How long does a circumcision take to heal to the point where I can have sex?

It was 7 days in my case

This will vary from person to person. 7 days sounds very soon to me. It wasn’t long before I masturbated just by rubbing my glans penis but basically one has to be patient. You don’t want to wreck anything - you have to treat the penis carefully. But it will feel amazing when you do finally have sex. You will most likely need a lube of some sort and others on here know more about lube than I do.

Thank you

Just reading your previous posts. Have you chosen a circumciser yet?

Not yet, there has been a lot of delay for seeing a doctor. I’m going on Monday tho and I have the intention of getting one on the NHS. If they faff around I’m just going to go private!

Ok cool. I hope you get it sorted.

It really depends on how quickly you heal .. varies from person to person. The usual rough guide is 6 weeks. For me, I could masturbate at 9 days as soon as the stitches were out (quick healer) and sex about 3 weeks to 1 month.

I’d say I’m a quick healer too. Cheers!

Hi, as the guys have said realistically you're looking at 4 to 6 weeks it all depends on how quickly you heal. I think if you try and start masturbating as soon as you can it helps with the healing but you do have to take things slowly.
