I was circumsized when I was born, and I have never regretted having it done. But my best friend was not cut when he was born and he is seriously considering having it done. He seems to be wanting to do it for the wrong reasons. Such as his girlfriend. She told him that she wouldn't sleep with him again if he didn't get it cut. I could really use some words of wisdom to relay to my buddy. Thanks you guys!

Well, I can't speak to the female's perspective, but I have read that having sex with men with uncircumstized penises does raise the risk of cervical cancer, because it is caused by a virus or bacteria that can breed in an uncircumsized environment.

Also, check the posts, because I think I recall a post by a guy who was recently circumcized...you might have your friend contact that guy.

Good luck.

well Clint, my words of wisdom for your friend is this...he shouldnt have to put himself through physical pain just to please his girlfriend,at the adult age, the risks associated with circumsion are fairly high, and he should only consider chancing it if its what HE wants. there is nothing wrong with being "uncut" its perfectly normal, and perhaps he should ask his girlfriend how she would feel if he told her he wouldnt sleep with her until she had her clitoris circumsised......after all whats good for the goose is good for the gander

DUMP THE BITCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree that threatening to not sleep with a man because he's uncut is a terrible, horrible and just plain mean thing to do. I would never ask my man to do such a thing. Then again, I've had basically no experience with an uncut gentleman, and I chalk that up to the luck of the draw--but that's beside the point.
Clint, darlin' I say that if your buddy's woman is that petty, he deserves better. Here's to hoping he sees that, and that goes for all the other uncut fellas who've had second thoughts.

unless for medical reasons there is no reason to be
circumcized; soThe perception that foreskin is unhygienic is a myth, says George C. Denniston, M.D., president of the Seattle-based Doctors Opposing Circumcision. "Foreskin protects against disease; it doesn't cause disease. If foreskin is unhygienic, eyelids should be considered unhygienic."

The procedure is even being questioned among some non-Orthodox Jewish parents who are departing from the traditional bris -- the ceremony of circumcision that initiates a baby into a covenant with God. Instead, they turn to Jewish laws that forbid inflicting pain to any living thing.

A 1989 AAP policy statement recognized the pain and trauma caused by the procedure and attendant behavioral changes among the young patients. Still, circumcision is the only surgery in America routinely performed without anesthesia. The AAP now recommends analgesic cream or shots of local anesthetic
.facts.
and i agree with lilith dump her

Get him to talk to his Doctor about it.

There are conflicting schools of thought and he needs

to know the facts.

Oldfart's right - there are conflicting schools of thought about it from a medical point of view. Just as there are women who like cut dicks and uncut dicks, long ones and thin ones and who knows probably bright purple ones.
Your friend's concern should not be whether or not he'll get laid by chopping off his foreskin - but whether or not he wants to undergo a surgical procedure that isn't necessary.
It all stems down to one issue - he isn't happy with his body. Why not? And is circumcision going to fix that? I don't think so.
And he needs to ask himself - how's he going to feel if this relationship he's in now falls through for other reasons, and his next girlfriend tells him she absolutely LOVES uncut men??? What's he gonna do, stick it back on???
I think he needs to work this out with his girlfriend, and if she still insists he gets cut, well maybe then I agree with lilith - she's not worth it.
My 2c!

Well Clint, there isn't much to be added to the thoughts and feelings above. All I can say is that having several medical people in my family, they have all said that there is no medical problems related to retaining the foreskin. So I would say, hey you were born with it, so God reckoned it was good for somethin'!

Also, I`ve got one, i thought about gettin it removed then thought again, and I ain't had no complaints! (In fact the opposite has been the case!)

I was circumsized as a kid, for medical reasons, and as yet have had no sexual partners (not that old either, so long road ahead). I have a clear (to see, not transparent) 'ring' of scar tissue (including stitch 'holes') arround the end of my penis, where the foreskin would have been attached, is this common or was I given a botched job as I knew no better at the time?

I guess this is aimed at those who are also circumsized, or women who have seen many circumsized men.

Thanks, ste

Well years ago surgery wasn't advanced as today and generally when you went under the knife, you received a noticeable scar. Although I am not circumcised, I had a appendectomy and I have a noticeable scar, complete with dots where the staples were.

My guy isn't circumcized and I love it! I don't know why he escaped the knife (it's not something I plan to ask his mother over tea!) but I'm certainly not complaining.

My question is: once your buddy goes under the knife, what will this pushy woman want him to do next???

I really appreciate all of the advice that you guys have given. I am forwarding all of the comments to my friend and I am sure that he will appreciate them as well. I will keep you guys posted on what's going on.

Agree with Lilith 100% Dump the bitch - she likes as he is or it is not worth it. Do not change unless there is a good medical reason. A foreskin is not one.

Find a more tolerant lover or at least one who likes him the way he is.
