Conor, 43 - SE England
Where were you born?
Dublin. When did you first become aware of circumcision? I first became aware of circumcision when I was about 13 and saw my cousin's cut dick. I ended up masturbating with my cousin who was 14 at the time. I didn’t really understand circumcision at that time but just remember with envy how much better his penis looked. Being a bit older than me I guess puberty was also a factor as he was more developed than me. We talked about and compared our penises, how we each masturbated and which techniques were best. As we compared our dicks I noticed how exposed his penis looked and thinking how different and much nicer it looked. His glans was more flared and the shaft skin so smooth as his cut was very tight. He was circumcised at birth mainly because his grandfather was a surgeon and recommended the procedure to my uncle and aunt. (His younger brother is also circumcised.) Are any members of your family circumcised?
Yes, my father was circumcised out of routine I think in the 1930s. Although we are catholic and circumcision isn't required for religious reasons my two brothers were circumcised at birth to follow the trend. My two older sisters were subsequently born so I'm the youngest by which time a different doctor delivered me and the subject of circumcision didn’t arise. There was a suggestion of circumcision when I hit puberty and went to secondary school but that never progressed. At what age were you circumcised? I was circumcised in 2020, when I was 42. What is the main reason you were circumcised? Many years ago I tore my frenulum during sex and while it healed up the skin became scarred and over subsequent years I had recurring micro-tears which are really painful during sex (like a paper cut). More recently I had some minor scarring on the foreskin so I decided to take pre-emptive action. In truth I've always liked the look of a circumcised penis and often thought about the procedure so this was the perfect excuse to get on with it. My wife and I discussed the pros and cons of circumcision several times over the years. She was generally supportive because she liked the look of a fully exposed glans penis and how it felt inside her when my foreskin was pulled back. She was worried the circumcision might negatively impact my sexual pleasure but the increasing frequency of micro-tears soon overtook those concerns. |
"In my late teens I slept with a guy who was 21 our of curiosity... I enjoyed the sensation of his flared glans inside me." We talked about different styles of cut and what her preferences were in terms of appearance. Thankfully they were similar to mine - higher and tighter!
Are you happy about being circumcised? Yes, I am very happy with the result. I was cut at The London Circumcision Clinic. They were excellent and I can’t recommend them enough. My cut is fairly tight, about 2cm back from the glans and is nice and tight when erect. It really was a straight forward procedure. I had no pain but of course did have discomfort which I managed by taking things easy for about 10 days and for the first 36 hours with paracetamol as a precaution. However I went out everyday and did most things as normal except physical exercise and of course riding my bike! I had glue along the foreskin incision line but I also had the frenulum removed with some skin tidy-up which required 7 self-dissolving stitches. Most people resume sex after 6-8 weeks but my healing took longer and it was 16 weeks before I could comfortably have intercourse. The first time I had sex post-circumcision was simply amazing. The sensation is so nice all over my penis but especially on my glans which has flared out. I've always loved the sensation of a fully exposed glans when inside the vagina (I used to pull back my foreskin before entering) and now that it has flared out a little more, the sensation is even better. The orgasms are more explosive and I just seem to completely empty myself. My wife loves the look too and the sensation of a hard, fully exposed glans inside her. She prefers it too when sucking me off. Masturbation requires a different technique and I find that using coconut oil gives a lovely sensation as I rub my hand up and down the shaft and over the glans itself. Orgasm is explosive. I am getting used to my new penis having enjoyed a foreskin for all my adult life. I’ve no regrets being circumcised and my wife is really glad too. What is the best and worst thing about being circumcised?
I love the look and sensation and also wax my pubes to complete the look. I've noticed other men in the gym changing room taking a sneaky peak too and must admit to looking around myself. I think circumcised guys notice each other quite easily when naked in these environments as we are still in the minority. I regret that I wasn’t circumcised earlier in life - it would have spared me various medical issues and I see no downside to the procedure despite having a foreskin for the first 42 years of my life. Sex is just as great and the look is more manly. Have you had any memorable conversations about circumcision with mates?
I'm not aware of any of my friends being circumcised and therefore never really had a conversation about it. However my cousin and I did talk about his circumcision in later years. In my late teens I slept with a couple of guys out of curiosity, one of whom was 21 and circumcised very high and tight. His penis looked great and I enjoyed how different it felt to handle and the sensation of his flared glans inside me. I figured if I ever got myself circumcised I would want my penis to look like his, thinking future girlfriends would like it just as much. He enjoyed the sensation of my uncircumcised penis so I guess it was a mutually satisfying encounter! If you had a son would you circumcise him? I have two sons in their mid and late teenage years. I didn't circumcise them at birth as much I would have liked it for them. This has to be their decision. We did talk about it at the onset of puberty in the context of their penis hygiene and related health conditions. I've also shared my recent experience of being circumcised as an adult and why I'm glad it's done. The older boy (19) is now planning to have himself circumcised, encouraged very much by his girlfriend. Now, hit The Showers with Conor and see for yourself. |
