Then why do females get circumcised? That's according to these guys. They cut their clitoris so they don't get turned on fast?


My vote was "No", by the way.

Female circumcision is performed predominantly in locations where women are nothing more than baby-making machines that aren't supposed to feel any pleasure when having sex, because they are DIRTY FILTHY WHORES, now IN THE NAME OF ALLAH GO PUT SOME CLOTHES ON. *insert stoning here*

I was circumsiced when I was 19, by choice.
During the circumcision I didn't feel anything until the surgery was almost over and yes, it was really painful.
After the circumsion, it was about the most unfomfortable month of my life. It was hard to walk or to do anyting because my part was so sensitive, and it hurt everytime it touched anything.
But now I'm glad that I did it. :)

my choices were to be bothered by the repost police or the thread bump police. :(

Okay, if you know that people are gonna get upset at you about what you post, don't post it. Especially if it's about circumcision.

Actually, in some men the foreskin can be excessively tight, and therefore uncomfortable or impossible to retract. These men benefit from adult circumcision.

If yes, how was the experience?

One of my friends is about to undergo one and he is a bit nervous.

Uh... circumcision YEARS after child birth? Christ, ow :Q

Actually I believe it's less painless and heals faster since you can be numbed and aren't forced to pee and poop on your wound.

This is definitely a strong feeling issue!

My husband was circumcized as a baby, and that was one of the reasons I chose to have both my boys circumcized. My first son, had a very "tight" foreskin that was very hard to retract so for him it definitely was for health reasons. My first was done at 6 weeks, cause I was torn as whether to do it or not. My 2nd was done at a week old.

There's absolutely was no pain involved. They put a cream on and around the baby's penis that numbs the whole area, then after 1 hour, they use needles to freeze everything. Both my boys did'nt make a sound when that was done. Then when all is completely frozen, the Dr. literally pulls up the skin and snips. As he does that, we gave the baby a brown sugar ball dipped in grapefruit juice to distract him. Neither of my boys cried at all during the surgery and it only took about 10 mins. if that.

It took about 2 days to heal, and all we had to do was apply vaseline to the tip to avoid irritation.

As for a circumsized penis feeling more numb...my husband does have fantastic stamina, but he certainly does'nt have any complaints about the end result (if you know what I mean). ;)

I don't really have any preference myself...my ex was uncircumsized, and had no stamina. I'm sure it was just a meer coincidence. :)

I've heard that circumcised males have been scientifically been proven to have a much low pain threshold. saying that infants cannot feel pain is absurd.

good question.

I'm uncircumcised and couldn't imagine being any other way unless it was necessary for medical reasons.
