Why do they make guys get hard before getting circumcised?

[ElizabethE_2004]

My boyfriend got circumcised last week. I went with him, and they made him get undressed completely (which I think is unnecessary). They told him that he had to get hard, he said what? I have to get hard now? How can I get hard like this. The nurse goes, I don’t know your girlfriend is next to you, and if that doesn’t work you always have a phone. I’m standing there WTF, so I told the nurse to leave the room, and I had to get him hard. Has anyone heard of this before?

Sounds like something out of a porn movie lol why was he getting circumsized now though after all it's harder to do and probably the reason they needed him hard was so it would make it easier

[ElizabethE_2004]

Why would it be harder now? And why would him being hard make it any easier?

[EdwardMoon]

Well it's easier as a baby cause they heal quickly and don't get hard ons the reason they need him hard is so that the stitches they put in don't tear when he accidentally pops a boner cause if they do it while he's soft than when the dick expands the stitches will tear so was he getting circumsized by choice or medical reasons?

[EdwardMoon]

Also how'd getting him hard go?

[ElizabethE_2004]

That’s not why because they cut him hard and he was almost soft by the time they sewed him. And for religious reasons

[EdwardMoon]

Could be so that they see where the foreskin begins

[ElizabethE_2004]

I don't know it was very weird

[EdwardMoon]

by the way how's he recovering

[ElizabethE_2004]

And that they told me to make him hard, don’t they have a machine for that?

[EdwardMoon]

Nah whenever a guy needs to get hard the choices are their hand, sex toy, or spouse

[ElizabethE_2004]

I’m pretty sure they have a machine for it

[EdwardMoon]

Yeah but it's probably not as effective

[ElizabethE_2004]

Okay but asking me is completely un called for

[EdwardMoon]

Sounded more like they gave a choice

[EdwardMoon]

After all isn't your boyfriend able to jerk off to porn

[ElizabethE_2004]

No not really they
Said in front of me, it’s you or porn

[EdwardMoon]

Well I guess it's just a weird hospital though how would you feel if their was a third option of having a nurse help him get hard?

[ElizabethE_2004]

I would not allow it, I’ll tell you that much

[EdwardMoon]

Fair enough

[Anonymous]

So a 17 year old boy is allowed to bring his 16 year old girlfriend to his circumcision, and a nurse left the room while telling you to "get him hard." I call BS on the whole story.

[ElizabethE_2004]

U can say whatever you want

[Pink2000]

Yeah I do too 😂

[Suhailadil]

@elizabethe_2004 😂😂😂😂 honestly i find this guys reply made the story funnier.. such weird shit.. everywhere.. lol damn

[HappyLeng]

I am a theatre/OR nurse and we don't require this to our patients.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Well, if he can't get erection on his own they can give him
a injection to make him erect to give him a circumcision
but i never heard such a thing but this could be true. SMH

[ElizabethE_2004]

they gave him that option or the injection that he said no to, I forgot to mention that.

[MrOracle]

They need to make sure that they remove the correct amount of skin, or it can interfere with him getting or keeping an erection or experiencing pain.

[0112358]

When I had it done it wasn’t required.

If this is legit they were likely seeing how much skin to remove.

[ElizabethE_2004]

How did they do yours then

[0112358]

They estimated I suppose. The level of tightness worked out. I don't know. Is boyfriend an extreme “grower”?

[ElizabethE_2004]

Wym?

[0112358]

Maybe I misunderstood you. What are you asking by “how did they do mine”?

[Quidthonian]

I can shed some light on that, even though I haven't experienced it. The penis becomes more stable and is much easier to work on. Also, they need to be able to estimate on how much skin to take off.

[totalFiasco]

Hi... I can't be useful to your question, but I need to get it done to.

Was it nhs or private?

[John_Doesnt]

I'm pretty sure you watched him get molested at some cult.

[TripleAce]

Last week 😂
WhAt a goof hahah just took away pleasure from himself

[InTimoreDei]

Not sure about that. The way the procedures are done for older males, an erection is not required.

[Anonymous]

You just made this all up, didn't you?

[ElizabethE_2004]

not at all

[Pazenskey69]

They don’t wanna cut to much or two little being hard the can k ow exactly how much to cut off

[notbatman1342]

You and your boyfriends seem oddly close but its because a hard peen is easier to work on

[Buckzor]

Is this some kind of crazy fantasy you have?

[TadCurious]

I don't believe this.

[Anonymous]

It's easier to know where to cut if it's engorged.

[Joker_]

Do they?
