Why do you HAVE to? Someone holding a gun to your head? Religious reasons? Health reasons? Feel free not to respond. :)

Because my pee comes out at a 45 degree angle, and if I don't, my chances of ever having kids is much lower. Also, it's sometimes painful.

Oh, I take it that's what those terms meant that you told us to google, which I did not google. :)

:roll:

Right. Something that doesn' come up on those pages is... lack of symmetry, which is the biggest inconvenience ever.

Are you sure you've never had a drink in your life? Because you're either drunk as hell, or stupid as hell if you think that's a girl avatar.

My uncle had it done in his 40's.

He told me it was the worst pain he ever had in his life. Said he couldn't wear underwear for a week.

Good luck.

I've got some five-sizes-too-big pajama pants for the occasion.

Not to mention that they're comfortable as all hell normally.

I wouldn't call myself a fool, just... overly curious :(

Anyway, I can't help but think about those people who put those things in their earlobes to stretch them out, some of them can fit a grapefruit through their earlobes after a few years :Q Have / could you try a less extreme form of that?

That avatar is called "Judge" btw, iirc.

I've already had it done a few times and it's really not that bad of a deal infact right afterwards I went back to work and operated a jackhammer and then went bowling that night on my league.









J/K of course

That's a method that is usually called for by more hippie-like doctors, but might be nice if I could- However, I don't think my roommate would appreciate me doing that 2-3 times per day.

Why the hell would you want less penis? :shocked: I'd pay a lot of money to get back a fully functioning foreskin.

How old are you? If you are young, then you won't remember when you wake up.

Wow, I didnt know it was routine in the US, just read. I kind of never really knew how to tell if I was circumcised, and didnt really want to ask my parents if I had.

No, I'm not a fan of it. I'm getting it done because I have to. For those asking why...

NSFW NSFW >> Google for 'Phimosis' and 'Paraphimosis' << NSFW NSFW

Before you go through with this, ask the doctor about steroid cream. Phimosis shouldn't require circumcision. If your doctor looks at you like you're insane, find a doctor who was educated in India or Europe. American doctors only know how to cut off foreskins. They have no clue about how to cure problems less invasively.

My wife frequents a forum called "The Case Against Circumcision" on Mothering. One of the members, a "Frankly Speaking" would be happy to give you tons of info on circ alternatives for your condition.

You don't have to do this.

Thanks for reading the whole thread, towards the end of which, I linked to an article about steroid cream and listed why I couldn't use it.

Read the thread. I like foreskin. I'm keeping as much of it as possible. I think that circumsizing babies is bad. On me however, there's too much right now, and in the wrong places. That's a big problem.

There's a torrent available for Penn & Teller's show on circumcision, it's good watch for those interested. Not that I would ever condone stealing copyrighted material, of course.
