Adult Circumcision - 2 Years Later

It has been 2 years since my circumcision. While I still think I lost at least 1/4th of inch due to how the surgeon stitched me, I am otherwise in good appearance and health. Some claim length is not lost and it's just a visual mistake because we are used to seeing our foreskin, which added a little bit of length, but I have done the measurements myself many times in my life and I am 100% sure my penis would be just a tad bit longer if the surgeon allowed a bit more skin to remain. I use to be able to reach 6.00", or very close to it, on a good day prior to the procedure. These days, if I'm rock hard, I can maybe measure 5.7"ish.

Sex feels the same as it did before my circumcision. I don't feel it is any better or worse, and I do not last any longer or shorter. All of this is entirely a mood thing and I've seen zero correlation to me being circumcised. Women likewise have not noticed any difference one way or another. One of my worries was that sex was going to feel less pleasurable with no foreskin, but that hasn't been the case. Sex feels enjoyable just the same.

The worst part of circumcision was the first 3 months after the operation. Night erections hurt; in fact, anything that touched my penis made it hurt--even the air itself; your pee has 2 or more streams, which is also frightening in the beginning because that was unexpected; there is lumpiness along the stitches and you're wondering if they will smooth out; the penis has some sutured veins that make you look deformed and you're wondering if they will ever look normal again; and you can't comfortably do anything without having your penis wrapped up in a lot of gauze. Adult circumcision is a lot of work. And my surgeon wasn't the most personable or responsive person to deal with either. But thank goodness, life goes on and everything functions as it should.

This is too big mine is only 4.7

Like you I'm coming up to two years since mine and agree with you on the recovery process and size issue.I was swollen to 3times my usual size and began to wonder if it would ever go down and what it would look like when it did. Night erections were a bit of a pain and peeing in two directions at once went on for weeks.

Like you I lost a bit of length and it wasn't my imagination. I used to be 7 ins when fully hard and for ages after was only 5.5. Gradually came back to 6 but think it's to do with how the wound healed. Surgeon had to cut skin lesions from my glans and some of them reattached during healing. Still get what looks like stretch marks sometimes where I was cut. Everything still works though and no longer have pain and split skin during sex so it's all good

Thank you for your report. It really encourages me! I have the decision in front of me.

The length is probably a secondary problem. After all, life is not about having the longest one ;-)

It seems much more important to me that you can experience good sex right away. That is one of my fears.

Not what you're looking for?
