Adult Circumcision
Circumcision is a controversial topic because there is so much misinformation and emotion included as fact. The facts are fairly straightforward. There are some definite biological advantages to circumcision. For example, circumcised men don't develop penile cancer- a rare though deadly (and emotionally difficult) cancer. Circumcised men develop fewer sexually transmitted diseases if promiscuous (the skin is thicker and more resiliant to trauma)
Some men who complain of problems retracting their foreskin are candidates for one of three options. This problem, called phimosis, develops as a result of injury the the circular fibers within the foreskin- usually as a result of a traumatic retraction- often at birth or early in life. This trauma heals with scarring that over time may gradually scar down to total inability to retact the foreskin.
There are 3 main options.
First, is to do nothing. It may not get worse, it may get better or stay the same. Try to avoid forcibly retracting the foreskin as this will make it worse.
The second choice is what is called a "dorsal slit" this opens up the foreskin by simply cutting, under local or general anesthesia, a one or two inch longitudinal cut at the top through the foreskin, across and past the scar. This then allows you to retract the foreskin yet maintains the look and presence.
The third option is formal circumcision. Despite the emotion and hysteria, recent studies have analyzed the sensory input from the glans penis (the end) looking at whether or not circumcised men have more, less or same sensation. The answer is that they feel the exact same thing.
Another way to look at this is by asking men who had adult circumcision about their own personal before and after experience. I know a number of other urologists and surgeons who went though this as an adult. A few liked it before, a few liked it after, most said no difference.

Do you have any studies that show that circumcised men don't develop penile cancer? I've never seen anything remotely suggesting that. The link you provide to info about penile cancer mentions smoking and promiscuity as leading risk factors, not a foreskin.
I was circumcized when I was thirteen due to phimosis, and I remember it well! For a short while, my glans penis was so sensitive rubbing against my underwear that I walked bent over to reduce friction! Since then, though, I like the "look", and I feel that a "tougher" glans penis definitely helps me to last longer during intercourse.
I'm still waiting for proof that circumcised men don't develop penile cancer. Bold statements like that should be backed up easily, no? Unless it's simply "misinformation and emotion included as fact".
Tony,
I have answered your question here
The studies are cited below the text of the post.
Dr. Marks,
I'm answering here rather than the newer post you mention because the specific language stating that "circumcised men don't develop penile cancer" is still here. That's the crux of my argument, as opposed to the idea that circumcision does or doesn't influence the risk of penile cancer.
That said, I looked at the summaries of the articles you linked. Forgive me for only going that far, but I do not have the funds to spend on the full article. Fortunately, I do not think it essential, for the summary provides the necessary information. Specifically, this statement from Etiology of squamous cell carcinoma of the penis. (Dillner J, von Krogh G, Horenblas S, Meijer CJ.)
"In a case-control study, circumcision neonatally, but not after the neonatal period, was associated with a 3-fold decreased risk, albeit 20% of penile cancer patients had been circumcised neonatally."
That's the point I'm harping on. Stating that neonatal circumcision provides reduced risk of penile cancer as a potential health benefit is one thing. To state that circumcised men don't develop penile cancer is entirely different. Based on the three studies you linked, it's also inaccurate.
If someone comes across this post looking for circumcision information, they'll see that statement. You're a doctor. It's not unreasonable to believe that someone might then use that as a justification without seeking out the details of the the studies you linked in another post. As you say, there is plenty of misinformation, but it comes from both sides, not just anti-neonatal circumcision individuals.
Also, this post is about Adult circumcision, not neonatal circumcision. As the statement I quoted above shows, the decreased risk was not for adult circumcision. So I appreciate that you've responded with additional information, but I believe my question remains unanswered.
Tony, it seems to me that you're reading that first paragraph as a statement specific to adult circumcision, but I read it as a general argument for the benefits of circumcision. It doesn't necessarily follow that his statement reads that men circumcised as adults escape penile cancer; in fact, the following post seems to affirm that newborn circumcision is the best preventive to penile cancer.
Tony - Dr Marks has answered your questions, you simply do not agree with his answers. That is definitely your right as an individual.
If you have a different opinion, you might consider posting it on your own blog and linking back to Dr Marks posts instead of sitting here in the comments insisting that the doctor (whose field this is) is not giving you the answer that you wish to hear.
Good luck, happy hunting.
Anonymous 1,
You're right, I read it as a specific statement about adult circumcision. The title of the post gave me that impression because it's "Adult Circumcision". But regardless of whether or not it refers to adult or neonatal, none of the studies imply that circumcised men don't develop penile cancer.
Anonymous 2,
You're right, I disagree with Dr. Marks. But I do not disagree with his assessment that circumcision impacts the incidence of penile cancer. I disagree that this is sufficient to justify neonatal circumcision, but that's my opinion. I haven't said anything to the contrary here.
Where you missed my point, though, confuses me. I asked Dr. Marks if he had any studies that show circumcised men DON'T develop penile cancer. Those were his words, not mine. It's semantics, but the fact remains that the text of his original post is inconsistent with the supporting studies. Unfortunately, it's perfectly consistent with Dr. Marks' statement about misinformation.
As for blogging the issue myself, I've done so for many months. I will probably respond to the follow-up post in that manner, rather address every issue I see with it. Here,
I've attempted to clarify one inaccuracy from this post because it's the appropriate place for it. I have not attacked the entire argument. That's why I asked my original question. Despite addressing the penile cancer studies in the follow-up post, the incorrect statement remains in this post.
I've explained why I think it should be fixed. Specifically "don't develop" is not correct. It should be fixed.
Did you know that cervical cancer is high in women with uncircumcised husbands
FRF
No it isn't.
Check rates of non-mutilating countries against middle eastern (hehe) countries like the USA, South Korea and Israel.
oDear Sir,
I am 35 yrs old and had a circumcision in 1996, there are post operation marks and a stretch in the skin when erected, I feel psychologically depressed, please advice me are there any minor cosmetic surgery to overcome this problem, looking forwards for any early reply.

Tony,
Did you know that penile cancer makes up 30% of all male cancers in South America, India and Asia? None circumcise and it shows on their rates of penile cancer!
I was circumcized at age 23 due to phimosis. Surgery was OK however involuntary nighttime erections were a problem. It was the best decision I ever made my penis is cleaner and better looking. No regrets here

IM 35 YRS OLD AND IM GOING TO BE CIRCICISE NEXT WEEK. I NEED INFO ON THE CARE AFTER THE SURGERY ANYONE.
I am 16 and I have not been circumcised. I am getting to the point where I want to lose my virginity soon, but I'm worried about my performance and the pain I might get. I want to know if there is a doctor that recommends I do get circumcised.
I'm in my mid thirties and I've been fighting this all my life. I've read the articles on this website talking about penis shrinkage, but mine is a little different. I call it "Inner Penie" For some reason my penis seems to pull itself all the way into the groin area when I'm not erect. It was embarring growing up because I didn't "hang" like the rest of the guys when in the locker room. Now I'm just fed up with it feeling so uncomfortable. Some times the tip of my penis will stick out and the opening of my uretha will rub on my underwear and can get painful. Until I decided to trim my pubic hair around my groin, most times when my penis skin would roll up, it would tangle in my pubic hair and that would get uncomfortable as well. What can I do? I don't know what it's called. My wife recalls seeing a show on TV where a guy had this same problem and he had some type of corrective surgery to fix it. I'm done with feeling uncomfortable walking around. I have no problems with getting erect, and the skin doesn't shrink around my penis as described in other posts. I was circumsized as a baby, I'm wondering if they did a bad job. Any way of getting a long over due refund???
What is the average price range to have circumcision performed on an adult male?
Dr. Marks and/or others,
Botched Circumcision????? Please comment on the situation explained above. My 12 year old son also has a penis that retracts into his groin. My husband and I would like to gather all the information we can before approaching him with the idea of seeing a doctor and seeking options. At this point we do not even know if he realizes the difference. We do know that it will soon become an issue with all the sports he plans to take part in. He is a fairly private boy and we do not want to alarm him, yet we do not want to ignore the issue if our openness and willingness to help him are needed. As parents we want to provide him with the best information. We were also wondering if his circumcision (infantile) was done improperly. We did not notice anything unusual when he was a young boy. Perhaps this change has been brought on by puberty.
Signed,
Concerned
As to your problem with "inner penie", I too am having the same problem. Don't have an answer but soon will, am fed up with the problems that have come with it. Going to make an appointment with urologist today!!!! To the mother of the 12 year old, as a previous 12 year old boy myself this is NOT normal. Should be just the opposite if the hormones have kicked in.
Is there anyone who can give me some information about elderly men over 80 who need a circumcision for urine problems? Any risks?
Did anybody have problems after the circumcision? My boyfriend decided to have a partial circumcision last November after being in pain for several months due to his foreskin being to tight. The operation went well, but it took 2 months for the stitches to heal - every other wound he had healed always almost over night - but not this one. Since it has finally healed he is in pain when he gets an erection. He wakes up in the middle of the night from pain when he has an erection during his sleep. He is now afraid of having an erection all together. I am trying to get him to go back to his doctor, but somehow he thinks that it might just take longer to go back to normal. Anybody had the same problem?
I have a few questions. My husband is not circumsized and its causes problems with our sex life. He gets raw at the head of his penis and it hurts. And also he gives me problems. Like yeast infections and so forth. We have talked about him getting circumcized and he agreed to it but where do we go to get this taking care of?
yes i am 16 and i am considering getting circumcised i was wondering what is the average cost of it was? and does most insurances pay for it?
I'm also very curious on the cost and whether or not insurance companies cover post-neonatal circumcisions.
It's me... the guy with "inner penie" again. So... I went to a urologist today and asked him about it. He did mention that there is a condition called "hidden penis", yes I know it sounds funny, but that what he said. However, that is not what I have. I have gained a little weight and he thought that might have something to do with it, but I told him I had this all my life and that thin or not so thin I've always had this condition. I use to always be thin and physically active with outdoor activities, so I'm not buying the weight thing. He basically told me there's nothing that could be done. This upsets me a bit, I went through all this embarasement of going to my GP (which is a women) and describing it to her, then getting refered to a urologist only for him to tell me there's nothing I could do. He said I could do a circumsision, but he doesn't recomend it, but I've been through that already as a baby. I don't understand! I'm really fed up with it being so uncomfortable when I walk, and every couple of months I need to trim my pubic hair to keep it from getting rolled up and pulled in when my penis goes into my groin. As for the parents with the 12 year old I managed to fake it through when I played sports in school. It was akward that I didn't "hang" like the other guys. I had to sneak off some where and partially stimulate myself so that my penis would "hang" and then I would "feel/look" normal. The more I think about this the more frustrated I get. Do the doctors ever respond to these posts or not? Is there a doctor in the house???
anonymous,
Dr. Marks answers questions on his Urology Message Board.
To Anon (and others),
My son has a "hidden penis" too. Although his condition comes and goes. Sometimes his penis is there and sometimes it is not. I feel this condition is really cruel. My son is 10 years old and autistic and had a circ done when he was diagnosed at 2 1/2. There may be some hope though, if you go to the site listed under your comment there may be some docs who can help if you are in the US. We are in Oz, so its a bit too far for us here.
Best of luck.
Also, if you GOOGLE "hidden penis" you may find some useful information, from quite a few doctors and sites.
Inner Peenie guy here... I don't have "hidden penis". I saw the Urologist and that's what he said, "no hidden penis". There's an operation for that, but it removes the tendons that holds the penis in place. Once you cut those it allows the penis to come out, but it will flop around when erect. I tried something the other day basically out of frustration. I tried putting two bandaids on the shaft of my penis to keep it from retracting the head in and it worked greatly. The bandaids were sheer so you couldn't even see them. I tried sheer bandage tape today and no luck. It wasn't stiff enough to keep the head from going inside. I also think you wouldn't want the bandaid to go all the way around the penis just in case you did get arroused and got an erection, probably wouldn't be too comfy. I will try posting my previous comments on that one doc's message board and see what happens, then I'll report back to you all here.
Dr. Mark, i visited my urologist last week beacause i was having ejaculation problems and other urinary problems after he examinated me he asked me i had never consider circumsicion i said no, cuz honestly i dont have any problems with my penis because the extra skin or foreskin i can pull it as bak as i want to without having any pain, so itz practically normal but just dat i have about 1 inch of extra skin.. so i dont really know what to do..
Dr. Mark.
I was circumsized when i was a child, and i never had a problem until the past year. I have gained some weight over the past 4 years, around 40-50 pounds and my penis when normal docile size seems to go into the foreskin area like its hiding. This is driving me crazy, i am constantly adjusting myself because i am not used to the feeling. Almost seems their is way too much skin down their now. Any suggestions? I am going nuts, it is uncomfortable and a little embarrassing adjusting myself all the time.
I'd like to comment on the 9:12PM writer. What you're referring to is a "buried penis". I'm a 27 yr. old woman & saw an episode of Dr. 90210 on this issue. I would suggest www.eonline.com & clicking Dr. 90210. There's a uraologist/plastic surgeon named Dr. Alter. Maybe there's a forum you can get anwers from.
It is I, Inner Penie Guy... I still haven't found a solution. What's weird is that I can associate with the guy that's gained weight, yet I had the same problem when I was younger and only weighed 150lbs. I'm wondering if the "fat pad" that sits on top of the groin and above the penis is creating this. When my penis goes with in itself all I have to do is push on it and it pops out. Everything I've looked up makes me believe I have "hidden or burried" penis. When erect my penis is at 7", but when it's flacid it definetly goes inside itself. My wife saw that Dr. 90210 and she said it was just like what I have. Thanks for the link. I'll check it out. Please note that Dr. Mark doesn't comment on any of these posts. I even posted to his Urology Message Board, but he has yet to respond. I tell yeah, I'm almost wondering if a modified jock strap or something would do the trick? I'm getting desperate.
Dr. Marks,
I am a 26 year old male that has a slight problem. I have a strip of skin that attaches the head of my penis to the shaft. I guess it was leftover from circumcision? It is not painful nor does it hinder any sexual performance. I just do not like it and I think it is time that I attempt to find a way to have it removed. Please assist my efforts and point me in the right direction!
Thanks, Raymond

I live in the uk.
I grew up uncircumcised but a tight foreskin,i would often have erections that would sometimes hurt and at the age of 15 i had sex for the very first time and the pain was enough to put me off sex, the foreskin was so tight, at the age of 27 i met my girlfriend and overtime she begun to think i was gay because i didnt want sex, i explained to her one night and she said get yourself circumcised, her brother was at the age of 9 anyway eventually i did, a few months later making sure i had healed and plenty of time off work i had sex with her and it was fantastic, life is good and sex is better, i am now a father of 3 kids 1 girl and 2 boys both boys are circumcised were at birth at a private clinic, my only regret is/was i wished i had enough courage to tell my mum when i was growing up and i could have gotten it sorted sooner.
I have a question. I'm a black male who's had the surgery. My glans is pink and my skin brown. Will the glans turn a color to match the rest of my penis or do I have to live with light pink glans ?
Hi my nane is Edward and im 18 years old and i want to get circumcized i just wanted to know if anyone knew where to get it done and how much does it cost??
I was circumcised as an infant and i am very angry and bitter. No one had the right to mutilate me. I do not like the way i look. I will never experience full sexual function. i have trouble accepting that my parents love me since they allowed this to be done to me.
Infant circumcision is a sexual assault. It is a violation of the hippocratic oath 'first do no harm' It is morally indefensible and should be outlawed. Note that it is illegal to mutilate a female infant's genitals.
Mass infant circumcision was first promoted in the Victorian era as a cure for masturbation. Ever since, the medical industry has been coming up with one justification after another. Army hygeine, penile cancer, uterine cancer, aids, the list gets longer and more ridiculous. The point is that epidemiogical studies are not a valid basis for performing a procedure on an individual who is too young to give consent. Is the baby in any immediate danger of penile cancer? NO! Therefore, procedure not justified.
I cannot trust anyting on your site since you promote the mutilation of infants.
Hi im 23 and have not been circucised. I want to do it but I dont know where to go. Can you recomend a hospital in houston
I was circumcised as a baby and i had no ill effects.
MRS UNKNOWN MY HUSBAND IS NOT CICUMCIZED AND IT CAN BE AN TURN OFF BECAUSE HE DOES NOT LIKE PULLING BACK THE SKIN DURING SEX ONLY TIME HE PULLS IT BACK IS WHEN HE CLEANS IT SO CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT TO DO
Hello doc and everyone out there. I want to get circumcised, what are the procedures followed after a circumsicion? In addition, my peni's hole is not from the middle of the head, it's at the bottom. And I want to change it to the middle. Do I go for it? Is it dangerous? What will I have to do after I get those 2 surgeries. PLEASE help. I really need your help doc. Or anyone who knows about it thanks. I'm 17 btw.
To the 17-yr-old Anonymous poster who is considering a circumcision and other work, please post your questions on our Urology: Sheldon Marks, MD board. It will help Dr. Marks and others respond to your concerns if you shared why you are considering this.
I was circumcised as a baby and had no problems until I stared hitting puberty. The head of my penis got so sensitive that I started pulling the skin up around the head, which would make the day go by much better at school. I am 30 now and still do this to ease the irritation of hair/clothes. I was just wandering if this was normal, or if it will cause me any problems further down the road?
About the "hidden penis", is the ligament that holds the penis play any part or could play any part in the problem. If so, could the penis lengthening procedure be a posible solution
My husband has this thing that sounds just like what ya'll are talking about. I think it is hidden penis, but I don't know how to bring it up to him. It is a sensitive subject to him. He gets so upset thinking about it that sometimes he doesn't want to have sex. He seems to think that we'll never be able to get pregnant because "his penis is too small" those are his words, not mine. The thing is though, it's not small! When he is erect it's 5-6 inches, which I'm told is very average. It's just that when he is flacid, it goes inside. I always say that it's hiding or sleeping, which makes him feel a little better about it. He is an overweight guy, but when we first met he only weighed 208lbs (not that overweight in my book) and he had the same problem. I am fine with him, his penis and our sex life. But I know that he lacks confidence because he doesn't "hang" either. I'm sure he had lots of issues about it when he was younger, too, because he has an older brother. I'm a little curious as to why his mom and dad never did anything about it. I guess I'd just like a few helpful hints as to bring this up and tell him that it is a real medical condition without him thinking that it's my own desire for him to get it fixed. I would love for him to do it, but only if it would make him more confident and happy with his body. I also saw the Dr. 90210 show about the guy, and I've found pics online of surgeries where the actual 'fat pad' was pretty much removed, as if it had a tummy tuck and a little liposuction. Any help would be great, thanks!
where in the dallas fort worth area is there that someone could go have an adult cicumcision done?
Well se im a 16 year old male and i have been told I have phimosis...well I have been through a treatment that would help me pull my forskin back but I stopped the treatment and now have the choice of getting the procedure done...my questions are one is it painful? Two: will I be bale to go back to school a day or two after and three do you get better performance and pleasure if I do get circumsized?
I'm a single mom of a 12yr old who seems to suffer from "hiddenpenis" I seen an episode of Dr.90210 about this can anyone comment about this procedure? anything would be helpful... Thanx Oregon Mom
It's me again, the guy with "inner peenie". Well... sad to say I've been to busy to deal with this whole thing. I was hoping to log back in here and see if anyone had a solution. I really don't understand how this site works. I posted here and Dr. Mark's blog, or whatever with no resolve or suggestion. Does this site only exist for us to help each other out? I'll except the term hidden penis, but I will not except living with it. I need a real solution. I've seen the photos of the fat pad "tummy tuck" procedure and that is not very attractive. I've been thin and I've been slightly over weight (where I'm now) and I've always had this problem. Is surgery the only answer? Is there a way to lose the fatty tissue in that area of the groin??? I'm telling ya, I was in great shape in college, worked out every day and still had this fat pad, and still had hidden penis. I've been circumsized when I was a baby, if you haven't read my earlier posts. The urologist I saw said it wasn't the fault of the circumsion. He did think it "could" be the fat pad. Does anyone have a real working solution out there???

Thank you.
Attention Inner Penie guy. I too have suffered with this same problem all of my life. Except for your bandaid experiment, your posts describe me to the tee. I'm now 70 and have always been too embarrassed to address the problem until recently. I too am seeking a solution in spite of my age. The continual discomfort has reached the point that my wife constantly complains because I am always having to pull at myself to temporarily releave the discomfort.
reading these comments are like a breath of fresh air. I never knew a)so many peeps had this type of problem "hidden penis" and b)could talk so openly and freely about it. I have put my best foot forward my entire life and managed to hide it from friends and family when ever the time came to change around them locker room/pool/and beach. however the other day while cooking in my boxers and being totally caught up in conversation with my roomate entered the kitchen and immediatly said "dude where is your cock" stirring my scrambled eggs with one hand and holding the pan with the other I could not cover up imediatley and stood there gathering all my courage and trying to keep the conversation going acting as if i did not hear him as if it was no big deal. he did not comment further, but he stood there answering my randome questions. i know have an neverending urge to get his taken care of. i heard the term hidden penis on a radio show & quickly self diagnosed my self with this problem however i use the term fallen penis because i am un-circumsised and it feels as if my penis when mildly excited ends up in scrotum. I am 25 and am DONE hidding it. to any parants out there who have kids with "hidden penis" if the option is there to fix it EXPLORE IT. if you think your kids have not noticed the difference, belive me with the internet the way it is and public schools the way they are now YOUR KIDS KNOW EVERYTHING. talk to them before they are to old and it begins to get awkward.
To anyone who needs info on circumcision. I am a 26 yr old male who was just circumcised a week ago. The surgery was not bad. I woke up to a bit of pain but i was totally out of it due to the anthesia. Once i got home and took some painkillers i was good. You should take off good 4-10 days off from work/school. The first 2 days are the worst as i kept having erections while trying to sleep and believe me they were painful. So i barely slept the first 2 days. If you experience the same problem try sleeping on your side with ur knees curled up and try not to drink anyting atleast 3 hrs before you go to bed. Having a full bladder can also cause erections. By the second day i had to take my wrap off and trust me your penis will look scary but thats normal. Another problem i had was not being able to wear any boxers or briefs because the stitches were constantly being touched. I also had an infection on my 4th day, which are normal but you should get it checked out by the doc ASAP.
Unfortunately, it appears that "Dr. Marks" has been very irresponsible by publishing this trifle to the internet. It is hardly a scholarly effort to deal with the serious and emotional issue of circumcision. The way he digests the "selected" data presented would only confuse any adult who may be facing this decision. In short, Dr. Marks has been thoughtless and possibly sadistic by presenting this topic in such a cavalier manner.

Dr Marks knows more than the American Cancer Society... Cuz they don't see the association between circ and penis cancer.

I too have what is diagnosed as hidden penis. My urologist (sp) said it was not. I was referred to a plastic surgeon and things are looking up. While I cannot afford the procedure yet, and have some weight to lose, He tells me I can have a near normal looking penis. I saw lots of photo's and have much hope. I agree w/ other posts. I was ridiculed and ashamed my whole life. I'm 48 years old, and I hope to have this done by the time I am 50. Wish me luck, and I'll keep you posted.
What about pulling back the foreskin of your penis?
I was cicumcised on Nov. 12th of this year. Seem that everything was going good. till, I got an erection then I saw that my penis got smaller. Since I am Anonymous. I am sorry, if i offend other people. I just to have 6.5 and almsot 7" when i was uncicumcised. Now, I am 5.5 and almost 6" what happen? I saw the doc. did not cut the bottom part of my penis and that really hurst when i get an erection. Please, I need some answeres.
Is it true that uncircumcised men can cause women to get yeast infections?
I am 23 years of age and I am considering a circumcision. I clean it as much as I can. But having a, hyperactive sex drive, I get errected very easily, and am always precumming. I always get a bad smell, due to my foresking and my precum!!! Does anyone have any advice???
Dear Sirs. I'm a 44 yr old male who wasn't circumcised at birth due to a difficult delivery and my parents never took me back to get circumcised. My mom almost told to "always pull the skin and clean your peepee when bathing." At different times of my life I have had periods of irritation(currently ongoing) and discomfort with the part of my penis where the frenulum attaches to the head of my penis. I have read where other men have been been circumcised or had a frenulunectcomy and this has helped with the discomfort. Over the years I guess you would say I have had several episodes where my foreskin or frenulum would get abraded or irritated. My foreskin does not normally cover my glans when flaccid. I was wondering if a consult with a urologist may be in order?
I was cut a year ago at age 46 and it was the best thing I ever done. I was teased about being uncut as a child, had girls refuse to have sex with me becuase of my foreskin, and put up with infections for many years.
The operation and recovery were not difficult, and the result was great. Sex is much bttter too. Anyone who needs more info can contact me @ scottboy_mb@hotmail.com
okay dr. mark, in the page you linked to answer the man's problem with you stating that "cut men don't get cancer", you noted the uncircumcised man's need for "washing away of the cancer-causing irritating substances that normally build up under the foreskin."
These substances are called smegma. They are a combination of sweat, urine and other natural secretions. There may be an unpleasant odor, but sir, I seriously doubt that they will give a man cancer.
I'm deeply disturbed with everything I've read in your little article here. I've done extensive research on circumcision as I am considering it myself, now, as an adult of twenty years.
I've been torn in this decision... and it bothers me that you would criticize others for misinformation when you have misinformed all who have read this page.
You've not brought me any closer to a decision, but only joined in on the unnecessary bashing of something you apparently don't understand.
Are you really a doctor?
Robert
Here is Dr. Marks' biography. This article from the American Cancer Society lists hygiene and smegma as specific risk factors for penile cancer.
I hope that helps to clarify Dr. Marks' post.
This advice from a doc. If you're not circumcised, and have no trouble retracting the skin to wash and have sex, LEAVE WELL ENOUGH ALONE. Men who keep themselves clean do not cause yeast infections.
im not cut...to put it simple...and as long as you are clean,life being as nature provided,shoulnt be a problem,yeast infections are sometimes caused be your mates having one,or it may be from antibiotics,,which are easy to take care of...so if your pole still has the flag...keep it..
My husband of 7 years is NOT circumcised and he nor I have ever had any problems. I enjoy it and would not want him to have surgery.Just like women,if you bathe everyday it should be fine as far as hygeine is concerned.As the rate of Uncicumcision in the U.S. increases we will be able to put a lot of these rumors and worries to rest about cancer,diseases,and infections.
im 16 and am not circumcised and have 2 questions. 1) are uncircumcised men smaller than cirsumsied men? 2) Is sex with a circumcised man more or less satisfying for a woman?
Does having a circumsized or uncircumsized penis have any effect on the outcome of an individuals penis length by the age of 21?
After reading these coments I seem to have this tighting of the foreskin, I dont have a lot of overhang just half way down the head.I have had no problems for 46 years and I could get away with some baby powder under the forskin to get me throught the long day .Now as the day goes on I seem to be bothered by little pulls and tugs as the day goes on. I wonder sometimes my tidy whites are to cause of my dissconfort at times.I do notice at shower time the skin is somewhat hard to pull down as if it wants to stick. At the end of the shower after a goog cleaning the foreskin wants to swellup a little and turn pink. I not into the idea of getting circumcized. Open for Ideas!
I too, have a hidden, or buried penis, and I am constantly bothered by it. I am normal when flaccid my penis drops into my scrotum area. I have done a lot of research and here is what I found out:
1. Cutting the tendon may relieve the symptoms. Some guys, such as myself, have such a short tendon that bending over automatically puts your penis in reverse. I am looking for some way to have it cut and repaired to a normal length. Will keep you updated.
2. The pubic fat pad is a booger to get rid of even with weight loss. This fat pad is responsible for some measure of protection of the area and was put there by God to stay. However, if you get thin, then having your fat pad surgically removed by liposuction will look normal. Removing it with a big belly still in place looks down right odd. Loose the weight, then get lipo. I suggest the South Beach diet as it is easy and you loose a lot of mid-section fat.
3. You may be the evolutionary superior to your "normal" counterparts. Think about it. You are able to perform in bed and procreate normally, but your most important appendage is well protected when not in use. While it is embarrassing, chances are that natural selection will put us on top of the evolutionary chain of events.
I will keep everyone updated. When I reach 170lbs. I am going to have whatever surgery is out there to make me look like all the other apes.
I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF U CAN REFERE ME TO A PLACE IN LOS ANGELES THAT DOES ADULT circumcision FOR MY BOYFRIEND...WE TRIED ONE PLACE AND THEY WANTED $2,000-3,000 I JUST WANTED TO KNO IF U COULD REFERE ME TO A CHEAPER PLACE

Well I have read and now I know each one of us has his or her own issues,well as a community sex worker in Africa I must encourage those of you who are not cut to either cut or just remain healthy.
Another thing is that cut or no cut sex is in the mind and the minute you or your partner takes your appearance as an issue it will indeed affect your sex life ,in my country boys are cut when they are at least 13 years .the reason is because at 13,he will be aware of good grooming and at his adolescence,having said that those who opt not are always encouraged or more still ridiculed,to the extent of being segregated "on the locker room" and stuff like that.
In my country there are other tribes who don't practice circumcision at all and the are ok.What I mean is that their population is more than 16 million and yet they are equally productive and ok.
But the most I would like to share with you is that issues affecting pennis are as a result of behavior and norms.Boys who retract their penises at an early age while peeing are likely to be alright even if they pass circumcision,but those who fear even touching their penis have a risk of the foreskin not retracting and poor erection ability.
Its common fact that our body is controlled by genes and nerves that are directed from the DNA and the brain passes the information.
therefor its imperative to note that general behavioral practices and norms define a course of body organ function so long as the norm is not changed.
by the way anybody who wanna challenge this,should take time and visit African counties which partake circumcision and initiation ceremonies in the open and in broad day light as this is a community thing.You will see the process and even see recuperation period where initiates discus and share secrets and whatever they have experienced.
But all said and done as a community sex worker you get to here confessions that you challenge and give remedies based on research knowledge and experience.
Men have big secrets as some suffer in silence.
But cut or not cut the whole thing lies in your mind no ones else.
lastly those who are afraid that they cannot have sex since they are uncut should always have confidence as having sex using a condom is equally good and safe and being uncut does not arise.
Hi, I am currently uncircumcized and when I retract my foreskin, I see many very small bubbles on my foreskin in one-two areas. Is this normal or do I have a disease?
Has anyone ever had the tip of their foreskin get so dry, it cracks, but as it heals the opening starts to seal shut, making the skin painful to retract during urination, and even more difficult to heal? What did you do?? I'm thinking about circumcision
I thought I was the only one! I am 32 years old. I have always had a small penis, or 'hidden' penis I guess I should say. It would go inside when not erect, and I never had much of a problem with it until I hit my 20's. I got phimosis, and it just would not go away. I was showering 3 times a day to keep it clean, and i still had troubles. After struggling for about 3 years not being able to push the head out due to the phimosis, I had a circumcision. This fixed things for about a year, it healed, and I felt better. Due to being so small, it was still 'hidden', and the phimosis has come back. I am worried, there isn't much more skin to cut, and my doc insists my only hope is to keep it clean. Thing is...I do keep it clean, aside from living in a bathtub, I honestly don't know how I can keep it any cleaner. I just can't get the phimosis to go away.
I'm a 22 year old male and I had a circumcision about 13 months ago and I have a very raised scar along the top incision that is causing a lot of pain during sex, and its even painful to masturbate. Its fully healed and looks like it's swollen and blistered and the urolgist says its fine. CAN THIS BECORRECTED WITH LASER SURGURY?
I was circumcised at 23 for personal reasons. I had no problems. I am now 33. I love every minute of being circumcised. I love the look, feel and how it makes me feel as a man. Sex is great too! I didn't notice any loss of sensitivity. I don't miss the smelly foreskin at all. I had a very short foreskin too. Now that I recently had a baby boy of my own, I requested that the doctor give him a circumcision similar to mine. I had mine done a certain way. I have a somewhat loose circ, where it never rolls over the head, yet when I am erect I can grab the shaft skin and slide it back and forth and enjoy that movement. My son is now 6 months old. His circ now just rolls over half of his head. When he is older, and doesn't have the fat pad there and his penis grows during puberty, it should keep the skin just behind the head and when he is erect, he will have plenty of shaft skin movement to have fun with (both alone and with a partner). I think he will like it. It's almost the best of both worlds in my opinion.
I do have some advice. If you are an adult and want to get circed, go to someone who specialized in adult circs. Don't just go to any uroligist. While, they can usually perform it, it may not be cosmetically a good circ. This is cosmetic surgery and the small amount it cost to get circed outside of your insurance is totally worth living with a beautiful result.
Kevin
i had circ done recently iam 27 , i have a very dry head , understandably because there is no foreskin, but my rest of the foreskin which is left cannot slide accross the head the bottom part is tight to the frenlum .. i guess, its been 2 months .my stiches have dissolved but i need to see the doc for the post -op review.... i have no problems matrubating , havent indulged in sex since then , but feel good over all but have reletively adry head , i hope my doctor tells me everything is fine....over all i feel good ....
wat is the cost of getting circumcized
I am a 78 year old male, never been circumcised and have never had any problem with it. I still get erections, and have no problem with sex. Never had any problem as far as any cancer scare either. I smoked for 57 years until I quit, never slept around either. I debated several times about been circumcised to see if it would toughen the head of the penis to give me a more lasting sexual experience. Was informed by Doctors that it would not.
Whew, I can't believe I'm writing about this! Circumcision is such a personal subject, and writing about it is admittedly awkward. Nonetheless, I am a staunch advocate of circumcision, and how I became that way is a story worth telling, regardless of personal embarrassment.
Unlike most boys born in the 1950s, my parents chose -- for whatever reason -- not to have me routinely circumcised at birth. It bears note that my foreskin never caused me any physical problems, but it was certainly the source of some very real emotional ones. Being an uncut kid in a circumcised world made me the subject of some very cruel locker room teasing when I entered school. More to the point, I found my foreskin a source of embarrassment once I became sexually active. Most of my partners had never seen an intact penis before, and although they never really commented on it, I know that extra hood of skin made them uneasy.
On more than one occasion I casually inquired about the possibility of having my bothersome foreskin snipped away, but every physician I consulted declined to perform an elective circumcision, declaring the procedure medically unnecessary and, thus, not covered by health insurance. Eventually, I became resigned to the fact that my penis was just physically different, and that's the way it was always going to be.
It wasn't until I was 52 years old that I really made a concerted effort to find a urologist willing to perform an elective circ. My wife and I were going through a rough patch during which she became largely disinterested in sexual intimacy. After some frank discussions, she confided that my uncut state was a part of the problem. Aesthetics aside, she complained that I tended to orgasm too quickly, leaving her sexually frustrated and unfulfilled. She openly wondered -- as did I -- if my being circumcised might result in better "staying power." I read extensively on the subject, and, to my amazement, found that some men circ'ed as adults do, in fact, report significantly improved ejaculatory control.
After a bit of shopping, we found a sympathetic urologist who agreed to perform the surgery, even if it wasn't medically indicated. Now, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't attached to my foreskin, and a bit apprehensive at the prospect of parting with it once and for all. I was very mindful of the fact that circumcision is irreversible, and that sex might not be as pleasurable afterward. My fears were fueled by accounts of men circ'ed in later life who complained bitterly of lost sensitivity and even erectile dysfunction. Nonetheless, I resolved to have the operation in hopes that the benefits would outweigh the risks.
The surgery was done in the doctor's office under a local anaesthetic. Even from the standpoint of a wuss, the procedure was a piece of cake. Aside from the sting of numbing injections around the base of my penis, there was no discomfort to speak of. The doc had me circ'ed sutured and merrily on my way in about an hour and a half. He circ'ed me fairly tight, leaving about an inch of pink mucosal tissue below the head of my penis. I was a bit swollen and bruised for several days, but the doctor assured that the healing process would be quick and that I could expect an aesthetically pleasing outcome.
Indeed, I healed completely in about four weeks, and everything turned out exactly as I'd hoped. Seven months post-op sex is more enjoyable than ever. With no foreskin to get in the way, my glans now experiences friction with the vaginal wall going both directions, both in and out -- something I'd never felt before. More importantly, I have significantly better staying power. Depending on the positions we use and how long it's been since we last had intercourse, I can generally prolong orgasm until I want to orgasm. Similarly, my wife finds my circumcised penis much more aesthetically pleasing, is open to a wider variety of sexual activities, and climaxes more regularly during intercourse.
The downsides? Well, in the process of removing my foreskin, the surgeon truncated my frenulum, the exquisitely sensitive bit of tissue on the underside of my penis. I sometimes lament the diminished sensation it provided, especially during oral sex. Also, because I was circumcised quite tightly, masturbation now requires the use of a lubricant . . but those things represent a small sacrifice for overall gains in appearance and sexual satisfaction.

dr. marks, im,27 and i have probles with my male organ. the problem is that my item has dry skin all the time. when i get and eraction my skin wont go back it has little rip marks . please give me advice
umm how long does it take to recover from a circumcision
Recovery from my circumcision was remarkably quick.
My doctor said it'd take about a month and that I should refrain from sexual activity for about six weeks. But the stitches dissolved in the third week and I was ready to rock 'n' roll again by the fourth.
My husband would never write on here nor would he ask the doctor because he is to stubborn but I have a few questions that I would like someone to answer for me. Is it normal to have re-occuring rashes under the fore-skin on the head of the penis? This is not a STD or anything of that sort it is indeed a rash it can be treated with hydrocortisone cream but can be painful to him sometimes. Is this something that is normal. I would also like to know if Adult Circumcision is possible if you don't have phimosis. My husband is very worried about his foreskin causing problems when he gets older and would like to have it done but dosen't want it to causes more problems then it is worth. Do you think it is a good idea to just have it done for cosmetic reasons?
Q: Is it normal to have re-occuring rashes under the fore-skin on the head of the penis?
A: Yes! If the penis owner is not festidious about retracting the foreskin when he bathes, he can develop a condition known as balanitis, an itchy and sometimes painful inflamation of the foreskin. It can easily be treated with ointments, or good old soap and water.
Q: I would also like to know if Adult Circumcision is possible if you don't have phimosis.
A: Yes, absolutely. I had a perfectly health foreskin when I opted to undergo circumcision last December.
It can be a bit tricky finding a urologist willing to do an elective circumcision when there are no specific medical indications. I had mine done to improve cosmetic appearance and in the hope it would retard ejactlation during intercourse. it worked on both counts!
Q: Do you think it is a good idea to just have it done for cosmetic reasons?
A: As I noted above, it was the best money I ever spent. My wife finds my penis more aesthetically pleasing with my floppy foresking removed and the glans bared.
I think I can safely say the operation was a piece of cake. It wasn't anywhere near as painful as I'd expected, and healing was complete in about four weeks!
It has improved the quality and frequency of our sexual relations, and makes me feel less self conscious when showering in the mens' locker room.
One bit of advice; shop around! Many urologists will want to perorm your husband's circ at considerable expense in the hospital procedure. However, there's ABSOLUTELY NO REASON it can't be done right in the urologist's office under local anaesthetic.
My freehand circ was done right in the doctor's office. It took less than one hour. I felt NO pain, and was able to drive myself home immediately after. The whole thing cost me $253.00!
Have your husband email me at this address; hb6719@aol.com is he wants additional information.

Kiernan,
Thank you so much for answering my questions you were so helpful. It is such a relief to know that the rashes are something that is common.You said that your circ was very easy and was done right in the doctors office which is interesting to know. When you say it took you four weeks to recover what were some of the problems if any that you went through in those four weeks? Were you able to work and do your normal activities minus intercourse? Thank you so much for all your help. My husband will be happy to hear that the rashes are a normal thing and about all the information you had to offer. THANK YOU!
Q: When you say it took you four weeks to recover what were some of the problems if any that you went through in those four weeks? Were you able to work and do your normal activities minus intercourse?
A: Healing was surprisingly quick, problem free, and really didn't hamper my usual activities in any way.
In fact, I had my surgery December 28th and felt well enough to go out of town over the New Year's holiday.
The only limitations were that I had to refrain from heavy lifting for a few days, and avoid getting an erection until the self-absorbing sutures dissolved. The latter was easier said than done. ;-)
The only 'problem' I encountered, was the development of a hemotoma -- a small swelling caused by the accumulation of blood and fluids --on the underside of my penis. The doctor said it would go away in a few days if i kept ice on it, and it did.

Hi There I am a 44 year old Man That had to circumcized less than a week ago. there was no pain at all. just a little discomfort from rubbing against my underwear.It also seemed like i was getting an erection every hour or two and some times my penis hurt. after i get over the procedure I will check back with this sites to inform you about my expereance.
I am 27 now and was 20 when I decided to get circumcised. I did it because I wanted to look like others. Living in the united states many men are done at birth. The only reason I wanted it done was because some women believe that you are suppose to have it done and would look at as you are abnormal. I have never had a women say somthing about it before I had it done. Just descussions about it. Anyways I wanted to know the cost also. All I did was tell my dr that it hurt to get an erection so he took a look at it and saw no problems with retraction of the foreskin so he sent me to a specialist. That dr said the same thing but as long as you say there is discomfort they will do the procedure and your insurance will cover it. With that said I had it done and have no regrets it took awile to heal I can't remember how long exactly but after it was done sex felt around the same just some desenseitization but no complants hope my exper. Helps anyone who is considering to have it done with any concerns.
I have read all of the comments and I just don't understand any of this. I am 37 yrs old and was never circumcized. I've NEVER had ANY of the problems mentioned. When in the locker room in high school I was never embarrassed because I "hung" more than the rest. How does being uncircumcized make you not hang? I've always kept it very clean too. I've never had ANY problems and I don't think one should do it unless it's a problem.
Hi everyone as I see many people are interested in adult circumcision who to go too and prices. There are 2 types of doctors to go too. You can go either to a Urologist or just a general surgeon. My advice is go to a general surgeon. Make sure he has some experience, if they don't have any experience don't let them test there abilities on you. Prices vary by DR. If you can't afford such an expensive price try to bargain with the dr himself. Good luck!
well im 17 almost 18, and im not circumsized
is it really better to have it done?
haveing an erection doesnt bother me but i am slightly worried about sex it doesnt bother me much i guess i feel like, my ancestors didnt have this done so i guess they didnt have a problem with it
so why should i the whole "it makes your penis bigger thing" i dont really care about that i dont need a huge penis to feel good about myself, i just clean with water cuz im worried soap will irritate it and, should i get circumsized or does it matter if i am?
i have my forskin still for those who say it hurts or the skin will not stretch enough when errected use it more that will stop and the sensation of sex with a forskin is double the pleasure
Indeed, sex with an intact foresking is exquisitely pleasurable. Personally, I found it a bit too pleasurable. Before getting circumcised nearly a year ago, I tended to orgasm much sooner than either I or my partner wanted. It left her frustrated and me feeling like a selfish and terribly inadequate lover.
Since my being circ'ed kast decenber, my "staying power" seems to have increased to or threefold. Now I can generally hold off ejaculation until I want to.
Sure, sex feels a little different, but it's important to note that there's been no real loss in pleasure. With no foreskin to get in the way, my glans is effectively in contact with the vaginal wall both on the instroke and the outstroke.
I couldn't be more pleased!
I`m 44 years old and the thing with my foreskin is it`s painful to pull back it also gets painful when I have sex and I lose my erection. Can anyone tell me if the only way to fix it will be to get a circumcision ?
im uncircumcised and was very interested in getting the procedure done because of discomfort after sex. how much is the cost of getting circumcised.
My husband has phimosis and we are trying to get pregnant. I was just wondering could this be a reason we are not pregnant yet?
i had my circumcision done in july of this year and i am happy with the operation . the procedure itself did not hurt that much but the healing process was a bit painfull i had to take pain medication every 4 hrs. and apply medication around the incision to fight any infection that might occur.i paid 275 dollars for the procedure which was done the dr.office.i am 52yrs old and suffered no side effects from the operation.i would recommed the procedure to anyone who really needs it.
Avis
Had circumcised procedure done about 10 years ago. I sitll had orgasm but I can't shoot my load. Had something went wrong with the surgery?
Hello,
Im a 23 yr old male, who suffers from phimosis and very interested in getting circ'd. But when I pull my foreskin back it exposes the head and it is very sensitive/painful to touch and was wondering if I have the circumcision done, will the head of my penis still be as sensitive and uncomfortable? I'm also curious as to if the penis does get larger, than pre-op?
Dr Marks,
Hi. I'm very pleased if you could help me with my unanswered questions. It seems like someone has asked some similar questions before. I've been circumcised ever since I was 10/11 years old. I'm Asian, 5'7 and now 26. As I've started being more sexually-active after puberty, I realize that my penis size seems not to be able to fully erect to its maximum length because of my circumcision. It seems like the newly formed skin done from the stitching is holding back the penis from erecting further. During its normal not erected state, it could shrink so much to around 2,5 inches. But when it gets erected, it could grow up to a maximum of 4,5 inches. After doing my research, I found out that the normal maximum erected length of male penis is around 5-6 inches. So I'm somewhat still behind by 1/2 inch.
My questions are:
1. Is my shrinkage size normal?
I've seen other guys with bigger and longer non erected penis in the gym toilet, and it causes me to feel paranoid. Can it also be affected by the kind of underwear that I wear?
2. Is my erected size normal, or can I do something to further enlarge or extend it to its maximum full bloom size and length?
Thank you very much before hand
If you have a comment about this blog post, you are in the right place. However, if you have a question for Dr. Marks, please visit the Mens Health message board.
Was reading thru alot of the posts here, and alot of topics on hidden penis were brought up. I googled some of this and it sounds like this may not be the case for some of you listed here. Google micropenis. it effects 1 out of 200 men.
where would i go to possibly have this done?
I am a young adult contemplating on getting this done. My main fear is penile cancer (excuse me if I do not want to get my dick chopped off AND get cancer) Is this a good idea? Also the other thing is that I just do not like the way the foreskin looks. I find it to be rather nasty.
I feel bad for those of you who had anatomical probs with your foreskin---but to those who are considering getting circ'd for psychological or cultural reasons, please hear me out:
When I was in high school, I was very self-conscious while showering, etc and in "health" class where the pack mentality reviled the foreskin. I seriously considered getting surgery for these reasons even though I was blessed with a normal penis, unusually easily movable foreskin that never covers the head, not even when swimming in cold water.
I've always been very potent and had a quick recovery time even though I often struggled not to come too soon.
Over the years I became a better and better lover, learning to control my ejaculation, and learning to pace myself, squeeze internally to suppress a full orgasm while being able to continue intercourse without losing my erection---essentially "coming twice" without stopping.
I know it sounds like bragging, and I admit that I am now 40, but becoming "in tune" with my body has paid great dividends for my and my partners' satisfaction. I feel very confident because my gf's have convinced me that I'm an awesome lover.
Maybe because I have a shorter than average foreskin, I have never had a complaint, although one gf said it was "cute" and looked like a "pig in a blanket" when soft. Many have not noticed anything noticably different when erect.
My current gf loves to go down on me and has told me she prefers everything about my "natural" cock, especially the way it moves inside her and her newfound ability to orgasm from intercourse with me. She says she was ignorant about it all when her sons were born, and she regrets having them circ'd.
By the way... I'm a bit of a cleanliness and grooming freak--- I keep myself exceptionally groomed in all ways, but the natural scent of a woman has never deterred me from doing anything---my point being that all this tale of "cheese" and smegma is b.s. Smegma is sloughed-off skin cells in moist areas. The interfolded lips of a vagina produce way more odor than my penis ever will, on top of that, women are generally clueless about their bodies and piddle all over themselves adding to the mix, something a penis is not prone to do even with a long foreskin.
The moral of the story:
Guys, if you are a quick squirter, be patient, work hard at your lovemaking and become in better tune with your responses. This is no reason to cut half your cock off. Also, the psyche-out you suffer in adolescence from your cut friends will soon be forgotten once you have some hot, meaningful mature sex experiences and you'll be way ahead of them with something they can never get back.
If someone were to offer me two million tax-free dollars worth of gold bullion guaranteed to earn me 10% interest for life in a Swiss bank vault in exchange for waving a magic wand and giving me a perfectly executed, pain-free magical circumcision--- I honestly don't know if I could choose the loss of pleasure.
(by the way---I'm broke!)
I hope that helps you healthy young guys contemplating circumcision.
Still,
same young adult here from last night.
Thank you for your "tips" and life story. But what I am solely looking for here is a yes or no answer. Should I or should I not?
NOOO ! ! !
OF COURSE NOT ! ! !
YOU WON'T GET CANCER ! ! !
WHERE DID YOU GET THAT IDEA FROM ?
YOUR BUTCHER ?
ok.
i never been circumsized.
today i pulled my foreskin back and it seems to be stuck.
i tried to pull it back but it hurts alot.
i dont know what to do,also it hurts when it comes contact with my boxers. should i go to the hospital???
I am not circumcised. I love it. I wouldn't change a thing. God created every man in his image, and then we go and tell Him..."Nice try, but we know better." ?????? Come on. I was born in Europe where the majority of the boys are not cut, unlike here were Dr. Kellogg (sp?) decided to promote the idea that if you are not circumcised, you will masturbate! ahhhh, oh no, masturbate...Duh.
I also think it is odd that society is ok with slicing off skin on a new born baby! If someone said you need to cut any other part of a baby, simply because, we as a whole would think they were crazy.
Its about the money. A doctor makes about $150-$300 per 'cut' and at say 5-7 per week...well, you've got yourself a nice vacation trip.
I have brought many of my ex's to the best orgasims of their lives, some of them who had never had a big 'O' before. Each one of them, as I do, believes it was because of the feeling my penis gave them. I am not HUGE, above average, but not HUGE, so it's not like that was a factor.
Young males, 14-20yrs old, don't go and cut yourself because "I don't fit in with the other boys." Are you going to follow forever or are you going to live YOUR OWN LIFE. Are you going to dress like all of them, wear your hair like all of them...no, no you won't because that would be pretty silly, right. So unless you have phimosis (really tight foreskin) don't do it. And yes, it will 'tear' a bit once in a while. I used cortizone cream or neosporin when that happened. Doesn't happen any more.
I LOVE MY UNCIRCUMCISED MEMBER. I LOVE HOW GOD CREATED ME...AS THE BIBLE SAYS, "IN HIS IMAGE."
I'm now 63 married since age 26
I am not circumcized.I still have
sex 4-7 times per week,I roll back
the skin and roll on a new Trojan
to help me last longer.
I am curious...
How do circumcised guys feel about missing so much sensitive skin from the area that gives them the most pleasure?
Do they simply not think about it because "you can't miss what you never had" or are they curious what it must feel like?
Do they feel cheated or robbed of something that should have been left alone? Are they ever resentful of their parents decision?
How do I feel about losing so much erogenous tissue? Well, I was circumcised exactly one year ago today. Frankly, I couldn't be happier. Yes, sex feels different -- not better or worse, mind you -- just different.
I have, indeed, lost some sensitivity in the glans, and frenulum. But, all-in-all, that's decidedly a good thing, as my "staying power" seems to be much increased.
from the area that gives them the most pleasure?
my husband is 46 and uncircumcised, he says the the hole at the end of his penis is smaller than before. He is concerned he might need something done. what can you tell us??
im 19 and im uncircumcised and on the under side of my penis is what looks kind of like a cain but not and it connects from the bottom of the head about 2 cm down the shaft. its not a problem when im not erect but when the skin is pulled back quickly or tightly while erect it is very painful, it makes sex tricky becasue during the skin usually gets pulled back, i often have to stop and pull the skin back over the head becasue of the pain, it is a huge inconvience and i dont know if its normal, im pretty sure its not, anyone else have this problem??????
i meant to say vain not cain on my previous comment
dr. mark im 16 and i was doing what i usually do on my computer... and the vain on my head that goes down about 2 cm broke and my penis started bleeding... Will this heal what should i do... do i need to see a doctor please get back to me as quick as possible
I would caution any adult male if they are deciding to have a circumcision. I had to get mine done at age 43 because that was foreskin irritation.
I am also a bleeder, or hemophilliac. The circumcision went well but the intern who was working with the surgeon advised me to remove my dressing the next day after surgery and to take a shower.
I removed the dressing, took a shower gently. But the weight of the penis dangling caused the stiches to break and caused profuse bleeding.
I was sent to emergency where my penis bloated up to look like a puffer fish, and I am kidding you not. I was pissed off at the intern but he denied that he asked me to remove the dressing the day after surgery.
Now it is healed but at one point the surgeon had to squeeze some blood clots out of the skin of the penis after the bleeding stopped and thus there is some unequalness where the skin attaches to the penis shaft.
Also it takes longer to get an erection when masturbating. I had to change my techniques.
I would only recommend circumcision if it is recommended and really necessary otherwise don't bother.
Dr. Marks, I am 19 years old, and have Phimosis. I never knew that an uncircumcised boy was supposed to be able to pull back their foreskin. I am unable to do this at all. I am wondering whether or not 2 get a circumcision or not. Any advice will help. Thank you.

My husband had phimosis but got circumcised on 5th March (two weeks ago today). We have been trying to conceive (i.e. get pregnant) for a few months with no success and we thought that him getting circumcised might help our chances... (as it was we were able to have sex but only with a condom - with the top chopped off it, obviously)... and ejaculation would dribble out of him instead of 'shoot' out like it is supposed to. Anybody got any idea whether circumcision might help our chances of getting pregnant? Also, anyone know how long it will be until we can have sex again?!
hi i am in mid 20s and considered a circ. i have been for a while since i first was teased in the locker rooms at a young age. i keep healthy and clean, suffer no pain of any sort, no dryness of any sort, and the ladies say i am a good lover.
so my sole issue is asthetic. i still feel really uncomforatble in loocker rooms often pulling my skin back a bit before i remove my boxers. (so hiding it)
like 2-3 times in my life i have been unable to get a boner when attempting to have sex. i always thought it was because i was so drunk at these one night stand hook ups. i always told myself it was just "whisky dick" but now i think that although i am confident in my sexual prowess and my body (i do work out often) maybe there is a part in the back of my subconscious that makes me so nervous about a new woman thinking its weird that maybe i get stage fright? altho i have ZERO problems with my penis i am thinking if its worth it just for the aesthetic and to relax myself with a new partner.
no partner has every complained about the look or the sex but after sex a couple have grabbed my flacid penis while cuddling and sort of played with my foreskin. it kind of embarresses me and i often feel awkward. even tho none have said anything...it almost makes it worse...in my head i make believe they must be thinking the weirdest ting.
if a circ. eradicated that subconcsiou embarrassment and i never had "whisky dick" again i think it might be worht it. another thing i considered that might have caused it besiades how wasted i was and the subconscious embarressment was that in every case they did not perform oral sex on me. maybe im just used to my previous partners (the ones i had great sexual relations with) giving me oral sex?
shit i have no idea what it might be. i really wnat to do it but all these "issues" and stories i have heard about after the circum and making me hestitant. any tips?
finally i was wondering i i do get circum will there be scarring and discoloration?> like will a part of my penis be darker than the rest? cause then i have to explain that i got circum in my 20s and that sounds like it su cks too
im open to ideas!
ps: also the sound of a 3 week and over recovery period sounds so terrifying...no matter how painless the actual operation is.
finally....one girl i had alot of unprotected sex with didnt exactly get frequent yeast infections...but in a 3 month span of having daily raw sex with me she might have gotten it like 2-3 times. is that me? even tho i wash daily and personally suffer no hygiene problems from my foreskin>
give me some hel or advice!
I've been circumcised 8 days ago and have some concerns. Swelling is still there with the inner foreskin like a big ring around the shaft. However, I have 2 concerns. The frenulum area is bleeding and discharging an odorless yellowish fluid. Is this an infection? Since the first day of the operation, I was prescribed Cephalexin antibiotic. After 8 days it's still discharging quite a bit of thick yellowish fluid. My other question is that on my 2nd day after the operation, I noticed a tiny blister on the head of my penis. This is when I still had my compression bandage on with my head about to explode. I don't have the compression bandage on now and the blister is gone but the entire head is covered with hard, dead skin about to peel off. On day 3 I washed the penis with hydrogen peroxide and the blister area was bubbling like crazy. Where the blister used to be looks like a scab now. I was worried if I might have somehow came in contact with genital Herpes since it has the same symptoms. I'm still a virgin so contacting through a partner is out of the question. However the doctor who was performing my cimcumcision didn't wear a mask and I remembered be coughed a few times. Is it something I should worry about? I heard the glands does get dry over time. Please help.
Can being uncircumcised cause infections like yeast and BV in my sexual partner?
I am a 33 year old male who is about to get circumcisized soon. After reading the comments posted up by others, I have several questions:
1. How bad is the pain after the procedure?
2. What kind of pain management options do you have?
3. What type of clothing must be worn to avoid chaffing after the procedure?

im 17 and im not circumcised ive noticed that sometimes a few hours after sex my penis will feel kind of raw and i also believe that not being circumcised affects my stamina and ability to last longer.. i weigh 240 so when it comes to size i think losing a little weight will make it look longer not hard..Ive always wanted to be circumcised can anyone give me advice or info?
This is to answer everyone's comments about getting circumcised when not an infant.
I'm 16 and never could masturbate due to phimosis and after a girlfriend of mine gave me oral sex and I couldn't climax or ejaculate I decided to talk to my doctor about it. He reffered me to a urologist and first gave me a presciption for a steroidal cream to put on my foreskin to try and loosen it up. He said it had a 1/10 chance of working and it didn't work for me. So just yesterday I was circumcised (and yes insurance covers it, but without insurance I think it costs about $2,000), they put me to sleep for the surgery, and when I woke up I felt no pain.
However when I had to remove the bandage on the head of my penis it began to hurt. Since then I've been in the bathroom with the laptop, because I can't have anything touch the head of my penis without what feels like an electrical shock of pain go through my body. This extreme sensitivity is supposed to go away in 2 weeks, but likely less. I was also prescribed a good deal of vicodin to handle the pain which I don't seem to be reacting too.
Despite all this hastle and pain I do definitely feel that the circumcision is worth getting if you have phimosis.
I grew up with a foreskin and suffered from a little phimosis. Not only that, but i was extremely embarrassed of my foreskin and thought it would scare women off. Most of the guys i would watch in the porno movies were cut and i felt awkward about myself. I decided to get cut at age 18. It was definitely the worst decision i ever made. I lost so much sensitivity that sometimes even getting an erection is hard and embarrassing. Not only that but sex does not feel as good as it did and even the strengths of my erections are not as good. I would recommend that getting cut for cosmetic purpose is crazy. Unless you absolutely need it, don't do it!!!
hey i am 21 years of age and i live in Arizona and would like to get circumcised but i would like to know how mucj it will cost to get the procedure done?
I'm 28 years old and was just circumcised on April 28th. I had it done because I had moderate pain about 50% of the time after sex and severe pain during sex a few times. Most of the time the pain was bearable but it sometimes made sex not a lot of fun. I also had issues with infections passing between my gf and I. Anyone who is uncircumcised knows how clean you have to be. Also growing up I was very self conscious that I was different and it made me very slow to enter the dating world for fear of being laughed at.If it wasn't for the pain I never would have done it.
The surgery wasn't really painful at all, I was expecting severe pain and minor swelling but what I got was severe swelling and minor pain. The worst part of it was morning erections which would stretch the skin and be very annoying. It took about 3 days for the swelling to reduce. Anyone looking to have this surgery done should take a minimum of a week off from work because of the sensitivity to the cut region and the stitches.
Today is my 8th day after the surgery and the swelling has reduced and any pain I had is almost all gone. All I'm dealing with is the stitches rubbing and catching on my underwear. If you have to walk around i recommend wrapping yourself in gauze.
As far as how i feel about it I think it looks good and I'm very happy with the result. If your looking into this I would find a good surgeon and make sure they have done adults before.
My insurance did cover the circumcision with my copay of $75. If you would like to have it done I would go to your primary physician and have them recommend a urologist they trust. Most surgeons don't like to do it for esthetics but will if you push them for it.
I had minor pain after the surgery but my head wasn't that sensitive to begin with. I think it will vary depending on how often you pull the skin back and how often you have had sex reducing the sensitivity.
Getting infections is very common for uncircumcised people because of the bacteria that gets caught under the skin. You will pass the infection back and forth to your gf unless you both get treated. Pulling the skin back and getting clean is very important but can be painful too, varying from person to person.
I hope I answered some peoples questions but if you would like to ask me anything you can email me at scrizzles80@aol.com
Im 18 years old and considering circumcision, its something ive been thinking about for a while. i was wandering i anyone who has befor could recommend on how to go about this, lie who would be the best person to talk t about it and get information on it.
hi, i got circumsised just under a week ago. its not that sensitive any more. but every now and then i get a little 'nick' sensitive feeling.
my adive to others is a salt bath everyday, after the first few days let bandage come off naturally in the bath. then change you bandage daily after you salt bath. apply vasiline or paraffin (parafiin giving by hospital) before you put the badage on.
i have a question however, its kinda hard to explain. like when u look down at your penis, the south side of you bellend, is rele swollen and dark. i think its the thing that pumps urine....but i hvnt seen my case on any pictures on the internet. anyone know what mite be wrong? or im i worrying over nothing? lol
anyone who is considering this as an adult, I think you are crazy. I was circumcised as an infant and I wish everyday they would have left me alone. The proof that circumcised men get less std's and less cancer is truly crap. I'm circumcised and I've had every std in the book so clearly it didn't work for me. Those studies are just fear marketing talking parents into doing it to their unwilling boys. You also loose 20,000 nerve endings...that's got to mean you feel less.
I just got mine done today, and I'm 30! I have,HAD, phimosis and therefore decided to get it done. DON'T do it! It freaken hurts! It's only been 14 hours since the procedure, but damn! If I woulda known, I wouldn't have done it. Just my two cents. Peeing is the worst part. At least for me because the head is still swollen. I'm sure I'll like it later, but these are my thoughts on the day of my surgery. I'm typing this blog with a freaken ice pack on my crotch! Good luck and I hope this helps someone. Oh yeah, as far as price goes, my insurance is covering 90% of the costs. My urologist charged 400(So. Cal.) for the procedure, but it's the hospital, anastesiologist, and pre-op fees that are gonna be a lot.
Ok day two is here and time to take off the bandages. I woke up 5 times in pain last night because of erections that freaken hurt. The last part of the bandaging hurt most and I had to get into the shower to take that one off. If you're thinking about getting one done, think about it seriously. If you don't have phimosis like I did, you'd better have a high pain tolerance and a lot of patience.
Me again from above. It's now been a full week and I'm walking somewhat normal now. Still hurts. On day three, gauze stuck to penis when I tried to change it. I soaked in a bath but nothing came of it. I ended up getting bactine and Q-tip and had to slowly and GENTLY ease the gauze off that way. Up to now, it's been a pain in the butt with all that's involved. From the pains in the morning, to having to pee with a swollen head everytime, to walking like a cowboy, to the chaffing, to not being able to get in and out of cars...I still wouldn't do it again! Like I said in earlier posts, if you don't have a medical condition like I did, don't do it. I would have rather done without this past week and lived with the phimosis. The areas around the stitches still hurts, especially the underside. Good luck guys.
hey hidden penis guy i have a solution 2 ur problem......get a penis pump not a cheap one either ull be happy with the rsults
Ok back again...it's day 14 now and a lot has changed. It looks and feels better, BUT the stitches still snag on underwear/boxers and hurt. I'm still wearing the bandage so it doesn't bother me while walking. It took me about 10 days to finally walk normal.
I'm a fireman and my doc told me one week off is fine...BS! I'm taking a total of 4 weeks off! One week is fine if you have an office job. Like I said you will walk normally again in about 10 days. But my stitches still haven't healed yet, and the last thing I need is to hit a snag in my pants while I'm wearing all my gear fighting a fire! So I'm opting for the full month off...which will be another two weeks.
Changing the bandage is getting super old, but it doesn't hurt as much. I'm over the whole thing. Will be back when all is healed.
I did not get my son circumcised at the time of birth, he is now 15 yrs old but now he is asking to get it done. what are the implications of him getting it done now vs later in his adult life?
hello, i was circumcised about a week ago, now i am experiencing leaky urine. After i urinate, urine seems to leak out slowly for some time after, rather uncomfortable. Does anyone have a clue whats going on? Best guess is its the swelling. I hope to god it isn't permanent.

I have developed phimosis as a 43 year old man, which entails actual splitting of the foreskin. I have considered to be circumized but would like to attempt other methods first.
How can I treat the foreskin after it has split? Second, other than "working" the skin, what else can be done to "soften and stretch" the skin?
Take it from me; have the circumcision. Despite what you may have read, it's really no big deal, and it's bound to be a quicker, more permanent fix than the "soften and stretch" thing you propose.
I should know. I was circumcised about a year and a half ago at age 53. Frankly, I couldn't be happier!
The surgery took about 30 minutes and was performed right in the urologists office under general anesthetic. Healing took, at most, a couple of weeks, and I didn't experience any glans soreness as the result of friction with my underwear. The urologist recommended I refrain from intercourse for one month post-op, but, frankly, I didn't see any need to wait:-p
Overall, I think circumcision gives me a clearer, more esthetically pleasing appearance. I find that intercourse seems to feel better, since I now experience friction going in both directions, in as well as out.
There seems to have been a slight loss of sensation, probably because my super-sensitive frenulum was truncated. However, i count that as a good thing, since my 'staying power' seems much improved.
For heaven's sake, get cut. You won't regret it!
I was just cut last Friday the 19th, and I have had no problems like bleeding or anything in that nature. I do feel what a lot of people talk about. That your head is rubbing against the underwear all day, and it is kind of discomforting! I did notice that I don't smell bad anymore like when I wasn't cut prior to the 19th. Even though I did shower 3 times a day, I would still have a smell that was not pleasant at all. Now, I have a cut penis and am really proud of myself. It does look really different and my wife says that I made the right choice. I'm still waiting for my final visit to the doctor, so he can give me the ok to start taking advantage my of new look with my wife. Can anyone tell me that now that my head is ruubing against the underwears, that is the reason I have more restroom visits? Now I have to go and take a piss more often than usual.
If you want to have it done...go ahead, it should be your decision. That said, this decision should not be made by a third party (such as a parent or doctor). I was cut as an infant. I hate the result. I've learned to live it. Nevertheless the decision was wrong for my parents to make on my behalf. I've heard all the b.s. as it was done for my own good and it's still b.s. As far as I'm concerned, I'm the only one using my penis...so the decision to keep my foreskin should have been mine and mine alone.

I just got cut less than a week ago. I also have the same problem with sensitivity issues such as the head of my penis rubbing against my underwear. The worst part is unwanted erections specifically at night and when I wake up. This causes some minor pain due to the stretching of the site. However, while I still wait for it to heal, I do not have regrets at all and cannot wait to see the end result.
i had my circumcision on july 21 and now the stiches have been desolving and the cut looks like it opened up a little bit it also started swelling from the friction of the boxers my glan is still a little swollen how long does it take to really heal the opening , i went to my doctor for a check up a week later on the 28th he said it looked ok but i dont know......
Can someone PLEASE help me find an Adult Circumcision Clinic in Pennsylvania, US?
I am uncircumcised, and have always thought it would be less satisfying to be circumcised. SO reading this post, and all of the comments shocked me. I found another website that provides many reasons why not being circumcised is beneficial.
It has multiple links and info about phimosis, and other syndromes.
http://www.coloradonocirc.org/foreskin.php
I'm 23, uncut. I'm pretty much a sexual god and I give that extra skin some of the credit. I can last as long as I want. Sex is awesome for me, and for the woman. I've been with quite a few girls and if they had any hesitation at first, I totally wiped it out of their minds.
Most of my friends are uncut and we've ALL been great about keeping clean. It takes about 2 seconds per day, so idk who would have trouble with it.
Yes, some women think it's unattractive. Why? Because most people are second-handers-- they agree with what the majority in their society says. Circumcision started for different reasons in different cultures, but no one can agree on if its good or not. Forget about why it started, live in an intelligent way for our own age.
Note- most people defending circumciscion do so to defend their identity (They're circumcised) or their family/friends/lovers, who are circumcised.
Most of Europe ISN'T circumcised. Girls in Europe tend to think circumcised penises are freakish. I know this first hand.
It's getting less and less common in the US. Be progressive, think for yourself. If people tease you in school, stand up for yourself, be proud that you're different, laugh at their old way of thinking. People will respect you for standing up for yourself.
I've had absolutely NO problems with my foreskin. And tons of benefits (as compared to testimonials by my "cut" friends).
A more appropriate, less extreme comparison is this:
People with chronic ingrown toenails get their toenails cut narrower. This is very necessary for those people, yet no one will go ahead and do it for preventative purposes. Of course, if they did, it wouldn't be a PROBLEM. But why would they? If way back in history, it was made a tradition to cut the toenails narrower, people would be doing it today and justifying it with "well, I'll never get ingrown toenails now!"
The fact is, Most people don't get ingrown toenails, just like most people don't get any of these medical penis issues. If you do, you deal with it. If you need circumcision for medical necessity, by all means do it. Otherwise....
HI I AM A 21 YR OLD MALE AND I AM UNCIRCUMSISED I WAS WONDERING IF THAT COULD B A DIRECT CAUSE OF MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF PRE CUM THAT LEAKS OUT OF MY PENIS WHEN I GET EROUSED EVEN B4 INTERCOURSE
I haven't been circumcised & I want to get it done now, but I'm thinking about how much it costs. Some people say it's very expensive. Is this true?
My husband, 71 yrs old, wants to know if anyone has had as much trouble as he is having. Circumcised 4 mos ago due to what the dr said was yeast infection that dr said would not go away, he still has some stitches that are like knots, still very sensitive, painful, and seems to be nerve damage. Afterwards, Urologist stated it could have been a viral problem. Who knows? Family dr prescribed Lyrical mo ago which has brought some relief. But there are still so many bad days. Anyone experienced this? Any Help? He wishes he had never done the circumcision. Liz46
I am in my mid 20's and I am considering circumcision, but I have a few questions.
- Do you get any drugs or methods to keep erections away while it heals?
- Does getting circumcised this late in life make your penile skin tougher so that the STD risk factor is slightly lowered?
- How do you avoid bad scarring and marks?
Thanks for your help!
My husband and i have been talking about this for quite some time. he loves me very much but no matter how much we try we cant get him to orgasim from me. he has to masterbate. as a woman it makes me feel very low about myself and then he feels bad. should he get circumcised and if so how much does it run for?
