I am scheduled for my circumcision in less than a week. Nervous but excited. I had always wanted to be circumcised since I was teenager and realized my dick was different than all the other American guys. I'm 30 now and in the last decade I've had painful phimosis once- that resolved fully, Balanitis many times, and my foreskin can be frustrating during sex because it sometimes does not stay retracted behind the head when penetrating my partner and well, when that happens I don't exactly feel much since the head nor the mucosal skin gets stimulated. It also gets irritated sometimes during sex and blowjobs and will stay red for days and sometimes that causes Balanitis in of itself.
I'm not looking for Anti-Circumcision activists to comment and tell me I don't need a circumcision because, I realize it's not medically necessary in my case. Please also don't tell me how much sensitivity I will loose either as I don't think that is true. I have the unique perspective of being a gay man that has slept with/fooled around with other men that are circumcised and uncircumcised, like me, and pleasure felt amazing for each and everyone of them. I am also married for 5 years to a circumcised man and there are no problems in the sensitivity/pleasure department. That argument makes no sense.
Just want to share my story for any other guys that have been wondering about getting circumcised. I am not an advocate for circumcised or uncircumcised, only an advocate for doing what you believe is right for you in your situation.
I'll post some updates in the coming weeks if you want to follow along.
