am currently a 14 year old male just starting second year in ireland and well am not currently circumcised and everyone of my friends claim to be I have been researching about getting circumcised but i am not sure because there are some things that are pulling me back from this decision because well first of all the pain that alot of young men are saying that is involved after this procedure and some of the problem with the "cuts". I am embarrassed to talk to my parents about this at the moment because i am not sure what to expect from them so i thought it would be a good idea to get any advice from the internet by posting this. The reason i do want to get circumcised though is not only to "fit in" but am told that it does look much better and feels much better when experiencing oral sex. As well the information i have gathered most people are saying that the cusp or also known as the head of the penis is not as sensitive as it is when it is covered my foreskin. I have researched this just recently and have seen pictures of this procedure and well am not very fond of how it looks. Also i am wondering if they put you to sleep or numb your body/ genital area before this procedure.
Getting circumcised is a big decision to make it sounds like you are doing your research and that's good.
Getting circumcised to fit in maybe not the best reason and as far feeling better circumcised or not there is a great deal of pleasure either way.
As far as appearance some do prefer circumcised but in any relationship being circumcised or not really shouldn't make any difference.
I have heard there is a lot of pain and discomfort associated with the recovery they would either put you out or use a local.
In gym class or any activity where you penis is seen not being circumcised really shouldn't make any difference.
For anyone that is not circumcised proper care and cleaning your penis under your foreskin is really important for anyone good hygiene is needed but there are problems that can develop from not doing it.
It's your decision what you do along with your parents but anyone that you are in a relationship with will feel the same about you if your circumcised or not.
I don't see how oral could feel better with over half your pleasure sensory nerves missing and what are left being dulled by leaving the head exposed permanently. The trick is for her to retract your foreskin all the way so she can work on the whole inner skin and the head. If it won't go back all the way it's probably being restricted by a short frenulum which can be fixed with a little minor surgery.
If you are married or in a permanent relationship and she wants you to get cut for her own erotic pleasure you might consider it but I would suggest researching the different methods. A high and tight would provide you with the least loss of your inner foreskin while leaving the most exposure for her pleasure. There is also a doctor I came across on the internet a while ago who does it a little differently. He makes the cut at the base of the shaft, removes the frenulum if needed then pulls the foreskin back as far as it will go and cuts it to be attached again at the bottom. This leaves your whole inner foreskin stretched out along the the shaft so you haven't lost any of the feel good stuff while leaving everything fully exposed for her pleasure. It also puts the cut at a less painful spot while healing. I didn't save his url but you can probably find him using Google.
I am currently trying to restore my foreskin after been cut as a baby. I had phimosis by the way. In many respects you are lucky because you have the choice as to whether or not you want to be circumsized. I agree with all the other comments that were made but would also just like to say speak to your parents you may be surprised by how they react as long as you can show that you can have the discussion in a mature way. Good luck and keep us updated
