Circumcision is the removal surgically of the foreskin that covers the head of the male penis.

Im totally with you. As an adult you have the right to this. I know a fella who had a vasectomy at 24. Whats the difference. If you were from a jewish family and demanded that your son be circumsized, there would be No problem. Its probably a case of saving money. I hope you get what you want soon

Hiya Kyle\nI got circumcised at 22. But I wanted to get it done, for the same reasons as you, when I was a teenager. I didn't because, also like you, I didn't wanna feel awkward with my parents. It was a mistake waiting: 1. by the time I got circumcised, my foreskin got so tight I needed to be, 2. when (much later) I did tell my parents they were fine about it and said that, if that's what I needed or wanted, they'd have paid for it earlier and 3. you get a better job done and it heals quicker the younger you are.\nIt's not particularly painful when healing up and, as other people have written to you, done under local or general anaesthetic anyway. A good idea is to wear briefs, rather than boxer shorts, for a while afterwards.\nI'm really happy that I'm now circumcised.\nGood Luck!\nNick

The only answer I could find to your questions on the web was a timetable of 5 - 6 weeks before you could wear tight-fitting clothes and resume "normal" activites...What I'd like to know are your thoughts about the routine circumcision of infants...my hubby and I battle about this, I say we won't do that to our son and he disagrees, says it's important to look the same and not be embarased when you grow up, I say let the kid decide when he's older.....\n\nAny thoughts?

Please pleae do NOT go ahead with circumcision!\n\nRead at the "Intactivism" site.\n\nhttp://www.circumstitions.com/?term=%22urethral+meatus%22\n\nWhatever problem makes you THINK you need circumcision, there is VERY LIKELY another, better solution.\n\nPLEASE! For the sake of your pleasure, and that of your partners (especially if they are female) PLEASE I BEG you research it very very well.  It is harder to reverse ... no.  IT is IMPOSSIBLE!!! to reverse (fully).\n\nTake the time to read.\n\nMen there refer to their adult circumcison as the most foolish thing they ever did, and sex afterwards as like vision without colour.\n\nCanada is one country where it is still legal to do it, but the fee is aimed at trying to dissuade people from this bad bad surgery.\n\nMany problems are better treated with application of steroid cream to the area, rather than amputating the foreskin.\n\nPlease read all about it; what is irrevocably lost to circumcision, the function of the foreskin, etc.

I'm female...However my opinion would be that a circumcision is the most painful.  I had my wisdom teeth removed at the age of 18...never needed a circumcision..LOL

It is a huge myth that an unircumsized penis is less clean. The only way that you are prone to infection is if you do not wash yourself. There is no medical reason to be circumsized. Most people have their boys done now because the father of the baby is or so the boy will "look like other boys." I am a maternity nurse, many parents are researching the pros and cons. And any MD can give you that information. And are you thinking of doing for a partner??? You need to look exactly it entails before you make that decision. A baby can not remember the pain, but could you forget getting the foreskin of your penis cut off without pain med??? Of course not..but yet we do not give babys any anesthesia...just a little added note.

Thirteen seems way too young to make that kind of decision. If I had been allowed to pierce whatever I wanted when I was 13, I'd definitely regret some of them - and I've had lots of piercings! I'd have to say that 16 should be the minimum age for body piercings.

Circumcised is better for hygienic reasons and also to better satisfy a woman.  Its something to do with the flap absorbing motion that would normally be pleasurable to a woman.

You are not too old to have a circumcision, but you really should, if you haven't already, talk with a parent and go see a Urologist to discuss the procedure.  Reasons to absolutely get one would be if you cannot pull back the foreskin to clean properly - daily, or if you have pain or problems associated with the foreskin - irritation, redness, cracking of the skin.  Again - all things to talk over with a Urologist and Mom or Dad.  \n\nIf you have no problems with the foreskin you don't have to have a circumcision.  Lots of men are cuncircumcised.  No worries there.  Best wishes.

Directly Quoted:\nCircumcision substantially reduces an infant´s chances of getting a urinary tract infection (UTI) during the first year of his life. Although the rate of urinary tract infections for infants is not very high (around xxx %), UTI´s are becoming increasingly difficult to treat (see here for a discussion). \nCancer of the penis - that effects xxx men in a thousand - is essentially eliminated in circumcised males. \nResearch shows that males who are circumcised have a lower risk of getting sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). In addition, partners of circumcised males are less likely to contract vaginal infections (e.g. yeast infections). \nCircumcision eliminates foreskin infections that occur throughout childhood. \nCircumcision prevents phimosis, a narrow opening that makes it impossible to retract the foreskin at a later age. \nGenital hygiene is easier after circumcision. \nCircumcision virtually eliminates the accumulation of smegma.

Yes. A circumcised man is a beautiful sight to see. An uncircumcised one is just disgusting.
