My girlfriend of 3 years wants me to get circumcised?

Question

I have always wished I was circumcised at birth and envied guys who were circumcised. I brought it up to her a few months ago and we both agree I should do it. The problem is I think it will be super painful and I will have to miss a lot of work. Has anyone here had an adult circumcision? Do you like it? Painful? Are you glad you did it?

Should have made it clearer.. this is my idea and she is all for it

Answer 1

I got circumcised at 16 years old and I thought it would be incredibly painful but it wasn't as painful as thought.

I'll explain... You get your foreskin cut off and your head (penis) is exposed... The only time it hurts is when it rubs against your clothes but thats like a 6.5 out od 10

But when you're laying down it just feels tight like a tiny hair is wrapped around it (0.0 out of 10).

Get it done bro trust me it won't be painful unless it rubs against your clothes.

After a week or 2 after your head is exposed.. Get a bath (not a shower) i've never felt anything like if in my life but fuck me the pressure of the water of the head feels pathetically amazing :P

Good luck bro!

I just wanted you to know that circumcision is still a practice not because it's "better" but because it's a cultural phenomenon, because back in the day they claimed that if you are circumcised, you won't masturbate - as masturbation was supposedly the cause of hysteria and many problems.

Do it if it's your will. you're an adult. in my opinion it's pointless, waste of money, time and energy.

a mature woman should enjoy uncircumcised penis, a mature man should accept his body the way it looks.

"I have always wished I was circumcised at birth and envied guys who were circumcised."

I think you have a real problem of insecurity here. And I hope it doesn't make you take away having this choice from your child.

Its very risky, some people end up with a severed penis. You might want it for cosmetic/ religious or "hygienic reasons" but at the end of the day, the risks outweigh the benefits. And you don't have too, it should be your choice, and your choice alone. Good luck.

I know, but mistakes are possible as the surgeon is only human. Although in the USA they sometimes use electricity to remove the foreskin. Please bear in mind that should an accident happen, you will have a hard time establishing medical negligence as it is a policy of many states around the world that hospitals and their employees cannot be sued for actions that result in a loss or injury of a patient. I just wouldn't do it, nor would I ask my significant other to do this.

Only do it if you really want to do it. Not just because she wants you to be circumcised. Think about it very carefully. There are only esthetic benefits to circumcision.

Apparently you lose sensation because the head is always exposed, but I have no idea of course. There's also none of the natural gliding that happens with an uncut penis.

Xper 2

Having done this for a girlfriend who then left me... I have no regrets and would of done it sooner had I known.

My girlfriend of 1 year asked me to get it done as she didn't like me uncut due to odour,,, etc.

I got snipped and after 3 weeks I've noticed virtually no reduction in sensitivity, I can last much longer now than before and my head glands have gotten a lot bigger which some girls like, with a slight loss in some mid-shaft girth. But my penis looks so sexy now.

But the I've only witnessed the benefits of circumcision after my girlfriend dumped me and I started dating and sleeping around. It appears practically every woman prefers a cut tool. Before getting a blowjob was difficult from a girl, now they voluntarily do it. And a lot of one night stands now call me back, which never happened before

If you're keen on it I suggest you get a 'Loose High Circumcision" which keeps the Frenulum intact and removes some shaft skin.

I think if you're really positive and exited about it, then go for it.
and like musicbrain5 said , If anything, Its just gonna increase the aesthetic look of it. I feel you have gotten used to of having a foreskin and not just you your dick too. I wonder if you will feel very dry on ur glans/head if u do it now.
but if u feel positive, then go for it. If you're just neutral about it, then i say drop it.

Yeah, I had it done. I was off for a week, it's probably possible to go back sooner, but i booked a week off.

The first day is painful, after that it's not bad apart from getting erections in the night.

I like it, I'm glad I did it.

Cost is something to worry about, adult circumcision is not that cheap.

@Longblackveil personal choice really, in my case my wife did ask if i'd ever considered it. She didn't push for it, but I was aware she preferred it.

But after researching it I was interested too, I did what I wanted, but her preference was -a- factor. TBH, her preference matches a majority of women my age (and QA's age) in north america. Different age range, or continent, different preferences.

Anyway I like it.

People are suggesting you lose sensation after it is done.. what has been your experience. Is it better, worse, or the same?
kheserthorpe

My experience reflects me, others may vary.

I'm less sensitive in a good way, which I'll try to explain. Before, direct glans stimulation - say a bj with the foreskin back, felt good, but could almost feel too intense, like it's goood but ahhh you kind of jump a bit. Now it's just good. Period. So i may be very slightly less sensitive, but i enjoy more direct stimulation, and overall enjoy the stimulation i get now more then the stimulation i got then.

Dry masturbation/handjobs were probably better uncircumcised, anything wet i think i like the sensation better circumcised.

My partner notices more friction (as opposed to glide) during sex, which she prefers. She does get sore more easily, but still prefers it. She also prefers it for foreplay of any form.

It is my belief also that the girl will feel more pleasure and friction also
I am also very sensitive now, I think I will like the change that you have experienced
