviously. I think most Americans circumsize because its all most of us have ever seen and we are uncomfortable with whats different. I think most moms don't want their sons being rejected for looking different and thats the main reason why its done so much around here. It's all about fitting in and sadly it feeds the beast that is called Routine.

I'm sure your description of the joys of foreskin is going to make him feel even better about not having one. The guy has some self esteem issues about it and bragging about yours isnt exactly going to make him get over this. That's great you enjoy your foreskin but i don't think this was a thread meant to glorify your own to show others who don't have one what they are missing. He already feels like he's missing out.

I recently had a conversation on this subject and thought you might like to hear my experience as I recounted it.:

I can remember when I was around 11 years old and I had to go for a consultation with a specialist cuz my foreskin was so tight (or the head so big - LOL?) that the foreskin would not go much past my snake-eye.

This used to result in painful yeast infections and agonising erections.

It was decided (by me) not be circumcised as I was too scared of the op and the recovery pain I'd heard about from a pal who'd had it done at around the same time.

It wasn't until my mid to late teens that I was able to painfully get the foreskin past the glans.

Sex was necessary but often excruciatingly painful after (and even during).

I then had a 2 or 3 year sex free period in my late teens (just lack of confidence and teen hormones). During this period, I masturbated constantly and my sensitivity decreased and my staying power increased until I had to do it pretty fiercely to achieve orgasm.

I think this did two things, it stretched the foreskin opening a little and also increased Bud's size in a similar fashion to jelquing excercises.

One girl I began dating needed the hardest fucking I've had to perform in order for her to cum and it was during such a session that I felt an excruciating pain in my cock.

When I withdrew, it was bleeding profusely. I'd literally torn the foreskin a little ( I do NOT advise this).

Once I'd recovered (days to stop the bleeding, weeks of tenderness and months of care - i.e. less strenuous sex), I could easily pull the skin back fully, but my glans was still big enough to retain it there.

I began wearing it behind the glans but it initially gets sore.

So I'd wear it behind until it started to get sore, then spit on the dry head to facilitate putting the skin back.

Over the course of time, the time that I could expose my glans became longer and longer until, today, I could probably hook it back there permanently, each time I shower.

I choose not to, though, as it does reduce sensitivity of the glans ad I miss that, when it happens.

PS. Sorry for the life story. (YAWN).

I think that was much more supportive than the original. I'm just thinking about the original poster and his feelings on this one. I think we envy what we don't have and this guy is one of the many who have undue insecurities about his manparts.

I have been restoring for years now. Its an amazing feeling. I love being uncut.

I feel for you - when I was a kid I wanted to be circumsized because everyone else in my group was. Boy am I glad it didn't happen. I know this does not make you feel any better but you have a partner and the two of you are blessed. Make the most of that - get on with life and say thanks!

cleanliness is the most important fact - cut or uncut.

Earlier erratic mentioned a "flamewar". Below is the type of comment that can start such a fire.Is anyone at LPSG pushing such "propaganda"?

I'm aware that there are a small number of extremists who will say such things but they don't represent collective view of those who oppose infant circumcision.

I've seen several posts where there was obvious rage in preferring to destroy familial relationships over not being able to let this topic go. They often harbor horrible feelings towards themselves, their mothers doctor, their mother, father and any siblings that don't agree with them.

You know, to deny that anti-circ sites arent full of these ideas is nuts. It's like the Bradley Birthing Method which makes you think your gynecologists have it out for you by making you take IV's in birth, offering you medications if you are in extreme pain and doing a c-section if necessary. Any agenda can make things out to seem much worse than they really are. While an uncut penis forms smegma and women know how nasty that can be, people have made way too big of a deal out of the hygeine issue to require circumcision. Its just as staunch on the other side. If it starts a flame war, its because these staunch believers refuse to see it any other way.

Circumcision is sometimes necessary, but most anti circ sites would have you believe its always evil. Google anti circumcision and these sites show up at the top of the list and those are the ones that the OP is coming across which feeds the beast of feeling like shit.

I'm 46, and although I've got mild ED, I have no sensitivity problems at all. In fact part of the ED diagnostic procedure at a urologist involved a sensitivity test...using what is essentially a calibrated vibrator, they touch various places on the penis, starting at a very small vibration and increasing it until you can feel it. Mine was better than average among all, cut or uncut. Perhaps you have another problem regarding nerves or desensitizing that's caused your lack of sensitivity. Automatically blaming circumcision is ill-informed, and you should consult a urologist if you think your problem is affecting your sex life.

My thumbs have been exposed to air and rubbing and chemicals and extreme heat and cold, but I can still feel the slightest touch.
