My personal experience.
Return to DiscussionsI always felt the odd guy out growing up and shy about having a foreskin. As an adult I appreciate the joy and beauty of it. I often, still these days, am the only uncircumcised guy at clubs/resorts/beaches. I have to agree it has served as a bit of an "ice breaker" and led to meeting some wonderful fellow nudists (cut and uncut).
It's sad that so many boys have been circumcised for basically NO REASON. My dad was intact and from a young age, I wondered why my penis looked different from his. The older I got, the more I wanted my penis to be covered in skin like his. When I learned about circumcision, I asked my dad why I was cut. He told me that I had hypospadias (pee hole is under my glans) and phimosis. He took me to 3 "specialists" and they all said circumcision was the "only" way I would be able to pee normally. He said having me circumcised was the hardest thing he ever did because he wanted my penis to be natural, like his. MANY years ago I learned about foreskin restoration from a book called "The Joy of Uncircumcising" by Jim Bigelow originally published in 1995). The ONLY reason I started restoring my foreskin was because I wanted my penis to look natural. While I've enjoyed ALL the other benefits of having foreskin (smooth, moist and very sensitive glans), I'm still most excited that my penis is completely covered in skin.
