Exclamation Adult Circumcision

Is this a good idea or a bad idea? I would like responses from men who have experienced Adult circumcision. I have been bothered by this for as long as I can remember. I am in my thirties and I still am self conscious about it. I hate for my wife to see it. I don't want to make a bad thing worse!

do you have a problem with the functioning of your penis? if you do, there are simpler, less destructive ways to take care of it. just state the problem, and there are plenty of people willing to help.
whether or not you do, circumcision is almost never a viable answer, to a man who has a foreskin. How could you have something removed, and not feel like you were missing something, especially from one of your most valued parts?

I am not cut.

Why would a man want to do this if there is no medical problem?

Most men in the world are not cut. This is the natural state.

Why do it?

Well, I guess it is just not attractive. Unless I have an erection, I am just not comfortable walking around in front of my wife of 11 years. She always says, "God must really have a sense of humor". That doesn't help with the uncomfortable feeling. I hear other girls talking about guys who are uncut. They talk about how gross and ugly it is. I honestly don't plan on having it done, I am just curious to find out what it is like from someone who actually experienced it as an adult. You know, if they love it or regret it.

I've read various posts of guys who had an adult circumcision. The ones that had it done purely for cosmetic or asthetic reasons, and really wanted to be cut, are usually happy with the way it looks after the circumcision. However, most report a loss in sensitivity, particularly in the head (glans). Many guys who got cut as adults just for cosmetic reasons, have regrets years later that they had it done. They often report sex and masturbation was better with a foreskin.

Now guys that had problems with their foreskin, such as inability to retract it due to severe phimosis, and got cut as adults, are almost always pleased with the results. But this is because they never had a fully functioning penis before.

My advice is do what YOU want - not what other people think. Including your wife. Deciding on circumcision based on what others perceive or think of uncut penises, or trying to 'fit in', is a big mistake, IMO. Also, be aware that if you do go ahead with circumcision, expect a loss of some sensitivity.
