i want to get circumcised, and i am 16 years old.

are there any reasons why i shouldn't?

my main reason for wanting to is because i am uncomfortable with being un-cut, and I am in confident when it comes to presenting to women

I would wait until you are older.
In my honest opinion, I would wait until you are a bit older to make the decision. I was circumcised at birth (against my will) and upon realizing what was taken from my, I strongly wish I had that (foreskin) back. Once you realize how it works and functions during sex I think you will find it worth wile to hang onto

I have tried it, but it takes a great deal of time. I have seen a noticeable increase in skin, but its very hard to keep at.. I fully intend to finish one day though

Getting Cut at 16
It's really dangerous to ask people if you should get cut or not. They will want you to do what THEY want, not what YOU want.
You already know that you want to get circumcised. That's all that matters. Is 16 a good age for it? You bet. Lots of uncut boys want to get cut, from around puberty on through final school years. Go for it.
That aside, lots of uncut boys find out they NEED to cut about then, because puberty, frequent erections and other changes finally reveal foreskin problems that were never discovered before. So many were never taught to keep their skins pulled back, frequently or permanently, so the penis head can stay clean and can grow and develop properly. Other remedies MAY work, but circumcision WILL work. Good luck.

Hi,

I would highly recommend you do not listen to the above guy. Get circumcised if you want but leaving the skin pulled back permanently is NOT GOOD for your penis! You DO NOT need to pull the skin back on a permanent on even semi-permanent basis for the head to stay clean or develop properly. The skin should be pulled back during urination and also while showering for cleaning. I would suggest you wait a little while longer before you decide. Not telling you what you should do but remember the foreskin contains many nerves not present in other parts of the penis that respond to slight stretching and light touch and that your foreskin is a normal and natural part of your body and personally i would be reluctant to remove mine unless medically i had a reason and no other option.

Good luck with your decision
