Foreskin, or not foreskin? That, is the question!

Hi all,

Was having a conversation with someone about this the other day.
I was wanting to get a general consensus around peoples preference - do you have a preference if your partner is cut or uncut?

  • Uncut

The not having foreskin is a peculiar American thing. It isn’t a thing in most of the rest of the world.

Not sure I get what you mean re the peculiar American thing @KinkyMira?
Do you mean more of a ā€˜thing’ that Americans tend to have a preference for circumcision?
I have a few friends that are circumcised, for different reasons. One medical, some religion, and one through choice. None of which are Americans :slight_smile:

I’ve only ever met 1 penis that was circumcised and it wasn’t my American ex husband :rofl: but being uncircumcised seems to be more of an anomaly in America.
The first tv show that I’ve watched that mentioned foreskin as an oddity was Sex and the City. It was put across as if it was dirty and it shocked me, because a penis is a penis, with or without the snood.
In spite of this, I might start Sex and the City again.

Edited for spelling :roll_eyes:

I think @JoCat probably put it in better words than I did. That’ll teach me to do a quick post.

@JoCat . The foreskin can give the opportunity for secretions to gather and build bacteria.
However , this is only an issue if personal hygiene is lax.
:joy: I take great pleasure literally, from making sure my penis is well and truely cleaned when in the shower ( 3 times daily).

You think it’s an obvious thing that people would wash their bits properly, but I think the genitals are the most undiscussed area. If you’re in the UK you’ll probably have heard of the Embarrassing Bodies episode where the guy went on tv to talk about the state of his willy, he didn’t know he had to pull his foreskin back and wash it. It seems so obvious, but you don’t know what you don’t know.

And some women think that they pee from their vagina. I hope that human biology and sex education that kids get now is more thorough than when I was in school. I went to an all girls Catholic school run by nuns, my sex education was about periods. I distinctly remember the class being told to lie on the floor in the foetal position to relieve period cramps. That’s all I remember from it :rofl:

I’ve gone off topic, apologies everyone :face_with_hand_over_mouth:

Foreskin yay, no foreskin yay. As long as the penis is happy, isn’t that really all that matters? :wink:

Circumcision should only be done if medically necessary, its a form of genital mutilation otherwise.

Its quite sad that our societal approach to hygiene was to remove sensitive (and biologically important) skin rather than teach people to be clean. The original reason it was started was to make sex uncomfortable and prevent ā€œsinā€.

Fortunately, its not a big thing in my country and education on sexual health is improving.

Sounds like Derry girls.:joy:

I’m circumcised, which was done when I was a baby. It feels normal to me and I have no problem with it. The only thing I’ve wondered about is whether circumcision stunted its growth.

I never knew my skin.
Health thing had caused me to need it removed when young.

People say that they think it looks cleaner or more appealing.

I’m cercumsized as I had scar tissue and it was painful to wash and make love, glad I had it done and love the feeling too​:kissing_heart:

I’ve discussed writing a book on the forum before and I think I may add a section on genital health and hygiene for this reason. I feel someone may read it for the purpose of exploring their own sexualty and learn something they didn’t know, they didn’t know.

This is the OH. I love it when common sense shows. My hubby and his brother are not cut and neither is my nephew. Cutting a penis is a mutilation of a perfect body!

As mentioned occasionally by myself on here, I am on the waiting list for the procedure. I don’t really want it but feel like there’s no other option.

Two years ago following a sting right on the end of my penis while naked outdoors in woodland, my foreskin muscle has closed up and is now unable to retract.

So I will be able to see both sides of the debate, watch this space :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

This is Al’s OH. I know he posted about the dr who made some remarks about his long foreskin. Thank you for supporting AL. I LOVE his foreskin!! I love taking it in my mouth and sucking on it. Yes it’s long, but it’s part of what makes him so sexy to me.

This leaves me in a quandary really as I may soon have one :unamused:

I am on the smaller side of average when erect (5") but when flaccid probably 2" or so and that is with a large amount of loose foreskin. This makes me over a 100% grower and I’ve always been happy with the size. My other half was astonished at how much it grew when we were first together.

I’ve been looking at some discussions on Reddit to gather some information and there are some very helpful people on there. (I avoid the porn type pic groups). However I just don’t like the look of them at all. My o/h says everything will be okay and support me whatever happens.

It’s not just the pain & recovery (up to 6 months) that concerns me as much as the change in appearance and performance. Even the urologist warned me things will be very different afterwards.

Leaving it alone though is not really fair for either of us.

We watch a little porn and realize when it shows guys who are intact, they’re usually european. The circumcision rate in the US is still very high - unfortunately for the babies.

This Al’s OH. When I measured his soft penis it was 4 1/2" to the pee hole. There’s about an inch of foreskin past it. His penis isn’t big in circumference like some. He’s 6" long when he’s hard. You should know your lover loves you the way you are built. When we watch porn I sometimes wish he was as big in circumference as I’ve seen just to feel it stretch me out more. His is the only penis I’ve ever had. I played with a guy when I was much younger who was bigger.

I know I’ve said it before, but there’s nothing prettier than an intact penis. His foreskin droops past his pee hole even when he’s hard. The dr told him he has excessive foreskin. Sure makes anal easier - less friction. It’s also fun to suck it between my lips!
