Girls, are circumcised men a turn off.?

I am in my mid 20's and had to get it recently for phimosis treatment (tight foreskin which caused pain to retract). I wanted to know, how does sex feel different if at all? Do you prefer circ or uncircumcised? I feel devestate as I liked having a foreskin but didn't really have a choice as I had tried everything else, would it be a turn off? cheers

Having a circumcised penis will cause you to grow a slightly thicker layer of skin on your glans in order to cope with day-to-day irritation. This means that it will become less sensitive, and therefore that you will last longer with women. To that degree, I'm sure they would appreciate it. As for preferences regarding aesthetics, it very much depends, but I think that most women wouldn't mind either way - after all, both look the same once erect. In the UK it is much less usual than in, for example, the US, where most men are circumcised, so it's possible your partners won't have come across one before.

I find it icky. But I find penises generally icky.
I think the only issue might be girls who haven't seen one before and get a bit confused or think there's something wrong. Can't see it's more or less preferable aesthetically.

Wait, they look the same once erect?

I have a penis, and was not aware of this. I'm now worried that I'm abnormal...
The issue about girls not seeing a circumcised penis is bull considering everyone watches porn nowadays. And 99% of guys in porn are circumsised.

Also why is this in chat? :s-smilie:
I heared that there is not much diffence for a woman, but its more difficult for a man to mastrubate on hin own,,,,

I'm circumsised but I don't think I can answer properly because I've been circumsised all my life so I wouldn't know what I'm missing so to speak :tongue:

The only way to get a general jist of what it's like is to ask another guy that was also in your position.

Surely by the time she sees it you've sealed the deal as it were?
I wouldn't care :biggrin: A penis is a penis. And I've heard circumcision can sometimes allow men to last for longer, so it's possibly preferable. :colone:

No, I'm not circumcised. I expect the quality of your orgasms will remain the same, it will just take more stimulation to reach that point.

Well, the foreskin's job is to cover the glans when the penis isn't erect. When the penis does become erect, the foreskin retracts, so the only major difference to be seen is when the foreskin would usually be covering the glans, but because of circumcision is not.

are you straight? Yeah, I suppose penis' might be a bit weird to some girls, as are the inside of vaginas, but I suppose its the function that counts, haha

The end may fall off without a foreskin :colone:

They look pretty much the same when erect AND the foreskin is fully retracted.
The foreskin doesn't automatically retract when you get an erection

Sure, they look the same when the foreskin is retracted, but that's not its default state, even when erect.

Yes but the default state's presumably not the state your sexual partner's going to be interested in.

Well, she'll never see it retracted, because that only happens when it's inside her...

Or do I have a weird penis?

Sounds like your foreskin isn't fully retracting. As far as I'm aware, there's usually a flexibility in this. No, I don't think that you have a weird one.

If you want to see what's 'normal' it might be worth doing some online 'reconnaissance'. :colone:

Bi but I don't really think penises or vaginas are attractive at all!
