How big are circumcision scars usually? how far down the shaft do they go?

They prefer a bigger one. They prefer a tight one. Not only they like the look of it, but they also like the thought that the foreskin was mutilated. I already investigated all of that, that is why I know.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe “medical” reasons for circumcision are for Doctors to make MONEY!!!\nCircumcision is “nothing” compared to other much more terrible things that people do for MONEY, when MONEY is involved EVERYRHING is possible, MONEY is the priority not moral values, not ethics, not health, not wrong or right, not even human life, etc. People are selfish by nature. And that is soooo sad. $$$CASH$$$\n\nSimply does not matter if circumcision has advantages or not; he has the right to his body to be intact, and that overrides everything else. And btw it only has disadvantages, see below.\n\nMOTHERS, the feelings of mothers who observed the circumcision of their babies. Go here if you have the courage:\nhttp://www.circumcision.org/mothers.htm\nThey do not remember the pain when they grow up, but I wonder what kind of neurological/emotional damage it does to inflict such severe pain to such a young one!\n\nIn the US circumcision started to stop boys from masturbating; they will take much longer to reach the orgasm, and the orgasm will not be as intense, but that will not stop them.\nNowadays the “medical” reasons to circumcision are for Doctors to make MONEY!!!\n\nRELIGION--If God intended boys to not have "skin" He would have made them so.\nAlso, if you examine the bible, lest just say that is full of terrible things that are considered very illegal nowadays, and many of those terrible things are AGAINST WOMEN. Women, how would you like it if those things get legalized?\nhttp://www.nocirc.org/religion/\n\nHYGIENE--Use a new invention, soap and water!!! Women produce much more “smegma”, all kinds of discharges, wetness, and smells; because of physiologic and anatomical reasons, and how would you feel if they cut your vulva lips??? Women, why don’t you answer my question, are you afraid? Women are more likely to get urinary tract infections and no one suggests we surgically alter them at birth to reduce the risks! Just one of many double standards and laws that always treat men worse.\n\nMEDICAL REASONS--No medical reasons. It is not a birth defect! A extremely small chance of a complication do not justify the removal of the foreskin, if so, why don't we remove the tonsils and the appendix when a child is born, and the chance of complications of the tonsils and the appendix is much greater. And what is even greater is the chance of breast cancer so the best thing to do is to remove the breast glands of young girls or at least remove them at the first sign of trouble without trying any alternative treatments first in order to preserve the breast(women, how do you like it now?). And for infections of all the organs, including female organs, use a new invention called antibiotics. Talking about complications, in fact many baby boys die each year from circumcision and related complications.\nEVEN if “TRUE phimosis” occurs, instead of chopping it off like barbarians!, use Conservative Treatments like:   \n-Topical Medication(non-traumatic and non-destructive)\n-Dilation and Stretching(non-traumatic and non-destructive)\n-Combination treatment(non-traumatic and non-destructive)\n-Preputioplasty is the medical term for plastic surgery of the prepuce or foreskin(many methods).\nIf you want more detail on Conservative Treatments, go here:\nhttp://www.cirp.org/library/treatment/phimosis/\nhttp://www.circinfo.org/alternatives.html\nThe foreskin can still be tight even after puberty, and it is natural, not TRUE phimosis.\nAnd now they invented a new reason to make money, the risk of STD in uncircumcised men. Well actually uncircumcised men have more protection, but in practical terms that protection means nothing, because circumcised or not, if you have sex without protection and your partner have an STD

so that's where my foreskin went after the circumsism

NO, sorry!\nForeskin advantage.\n20 good reasons against the circumcision!\n\n1. Full penis length and circumference. The "prepuce" (foreskin) constitutes 50% or more of the skin system of the penis. If unfolded and spread flat, the average adult foreskin measures 60-90 square centimeters (10-14 square inches), or about the size of an index card. The foreskin creates a visible longer penis, especially when the foreskin extends beyond the head of the penis. Also, the double-layered tissue of the foreskin engorges with blood during erection and creates a visibly and sensually thicker shaft and glans.When the engorged foreskin retracts behind the coronal ridge of the glans, it often creates a wider and more pronounced "ridge" that many partners find especially stimulating during penetrative intercourse. The circumcised penis appears truncated and thinner than a full-sized intact penis.\n\n2. Protection. The sleeve of tissue known as the foreskin normally covers the glans and protects it from abrasion, drying, callusing (keratinization), and environmental contaminants. The glans is intended by nature to be a protected internal organ, like the female clitoris. The effect of an exposed glans and resulting keratinization on human sexual response has never been studied. Increasing reports by circumcised men indicate that keratinization causes a loss of sexual sensation, pleasure and fulfillment.\n\n3. Ridged bands. The inner foreskin contains bands of densely innervated, sexually responsive tissue. They constitute a primary erogenous zone of the human penis and are important for realizing the fullness and intensity of sexual response.\n\n4. Gliding action. The foreskin is the only moving part of the penis. During any sexual activity, the foreskin and glans work in unison; their mutual interaction creates a complete sexual response. In heterosexual intercourse, the non-abrasive gliding of the penis in and out of itself within the vagina facilitates smooth and pleasurable intercourse for both partners. Without this gliding action, the corona of the circumcised penis can function as a one-way valve, dragging vaginal lubricants out into the drying air and making artificial lubricants essential for non-painful intercourse.\n\n5. Specialized sensory tissue. In addition to the "ridged bands" mentioned above, thousands of coiled fine-touch receptors (Meissner’s corpuscles) constitute the most important sensory component of the penis. The foreskin contains branches of the dorsal nerve and between 10,000 and 20,000 specialized erotogenic nerve endings of several types, which are capable of sensing slight motion and stretch, subtle changes in temperature, and fine gradations in texture.\n\n6. The frenulum. This is a highly nerve-laden web of tissue that tethers the inner foreskin to the underside of the glans. It is similar to the frenula found under the tongue, the upper lip and the clitoral hood (female foreskin). For many intact men, the penile frenulum is a male "G-spot" that is highly pleasurable when repeatedly stretched and relaxed during sexual activity. Depending on the surgical method used, the frenulum is partially to completely destroyed by circumcision.\n\n7. Proper blood flow. The foreskin contains several feet of blood vessels, including the frenular artery and branches of the dorsal artery. The loss of this rich vascularization interrupts normal blood flow to the shaft and glans of the penis, damaging the natural function of the penis and altering its development.\n\n8. Immunological defense. The soft mucosa of the inner foreskin produces plasma cells, which secrete immunoglobulin antibodies, and antibacterial and antiviral proteins, such as the pathogen-killing enzyme called lysozyme. All of the human mucosa (the linings of the mouth, eyelids, vagina, foreskin and an.us) are the body's first line of defense against disease. This benefit of the foreskin could be one possible explanati

I must suppose you’re a kid and so you just would like know if your penis will become longer after the development!\nTherefore, my answer is:\nsure, after the development, which begins within 12-14 years, your penis will be longer than now!\nYou know that the average measure is 5-6 in. and so your penis should reach these measures.\nIt just is a genetic matter and to know in advance how long your penis will be you should even know the penis length of your relatives.

The first answerer here is obviously circumcised. With a circumcision you will lose a 3x5" area of skin that is loaded with nerve cells, i.e. pleasure. Intercourse will also become less pleasurable for your partner(s) as the natural glide mechanism will be absent. As far as being more normal - rates of this procedure are on the decline in the USA, and most other places in the world have far lower rates than the US. It's done here for religion or money. Hospitals can charge insurance companies for the surgery and they can sell the foreskin as viable tissue for transplant procedures.\n\nYou don't say what your problem is, is it your personal feeling about how it looks or some medical problem? If there are medical issues, you should seek alternative opinions as there are other ways to deal with issues than surgery. And should you go in for surgery - be aware that things can go wrong.\n\nUnless it is absolutely medically necessary, you should leave your penis in it's natural state and keep the foreskin.

having foreskin is normal. no need to get operated if the foreskin moves back without any problem. if it is painful to pull it backward, then only you need to get operated (the operation is called as circumcision)

What do you mean you cant pull it down.\n\nAre you uncircumcised and you cant pull the skin back over the glans (head) of your penis ........like it wont fit through the hole in you skin?\n\nIf so you should go to the doctor and have it checked, you don't want to not beagle to retract the foreskin for a number of reasons.\nOne is lose of sensation because your glans aren't exposed so your really missing out when it comes to sex and sensation, two is cleanliness. \nI know they can correct the situation, see if you had always been retracting the foreskin as you grew it would have stretched out and you would be able to expose the head of your penis with out a problem. But you grew and the opening doesn't grow bigger it is just naturally stretched from pulling it back. Now your too big to fit through the opening so they probably have to open it some, not pleasant but not the worst think in the world in comparison to what you will be missing and risking!

Each part of our body is proportionate with all the rest. So, for example, if you extend your index finger, the length from your thumb to your index finger is the length of your private part. That is the way it is. The average length is more in the realm of 5 to 6 inches. If a guy is especially tall, his may be longer. If a guy is especially short, his may be shorter. But overall that is where it is. Anyone who exaggerates like 7 inches is in a dream world. Hang in there. (smile)\n\nSo the answer is pretty much when we stop growing, in our twenties.

The shaft is the length of the penis from the base to just below the head

one who calls himself "batman" is wrong.\n\nCircumcision is a surgery that removes foreskin, i.e. a fold of skin that goes around the head of penis in relaxed state. I do not think there is any difference in erect state (scars maybe?)\n\nCircumcision makes lots of sence in hot climate with scarce water, as foreskin folds retain some of urine (no matter how hard you shake it), which becomes breeding ground for germs. That's why both Jews and Arabs have it as part of their religion. \n\nIt is also a common practice in modern US, regardless of religion, and I do not know why.

my vote is for uncircumcized. You are more sensitive, just practice good hygiene, circumcision will NOT change the size of your penis!!! Yes most american men are circumcized, but  we are the only country that makes this a 'normal' practice.Hope this helps. My husband is 'uncut' and I wouldn't change it for the world!!!

Don't circumcise... There are lifelong negative consequences to circumcision. Most people don't realize that it permanently removes a huge amount of sexually erogenous tissue - it's not just skin that's being cut off. No person in the world would want less sexual feeling. \n\nThe foreskin also provides the penis with a natural lubrication as well as fantastic gliding action that is extremely comfortable for the female partner. A circumcised man has to thrust long and hard to achieve orgasm. Because of circumcision, the head of his penis is somewhat desensitized and leathery like the elbow, not smooth and moist. The uncircumcised man is aroused much more quickly so he only needs to thrust gently. Because he is thrusting gently he can remains close to the clitoris thereby allowing the woman to reach orgasm. The long hard thrusting misses the clitoris. \n\nIn addition there is an extreme pleasure producing area on the inner foreskin known as the ridged bands. This zone stretches out and unfoldes to cover the shaft of the penis during an erection, adding even more pleasure. \n\nWhen the penis is flaccid, the foreskin also protects the corona of the penis head, which is extremely sentitive to touch. It's like, if you have a camera, you put a lens cover over it to protect it from scratches and abrasion. Well if you have something as sensitive as the head of the penis, you want that to be proteted too.   \n\nMost importantly, circumcision violates your son's right to decide for himself how he wants his penis to be. Why do that? There are many circumcised men who would rather not have been circumcised.\n\nGo with the natural penis, it's a much better penis...!

Strange, but you say nothing else that can clarify the situation better.\nI think you was referring to the “foreskin opening”. Isn't?\nHow big are they? \nHow and why is one closed?\nPlease let me know more….

Slowly pull a little at a time back to slowly stretch the opening. Do not get cirucmcised, it sucks (first hand experience). Just slowly expand the opening by pullining the foreskin back until you feel slight pressure while erect, hold it for a little bit then just let it go back, keep doing this and in about a month you should be able to pull back your foreskin.

Yes, the majority of men in the United States are circumcised.  If they laugh at you because you look like you're circumcised or laugh at circumcision itself, here's a few points to look at:\n\nCircumcision does indeed prevent urinary tract infections.\nhttp://preventdisease.com/news/articles/080105_circumcision_prevents.shtml\n\nI've actually had first hand experience as a child and used to suffer from them every year.  I was then circumcised on the Doctor's advice at a young age and the infections stopped immediately after.  So there is absolutely merit in the claims that is does prevent infections.\n\nIt has also been found to reduce your partner's cervical cancer risk since circumcised men have less risk for contracting penile human papillomavirus (HPV) infections.\nhttp://preventdisease.com/news/articles/male_circumcision_cuts_cancer.shtml\n\nCircumcision Advantages\nhttp://preventdisease.com/news/articles/circumcision_advantages.shtml\n\nHowever there are many men who feel antagonistic towards their parents and feel like something was taken away from them and consequently feel very sensitive about the subject.\n\nHere's an article from both sides on the Pros and Cons:\nhttp://preventdisease.com/news/articles/circumcision_pros_and_con.shtml

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.
