Q: Half-circumcision..?
asked by: Sillybulanston on January 31st, 2005

I have what appears to be a very small foreskin. It's not tight like phimosis, but rather short. When i'm flacid it goes about halfway down my glans. I am able to pull it all the way over though, it just doesn't stay like that. Also, when I am erect, it automatically retracts, but I am still able to pull it about halfway down. I'm only 14 and rather hesitant to ask my parents because they don't really enjoy the talk of anything sexual in nature.


I know it doesn't really matter but i'm curious because all my friends who are uncircumcised have foreskins that go down the entire length of their glans. So have I been half-circumcised or are there foreskins that are rather small?

Well, let's face it. I'm a female and probably know very little about circumcision. However, it doesn't seem very logical that you would be circumcized and not know about it from your parents. It seems to me that it would be something a parent would mention to a young child about their birth/ infancy. I'm sure if you have had a circumcision that it was not poorly done. I really wouldn't worry about it that much.

Circumcision can be done many ways. Depending on how you were circumcised, or how much the doctor removed you may have a very lose circumcision. One way to tell is by looking for a scar, or a dark band, just below the glands.

Nope. Parents don't talk to their sons about their circumcisions.

Sad, but true.

Circumcision = bad!
Reduces sexual pleasure ALOT
Don't cut away at the most sensitive part of your body, because you will lose your sensitivity where it matters the most

You can grow enough foreskin to cover your entire glands. Google foreskin restoration

Circumcision has no impact on sexual pleasure. If your foreskin is the most sensitive part of your body I feel very badly for you. It should be a distant 7th.

Wolf: "Circumcision has no impact on sexual pleasure. If your foreskin is the most sensitive part of your body I feel very badly for you. It should be a distant 7th. "

That's simply untrue. The foreskin is an important part of sexual intercourse. I've read dozens of reports from men who had circumcisions later in life for various reasons (medical/religious mostly), and nearly as a whole they regret the loss of their foreskin, and I've never once read anyone say sex is BETTER without the foreskin.

You're simply the man without ears saying how unimportant hearing is.

Great, you've read a report. I've talked to human beings who were circumcised. I've been with men both circumcised and not. Let me tell you again; A penis is a penis is a penis. The lower ridge of your meatus has 200 time more nerve endings per square inch than the foreskin. If you have any sense at all that something is happenning to your foreskin during sex then you are crippled sexually.

Also if you can hear with your foreskin you should probably see your doctor at your earliest conveneince It is not a functioning part of human anatomy now that men have invented pants.

Wow. Well. There we go. The mentality of a person in favor of circumcision.

Seems about right.

About the only thing I'm in favor of is that you all stop this nonsense about circumcision being a crime against nature that somehow damages a man. You've no medicine or science to back up your absurd claims. The wide and deep of you are basing your point of view on the very unscientific view on the undocumented opinion of a single person or on a good day the second-hand opinions of a handful of people. To call that knowledge is laughable.

Would I need science, or medicine to back up my "absurd" claim that it would be a crime against nature, or damaging to a man to surgically remove any non-genital related part of an infant male for cosmetic reasons?

You seem to be a woman (I genuinely apologize if I'm making an incorrect assumption based on your statements of sexuality)... how would you feel if I suggested that we should remove the clitoral hood of infant females?

How about your labia?

Neither of those serve any purpose "now that men have invented pants."

Yes you would need science or medicine to prove that anything done to another human is harmful unless it's something so blatantly obvious as ramming a railroad spike through their head. otherwise it is entirely your opinion that harm has occured. However, circumcision is not a cosmetic surgery. It is a hygenic surgery and as such is coverred by health insurance. I've little doubt that you have an opinion about the hygenic benifits of circumcision but a lot of doctors disagree with you. Don't want to shock you but I'm going to discount their opinions based on yours.

And again I do say opinions because the debate of hygene and circumcision is not decided by any stretch of the imagination, for every study that shows a risk of infection injury without circumcision there is a study that refutes it. Regardless of which side is correct the instance of a foreskin causing a medical issue is miniscule, but not so low as other potential risks that we proactively medicate.

The labia is a sensate organ that faciltates arousal in women as well as keeping sand out of our coochies. The clitoral hood is analogous to the forskin in circumcision but unlike male circumcision female circumcision causes pain during arousal. That being said. If it were the tradition of my people to sheer the clitoral hood or cut the labia and vaginas bearing these surgeries were the dominant perception of female anatomy I wouldn't allow my daughter to be raised with genetalia that differred from the norm. I would either consign her to genital modificaiton or I would move to a country that didn't endorse them.

Gotcha.

I think I'll just leave my position where it is, because I can't imagine anyone would need any other information to realize just how evil your opinion is.

Yes, wanting your children to feel normal and accepted is the very heart of darkness. Three cheers for insecurity and sexual anxiety! Down with your kids feeling sexually adequate or escaping intimacy disorders.

Grow up..
