Why was i circumcised

---

Just one question.

Why was i curcumcised? Its been hard growing up and having a different penis to everyone else. im too embarrased to ask my parents and it also raises more questions when i start having sex with girls. i know nobody who is circumcised, and also, am i missing out on anything (like better mastubation)

A list of possable reasons would be kool :laughing:

Thanks, Ki-Chi-Mi

If you really want to know ask your parents. they have every right to tell and don't be shy. Its your body and you have the right to know. i Asked mine why i wasn't Circumcised they said its cause of our Culture.

Quote:Why was i curcumcised? .... im too embarrased to ask my parentsYour parents are the only ones who know the reason, and it shouldn't be that big a deal to ask them.Are they Jewish or Moslem?

Whahey! replys! ^_^1) I have asked before and i didnt get a strait answer plus i was like, 102) Nope, i am baptised christian (allthough not a practising christian)IIRC i was circumcesed when i was 4/5 (I also remember stiches and pain when i got in the bath for some time afterwards) so it could be medical afaik,Hey, maybe one day ill pluck up the courage to ask them once and for all

it could be medicalThat sounds like the most probable reason, but only your parents know for sure. Now that you are older, it may be easier for them to talk to you like an adult. There's nothing to lose by trying.

I doubt my parents wud be open about it, isnt it legal in the UK for patients to veiw their own medial record? if so could i do that?

It is in the U.S., not sure how it works for minors....or how it works in the U.K., or whether your parents would have to sign off on it.You would just walk into the doctor's office and ask ask to see your file? Might that not raise some questions? You could just call your doctor and ask him.You don't know how open your parents will be if you don't ask them. You might be pleasantly surprised. If they're not, then you're not any worse off. What is the down side?

Quote:when i start having sex with girls. i know nobody who is circumcised, and also, am i missing out on anything (like better mastubation)honestly i think that circumcised look alot better than un-circumcised....you can also get a pretty nasty infection from not cleaning it well enough down there...like alot of little boys forget/dont know how to do...and from the masterbation prospect...i think it would be better circumcised....becasue the secitive head is exposed and not covered by a flap of skin...hope this helps

Hey buddy...no worries. I'm not sure about outside circumstances surrounding the issue -- like how close you are to your parents, how comfortable with "that kind of talk", etc. -- but I asked all my friends for you: the answers? Most said for cleanliness, some said for religious/cultural reasons and one said for a medical reason...his foreskin was so tight that it wouldn't retract. But ALL said they asked their parents. I asked my mom and my family is NOT close or open to stuff like that! But she told me it was for cleanliness mostly, but my dad was and so they both thought they should. My friends just had a baby and the father is cut, but they decided it should be up to their son when he's older to decide for himself. There's so many reasons to do it....do you want yours or not want yours? I would call my doctor and ask him...if he didn't deliver you, then ask him to find out, even if it's secretly from your mom or dad....OR if you know your dad's "status", then ask him...or just tell your parents that you're "different" then others and wondered why. It'll be fine! Hang in there kiddo! grinPS...you wanted a novel, right? :S

I think your out of your element here talking about the advantages of being circumcised, or not. Just think, if you have your ovaries removed, there will be fewer things for you to worry about.They're both OK, but what's more accepted is what one is used to. And if it's done for a necessary medical reason, then it is certainly better to be circumcised.

Thanks this has really boosted my confidence knowing that there are people who i can talk to who wont make stupid comments, i shall ask my parents after alot of thinking mind, my parents arn't 'average' if that makes sense.Well this forum rules updates bookmarks in headThanks guys

No problem...happy to help. If you hang around you'll see that a lot of people have similar issues and situations (even your issue has come up in the past).

thank u guys, im deinatly sticking around here :D. i might ask tmorrow

Quote:I think your out of your element here talking about the advantages of being circumcised, or not. i realize that im not the owner of my very own penis, however he did express concern about girls opinions when he started to have sex...i was simply trying to let him know that from a females perspective there is nothing wrong or unattractive with being circumcised.Quote:Just think, if you have your ovaries removed, there will be fewer things for you to worry about.and a flap of skin over the penis is a heck of alot different from my ovaries....i think the relationship between my ovaries and a male body part would be the testicles, if u wanted to make a comparison.....the comparison you made would be like if i compared you being castrated to someone deciding to have there hymen removed

Your comparison is not a valid one, because you wrongly assume that the foreskin serves no useful purpose. Other than for religious or or medical reasons (and you can argue about religious reasons), there is no good purpose in removing a foreskin. Once it's done, it's done, and life goes on, no matter why it was removed.My issue is not that you don't have a foreskin, but that you don't know what purpose it serves, versus the benefits of removing it.

I never at any point in time said that it serves no purpose...I was simply answering questions, and stating my opinion...I didn’t say that someone should or should not get circumcised....I just said that I think masturbation would be easier because you wouldn’t have to deal with the foreskin blocking sensation at all...and as far as the visual aspect of it....it is my opinion that circumcised looks better and cleaner...that is also the opinion of many of the girls I know...and u don’t have the right to get on someone’s case about something that doesn’t even involve you

I just said that I think masturbation would be easier because you wouldn’t have to deal with the foreskin blocking sensation at all...That is completely incorrect and shows that you don't know how an intact penis functions. If you can find someone who actually has one, you should ask him about it.> and as far as the visual aspect of it....it is my opinion that circumcised looks better and cleaner...that is also the opinion of many of the girls I know...That is the opinion of girls who come from a place where circumcision is the norm. That does not apply to people in other parts of the world. The OP is from the UK. How common do you think circumcision is there for non-Jews and non-Muslims? How much you want to bet girls there would have the opposite opinion?The point is that women (as opposed to girls) should realize that a penis looks and functions fine, regardless of its foreskin state. How it is for the man, though, is open for discussion.> and u don’t have the right to get on someone’s case about something that doesn’t even involve you Anyone can comment on posts that contain things they don't disagree with. You think a circumcised penis looks good? Great. So do I. You should have left it at that.

Why do you insist on escalating the situating???...I wasn't making a personal attach on you....and im not forcing my opinions on anyone....i just don't think you should be lashing out at people....the only reason I even replied to your first post was because you stated it like I was an imbecile ....and on the masturbation topic...i wasn't just pulling that out of thin air....allot of males that I know have told me that it is easier without foreskin.....i don't know how it is for you, and I don't pretend to....in my opinion you shouldn't get so attached and upset over these posts

allot of males that I know have told me that it is easier without foreskinAre they comparing it to when they masturbated when they did have a foreskin, presumably when they were infants?Have you actually ever spoken to a man who has a foreskin about foreskin issues?

yes i have, im not an expert mind you but im not completly uneducated
