Hello. I'm sure most of you have seen my posts about my negative experience with circumcision. There seems to be a concensus online that low and tight cuts (with low I mean less than a one centimeter or so) ruin sex for most men as it removes all the sensitivity. I did not know this prior to my surgery, no doctor told me before the surgery.
Most doctors in Europe doesn't seem to be aware of different styles which I find weird. Is there anything we who have gone through circumcision can do to spread our experiences to doctors about this? Maybe it's a stupid question but I'm really distraught by my surgery and I don't want it to happen to other people.

It is unfortunate that you had a negative outcome.
Every doctor/surgeon that I consulted indicated the procedure for an adult circumcision is 'low and tight'. A lot of people say that high and tight is better. That is how they may feel and that is valid.
I went with the doctor's advice with the a low & tight procedure and things are great.
Here is something interesting as far as women are concerned. I showed pics of different circ styles to my close female friends and asked which cut they liked. The preference was near universal for low and tight.
I see. Well I prefer intact. In every way possible. And I don't care what girls prefer, it's my penis. I just wish my doctors actually informed me instead of just doing the surgery.
Yes they trimmed most of the frenulum and honestly, they could have just removed it as it isn't an area that does a lot for me anyways.
Honestly, I think men have trained their response to work on inner skin stimulation, but I've always preferred glans stimulation so the circumcision has not 'taken' anything from me.
I see. They trimmed most of mine. I did have a gspot just below the frenelum. Even though the frenelum wasn't too sensitive for me it now has zero sensation.
I've realized my head was never that sensitive. Most stimulation came from my foreskin. Anatomical differences maybe. But most men with a low cut seem to say the same. Marked decrease in sensation.
You have good point there. If there is medical reason for circumcision as an adult the inner foreskin could be infected and had to removed then. That's not the case always. In European perspective adult cut is rare and some hospitals let a trainee to do it. It's much better if surgeon has done way more than 20 adult circumcision on his/her career.
When got circumcised as an adult, there is always before and now. We have that privilege. Some has not that at all if they got cut as an infant. No one asked his/her consent. When got mutilated as an infant the scar could be prettier or worse than adult cut, but they can not ever know, how it feels like to be intact.
I think there is a greater risk to damage some nerves, when cutting too deep. It doesn't matter is it high or low cut. I hope your sensation will get better when the scar line softens next months.
According to the internet, yes. Low cut removes most of the sensation. It makes sense as you're removing most of the skin. Scientifically, not alot of studies has been done so it's not sure. But it seems like a high cut would preserve more of the nerves, even if that skin ends up rubbing against clothes, making it tougher.
Why would anyone choose a low cut? Even if a high cut causes premature ejaculation, you can always go for round 2. Lasting longer does not mean better. In fact a low cut would increase hiv risk lol. If you last longer, you give yourself more opportunities for the skin to open up and cause hiv transmission.
I was circumsied in Europe. And I didn’t get a low and tight circ. And I didn’t ask the doc about a specific style either. I’m sure if you ask a doc in europe they Will know what you mean when you say “different styles” and I Think they are Award of Them. Where you circumsied for Phimosis?
It’s Quite normal that the surgions do a low and tight Cut. Because 80% of the dudes coming there have phimosis snd the doc’s are trained In low and tight Cut. I’ts the only style that allows phimosis not to happen again after Circ.
Yes, it seems as though if one is having a circ performed for medical reasons, then the protocol is for the doctor to remove all the inner foreskin that is causing the problem. From a medical viewpoint, this gives the best chance for resolving the issues the patient came in for in the first place.
I also have low and tight style and am still enjoying sex. The pleasure isn’t all about the sensitivity, but the level of arousal as well. Has it not ever happened to you that you were so horny you came basically within seconds? And sometimes it could take 20 minutes or long? You should stop longing for something you can’t take back and accept your “new penis” as is now. Give it a few weeks to adapt and sex will be great again, trust me.
You are on point. ;)Like I wrote earlier, you can not simplify health issues to a binary mode 1 or 0. We all are different. If I answer yes, it could be no to you. Are you better educated then? When I see the similar question every day. No one bothers answer it inclusive enough.
There is no learning curve on your questions. It might be cultural thing. I'm not used to that, cause I'm not from UK.
I'm not doctor but from what I've gathered it seems 1 cm at least is the sweet spot. Maybe more. But at least 1 cm because under 1 cm and I think it will be difficult to stimulate the inner foreskin as it sits almost under the head of the penis.
I can't say. But I've asked probably 20 guys and most seem to say the inner foreskin is important so 1-2 cm is probably OK. No one can guarantee anything though but it seems fairly rare that anyone with a high and tight cut complains. I only heard about one guy who went from high to low and he said for him that made a bigger difference than going from uncut to cut.
Also a low cut seems to have a bigger risk of getting extra hair on the shaft as well as the scrotum pulling forwards unless your doctor knows exactly what he's doing.
Infant circumcision should be banned. I get that it's a cultural thing but why would you let a doctor cut your new born baby? Crazy. Just shows how insane people are.
sorry to hear of your negative experience mate.where did you have it done?
I have heard this complaint a lot about loss of sensitivity. All I know is what I experienced which is no loss of anything except a foreskin. When a man has Phimosis and his experience of sex is with this phimotic penis then he does not know what sex really feels like due to his phimosis. So losing the foreskin would probably feel like a loss of sensitivity (or pain). Remember the saying about pleasure and pain. I did not have Phimosis, and my foreskin did not play any part in sexual activity and my glans was always exposed on erection as the foreskin was taken up by the increased penile length. So that is what I felt, just the sensations from my glans, nothing from my foreskin. No loss of sensitivity.
I was born in Malta, and circumcision is uncommon there. As for low cuts or other circumcision types I cannot speak about as my foreskin had no role in sexual pleasure for me, so having 1- 1.5 cm left of the inner foreskin does nothing for me.
