Simon, 55 - Québec
Where were you born?
Montreal, Quebec.
When did you first become aware of circumcision?
I was first aware of circumcision at very young age.
Are any members of your immediate family circumcised?
My two older brothers were circumcised. After my mother had witnessed her two elder sons get circumcised, she found it barbaric and did not want that to happen to me.
At what age were you circumcised?
I was circumcised at the age of 14.
What is the main reason you were circumcised?
I was circumcised because I masturbated and touched myself too much. As a teenager I also had very bad hygiene. I was in Catholic boarding school in the mid-70s and the priests were very attentive on masturbation things. Even though I tried to be very discreet, the supervisors discovered me masturbating several times, including the supervisor of the dormitory.
I didn’t know it at the time, but my spiritual advisor had spoken to my father. One morning in class the counselor came looking for me and told me that I had to go to the doctor with him for an exam. I didn’t know why. It was at the clinic that the doctor told me he had to examine my penis. I was afraid. He played with the foreskin. My glans was dirty and sticky with lots of cheese. He immediately said that there was a problem and that I had to be circumcised and my father had signed the document.
He got me to lie down and injected me. When he started it hurt – he told me that was normal. In fact, I think he did not freeze me enough on purpose. I did not see anything during the procedure and I left with my penis wrapped.
It was two days later, when I returned to the clinic to have the bandages removed, that I saw I had no mucosa left at all and no brake. I was sewn just under the crown of the glans. The first night was difficult. Nocturnal erections were a nightmare – I had them for several nights. I didn’t do any sport for two weeks, but was going to my classes. I was furious with my father and the priests.

"One of the guys had Vaseline and he put it on my dick and stroked it. It was extraordinary!"
Are you happy about being circumcised
In the beginning I was very angry. It was painful. My skin was very tight. They removed my entire mucosa and my fren was cut too, so just getting an erection was uncomfortable. I wasn’t able to masturbate, as I had no skin movement and had lost sensation. But after few weeks, I found it good. I didn’t have to worry about washing my long foreskin; my penis no longer smelled bad and I stopped touching myself as much as I had been before. Before I got cut, my foreskin would always itch and I got so much sensation down there I was obsessed.
What is the best/worst thing about being circumcised?
The best is the aesthetic and the hygiene. I don’t waste time playing with myself and I have become a longer lasting partner. When I was a teenager all the boys were circumcised and at boarding school my mates laughed about my foreskin. In the communal showers I saw that all the guys were like my brothers, with a scar on their penis. They would laugh at my foreskin hanging down so long. So I became ‘normal’ when I was circumcised. These days young guys are never circumcised in Quebec, so it’s become a thing of older guys.
Before I was circumcised I could ejaculate in 30 seconds. Now it can take me up to 40 minutes – I think the doctor may have cut some nerves when he circumcised me. Since I discovered oil and silicone lubricant I use them to masturbate.
Have you had any memorable conversations about circumcision with mates?
Over a year after my circumcision, I still hadn’t worked out how to masturbate my new dick. At that time a few friends told me they could jerk off even though they were cut. I needed to learn so much as I always had a hard on. So, one of the guys had Vaseline and he put it on my dick and stroked it. It was extraordinary! He jerked me off and it took a long time for me to cum, but it was so intense I shot a lot of cum. We did it often after that.
If you had a son, would you circumcise him?
If I had a son he would be circumcised like me, low and tight. But I would wait until he was 12 to prevent him from bad masturbating habits and to learn sooner than I did all the good things about being circumcised. Erections with very tight shaft skin are a very nice feeling. It’s a tight feeling. Every man should be circumcised low and tight.
