Excellent news. Do you know what type of circumcision you want (eg tight/loose)?

Iā€™m not sure, where can I find more information?

ā€¢ in reply toSamsauce

Samsauce If youā€™re being circumcised by NHS as a medical cure for phimosis there is only one style which is low, i.e. scar line may be 5-7mm from base of glans. This is because the narrow opening preventing retraction needs to be widened first so they cut from the end down the top surface and then around the base of the glans holding the foreskin apart with Mosquito clamps as they proceed.

When you see pictures or hear of someone having a ā€˜lowā€™ cut itā€™s very likely a medical circumcision done to cure phimosis.

I was circumcised by NHS as an adult and extremely happy with result, without bragging itā€™s cosmetically neater than many I see pictured on various sites.

I hope this helps to reassure. The best thing to do is to ask your Urologist whatā€™s involved and to describe what you should expect. Donā€™t get hung up on styles, itā€™s not worth it. Not being able to retract means youā€™re about to gain feeling once circumcised, not lose it.

Thanks a lot. I really appreciate it. I was worried about getting it done with the NHS after Iā€™ve heard about loads of private doctors being better

Do you know anything about loose and tight ones?

ā€¢ in reply toSamsauce

I had mine done to cure fungal & balanitis outbreaks so in pre-op said to the surgeon that I ā€œwanted it all offā€ as I didnā€™t want to come back. Iā€™m a grower and ended up tight as a drum, no movement when fully erect (unless I sit down). My scrotum doesnā€™t get pulled up giving me a turkey neck like some other guys tightly cut. Iā€™m uncovered when flaccid so little risk of fungal flare-ups. I had a suspicion they induced an erection to ensure accuracy during op but I was under a general so donā€™t really know.

I got what I wanted but others talk about looser cuts and they therefore have some slack skin to play with which may be better for masturbation. Each to his own.

Okay, thanks for the advicešŸ‘šŸ‘

ā€¢ in reply toSamsauce

Iā€™m sure that User1957 is totally correct. I donā€™t know anything about NHS circumcision. My sons were circumcised privately and that was 12 years ago for the younger one so you may not be able to choose high or low.

I had a tight circumcision (see my recent posts for photos). I have no shaft skin movement and I love it like that, but you may prefer a looser cut with skin movement. Iā€™m sure that there are lots of examples on this site of that as well so worth having a look.

How long was your healing and recovery time?

FWIW - the results I've seen posted here from Dr Kahn in London are pretty fantastic. Great cosmetic results and his circumcisions seem to heal faster than most other folks. I don't know if his price is within your wheelhouse, but were it me, I'd definitely try to work with him.

My heads never been exposed and sex is pretty shit tbf, the only good bit is the actual orgasm, the build up is boring and I canā€™t fee a thing. The only thing that keeps me going is the fact I know it will feel good!! At least if I get circumcised I will feel pleasure (granted maybe not as much as if my dick actually worked it the first place lol) If there was nothing wrong I wouldnā€™t chop it off!!

ā€¢ in reply toSamsauce

Just to manage your expectations and in case you didnā€™t know, if youā€™ve never been able to expose your glans then you will find it will be hypersensitive for the first couple of weeks. From memory, Iā€™d compare it to touching your eyeball and certainly uncomfortable when it touches material. Take a week off work!

NOWHARD is out to lunch on this one. You would be hard pressed to find a guy here who was circumcised for phimosis who didn't consider it a 1000% improvement.

Samsauce profile image
Samsauceā€¢ in reply toxhardwarex

To be honest masterbation and sex get boring because I donā€™t feel the pleasure. Iā€™m sure the feeling will be so much better!!

ā€¢ in reply toSamsauce

Youā€™re right, it'll make a world of difference and youā€™ll wonder why you didnā€™t do it earlier.

It can open up a whole new demension to having sex. It did for me and most me who get circumcised are very satisfied. I had been retracting my foreskin for a year before the circumcision, and it made the transition to having the glans exposed very easy.

Sounds like you have a great doctor! My doctor recommended I get circumcised, so I had it done in March of this year. I love her for it, and it's the best decision I've ever made in my whole life! Congratulations on your decision!

U was really happy with the consultation after Iā€™ve been told that many doctors were against circumcision

Circedandlovingit profile image
Circedandlovingitā€¢ in reply toSamsauce

I experienced some negatively too, but I keep going, and got some different opinions that helped me to decide.

According to many cultures, you are soon to become a real man!

Circedandlovingitā€¢ in reply toSamsauce

You'll love being circumcised, most men who have it done do!

Eight months apparently NOWHARD, long enough for any teenager to put their sex life on hold and realise it's futile trying to remedy severe 'pinhole' phimosis.

IMHO you ought to try and be supportive and positive rather than try and make him feel bad about his decision to seek medical intervention. You clearly have an agenda.

You have tried the stretching and all of that sometimes it just doesn't work it is time then to move on and have it sorted. I think you have never been able to retract your foreskin it will be a new beginning for you, you will have very sensitive glans at first but that will improve in time. you will wonder why you didn't do it earlieršŸ˜Š

He does have an agenda, an it's to discourage men from getting circumcised. He's an intactivist, and has never been supportive of anyone here considering a circumcision. He has no credibility, and was banned from another forum for promoting crackpot ideas. pegym.com/forums/gym/117381...

FYI many men have good result from stretching exercises to loosen a tight fire skin. Check out tightforeskinnomore.com

Iā€™ve been trying for months, not working for me so Iā€™ll get it chopped!! Lol

Circedandlovingitā€¢ in reply toSamsauce

Congratulations on your decision. The real fun begins shortly after getting circumcised, when your penis starts coming into it's own. I had it done 14 weeks ago, and it looks and feels better by the day. I love being circumcised and you will too!

Hi guys, At the end of the day it is Samsauce decision and we should respect that whichever way he goes when he meets the urologist. and we should supporting him in that.

Thank you for the kind words, I really appreciate it

Circumcision does away with manhood? That's a new one! Are you competing for the position of becoming the number one anti-circumcision troll here?

Clearly you have some issues you have with your own body if you have to do penis extension exercises. Iā€™ve tried to fix my condition on my own and itā€™s not worked so Iā€™ve accepted that Iā€™m gonna have to seek medical help. If it goes wrong then Iā€™ll have to deal with it. I appreciate all the guys support and Iā€™m sure they will give me advice if things do go wrong (Iā€™m sure they wonā€™t though). Everyone else has chosen to be supportive and they donā€™t have to say anything if they donā€™t want. I really appreciate the support and advice I have been given by everyone!!

Seems like you've never met a foreskin, you didn't like!

The posters on this forum are either seeking advice and reassurance or offering information and support based on their own experience. They do not expect (and certainly do not deserve) to be patronised and judged for what may sometimes be difficult personal decisions.

Samsauce profile image
Samsauceā€¢ in reply to

Thank you!! I agree

So you want to argue semantics. Saying "good-bye to something means it's going away. So after after getting circumcised, someones manhood is somehow less than it was before, according to you. You're just anti-circumcision, and want to discourage guys here who are considering having it done.

I did spend a lot of time reading about the possible risks before I had mine done, and recommend everyone considering one do the same. What you are doing is coming at it with the most extreme cases even possible because of your negative bias against circumcision. I may even go for a revision, so I've put my money on the table. You're just promoting fear and negatively. I had put my circumcision off, because of the disinformation, people like you had been spreading.

Congrats bro.

But why you get cut?

Hi so did you get your circ done? How is everything going?

Not what you're looking for?
