As a guy living in the USA in his mis 20s - I have been giving the procedure a lot of consideration over the last year or two. This is mainly due to being more comfortable with women as I feel it's generally a desirable trait in a mate. I've head some horror stories about circumcision though, especially later in life.
Has anyone here undergone the procedure later in life and is able to compare - and/or recommend getting it done?
thank you.
How would you know it's more desirable?
I had this procedure done at age 30 after being married for two years. It definitely improved sex, both for me and my wife. There was absolutely no downside other than having to wait a few weeks to have sex. I'd recommend it.
Interesting, I suppose that's good news. I know you can't go into graphic detail but I appreciate your comment.

Circumcision is evil. Religion invented it to deprive men of their capacity for sexual pleasure. Nature intended for the penis is to have a foreskin. What women prefer fluctuates from place to place and over time, and different women have different preferences anyway. Who f*cking cares what women want anyway? Do what YOU want.

Frankly, as a girl, uncircumcised penises look gross. Just saying.
I feel the same way about uncircumcised vaginas. Women, cut them labia off!
No, do not get circumcised! Trust me. I'm a white 28 yr old male living in the USA, and I'm not circumcised. You'll find women who love an all natural male. Women who think foreskins are gross on a man are skanks. Trust me. You wouldn't want to date or be around selfish skanks. Many women in the US don't mind uncircumcised men. So do not get circumcised.

Who cares about your opinion...if you actually liked the guys you blew, you wouldn't care.....
I'm a girl in the states, and frankly I find uncut guys really hot. All that extra movement in the foreskin makes it a lot more fun to play with. The head is also a lot shinier, and there's no unappealing scar tissue to look at. I really wish that my boyfriend were uncut.
Stick with what nature gave you.
Don't do it dude. As a woman, sex is better as nature intended it, foreskin is there for a reason. And do you really want to be with someone so vain they would want you to cut off a part of your dick?
As a woman, I have been with both circumcised and intact men. For me, I prefer intact men. The gliding action the foreskin provides prevents friction and tearing. There was more control on the mans part to ensure we were both pleasured as much as possible. I find the scarring on the penis to be highly unattractive. I find the calloused and dried out head of the circumcised penis to be unattractive as well. Plus, the tides are turning and about half of men in the United States are left intact now.
There are also many complications of circumcision.
Circumcision is Associated with Premature Ejaculation. Premature ejaculation (PE) is common. However, it has been under-reported and under-treated. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of PE and to investigate possible associated factors of PE. This cross-sectional study was conducted at a primary care clinic over a 3-month period in 2008. Men aged 18-70 years attending the clinic were recruited, and they completed self-administered questionnaires. A total of 207 men were recruited with a response rate of 93.2%. Their mean age was 46.0 years. The prevalence of PE was 40.6%. No significant association was found between age and PE. Multivariate analysis showed that erectile dysfunction, circumcision, and sexual intercourse =5 times in 4 weeks were predictors of PE. These associations need further confirmation.

The circumcised penis also has less sensitivity. The fine touch receptors are removed during circumcision. The penis becomes calloused over time and the glans dry out. Due to the glans drying out and the removal of the fine touch receptors, a calloused circumcised penis requires more pressure and friction to achieve orgasm, making sex often times painful for women. I guess this may not be as much of an issue with male to male sex because they can just use lube. But for women, the intact penis has its own moisture and gliding action, requiring less friction and force to achieve stimulation and this provides a much better sexual experience.

A sensitivity study of the adult penis in circumcised and uncircumcised men shows that the uncircumcised penis is significantly more sensitive. The most sensitive location on the circumcised penis is the circumcision scar on the ventral surface. Five locations on the uncircumcised penis that are routinely removed at circumcision are significantly more sensitive than the most sensitive location on the circumcised penis.
In addition, the glans (head) of the circumcised penis is less sensitive to fine touch than the glans of the uncircumcised penis. The tip of the foreskin is the most sensitive region of the uncircumcised penis, and it is significantly more sensitive than the most sensitive area of the circumcised penis. Circumcision removes the most sensitive parts of the penis.
This study presents the first extensive testing of fine touch pressure thresholds of the adult penis. The monofiliment testing instruments are calibrated and have been used to test female genital sensitivity.

Circumcised men are also 1.57 times more likely to suffer from alexithymia, which is a personality construct characterized by the sub-clinical inability to identify and describe emotions in the self. The core characteristics of alexithymia are marked dysfunction in emotional awareness, social attachment, and interpersonal relating. Furthermore, individuals suffering from alexithymia also have difficulty in distinguishing and appreciating the emotions of others, which is thought to lead to unempathic and ineffective emotional responding.

Keep your foreskin. Its bimbo repellent and will keep the shallow trash away.
It does kill the whole intelligent design argument.
I am 22 yrs old. And have only had sex with 2 men 1 cut. The other my now husband intact. May I say intact is 100% better. The sex is incredible. Its more natural. Plus why put yourself in pain for sone girl who you don't know is going to stay. There are plenty of women who would love to have sex with you as nature intended with a WHOLE INTACT penis!
This is an absolutely fantastic troll. 10/10. The "head" typo/pun was just awesome.
Additionally it points out that circumcision is a ridiculous practice. Cheers.
The foreskin plays an important role in the sexual health and enjoyment for both women and men.
Don't do it dude. Just become an intactivist. Look up your local anti-circ crew. Try facebook . Com / intact "the abbreviation for your state". Look up the whole network, look up intact america and saving our sons. Youve been given a pass past this sick and pointless ritual, and many women out there would wet their panties to look at an intact man in person! Don't give that up. Also check out sexasnatureintendedit . Com. May the foreskin be with you! God bless and Galatians 5 :)
I think a big part of this is realizing that MOST guys had no decision in the matter. So assuming a guy is judgmental about it one way or the other is simply not true - it was out of their hands totally.
If a woman likes you enough to get to the point of seeing you naked, she's not gonna back out because you're cut or uncut. End of story. Don't listen to the people who say women prefer one over the other; women will always state their preference as being that of their current partner, almost without fail (unless they hate their partner).
The advantages and disadvantages of each route are almost certainly overblown. Cut does decrease your chances of contracting an STD, but not that much, and you can just wear a condom anyway. The penis does move differently with the foreskin intact, but most circumcised men do not require lube for sex. The penis does become less sensitive in terms of neuronal excitation, but it's not different at a level that most humans are able to differentiate between. Uncut penises do accumulate smegma much faster and require more hygiene, but that can be fixed by not being a disgusting animal and not knowing how to shower.
It's a wash man, just do what you like, you're not really getting a "better" option by going one way or another. Conforming to social convention is the only real benefit, and that's up to you whether that's worth the cost of the procedure.
