Should I get a circumcision?

---

I'm 18 and I've been stretching for about 3 years now (on and off), but the "band" thing is too tight and my head is just way too sensitive (still).
I can pull it back (somewhat) easily when I'm soft, but it's waaay too tight when hard.

So I'm THINKING of having a circumcision done.. or at least expand the band (if there's a procedure for that) and de-sensitize the head...
BUT I would like to know how it went for anyone that got a circumcision done after 17... (How it looks, how it went, etc.)

thank you!!!

Well if the head is way too sensitive, I'd say no, because it's probably going to be a bitch to have it uncovered for a while (although it'll surely speed up desensitising it!).

How was it before you started doing it, and what does on and off mean for you in particular? And of course, what exactly do you mean by way too tight, how far can you pull it back then?

It started off REALLY tight (I couldn't even retract it while flaccid)I think one of the biggest problem is de-sensitizing the head...I HATE touching it, lol... Some people on here say that it's arousing, but I feel like throwing up when I touch it, hahaha.. (no offense to anyone)Funny thing is... it's less sensitive when it's hardI CAN pull it down when I have a semi-erectionBut when I become too hard it hurts like hell (when I have the foreskin retracted)And when I'm not retracted (while hard) and if I try to retract it... the "band" thing gets stuck half way down the head..3 years.. on and off... I think (for me) that would come to a total of maybe once a week? LolSometimes I'd do it like 4 times a week though, but sometimes I wouldn't do it for like 2 weeks.. lolI guess my main problems are.. 1) Desensitizing the head2) The "band" thing... it just seems stuck at that size...Thank you!

An average once a week is really not much :smile: I bet if you worked more regularly and just plain more on it, it'd get fixed. Try stretching forwards too, pulling the skin up and opening it, kinda like you open the sock when you pull it on your foot -- I personally found this gives better control on what gets stretched and how much. And do it regularly, like every time in the shower or before you masturbate.

The sensitivity will become less -- until then, just don't touch it (especially if you really hate that feeling); being gay and a virgin I have no personal experience on the matter, but people say that the vagina feels VASTLY different from the head being touched by a finger or one's palm, so no worries, you might like that kind of touch :wink: Considering you hate the head being touched, I'd wager you wouldn't like it being rubbed by your clothes (ever had the courage to try?).

Anyway, good luck :wink: And keep reporting back.

I would recommend stretching a lot more. When I was doing mine I was doing it for 5-10 minutes 2-3 times a day.As for the sensitivity there isn't much you can do. Just get exposing it to get more used to it.

If you worked on it at least every day for a few months constant i think that you would have no broblem and no need for circumcision. And as said before with you being extremely sensitive I would think it would be most uncomfortable for your head to be flopin around in your pants while your walking or running. best of luck!

Circumcision is a good idea! No need to risk yourself and get harmed down there. Go to an expert, and if your doc says circumcision is the right option, then you take the last step!

Pray tell, what harm are you talking about?

seriously, don't heed the advice of going for a circumcision...it will take off many many many nerves endings...try stretching it more regularly..the efforts will pay off...and lastly, if you are annoyed by the touching of the head, i have heard that 1 or 2 hours before you jump into the shower, go use a smooth cloth and dip it in cold unsweetened tea and just wipe the head with the tea-soaked cloth..remember to wash that area while you are in the showerthe ingredient in tea helps to lower the sensitivity..but not to the point of you cant feel anything..hope it helps...

erm...that i cant really tell how much..but i'm pretty sure it's quite alot..as the foreskin carries alot of touch-sensitive tissues..by removing the foreskin, it's like reducing the number of touch-sensitive tissues...
