I seriously doubt you could get it free. The only way I could think of would be if you have health insurance and it was determined to be medically necessary.
I am sorry.

Johnboy,

these days, I believe the surgery is not free. Please make certain that the circumcision is something that you truly want and need. Once the surgery is done, it's done. I was not circumcised and and glad that I was not. This is your decision. I wish you the best, no matter what decision you make.

Why are you happy you're not circumcised?

Johnboy,

the fact that I have not been circumcised gives me a peace that my penis was not altered. I have seen botched circumcisions on the internet that have left a few men very unhappy and disfigured for life. Even though those cases may be in the minority, i'm glad that my parents did not take that chance with me.

I take a bath every day, and I wash all parts of my body, so again, being uncircumcised has never been a problem for me.

I am not a doctor. Some male babies may be born with circumstances that warrant some degree of clipping of the foreskin. In cases like this, I still believe the absolute minimum of foreskin should be removed.

Again, do your research, make your own decision. Don't let anyone else make it for you.

I had my son circumcised when he was a week old a few weeks ago and it costed 200 dollars.....And my insurance didn't cover it because it is cosmetic surgery. I dont know if they would charge more for you or not. Or even who would do it, my ob/gyn did my sons but i'm not sure they do 16 year olds....Lol.

Yes,definately make the decision yourself. As long as you have a good doctor though, there is nothing to worry about. And as a woman let me just say that I find uncircumcised penis' very unattractive. Just my opinion, and every other woman I have ever talked to about it.

I want to know from a womans point of view how does the uncircumcised penis look very unattractive and why? Just curious. On that note I know some men from africa that say women who arnt circumcised say the same thing kind of wiered huh?

How can a woman be circumcised? We do not have penis' if you mean getting our clit cut off, oooh. There is not medical reason for that. Actually in cultures who do that they only do it so that the woman has no sexual desires whatsoever. That way they do not cheat. Well, I would not get any pleasure at all having sex with someone who couldn't even enjoy it. But, to each his own, once again.
I personally think uncircumcised penis' look like worms. And they are harder to keep clean, which means more infections for me after intercourse. But once again, just my personal preference.

hmm my penis does not look like a worm I don’t know what uncircumcised men you have been with but there genetics on that side must of been odd because my foreskin is extremely short and does not look like a worm. And there are less extreme forms of female circumcision then removal of the clitoris. Like removing the clitoral hood. This is the more common type that is performed in other countries. How could you know how hard it is to clean a foreskin are you really a man. Or did you change your sex or something. Personally it is not hard to keep my clean a shower a night retract the entire time during the shower and put back what is so hard about that. So have you been with a uncircumcised man before is that why you got this preference? If you have not been with one you can not say they are dirty or have infections if you have. I have never had one infection. In fact the only infection that was serious that I got was from a girl which was strep b. But I am not about to say if some one chopped her skin off of her vagina that I would not of gotten sick. I almost died from that infection. I had other problems but still. So you see women can be more of a carrier of infection then a uncircumcised man could ever be. So may be instead of blaming men for these infection we should blame women for having all of those folds of skin that trap smegma and infection for these problems. You see the same logic can be applied to women to. All be it I am sorry the preference of your old boy friend was to not clean him self. But it has nothing to do with him not being circumcised.

Oh, grow up for goodness sakes.
I have never had sex with an uncircumcised male and prefer never to.
I did not say anything about you carrying an infection. I said, since it is harder to keep an uncircumcised penis clean of all bacteria that means more infections for the female. All it takes is one little tiny piece of bacteria, and when you are not c., it hides under your foreskin.
I am sorry that I am not familiar with female cir., I do apologize, but I have never heard of it except for the removal of the clitorus. If that is what the female or her parents choose to do than more power to them.
And I know that they are harder to keep clean, because that is a fact. Why do you think most parents choose to circumcise their children? It isn't just because. There are health reasons.
I am happy that you keep yourself clean and are happy with your penis.
You asked my opinion and I gave it. Don't get all defensive on me. There is absolutely no point. And to me they do look like worms. Or eels or something of the sort. They do absolutely nothing for me. Just my opinion.

Also, woman and men can carry infections. I am not talking about stds. Do you have a vagina? O.K, then don't tell me that women do not get infections from men, cir. Or not. We so easily get uti's, bv, yeast infections just from intercourse. So, you see when there are more places for it to hide in an uncir. Male I personally would much rather not take the chance.
Once again, I am not saying that uncir. Penis' are absolutely disgusting. I do not find them attractive personally. You asked why and I told you. If you do not want to know or are going to accuse me of being a man or having intercourse with dirt balls than don't ask questions.

Its cool I was just trying to understand you point on view. But the fact is that there are different types of circumcisions that are done. Just like in the female circ. Some remove more skin some remove much less. So even if the male is circumcised they still can have plenty of hiding places for infection to remain there. Sorry if you thought I was being defensive just trying to understand you point of view.

Oh, o.K. I know that even if circ. There are still many places for bacteria to hide. And yes, men and women carry bacteria equally.
I am just one of those unlucky girls who gets some kind of infection almost every time I have intercourse. Whether the man pushes bacteria from him up into me, or if it is already there but he pushes it into the wrong place, I dunno. But it sucks either way.
I was not trying to be mean about the whole thing. Like I said it is only my opinion. Everyone likes different things. It is just like a guy liking big boobs or long legs or ghetto booties. Some women like stomachs, chests, arms, or cir. Penis'. Or uncir. Penis'. Everyone has their own preferences. That is just mine.

I can totally relate. The last girl I either kissed or it was from having sex with I got strep b that nearly took my life. So I probly have just as bad of luck with that as you. The preference thing is understandable to. I am not upset or anything else was just trying to understand you situation.

You won't be able to consent to the procedure till you're over 18, so take the time to think about it. I was circumcised as a baby for religious reasons and recommend it. As an uncircumcsed male you need to be concened with smegma, the filth that builds up under the foreskin and causes odor. You may have noticed it is hard to stay clean between baths. This procedure may be painful because you are grown so consider it carefully. If you don't go through with it make sure your penis is clean. Many women prefer circumcised men.

Ok this is to shawn, hotasfrick was not saying anything to be rude. She simply misunderstood what you said. I, too, find an uncircumcised penis unattractive. They look like pencils! Lol.....But thats just me. I don't talk to other females about it. And keeping an uncircumcised penis clean is more difficult than a circumcised one. And I know from experience. Before my son was circumcised, I had to pull back the foreskin and clean under it. Now I just clean around it. So that is one thing that makes circumcision more attractive, it is easier to keep a clean penis.

But johnboy, just make sure it's really what you want to do. Because it's forever. It can't be reversed. Hope you make an intelligent and informed decision!

umm... But I thought you said "i have never had sex with an uncircumcised male " and you never want to in the future. So your argument kind of fell on its head then, as you must have got these sexual diseases from people who were circumcised.

Yeah, maybe you should learn how to read...
First of all I don't have any sexual diseases. I get infections and there is a huge difference. It is very easy for a woman to get an infection from intercourse because all it takes is one little tiny piece of bacteria.
I said that I have enough trouble having intercourse with a man with a circumcised penis and for me it would be even more troublesome having it with a man who is not circumcised, because of the extra places for bacteria to hide.
No, I have never had sex with an uncircumcised man and hope that I never have to.

But, back to johnboy, it is ultimately up to you no matter what anyone else says. Most people have no problems whatsoever being circumcised, but there are those select few who develop problems from it. So, if you do decide to go through with it just make sure you have a good doctor whom you trust.

Kissybai....Thanks for understanding! All I said was that it was my personal preference. He asked why and I explained...That is all!

Sheesh, someone needs a chill pill. I can read perfectly well, an infection is caused by an infectious disease fyi. Therefore infections are diseases. So yes, I can read. Never the less you dodged the whole point of my last post quite succesfully however, I did read your other post where you said that you just prefered circ'ed penis, and it was your personal pref. Which will make never have sex with uncirc.Ed penis fair enough.
Personally, i'd call you shallow. If at the end of the day you don't end up marrying/dating someone just because their penis is circ.Ed or not.

Btw, you are american right? That would explain a lot I guess, different attitudes. Also - do you have any religious reasons - also would explain a lot.
