What a simplistic and probably silly answer. What if parents decided not to circumcise then the person decided to have it done as an adult?

My father and four brothers were all intact (not circumcised), I was kept intact too.
My foreskin was used in all kinds of ways during sexual activity, and its inner surface was the most sensitive part of my penis (more sensitive that even the glans). Orgasms were so intense that my body would convulse with waves of ecstatic pleasure.
When I was 19 I had an elective circumcision just to fit in as my friends were circumcised.
Conventional wisdom at the time (which is still around today unfortunately) said that there was no difference between being intact and being circumcised. Common sense should have told me otherwise, but I was young. Following circumcision, the constantly exposed glans dried out and its surface became ordinary skin rather than moist mucous membrane. The surface became calloused rather than delicate, and although the nerves were still there below the surface, the calloused, dry and thicker skin of the glans definitely decreased sensation as well as lack of foreskin full of sensory nerve endings.
Orgasms were still possible of course, but they were not nearly as intense as when I was intact.
Later, I discovered that non-surgical foreskin restoration was possible. I wrote off for the directions and fashioned home-made devices to restore my foreskin and protect my glans again. My glans has resensitised and became a moist mucous membrane once again. The loose skin (which looks very natural and functions surprisingly naturally too) makes masturbation and intercourse easy and more enjoyable for both myself and my wife.
I have two intact young adult sons who are both grateful they were kept that way.
Some men will write in and say it makes no difference or much better after having an adult snip…however many like myself are disappointed and do foreskin restoration. Just be grateful that it’s a god given gift to be born with a foreskin that has a purpose and function…boys,men and women need to be taught about the benefits of a foreskin.

I am sorry you don't enjoy being circumcised.
As a counterpoint, I was circumcised in my mid-20s and love it.
Some of my earliest memories are of seeing circumcised friends and thinking how much better it looked.
I found my foreskin was an annoyance. Pubic hair used to get stuck in it and when I became sexually active I didn't like the feeling of it rolling back and forth inside my girlfriend. One of us holding the foreskin back during sex was so much more enjoyable. (She didn't care either way.)
After I was circumcised, the feeling was different in a way that's difficult to describe. I could feel my girlfriend's entire vagina enveloping my penis, right down to the base.
I have never regretted getting circumcised, and my girlfriends and partners have only had positive comments.
I'm in two minds about whether I would have preferred to have been done as a baby. It would have saved me having it done later but also I am glad I had the choice.
I wouldn't circumcise any boys I had. I view it as needless cosmetic surgery. But I'd support my son(s) if they decided to have it done..

Sorry that you didn’t like been intact.Not many men have your problem with pubic hair getting stuck etc. Ever heard of shaving? Most men and even some women like the feel of the foreskin gliding back and forth with those extra sensory nerves.
I guess if your happy good luck! The majority of men love being natural and that’s why it’s important all boys are given the opportunity of remaining natural…

I honestly don't know, all other things being equal, how someone can prefer a foreskin over a clean, beautiful, sexy and properly cut circumcised penis.

Easily, I much prefer an uncircumcised penis over a cut one. They’re both as clean as each other

Great that it's more routinely done in the US!

Your wife is Aussie?

Yeah I'm seeing an American and he was circumcised at birth. He likes it but I'm unsure and starting to get used to it. I agree it's cleaner smelling for a BJ but handjobs are so much stranger. Sex is good though ;-)

Do you think you can feel the difference during sex? I know I can, and prefer it to the feel of foreskin.
I know what you mean about handjobs though. They're certainly not easy when the skin is stretched so tightly!

I actually love how tight the skin is on a circumcised willy when it's erect!

I completely agree. The tighter the better. Minimal skin movement is great, feels wonderful and looks so sleek!

I can feel the head more during sex if the guy is circumcised.

Because the US is full of religious nuts

I’m in the same boat as you, my family didn’t circumcise aswell and my partner is uncut

Does he know that?

yes lol

Poor guy :-)
Would he consider getting it done? Hubby got himself done as an an adult before we met and says it's so much better. I'm thankful because I have always preferred my men sans foreskin!

Please let us know what you think (I'm definitely in camp cut, FWIW!).

Camp cut here too!

All my spouses except one have been cut too.

Lucky you :-)
My experience was about 50-50. I was always a bit disappointed when I got down to business and found foreskin!
So happy that hubby decided to get himself done not long before we met.

Men certainly don't need the foreskin!

It’s normal lol. He doesn’t like to have his foreskin pulled back anyway so it works out well

Can't pull it back???

It can come back easily but we prefer to leave it where it is

H is like this. His skin will stay up until one of us pulls it back. I let it be Im playing with it so sometimes I won’t bring it back at all

Yes my husband does that when he is putting it in me, goes in easier he says. He has quite loose foreskin so generally it come out of me covered

Is this common for many men for the skin to stay up when erect or having sex? The ones I have seen the skin is mostly behind the head when they have an erection or after having sex.

It should come back when erect, or able to be pulled back easily. Staying over the head is not usual and if it never comes back or is tight you should see a doctor. There are treatments available that don't include circumcision.

I get a lot more stimulation if the head is exposed!

Yeah I agree, my husband isn't circumcised and so much nicer. Penetration is a pleasant experience rather than a push in !. I don;t get as dry with my husband as I used to with a circumcised ex partner. I also really like it when I play with my husbands penis because the skin goes up and over the head easily.

It’s there for a reason lol, my partner is uncut and it’s just that much better. No kids yet thoigh

Where are you? From the comments here it seems common.

North qld

OK, and I always thought cut was more common the further north you went (Tas basically zero!). Maybe not!

I can imagine cut being cleaner in the tropics!

Lived with my partner for years now and his foreskin is always clean, I wouldn’t give him a surprise blowjob straight after the gym but any other time without hesitation.

Is he glad or sorry about it? Do you care?

He just wishes it had been done at birth. The doc did a good job with his though, and no complaints from me haha

Hubby was done as an adult because he wanted to. He had no health issues. We both love it now!

Interesting! Anything in particular you prefer about it now?

I posted the previous comment. My hubby had it done in his 20s, before we met.
He says he always hated his foreskin because of the look of it, the feel of it during sex and that it just generally got in the way (apparently pubes used to get caught in it!).
He says that for him there are no downsides. Sex better, looks great, etc.
I have a strong preference for a circumcised guy so I am very thankful he had it done.
We agree though that any boys of ours wouldn't be done and we'd let them decide for themselves, like hubby was able to.

I still prefer feeling the head more during a handjob on circumcised lol

Exactly the same as my hubby, but he had it done at 23.
What do you both think of it now? Better, worse, or don't care?

Is he happy being cut now?

yep. His foreskin was a bit tight, and he couldn't clean it.

Sounds awful lol!

Any preference? Is he happy being uncut?

If I could choose, I'd say I prefer cut, but I won't judge a guy on it. BF has lot of foreskin (it retracts fine but can still easily cover the head when erect) and has hinted that maybe having less skin or having it cut would have been nice.

It's never too late :-)

It's interesting that even though routine circumcision has fallen out of favour in Australia, so many women seem to have a strong preference for it!?

I agree. It does seem that women who have both (me included) generally prefer a member without a foreskin! I just find it better all around.

I wonder if it will make a comeback?!

Reading the comments here, it really does seem that most women prefer it (although that's not very scientific!).
I know most of my friends and I do, too, but some couldn't care either way. When the girls talk, none of my friends admit to preferring foreskin, despite what they need to tell their uncut partners!
As for it making a comeback, the other thing that surprises me on here is the numbers who have circumcised their sons and that it seems quite prevalent in their circles of friends.
I understood that it was about 10-20% (depending on the state you're in or rural v city) but it seems quite higher than that.

Yeah, definitely seems like it. I'm in favour of it lol

Where are you from?

Sydney

Apparently the rate of circumcision increases the further north you go, so that may explain why you've never come across a foreskin!
I'm in Melbourne and it is about 50-50, from experience. I'm in a similar age group to you.

I see! Any preference?

I'm the poster of the previous comment about experiencing 50-50. I have a very strong preference for circumcision and am lucky I fell in love with a cut guy.
He actually had it done as an adult before we met.
We are both not in favour of doing it to babies. He's glad he had the choice.
