    Protests are annual events

    Yep. Circumcision is an important issue for many of us who are upset that part of our penis was cut off when we were born. Female circumcision was legal until 1996. It is about time that male circumcision became illegal. Baby boys do not need to be circumcised.

    I bought the man hood as well

    I bought the man hood as well as the your skin cone and senslip because I really wanted the best possible product. I found the cone was the best of the three but it only stayed on during light activity and bending over or moving around a lot would cause it to shift. The manhood is something I wear when I workout, run etc. It is really easy to put on and comfertable and will stay on. If you workout a lot this is something to consider.

    skin bridge

    I have the same problem, would you recomend getting it surgecally corrected? 

     

    I am 25 and have been with 10 women and none have ever said anything until my current girlfriend.  She just asked what is that?  I had never thought about it before because no one ever told me what "normal penis" should look like.  Now I want the sugery but Im not sure what the potential side effects are.  

     

    Any thoughts??

    Can't believe I never thought of googling this before now!

    I am completely blown away here. I'm 40 and never knew what this was or why I had it. I've also tried to cut it but could never go through with it out of fear because I didn't really know what I was doing or what the consequences might be. I too have always felt self-conscious about it and because of it I've never experienced a full and satisfying sexual life and always had relationship problems due to my own insecurities.

    It is horrifying to suddenly discover after 40 years of complete ignorance that my entire life has been altered since birth by some insane perverse infant-mutilation pact between my parents and some freak with a phd! I want to fight this injustice. Please someone tell me the most powerful and respected lobby that is fighting to end circumcision.

    I love intact men!

    I have had both intact and circumcised partners and the difference is tremendous! There is, in my opinion, the bonding issue which circumcised men seem to lack in intimacy. Then there is the lubrication issue which circumcised men lack as well, which makes sex rougher compared to intact men who don't need to thrust like they can't fell anything. Also, I do not like scars which are present on circumcised penises yet the intact ones are smooth, velvety and have uniform coloring and texture. I have not yet had sex with a circumcised man who could bring me to orgasm, yet every intact man I have had sex with has......

    I am now married and have a son who we decided to leave intact as well and I am happy that he is a whole person! I wish I could understand the American society's need to literally amputate the most sensitive and pleasurable part of the male anatomy for the sake of , let's call it, "cleanliness" which is totaly bogus! Man was created to clean ALL of his body parts and not chop off any usefull ones. There is no need to circumcise as we were endowed with two hands which can wash under the foreskin, or so I have noticed! The penis, intact, is beautifull and the way it should look. As a man ages, the foreskin retracts as needed and before adolescence it should not be looked at as a redundant body part. It is as usefull as, lets say, the lips, or the eyelids and has similar functions as these body parts.

    I have encountered countless women and girls who think and say that circumcision is the way to be "normal". How sad must it be for the women who have never had sex with intact men!!!!! Ignorance has made me write this comment and to urge people to educate themselves for the sake of pleasure if for nothing else!

    Foreskins are beautiful, pleasurable, protective and not dirty at all! How is it that women do not need to be circumcised in America? We all have the same parts yet we aren't dirty as intact men suposedly are????? What if we started to remove our clitoral hoods and labia as we judge the African countries for mutilating their women????? Is it a double standard or am I just crazy to think women and men should live and l love their intact bodies????? Wake up, America!!!!! We aren't primitives, we don't live in tribes and our intactness is what ultimately shapes us as humans!!!! Right down to our thoughts processes and behaviour!

    I have been with quite a few

    I have been with quite a few uncircumsized men, and I GREATLY prefer it, as long as the man has good hygiene.

     

    It feels much better inside of me, is self-lubricated, and is fun to play with dural oral sex.

    Outch, that sounds painful!!!!

    Never do it yourself, as it will definitely look worse off.

    Not sure where you're located, but I found a great doctor in Melbourne, Australia who is helping me (and he does it on Medicare for free).

    I have learnt that our types of skin bridges are easy to fix (if done by a proper doctor).

    Not sure if you read one of my other posts, but the doctor said to me that after the skin bridge is cut off, he will most likely let the wound heal by secondary intention (let it heal itself).

    He said that there will most likely be no scar, but some slight discoloration... a little more pink. This is expected as it will be a fresh wound that will need healing and should fade somewhat over time.

    I take it your skin bridge is not full joined, therefore you can poke a cotton bud through it to the other side???

    To be honest I wish I got mine fixed when I was 19 years old as later on in life (Im only 35)  its been harder to keep clean etc.. The doctor said it will look 100% better than it does now.

    Im on a waiting list for the operation, if you like I don't mind sending you a before and after pic to let you know what it looks like, but keep in mind it will be some months before I see the finial result.

    Surgery

    I was 38 when i had my skin bridge cut. I wish i had it cut yrs ago. It was a lil painful when i had erections when i had the skin bridge, cuz of the pulling n stretching. Now that it is cut i dont have that problem. Feels much better n looks like a normal penis. I have been with about 7 women n none of them was bothered with me having it. So dont be ashamed the way it looks. I also have been stretching my foreskin, giving me extra skin. It is making my penis look like i was uncircumsised, which is more pleasureable masterbating n having sex. Get back at me if u wanna talk bout it more.
    Thanks

    Same...

    I have a skin bridge the same size on the right side. I'm 19 and am too scared to get into a relationship for fear of what girls will think. I'm not as sexual because of it, and it saddens me. I tried cutting it a few times but it bled like crazy... I almost bled out. I haven't told my parents because the issue was very weird. I was thinking of trying the surgery, but I don't know after hearing that it wasn't much better after it was finished.

    I LOVE Foreskin!

    Hi Tally,
    I am an Italian man living in USA and I was surfing on Youtube for a Tantra YabYum position when I found your video about Circumcision. I really loved it and especially your sensitivity and knowledge on the topic.
    I had to force my wife to do not circumcise our son. My wife that is American was saying that he will be different from all other boys and he will feel uncomfortable! Fortunately I was tough enough to kip him uncircumcised and I am sure he will be happy when he growns up.

    I would like to add to your video post that a man also lose a lot of sensitivity with circumcision due to the loss of vascularization. As an uncircumcise man I cannot say how much sensitivity you lose but I can say that the head skin become thicker, less sensitive with no lubrication at all. Also the shaft is less sensitive due the mutilation. Did you notice how many veins there are on the foreskin?
    These statements are made from few of my friends that were circumcise because phimosis. They say that they last longer but I do not agree with them and eventually I do not trade the sensation that my entire body feels with a longer lasting orgasm.

    I believe your boyfriend or husband is very lucky to have a woman like you that is able to understand these aspects of sensuality. For the majority of women oral sex is a way to please man not themselves. This apparent detail is very important for man like me that appreciate sensuality and every sensation of it.

    Unfortunately I never found women like you that are able to fully understand the sensations of oral sex. 

    Ciao

    Like many other men, your

    Like many other men, your circumcision is likely the cause of the problems you describe.

    It sounds like you have a very tight circumcision. The circumcising doctor too off too much skin. You do not have enough slack skin to support a full erection, so your shaft skin becomes taut, like an overstuffed sausage. I, too, had tight erections, but not nearly as tight as you describe. Foreskin restoration made all the difference for me and will likely help you, too.

    I suggest that you investigate manual tugging method 2. Tug several times a day and soon you will notice that your erections are more comfortable. Tugging made a big difference with my tight erections. I was surprised at the difference between a tight erection and one with slack skin.

    Circumcision Tightness

    I was csd when I was around 8 yrs old due to foreskin tightness. I am now pushing towards 50 and I have experienced extreme discomfort during erections since I can remember. During erections my testicle sack tightens and pulls the testicles up into my lower abdomen. I also can experience slight cracking in my skin that covers the length of my penis and can be quite sore after sex.

    I feel as though the circumcision that was carried out when I was a child was done in such a way that my penis is held in a very tight outer skin and I have always felt that I was going to split. Everything feels so tight. Could the circumcision be responsible for these issues?

    Could be many things

    Depending upon how you were circumcised, you could have a skin tag or even a part of your original ridged band. It is difficult to tell from the limited information you have given.

    You may want to consider joining Foreskin Restoration / Intactivism Network or RestoringForeskin.org. Both of those sites allow pictures to be uploaded so others can see what you have and perhaps help you. Someone on either of those sites may be able to give you better advice with more information.

    If you think you have premature ejaculation because of sensitive spots on your circumcised penis, wear a condom. Condoms have a reputation of reducing sensitivity. If you still ejaculate too soon, then you may want to see a doctor to make sure that there is not a medical problem.

    Something unusual

    I am a 21 year old circumcised male who has researching the causes of premature ejaculation I have been facing. After I have realized that I may not have the usual symptoms mentioned in many different websites (although still may), I have noticed an unusual extra tiny piece of skin right where my frenulum ends (bottom end). It is very hard to describe but the only similar thing I have found to help me describe is a skin tag, except that its very soft even during an erection. The problem I am facing is that I believe it might be causing my PE because its more sensitive than both the frenulum and corona when stimulated, and therefore causes me to ejaculate earlier than usual.
    Looking forward for advice.

    Thanks.

    Start with a urologist

    I suggest starting with a urologist, who can determine what would be required to correct your skin bridges. The urologist may refer you to another doctor, maybe a plastic surgeon (always a good choice for skin surgeries).

    Urologists are used to seeing people with problems with their penis. Having a skin bridge or two is nothing to be ashamed of. The doctor that circumcised you should be ashamed for what he did. Not you.

    One thing to consider is how fast do you normally heal when you cut yourself? It will likely take you the same amount of time to heal after getting your skin bridges fixed. If you wear a condom, you could probably have sex within a couple days.

    Good luck with getting them fixed. Let us know how it turns out.

    Ask your doctor

    That is a question best asked of your surgeon. What you describe does not sound unusual, but an examination by a doctor should always be the first recourse, particularly after a surgery.

    One thing to consider is how fast do you normally heal when you cut yourself? You will not heal any quicker after your circumcision and most likely take longer because a circumcision is much more invasive than the typical cut.

    Frenulum healing too slow after circumcision

    Im 28 and got circumcisized 12 days ago because of tight foreskin. all is almost healed except the frenulum. nowadays i always wrap a cotton bandage around my penis head around the frenulum because the wound keeps on rubbing against my testis, its always wet with white raw skin or flesh. anyway there is no bleeding only a slight swelling that is not noticable and a clear discharge on the frenulum wound. Q: is this normal. im using neosporin ointment. Please advice.

    Thought I was alone!

    So I'm 28 and have 2 skin bridges on the right side of my penis. Never knew what it was and I've always been very self conscience about it. This is actually the first time I've looked it up to see what it is. It's a relief to know there are others out there. I was also quite the prude growing up, but after losing my virginity at 18. It took me an hour to orgasim. She told all her friends and, well, it wasn't a bad thing. I was so scared she would notice and still am with every partner. I have a very active sex life now. Which I've slept with close to 30 women. Every time I'm with a partner I'm super unsecure and think they will notice. Only one has ever said anything to me and I felt horible!! Good thing she was my girlfriend, but that didn't ease the humiliation. I guess I need some advise. I'm very interested in the surgery. It only hurts during sex when I first get it in, after that it's all good. It doesn't take me long either unless ive been drinking. I've tried cutting it my self when I was younger but it hurt too much. I even tried tying some dental floss around it and trying to cut off the circulation and have the smaller one separate. But that only lasted 5 min cus it hurt too much. It can also get hard to clean underneith and can get smelly and itchy. I hate it and i feel it really holds back my confidence. I think I want the surgery but I have a few questions...

    How long does it take after surgery to get better and have an active sex life?
    What's the recovery time?
    What kind of doctor do I go see? I've always been so embarrassed that I want to fly outta state to get it fixed. But that was before today when I found out for the first time what it is
