wow you signed up just to help this dude. i admire the effort.
also err my peanuts worth of help. if your thinking about circumcision now i advise you not to do it. when you are young it's alright but now that you have the ability to erect, wounds may open and your penis might start bleeding all over again. it will take a long time for it to heal. yup.
Thank you tut4nkh4m3n, but actually, to a small extent, I signed up to help this guy, but I've been looking at this forums for a couple of days now and I thought this would be a good oppotunity to join this community.
As for your post, I agree that erections are always a problem especially when there is a wound on your penis. But according to some websites, the pain of having your stitches torn is enough to turn you off and make your erection go down, unless of course, you're someone who advocates S&M.
Also, there are methods to combat erections. For example, I'm sure you're familar with the term, morning glory and night erections. This can be avoided through practises such as urinating before going to bed and sleeping in a fetal position. I've tried this advice while not circumcised yet and I agree that it works for me. Also, another piece of advice is that you do the method in which you pull back the foreskin and use surgical tape to tape it down so that your glans is constantly exposed.
This website tells you how to do it,
http://www.circlist.com/preferences/feelcut.htmlThis method works exceptionally well for me in reducing erections and getting comfortable with having a circumcised penis. Basically, the retracting of the foreskin forces your glans to rub constandly against my underwear, hence it was uncomfortable for the first day (I had lots of erections), and I was walking bull legged as though my penis hurt (which did, a little)
However, on the second day onwards, I gradually became more used to the feeling of my glans rubbing against my underwear. And after a while, my erections became lesser and lesser. Combined with the sleeping position and the urinating advice, I found out that my sleeping erections were almost gone.
actually, i was looking at porn and recently started to discover that those circumsized penises look a lot better, because the gleam of the head's flesh is like more water and rubbery, juicy.......girls see already also lao-nua, compared to a penis whereby the skin covers the head (like non-naked like that).
then, i also realized that lots of un-circumsized guys, their penises' foreskin can stretch back all the way to reveal the head, so it's like they have the best of both worlds : ability to reveal the head and also cover it when needed without going for operation!
actually i got think of going circumcision, but i'm very very scared loh.....sigh.
As for you, I found out about circumcision through a friend who is chinese. When we were in Secondary One, we attended a camp together and when we showered as a group, I noticed that every other guy's penis has a little fold of skin while his was a pinkish rounded tip (He was circumcised at birth). After asking him, he gave me more information on circumcision. That was how I got interested in circumcision.
Also, I decided to pursue being circumcised because I agree with you. A circumcised penis looks way better than a intact (non circumcised) one. There is one point I totally disagree. If you can pull back your foreskin and left out your glans for a few hours, you would notice why. Firstly, a circumcised penis will not have a rubbery and watery glan. This is because the constant exposure to the open air and rubbing against your underwear results in a dry glans which is smooth and powdery to the touch. The rubbery and watery look is probably achieved through lubrication.
My foreskin can be retracted fully, but I still want to and I am going for circumcision because even though my foreskin can be pulled back, it will not stay back! hence, I do not really feel that it's the best of both worlds cause I'd rather my foreskin being retracted all the time.
Since you're intact, I think you'd agree on this, there tends to be a buildup of secretions and other fluids under the foreskin, resulting in a sometimes embarrassing and smelly mess no matter how many times you clean under it. Circumcision gets rid of this problem.
If you're still considering circumcision, don't just refer to
www.circlist.com because I dare say that it leans slightly to advocating circumcision. Otherwise, it is pretty balanced. However, there are also a lot of websites out there that are AGAINST circumcision. It's be best if you had a close friend who has been circumcised to talk to about it cause like my friend, a personal experience is always better compared to websites who are biased.
Sorry for the long post, the site doesn't allow me to post so often, yet.
If you've any more questions and problems, I do not mind looking them up for you and answering them. And you're welcome.
