Wanting to Get Cirucmsized At Age 15. Safe? Posted: 10-15-07 18:01pm
Well I really dislike having a foreskin
and am wanting to get it removed. My mom
said she's cool with it and everything but
I am wondering is it safe? Because I heard
it could be dangerous or soemthing like
that.
Like would I still enjoy sex and stuff
with it off?
I'm just a little concerned, not really
abotu the pain just about the whole
aftermath.
Also, how long would I need to keep it
bandaged or whatever before I can start
masturbating?

It's actually much safer and less
deforming to get it done at your age than
as a baby.
I've heard anywhere from 2-5 weeks of
recovery time, and you *cannot* get a hard
on during this time, or you risk pulling
out the stitches.
As for sex... You will be loosing a LOT of
sensitivity. You will not get as
pleasurable or intense stimulation as you
will be missing a lot of nerve endings.
The foreskin acts to cushion your penis
and the woman's vagina.

Are you having problems with your
foreskins or is this more a "looks" thing
for you? At 15 you may not realize what
you are giving up and find yourself
regretting the decision later on when you
recall the different feeling you had while
intact. Why don't you give yourself a few
more years before deciding on this. If
most your buddies are cut and you are
feeling odd man out or something - cheer
up - there are millions of guys like me
who never got the chance to choose.

Yes it's because I do feel weird knowing
that everyone is cut. That's why I never
wanted to do anything sexually that
invovles my penis because I'm scared what
the girls will think. And if somehow they
don't like it, I don't want to be known as
that guy with the foreskin.
Also, when you say that I will not get as
pleasurable will I feel the same as other
men circumsized or will it be diffrent
because I got it cut later on.

it is very safe, as a matter of fact in
the first year of life, urinary tract
infections (UTIs) happen less often in
circumcised boys than in boys who are not
circumcised, some studies have shown that
circumcised males are a little less likely
than males who have not been circumcised
to get a sexually transmitted disease
(STD), including HIV
(http://children.webmd.com/tc/circumcision
-why-it-is-done). with regards to it being
pleasurable, sure it is! you still have
your penis.

Er yeah...aesthetics alone probably aren't
a very good reason to go through that, but
you won't necessarily lose "a LOT" of
sensitivity. That's simply propaganda;
some men that have it done late in life
claim an improvement, never mind parity.
This is because the idea that less skin =
less nerves = less pleasure is a gross
oversimplification of a very complex
thing.

Not everyone is cut!! Circumcision rates
are dropping dramatically. I think it's
about 50/50 now.

Wait a few years until you're more
experienced.
Don't assume that because you have a
foreskin, the girl isn't going to like it.
Many women love it, actually, as long as
you keep clean.
Many men wish they still had theirs so
they could have made the decision to get
rid of it (or keep it) themselves.

Catcher, I can't ultimately tell you what
you should do, but don't be ashamed of
your forskin! Circumcision is falling in
populariy and it's an entirely arbitrary
social standard. Doesn't something seem a
little wrong when some people consider it
abnormal to not surgically alter your
genitals? Join the movement to abolish
non-sensicle social standards, be proud of
looking the way nature intended! I know I
am.

I'm 21 and was cercumcised 6 weeks ago.
The penis will be bruised and swolen for a
good week in which you will prob have to
keep changing the bandage in that time.
You won't need to but if you don't want
blood on your clothes it would be best to
bandage up. The stitches took a good 3
week to desolve or was safe to pull out.
The penis head was extremely sensitive on
boxershorts for a good 3 weeks also. When
I went out I bandaged it up so it wouldn't
rub on my clothing. 6 weeks on I don't
feel my penis rubbin on my clothing
anymore which is great. I could masterbate
3 weeks after the op.
You would need a good 2 week or work or
school. Also preventing erections would be
impossible and when you get one within the
first week the PAIN is crazy so be
carefull in the mornings and not to rush
out of best with a erection on because you
will tear the skin as I did but its healed
up ok.
6 weeks on and I am due to go back to the
urologist for a check up. Every thing is
ok I guess. Underneath the penis head were
the banjo string was its still a bit
swolen.
Its a small operation and you will be home
the same day as the operation unless you
have any issues. I had to say in over
night because when I went to leave to go
home I started to bleed heavily from the
penis and had to go back in the theater
room for them to zap some blood vessals
and add more stitches. I was home the next
day.
