Circumcision

A Prickly Problem

Gentlemen, there is a part of most of us that has been missing since birth. (No, girls, not the brain). The foreskin. Most male babies are circumcised...When born the male baby's penis actually looks like a tiny cannoli, with the tip of the fresh penis nestled unsuspectingly in a cuddly wrap of loose fleshly cover, known as the foreskin. Then when we young lads are just getting our bearings, there is a brief swish of the surgeon's blade and about a quarter inch or so of the foreskin is removed in a process chillingly entitled circumcision.

Has my circumcised tribunal been missing something all these years (I mean besides regular, wild passionate intense sex), because of the foreskin snipped and tossed in one of those hospital '"medical waste bags?" Of course this is perhaps an unanswerable question, because males with their foreskins intact have no idea what sex would be with their cock head total exposed. Conversely, males who are victims of circumcision (as the anti-circumcision group would call them), have no idea what they may be missing in foreskin pleasure.

Males with uncircumcised members let us know what you like about it...(a lady's tongue exploring under the flap of the foreskin comes to mind as distinctly excruciatingly intimate...) how it works for you...how your lady partner likes it or male partner likes it.  —Johnny Tender

Your intro is most probably from an American or Jewish perspective? In all Commonwealth countries and most European countries, circumcision outside of the Jewish faith is very uncommon. ie. outside of America most men still have their foreskins.

There's been comment here about whether circumcision is a good idea. All medical and practical analysis, and most ethical analysis, has found circumcision to be completely unnecessary. If parents choose to harm their child by cutting a piece off them, they ought to be made aware that they are doing it for no good reason.

Your question was about the role it plays in sex. As an uncircumcised man, I can report a very high level of sensitivity in the glans. It is sensitivity I can control. It makes little difference in a condom, and a little difference in penetration, but blow jobs are absolutely delicious.

I am uncircumsized and happy that no doctor got to me. I feel complete and natural having all of my penis intact. Not only is an uncircumsized penis more sensitive, but there is a pleasure that comes from experiencing the different personalities of an uncut penis, depending on its state of arousal and also the ambient temperature. When the weather is cold, my penis and testicles become tighter and smaller, to preserve heat. The foreskin not only covers the glans, but extends to a point beyond the head. I think it is beautiful. I enjoy looking at my flaccid penis with the foreskin covering it. I enjoy retracting the foreskin, and seeing the glans exposed and the foreskin hanging around the end of the shaft like a wrinkled cowl. I like how the foreskin disappears with my erection. The contrast is wonderful. And I love how the foreskin pulls back and forth when I pump the shaft in my hand during masturbation, or during intercourse. On the upstroke (or out-stroke, in sex) the foreskin lessens friction and chafing.

I have a theory about circumcision: it seeks to reduce male sexuality, and therefore psychology, to a certain kind of phallic image. It goes with the idea that men should be exposed, invulnerable, obvious, unitary, and visible. It denies men refuge, vulnerability, mystery, complexity, and darkness, which are associated, stereotypically, with women. Circumcision is barbaric and wrong for many reasons and this is one more.

Responding to June (see letter below) I fail to see the point of your letter, what message are you wishing to convey? Nobody has questioned the intelligence or lack of between cut and uncut men. I consider myself as average intelligence and really quite normal even though I was circumcised aged two.

Yes my mother tried to force my skin back too soon believing it was necessary to wash underneath and tore it. This caused infection and led to my circumcision. I went through childhood, adulthood and 30 years into marriage without thinking about my operation.

My wife and I were quite content with our sex life and thought that it was as good as it gets. Then I heard about foreskin restoration and curiosity made me give it a go. I now have a beautiful long foreskin completely covering my cock which looks good and feels good. My wife loves it too, she can't keep her hands off it, she now has something to play with. My sex drive has doubled and my sex life has tripled. The glans is now moist and slippery so penetration is so simple it just slips straight in.

Wow, what a difference a piece of skin makes. We often go to nude beaches and I have noticed a significant increase in female interest which is another bonus. How can things get any better?

From June
My first husband was born in the 1930s and circumcised at birth, my second husband born in the 1940s and also circumcised at birth. He is intelligent, sane and balanced. Having the snip has not affected him in any way. Our son was born in 1980 and I wanted him circumcised since I genuinely believed that, on reaching puberty, his sex experiences would be much improved. My husband agreed. My son is also intelligent, sane and balanced and happy in his relationships.

I have to be honest, while my husband is a superb lover and we enjoy wonderful lovemaking moments two or three times a week, in recent years I have experienced other men and in both oral and vaginal sex I am more relaxed with condom-free cut men, and many of my women friends of my age share the same view.

From Renee
To Gerald [see entry below] Not remembering it is not the point. Using that mentality, we have a window in which we can abuse our children in any way we choose, simply because they will be too young to remember it! I can't imagine how anyone would think that ripping a piece of flesh off a newborn is anything less than abuse. At least wait until the child is 1) old enough to decide for himself what he wants, and 2) old enough to be able to get proper anesthesia and pain control. And if you think it "looks nasty as hell", well, great, you've got the dick you want. That's wonderful. But not every circumcised man is happy he was circumcised at birth without his permission. And not everyone thinks it's nasty.

What is this fear of the foreskin in this country all about? What is so damn terrifying about a little skin? Do people know it LOOKS THE SAME when it's erect? The foreskin is just pulled behind the head when it's hard. And frankly, I don't care much about any cock when it's not hard, circumcised or not.

From Gerald
To Heather the nurse. [see Heather's entry below] I am circumcised and you do not have to feel for me one little bit. As far as pain, who the hell remembers anything at 2 days old? I am thankful I am circumcised. That other stuff looks nasty as hell. Just my opinion.

From Anonymous
I was circumcised as an infant and for the next 50 years I hated the sight of my mutilated member and tried to prevent anyone from seeing it, even girlfriends. I always envied uncut guys and wondered what it would feel like to have a proper cock. A programme entitled Sex came on TV and through this I learned that there are thousands of unhappy cut men who are angry that someone else made the decision for them.

A group was formed and a method of foreskin restoration was formulated and found to be successful. They advertised their system so I wrote to them and received instructions.Now after about 4 years the result is very pleasing. My penis looks exactly like a natural one with foreskin completely covering the glans, which is now moist red slippery and very very sensitive Sex is now ten times as good. I love my cock now and I'm happy to show it to all those who might be interested .Very happy chappy.

From Canadian
I'm an old guy, circumcised. When young and curious, after becoming a post-virgin person, I checked out the gay stuff-- but only b/j's (I was kind of squeamish about the other, had yet to enjoy anal sex with the various female-type folk I later encountered). I not only don't really recall what the (three, before I decided that the experiment was a failure) guys I had it off with were, cut or not. And, being a counsellor of sorts who had to interview women who'd decided to leave husbands and/or had been raped, quite of few of them were equally equivocal on the subject.

I, having been cut since long before puberty, am in no position to offer any sort of before-and-after testimony. The women that offer opinions above do so on the basis of what scientists call "anecdotal evidence" and use questionable logic. Hey! Whatever (or whoever) turns you on, eh?
