Interesting question and link to a good article. After reading the following from my source, it appears that there's a sufficient FREE supply to meet the demand:\n\n'Circumcision is the surgical removal of the foreskin of the penis. It is OFTEN performed in healthy boys for cultural or religious reasons. In the U.S., circumcision of a newborn boy is usually done before he leaves the hospital. Among the Jewish population, circumcision is done on the eighth day.'

Hi, If his hygiene is otherwise good, he probably has a yeast infection, known as jock itch.  Yeast infections have a terrible odor, but there are many over the counter creams that will cure it. . Another possibility is maybe he is not circumcised.  Uncircumcised penises are harder to keep clean because of the extra folds of skin and this could cause an odor.

Circumcision is the removal of the end portion of the foreskin. It is usually done to young infants. It exposes the head of the penis.\n\nIn the Bible circumcision was used as a sign for the Hebrews to show they were/are God's chosen people. It was done on the eighth day after birth because the blood coagulated fastest on this day.\n\nToday parents often have their children circumcised for cleanliness of the penis.

Circumcised penises grow to be less sensitive over the years which can effect sexual enjoyment. Almost no medical authority in the world advocates circumcision these days apart from when some drastic medical condition requires it.\n\nUncircumcised men experience the natural back and forth of their foreskin over the glans during intercourse (and masturbation) which is very  enjoyable. Their glans stays sensitive too.\n\nSo, yes, sex feels different for a man ... and a woman usually needs less lubrication with an uncut man.\n\nIf personal hygiene is good, there are no issues with either.

Yes, He has been circumcised and the two different shades of skin color is from being circumcised.  The lighter colored skin tone behind the head used to be on the inside of the foreskin.  Its hard to explain how this is but depending on how much of the foreskin is cut off and what method was used.  Sounds like he was circumcised pretty tight.  Where the two skin colors touch in the mid area of his penis is the scar or cut line.  From that line forward to slightly past the end or tip of his penis was the length or amount of his foreskin that was cut off. The inside skin is a different color than the outside skin, and now the inside skin is permanently turned to the outside.  Some circumcisions are extremely tight.  Its up to the Dr or nurse that does them how much foreskin they want to cut off. \nIt is quite normal and a lot of men are this way.  Some more color pronounced than others and some circumcision scars are very visible like a brown ring around the penis.  A lot of women also find this look appealing.

could be from a number of things\n- nervousness\n- bad health habits (smoking, drinking)\n- stressful lifestyle\n- poor physical shape\n- prostate or hormonal problems\n- desensitized penis (from wacking off too much, sometimes circumcision causes the head to lose sensitivity)\n- could be that your size isnt allowing enough stimulation\n\nthis might be something youll have to see a doctor about to really get a proper solution. good luck and get that fixed soon

I've heard that getting it done as an adult hurts alot worse than if you had it done as a child.  Although, a child can't really verbalize how bad it hurt, so I do'nt know how they would know that.  \n\nI've never been with a uncircumcized man before, so I don't know if it's better/worse.\n\nOne thing I know as a fact is that circumcized men have a lesser chance of contracting AIDS than one that hasn't had the procedure done.  I don't know why, that's just what I read when I was choosing whether to get my son's done or not.

Your question really confuses me. Either you were not circumcised at all or too much foreskin was left and needs to be trimmed. In any case check with your doctor and if he doesn't know what to do, then have him recommend a good urologist. They do adult circumcisions or revisions if necessary. You may not be circumcised because it sounds like you have phimosis, a tight foreskin that makes it difficult to have an erection without pain and may be too tight that it even makes it difficult to pee. Get to the doctor. They are used to patients having these problems.

Its probably infected.  You need to be cricumsized before you loose more than your foreskin.

I know I'm not supposed to answer you 'cause I'm not a guy, but I really really want to anyway :-)\nI actually just posted a question about Americans circumcising their boys, because I was surprised to learn how common a practice it is in the States and don't see any point in it. (Didn't get any useful answers). So in case you were worried about it, let me just tell you from a woman's point of view that there is absolutely nothing weird or wrong about a man in his natural state, it doesn;t make the slightest bit of difference during any type of sexual encounter, and you can be proud of what you have. As long as you keep yourself clean no woman will complain about your package, I promise. (Same goes for cicumcised men!). K, so sorry to butt in uninvited, wanted to tell you that you have nothing to be ashamed or worried about, you just happen to live in a society which has strangely warped views on this subject.

your foreskin is not the culprit here so those who suggest circumcision as the only cure really have no understanding of the male penis or how it is designed to operate. They think because they live in the USA where most guys are circumcised that foreskin is supposed to be cut off. Yet in the world as a whole circumcised males are the minority and foreskin rules!\n\nOkay as to your problem. If you are being a bit too rough in your sexual activity that can cause the symptoms you describe ion any penis. So, first thign to learn is how to have sex by being gentle and caring rather tthan just rushing in headfirst and banging away until you ejaculate. \n\nAlso, if your foreskin is a little tight, it is possible that yoru glans'head is a bit sensitive from never getting out in the world. If you cannot retract it easily for cleaning, then you need to work at stretchign it out some so it will easily retract and return. And once it retracts easily make sure you give your penis and it's head and under it's foreskin a thorough cleaning every day and after any sport or other activity that gets you all hot and sweaty.\n\nAs well, you should be using a condom during any form of penetration sex. While you may not be worried about any majoy STI's, there are lots of minor ones that can be just as embarassing to have to take to a doctor. As well, one always has to consider the risk of pregnancy if your sex is with a female. In addition, the condom and use of lubricant on the outside of it can reduce the friction that is probably par tof the cause of your soreness, etc.\n\nTo put on a condom, retract your foreskin and let any excess kind of bunch up behind the head. Then unroll the condom down the penis allowing the condom to hold your extra skin in place behind the head.  Then lube up and have fun but gently please; no one needs to feel like they are being entered by a battering ram.\n\nPS, i too am intact and have never had a problem when I wore a condom, used lube on it and played with due care and consideration for my partner. Though I must admit a time or two I was pretty rough on it when masturbating and can definitely understand your problem.

I think most people do not like uncircumcised guys because of unfair stereotypes and prejudices.  As long as he washes himself it will be clean if he has foreskin or not.  There really is no reason to get it done especially if he has gone this long without it.  Most people don't like uncircumcised guy because they think it looks weird or it is not what they are used to.  I really don't think it makes a difference in the amount of pleasure.  It will feel good if he knows how to please you with or without it.  It comes down to do you and your husband himself want to hold him up to a standard of "This is how you are supposed to be!"  (If that is circumcised or not.)  I suggest doing whatever makes you too most comfortable.  I really don't think there is a need to do it but if it make you two happy then do it!  I think the biggest part of why one is better than the other is all in our minds!

It means you're a lucky guy with a long foreskin.  There is no law that says a foreskin must retract all the way when hard.  In fact, this could be to your advantage during intercourse as lubrication is not so much an issue in men with foreskins.  The only time this could pose a problem is if you can't pull the skin back at all.  This condition is known as phimosis.  But even then you can stretch it out or a doctor can make a small dorsal slit for correction.  Whatever you do, DON"T GET CIRCUMSIZED!!!!  You have a blessed piece of your body still intact.  Don't let anyone tell you you need to get rid of it.  The stupidity and ignorance especially here in america is rediculously over the top.  There are virtually no times when circumcision is absolutely necessary.  Except in extreme cases (usually when a boy was never properly taught how to clean himself {parent's fault/society's fault}) a boy should remain with all God gave him unless he personally feels compelled to do otherwise.  Bottom line; enjoy what you have, you're incredibly lucky to still have it!
