My Circumcision

[Nothappy]

Hi, I was circumcised as a baby and I'm not happy about it. I was born in the late 1960's when circumcision was a lot more common that it is now.

I knew that I was different when I was a boy from seeing other normal penises in the change room at school.

I don't blame my mother for not protecting me from being circumcised as she was only 22 years only and didn't know any better as my dad was circumcised and he was her only sexual partner.

I haven't and wont discuss my circ with her and I don't want to burden her with guilt about something she can't change. When my younger brother was born in the late 1970's he was not circumcised. I am so jealous of him.


My wife is pregnant with our first child and there is no way if it is a boy that I will allow him to be circumcised.

I found this site when researching circumcision on the net. This chap is a lot more eloquent that me but sums up my feeling about circumcision exactly!! :yelclap:, but says some words that are allowed by the moderators on this site so I won't copy and paste it here.

Here is the link:

I'll post some more information about living with a circumcised penis later, Its late so I'm going to bed....

I hope you find all the support you need here.

It must be incredibly difficult- my husband always wonders what he missed out on my being circ'd. He doesn't feel too strongly about it but wishes he wasn't done.

Thank you for that link and i hope your posting and the info you have shared may possibly make someone who is thinking about circ'ing think a little harder and perhaps even decide not to do it.:hugs:

I am so sorry you have been circumcised without your consent. I can't imagine what it must be like. Have you ever heard of foreskin restoration? Maybe that could help.

Thank-you for sharing your story and that link with us :hugs: I can't imagine what it must be like to grow up missing a piece of my body, no less my genitalia :( My husband has always been very grateful that he is intact, we do not take this for granted and will pass this part of male well-being on to any sons we have. It is so important that voices like yours be heard.

Thanks everyone for the kind words. :)

I haven't been here for a while as it just makes me more angry and depressed about what was done to me with out my consent.

Yes, neostudded, I've investigated what can be done to restore my missing foreskin.
I've tried the "tape and elastic" method to try to stretch my remaining skin over my glans but it is a slow process & (potentially painful when you get it wrong) that take about 2 years of consistent practice to achieve any results. I just don't have the patience for this at the moment.

I'm hoping that one day genetic engineering will be able to make me a new foreskin.
But this still seems a long way off. :(

So I'm back here posting to hopefully save some other men the pain
of loosing an important part of their penis without their consent.

PS. My wife had complications with the pregnancy and lost our baby at about 9 weeks. She has just had a C/s to remove a 12cm fibroid from her uterus 12 days ago. We will have another go once she is healed and ready.
