Hey peeps...This sounds really dumb and embarrassing but I know very little about circumcision, but keen to look at the pros and cons of getting it done....what does the procedure include? How long does it take? Are your bits at risk at any stage? And what about cost can you get it done on the NHS or is it privately done.
What about sistas what do you prefer?

I guess it does depend on why you want it. For non medical reasons, chances are you will have to go private. For medical reasons, then NHS will cover.

On medical grounds, I was circumcised at 43. My then g’friend had the opportunity of really telling people as it was, as we had been together for over a year at that stage and stayed together for another 18mths.

The whole hygiene issue is a load of RUBBISH. A man is either clean or he is not. I was unable to retract before my op and maintain 100% cleanliness, freshness etc all my life, WHY? Because I took care of myself daily, bi-daily or tri-daily if I thought it need be. If your unclean you are unclean regardless to whether you are intact or not.

NOW as an adult, I will say this. THERE IS NO NEED ON THIS PLANET to subject any child to the pain that I went through for 14 months [post op]. All this talk about a baby won’t feel it or its not so sensitive is RUBBISH.

You can STOP all of this RUBBISH about tradition and culture. It is a BRUTAL mutilation that has become very fashionable. It is torture to the body. I had mine done because I needed to have it done. I am telling it straight here cos no baby can come to this thread and tell it for real like I AM HERE.

I believe that it has made zero difference to hygiene. BUT it has allowed me to gain better blood flow and thus achieve an even bigger erection [about 15-20mm]. It never looked bad before [I am bound to say that] but yes, it does look better now. I was always able to maintain an erection for silly amounts of time before, I still can and maybe even longer now, though it is much less sensitive which means oral sex can be tiresome for your lady.

Sex from my then g’friend’s point of view.. It was different [my attitude mainly], not better just different for she felt it was always good before, so my attitude to her pleasure did not change if anything I wanted to show off once I got it working again.

I get concerned about women who say that they would not go out with a man that is not cut,, I would never say that I would not go out with a woman who had not had some form of sexual cosmetic surgery and that is just what this is at birth,, PURE COSMETIC SURGERY where a child has no choice.

But if like me, you have to have it done, then it has to be done. I put it off for years but it had to be done..


I had mine done at 43yrs old under the NHS; it was something that I was putting off for years..

It needed to be done but I could not walk properly for the best part of a year.. mine might have been unusually painful, but sex was out for almost six months.

The op took a morning and I was home the same day.

Now that it is done and all is calm downstairs, I am glad that I had it done as all the associated problems have all but gone and I am happier.
