Ok, I'm from Alberta Canada, I was circumcised when I was 22 years old in February of 2014 so about 5 months ago. A bit of a back story as to why goes like this. When I was younger and first encountered pornography, I noticed that the men's penis' did not look like mine, that was a start to my curiosity on the subject of circumcision. I remember one time hanging out with friends as a young child and they saw that I was uncircumcised. They teased and made fun of me beyond anything I'd ever experienced before. I was humiliated and didn't know what to do. I tried to ignore it but came to hate my body. Luckily after that year of school I moved to a new school. I made sure I was never naked or even mentioned circumcision in order to avoid a repeat of what had happened to me before. I went through school not ever having to face that again. As a side note, I did notice that almost all girls in high school wanted a circumcised penis and not an uncircumcised one making it that much harder for me to be confident with what I had.
Zach's Circumcision Experience
After high school I did start to have sexual encounters which went fine other than the attitude the women portrayed of almost "putting up" with the fact that I had foreskin rather than enjoying it. There were times when the smell of my penis interfered and the feeling of the skin getting in the way was annoying for me. I orgasmed far too quickly and was overly sensitive to even the thought of intimacy. After that I spent a few years travelling in places where the culture was that boys were circumcised in order to become men. Even though I wasn't from there I still felt that circumcision was for me. It wasn't long before I was using medical tape to "simulate" the feeling of being circumcised and always wearing my foreskin back. By doing this I tore a part of my frenulum and had to see the doctor. He fixed it no problem with a little bit of poly sporin. After this initial injury it seemed to happen frequently and during sexual encounters I'd experience pain because of the tightness of my frenulum. I went to my doctor and asked about circumcision to which he said would fix the problem but would be a choice only I could make. I did lots of research online, through asking people and thinking. Sites like these helped and others but some sites were full of anti circ propaganda and what not. During this time I met the amazing girl who would become my wife. We got engaged and talked about the whole circumcision idea and she confessed that though she loved my manhood and that it was far from a deal breaker, she did prefer a circumcised penis. All of these experiences led me to eventually choose to get circumcised.
After a few weeks I went in for the surgery, I was approached by the doctor before hand asking me about the style I wanted and what not and he encouraged me and made sure to mention that I would not "experience any loss of sensitivity." I went into the operating room still covered up which made me feel better, the doctor put me to sleep and next thing I knew I woke up sitting in my bed next to my fiance. My penis felt swollen and sore but that was about it. It was wrapped in thick gauze and the bleeding had stopped. The nurse came to check on me and help me urinate. It was strange seeing my penis at this point because it was so swollen, to be honest it kind of freaked me out. After a few hours of getting over how dozed up I was on the anesthesia, I was finally allowed to go home. The first couple days I left the bandage on and didn't pester it much. After about the 3rd day I was able to shower. Night orgasms from then on were uncomfortable but far from painful. The worst part was the stitches coming out. I ended up taking out my last few stitches because of how uncomfortable they were for me which was very painful. but surprisingly enough once the stitches came out it felt SO much better. That was pretty much the highlight of my healing experience.
As for post op experience and sex. Things have changed, I wouldn't say have gotten worse or better by any huge stretch. I love peeing and hygiene now as a circumcised man but masturbation is much harder, sex is much better now seeing as how I can last longer, the orgasms are more intense and my wife loves licking it and looking at it. All in all I am happy that I was circumcised and have never been more proud of my penis.
