Penis question

I am 22. I have an uncircumcised penis. I have always been very self conscious about this issue as I thought that the majority of men were circumcised. I have read through here and see that a lot of posters are not circumcised. About what is the percentage? I am wondering how a girl my age would react to seeing my penis. Thanks in advance.

Re: Penis question

about 80-85% of the world's men are uncircumcised.
most girls don't care. many would not even recognize whether a man is cut or uncut.
I worried about how girls would react, but never got a negative reaction.

Re: Penis question

Really??? That many are uncircumcised? I thought the numbers would be the exact opposite. I always thought I was one of the few who wasn't cut. That is quite surprising. Thanks a lot.

Re: Penis question

The figures for men in the UNITED STATES are very different. In the US, the number of circumcised men is considerably higher. Worldwide, however, those figures are correct. It is important to note the distinction.

Re: Penis question

Within the US, the numbers are very different. In California, the circ rate is about 30%. In the Midwest, it is closer to 75%.
Regardless, there is no shame in either having a foreskin, or being circumcised.
