Only thing I can think of is dad left mom when she was pregnant with him and he just popped up in their life a day or two before he found out that he was uncircumcised
He put a separate post on this video after reading threads like this one. He said that his father was not around until he was 7. He did not say why. But it would seem that when he was 7, his father started living with them.
As a circumcised male I completely respect your opinion on not wanting to be circumcised. I would really love to see how being uncircumcised affects me so that I can get a real opinion on which I prefer. I think that all men should have the right to choose if they want to be circumcised or not. It is completely unfair for men to be forced by their parents to be circumcised.
You are the only person that has to live with your body for the rest of your life. It’s your body, not your parents. You do not have to let this happen. Do not put yourself in a position of doing something to please somebody else that you may regret long after anybody else has forgotten.
@@luchbernardez1089 i have experienced circumsition and after the prosedure it really hurts for 1 weeks so good luck and before the doctor cut. He sticks three needles on all sides and it hurts and the worst of all i am awake during the operation
Circumcision are mostly a religious edict... especially the Monotheistic religions.// where those parents who forced kids to be circumcised...while still a baby... tue?
100% that is my main point. no one should be able to decide this unless it is for real medical reason. Should be left up to the person that the penis is attached to.
I'm sorry no one ever taught you how to care for yourself before your surgery. Thank you so much for sharing your story. So many people need to hear it.
Oh but his Dr. repeatedly gave him proper hygienic instruction on multiple occasions. And told him to stop masturbating until his penis had healed. He made a person choice to disregard those instructions GO BACK AND WATCH THE VIDEO AGAIN. IF YOU DOUBT WHAT I SAY.
I don't know man. I would think that washing properly is not something that someone has to tell you or show you how to do other than when you are a child. If you smell anywhere it's a sign you need to do a better job of cleaning that area. I understand that was difficult for him due to his phimosis, which makes it all the more obvious why he needed to get circumcized.
Believe it or not, but in the USA a lot of doctors don't have the faintest clue on how the penis works. They even tell young boys to forcibly retract the foreskin instead of "only clean what is seen" like the rest of the world.
@testtest-fn7sk 05:20 he admits that the Dr. gave him creams and a cleansing routine... but I couldn't stop masturbating to let it heal. (this guy had done entire videos about his Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.) He made a conscious decision to not follow the Dr.s' instructions to heal the chronic infection he had now self imposed. The only was to cure him was to do a circumcision, because he himself realized he could not stop masturbating long enough to heal the recurring infection. (I guarantee you, until your circumcision is fully healed, you will not masturbate. too painful. Per his own words, the Dr went over the advantages and disadvantages of surg. and HE a Man of the age of Majority decided to sign his name on the dotted line after intensely googling it....so he was an informed consumer/Patient and now he is blaming the Doctor for buyer's remorse. Sometimes, I wonder how many foolish people there are in the world until ones like him and yourself come along to reaffirm my thoughts.
Congrats for talking this so openly on youtube and telling your experience for others to know. This is a very important topic that sadly is not taught to us when little boys. In my case I discovered my self and did my own exercises around 13 y.o. and investigated on my own, nobody told me what to do. Now I'm glad I never had the procedure. Thank you for sharing man!
I am not circumcised and decided that my son should not be circumcised. Your a brave young man discussing this subject on YT. That fact shows you are more of a man than you might think .... all credit to you. This should be discussed if not at home then during sexual education at school. Well done young man for your bravery to discuss this subject (men's business).
I DON'T REGRET GOT CIRCUMCISED AT ALL MY TWICE SONS PLEASE I MADE THAT DECISION FOR THEM. HOW DID KNOW....? SIMPLE THEY DISCUSSED WITH ME FOR HOURS MANY TIMES. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉. 1-ALWAYS EXTREMELY. CLEAN ( DON'T SAY SHOULDN'T GET SHOWER). 2-NCIRCUMCISED ALWAYS SMELLS, CLEANING CONSTANTLY EACH TIME YOU GO TO..... 3-MOST OF GF,FRIENDS LACK OF HYGIENE ( UNCIRCUMCISED). 4- I NEVER HAD ANY SORROW AFTE I HAD SORROW. 5 - MY DAUGHTER SAID CANNOT STAND UNCIRCUMCISED GROUP FOR LACK OF HYGIENE. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
if your into sensitive doing some s*xual stuff, then dont circumcised BUT MAKE SURE YOU CLEAN IT THROUGHLY cause its disgusting medically speaking if you dont.. if your into hygiene on-the-go, then getting into circumcision is a better since its fully expose and easily be cleaned(without the effort).. if your concern is additional sensitivity, then we have lubricants, gels, lotions, water, all that stuff.. its accessible. So for people discouraging about not-to-get circumcision because of Fcking RELIGION thing, GTH!.. Religion should not be a basis of one's decision
There's teaching...and then there's watching your 7 year old son pee (weird), somehow not know he wasn't circumcised (how tf can a father not know that), and grabbing his dick and starting to mess around with it to "teach" him something. What the actual F. I knew everything I needed to know before I slept with someone at 14, and somehow my parents magically achieved that without touching my Fcking dick. How are more people not pointing out how weird his dad is
You're the man !! Almost no one has the guts to say the things you said! You didn't care about being embarrassed you just wanted to enlighten others! Hats off to you for that man !! 🙏🙏 Subscribed right away!
You guys do know that you can get your foreskin back after you are circumscised. My neighbor had problems with his foreskin so some doctors advised him to get cut. After two years of being cut he hated being cut. A friend of his told him what to do. After about a year he got his foreskin back.
For anyone that says there is no difference in sensation.... Its literally SIMPLE MATH. If you have one WHOLE something and you take away X amount of it, you will ALWAYS have LESS of the item in question. It will never be equal or more.. This applies to nerve endings as well.
Sensation goes away in the part you take off, obviously, but other areas then become more sensitive due to new exposure. A lot of men claim that it feels 'too sensitive' after procedure, and thus learn to adapt to their new sensations in time.
as an uncircumcised had an experiment. opened the end for a month and left it like this. it was a nightmare to walk like this. cloth painfully rubs the most sensitive part. it gets scratched, red as if inflammation is on its way. eventually sensitivity decreased so much that the sensations during coitus were so low and limited that it became no near to what i used to experience. way more difficult to enjoy. after completion of the experiment the sensitivity was recovering very long time. i ll never wish to go through this and willingfully reduce my sensitivity, especially by circumcision. and for what? foreskin does not bother, why would i? it protects the most sensitive part. i have water and soap, i live in a civilized country, not in a desert. there was no difference in hygiene before and during experiment. you anyway should wash it, right. so what's the difference whether you have foreskin or not. just go and wash it. pull skin back and wash. no problem. to wash ass nobody cuts buttocks, right, just because they make it more difficult to wash sphincter. to see with eyes nobody cuts their eylids, right. you just open them and see. also, if back to the topic of pleasure. if a couple wants to bring pleasure to each other, foreskins of clitoris or penis only help with it. who would prefer direct rubbing of the most sensitive parts open and by harsh skin of hands compared to gentle careful foreskin movement if there is a special protection for them - foreskin. no lubricant needed. all parts are involved. no harm expected. you can procede even for the whole night. and also in individual process. isn't it going with just skin movement up and down? and how to move it along the very end if someone came and cut the skin for this part? why should one avoid the most sensitive part if it's designed for the biggest sensation. then why didn't we completely remove the ability to move any bit of skin there to leave only one possible option - to rub along surface. let's remove the whole lot. why partially. it's only mutilation, telling you. absolutely pointless, cruel and barbaric. why do this if there's no medical need for. mutation when really doctor says circumcision is the only option. then fine. folks, big pharma in your countries simply makes money on your babies. nothing more. in the most barbaric way. and your letting them. we don't need this in my country and we re completely fine with this. not a native english speaking one.
This is the first time I have heard of you and actually came across your videos by accident. You should be commended for being so open and honest. You have helped many young guys dealing with the same issues.
Jewish doctors with strong personal opinions advising naive young parents to go though with surgery.. Wrong, Wrong, so wrong. Parents have No right at all to implement such surgery on a tiny human being literally days old. Best is to wait until the boy reaches the age of at least 18. Until then from at least the start of puberty both parents should show the child how to take care of personal hygiene & how to avoid a build up of smegma ( cock cheese),sorry, by washing the area, drying it & applying baby oil. If Phimosis is detected the skin can be dilated with medical procedures.
@@KevinFuentes-n8e Then just pull the skin back problem solved. Can you see this viewpoint has been engineered to the woman by those who make millions cutting babies. The most of the world is like you. Dont let them bully you you are the normal...natural one. Weird world where normal is made abnormal. 🤔 Das 😎 all.
@@KevinFuentes-n8ebased on your language I’m assuming you’re young. I’m in my 20s and let me say, no woman has mentioned me being uncut since I was like 16. They don’t care once they grow up lol, it’s like how grown men don’t comment on women having big labia but teenagers might make stupid comments. I’m also in the U.S., so it’s not like I’m in the majority by being uncut. I’m sure for a lot of the women I’ve slept with I was the only uncut guy they’ve seen.
Yeah seriously this must have been hard to talk about. I think it needs to be talked about more. I don't have a son but if I did it would have been a huge argument because I don't believe in circumcision unless the person is grown and chooses it themselves. What a grown adult wants to do with their own body is their choice!
@@purpledodecahedron7169 imma be getting mines soon I cant wait. No more rejection from girls no more infections. My older brother had his done years ago
Guys, regarding the “how could my dad not know I was circumcised” question. He is not my stepdad and he is actually my biological dad. I’m not sure if my dad was present at my birth but he moved in with me, my mom, and sister when I was 7 so he didn’t live us for 7 years.
And tell me, apart from Aryan, how many are really circumcised? Probably only a handful. And of those, they are mainly Muslim Turks or others who practice it for religious reasons. Rolf!
@@rolfy328 A completely ridiculous argument. Watching this unnecessary cosmetic survey being do to a newborn is horrific! The harm it does lasts a lifetime! I know they did it to me. My mother said its in the Bible. Yah🤔...there are alot of things in the Bible I certainly would not do to a child. However 🤔 with enough marketing people will be-"LIE"-ve Anything you tell them! Das 😎 all!
As a kid I felt uncomfortable about being uncircumcised because most other guys were. But then I saw the statue of David and felt much better that I shared something in common with that wonderful work of art lol now I think what’s natural is what’s best and I would never change it to fit in to whoever’s “ideals”
I was circumcised late, for a kid, around 4 or 5. Sucks a little worse because I was conscious while they were preparing me. I remember the whole drive, pulling into the lot, getting set down and wondering what was going on. What I don't remember is what it looked or felt like after the surgery. When I bring it up to my Mom and express my resentment, she says I had to get it because I had an infection. Probably because no one in our culture ever deals with cleaning it, since its chopped right away. So the doctor, of course, recommends circumcision. Only thing I lucked out on is that I got it in a first world country and was put under. They told me that they were planning to have it done in our country of heritage, where the ceremony is done in public, no anesthesia. and very traumatizing. All in all, though, I'm 100% against it. Vile, outdated practice that should only be the last resort with medical issues.
Well, women get infections too, so your mom's logic is really dumb. We don't cut off our labia when we get a yeast infection. Yeast infections are very common you can get them easily by being sweaty from running track.
I often hear that American doctors treat any kind of infection with a circumcision instead of, oh, I don't know, what the rest of the world uses: ANTIBIOTICS for crying out loud.
Same experience for me. I was circumcised at 9. I remeber everything. Surgery before and after. Wish they never did it. My mom says i had a problem. I dont remember that. I do remember being told to how to clean it and take care of it. And that it had a different color and texture.
Excellent, intelligent, and honest discussion that needs to be expressed in our repressed society. When I was born, my mother's doctor was Italian, and when she asked him if she should circumsize me he urged her not to. He said, signora, it's a silly and unnecessary American practice. I thankfully am intact, and have no issue retracting my foreskin. If I don't wash my toes, they will smell. I don't think it would be wise, however, to have them cut off.
@@bjpbuildingconstruction FYI, Ameria is non existent when circumcision was being done. Just saying... why did the Ilaian thought is was American way... just saying
Circumcision is not a big deal. It has a lot of benefits to it. Example, circumcision makes it easier to clean down there and keep it clean. Circumcision prevents diseases and infections. Circumcision does not affect male sexual pleasure since males don't even have that much sexual pleasure to begin with. Females have a lot more sexual pleasure than males do. A female's orgasm is 10 times strong as a male's is. Females have far more nerve receptors on her body and clitoris. She feels more sensitivity than males do as a whole. Females can keep orgasming endlessly. Males orgasms are shorter than females. Females produce and release more oxytocin than males do and oxytocin increases intensity of orgasms. Estrogen is a precursor to oxytocin. The more estrogen your body has, the more you release oxytocin and reap its benefits the more intense the orgasms are. A female under MRI during an orgasms show trance like brain while males do not show that intensity and their orgasms a quick while females orgasms are very long. Females vocalize and squirm and make pleasurable faces involuntarily due to extreme intense pleasure. It’s very clear females experience orgasms far more intensely than male do. This is a known, scientific biological fact. Female orgasms are known to feel better and more intense than male orgasms. Do your research, females vagina has more nerve endings than the male penis. The female clit alone has 10,000 nerve endings (or more) compared to 4,000 nerve endings in the male glans and foreskin. Women literally feel 2x the pleasure and sensation than men do. It’s a fact, do your research google is free. Also women don’t give up on the sex, it’s the men that do but everyone’s experience is different. Women can even experience orgasm multiple times whereas men it’s usually just once which seems boring and not pleasurable at all. Here's a quote from actress Lizzy Caplan: "The female body is far better equipped for sex than the male body. Women can have multiple orgaasms: men cannot. They're actually the sexual athletes, not the men."
In my country, the air is incredibly nasty, water is nasty, even the environment is nasty, I had a cousin that argued with his parents to not be circumcised, and when he was 15, his glans and foreskin got a infection. Since I am circumcised, it has been really useful in my countries terrible conditions. But if they are doing It, even the environment is completely safe, or if the penis has 0% infection, I'm against.
yeah medical journals are lying you don't need to do it as a prophylactic "Balanoposthitis is common. It may affect between 12% and 20% of uncircumcised children, adult males and people assigned male at birth. Children most often have balanoposthitis between the ages of 2 and 5. About 35% of adults who have diabetes have balanoposthitis"
You are a very wise man, I appreciate you courage and honor for passing on this valuable lesson especially for those who are not guided by informed parents
Thanks for this. Our son was born in 1976. My husband is circumcised but he respected my wish to not cut off part of our baby for no good reason. I had a harder time with hospital staff who kept wanting to cut him. Our son remains fine with my decision. Although a majority of American baby boys are still circumcised, a lot fewer are circumcised now than was true when my boy was born.
It's horrible when hospital staff with no relation the the baby child, wants to cut off an important part of the male body in the most private area of the male body without medical reasons, but with lifelong negative consequences for that male human being.
Unfortunately hospitals in the US, at least, have a financial incentive to perform circumcisions, or, without the medical euphemism, routine genital cutting, because for what is a relatively quick procedure for the doctor, they can make a tidy profit, not only for charging you/your insurer for amputating the foreskin, but also then selling the amputated flesh off to companies like those that develop skin creams for an additional profit on top of that, which the owner of the foreskin never even gets compensated for. That's not even mentioning the medical practitioners that might be religiously and/or culturally biased toward it.
Young man, I don’t often leave messages but I feel I should tell you how wonderful it is that you got on film and opened up to other men wether old or young and very openly and detailed. I applaud you for so unselfishly sharing your story, you just might help hundreds if not more. God bless you🙏🏻. I pray you continue to feel well and have a complete and satisfying sex life🙏🏻.
I agree! I have never left any message but … I couldn’t just stay quiet ❤ So amazed by your maturity and courage to talk about this. Only shows how amazing you are for helping other young men ❤
@@8anewbeginning160 Well it wasn't sexual for the father, but just general ignorance. He wouldn't have known that it's naturally attached until 8 or 9 years of age. No education for the guys about looking after the genitals from when they need to.
@@Mcfreddo The father had no reason or right to interfere with his son's penis, regardless of how ignorant he might have been at the time. It's basic common sense that a grown man shouldn't mess with some else's genitals.
I'm trying to understand how his Dad didn't know he was uncircumcised. I also think it is weird that his Dad pulled his foreskin back at that age. IDK...that's just weird to me.
Its Man things dude , and its his son too bad for the dads inexperience if he would of told him to stretch it more often he wouldn't have had any problems with it . I too had phismosis and had a circumsision at 22 been about 3-4 months now sex is great i finnally feel confident in myself as well
I think father and son should be this close at that age…it’s after 12 that I think dad should let his son grow up. Being this close with ur dad before 12 makes the boy comfortable with his masculinity
This must be one of those weird U.S. gymnophobia things. Parents and children never being around each other naked in the home or never even seeing each other naked. Or a father not even knowing whether or not his son is circumcised ?!
Interesting to hear your experience. I am a woman, psychiatrist, psychotherapist and sex counselor. I have lived ( 60 years) in a culture in Northern Europe where circumcision is very rare and only the Jewish and Muslims are practicing it. I am _very sorry_ so many boys grow up without proper guidance from adults and are treated by uneducated doctors. It is totally possible to keep male genitals clean and healthy au naturel. Meeting a circumcised man (American, of course), I just could not understand why he had to give away a fun part of himself as a baby. Have you guys ever thought how many doctors make their daily bread like that? Many people here in my medical community think it is a form of child abuse to remove a healthy foreskin. Phimosis can be treated surgically without removing the foreskin. It is much more safe to prevent STDs by using condoms than removing the foreskin. I can think of only two instances I would have had it done to my son: 1. Paraphimosis means that when the foreskin is tight it can get stuck behind the glans. If no conservative treatment (lidocaine gel, lubricants etc) is successful the foreskin must go to save the penis. 2. There are skin conditions (scleroderma) that can alter the skin structure so much it causes trouble. 3.At old age, there can be tumors that need to be removed. Condylomas can be prevented by other means than circumcision. 4. Accidental traumas 5. If there is serious malformations of the anal region or loss of skin due to burns, the foreskin can be used as a skin graft. You made a good point by saying it does not feel natural when the foreskin is no longer there and you give good advice to your fellow men. Do your research, everybody, and when in trouble, I hope you can find an experienced doctor who can inform you well so you can decide what to do.
He didn't "give away a fun part of himself as a baby". Most circumcised men have a lot of carefree fun just the same.. and with giving oral, many have no taste for smegma. Maybe you do.
I have a friend who's natural foreskin is so short no one might have ever known he was uncircumcised. So a lot of guys aren't just cut or not cut. A certain percentage of boys have your exact situation in their teen years. I have always imagined that it is a very painful few weeks of recovery and even longer to adapt. Thanks for letting other young men who may have the same issues. This will help them to make their own best choices or adaptations.
Your Dad, (who didn't know you were intact?), should never have yanked your foreskin back. He may have caused your problems. The biggest cause of foreskin issues is premature retraction, usually done by care takers. The foreskin is fused to the head of the penis at birth, and gradually becomes free to retract on its own. The foreskin should be allowed to retract naturally when ready, and not forced. Sometimes retraction may not happen until teen years. Phimosis in adults can be dealt with using much less intrusive remedies without circumcision.
I thought the same thing when he said that. I was like "damn, why the hell would he do that??" I don't even understand the purpose or thought process behind that action.
Well spoken! I am uncut, and have never had any issues with my intact penis. I didn't circumcise my children, and they have done very well. If they want to have this completely unneccessary surgery, then that will be THIER decision, not mine. I have found that typically, it is the women who are making the decision to have the baby circumcised. They give the most idiotic reasons why they want the baby cut. They say things like "it is a tradition in our family", or "it looks better cut", or "it's more hygenic". I am just amazed that they give such unbelievable answers! Oh, and by the way, I am NOT including religious reasons in my answer here.
@@yaassss5531 There are Jewish parents now who leave it up to their children to make the decision when they reach adulthood although I suspect there is a certain pressure then to have it done.
My uncut uncle joined the Navy right out of high school in 1950, and and spent a LOT of time in the sea near Japan. He was FORCED to get 'cut' (along with all his fellow uncut shipmates) by his commanding officer - since it was felt that when the guys got 'shore leave', they'd all go visit prostitutes, and that uncut guys were more likely to contract an STD. I've read the foreskin contains thousands of VERY sensitive nerves, and it protects the HEAD of the penis from the rubbing of the diaper, underwear, etc. - keeping 'it' ALSO very SENSITIVE. My uncle was 20 years older than me, and he told me that allowing them to do that surgery was one of the worst mistakes he ever made in his life, since masturbation was NEVER as pleasurable after he was 'cut', and since he WAS gay, there never WAS any chance he was ever going to go into any 'whorehouses' in Japan anyway LOL By the way, I'm uncut myself, one of only three out of about 35 in my phys-ed class (we still had the gang showers - post gym class in the '60's) and my Dad was uncut also, and my parents taught me from a VERY EARLY AGE how to properly BATHE - EVERYTHING, including retracting my foreskin and washing 'it and the head' WELL with soap and water and MAKING certain to flush ALL the soap residue before getting out of the tub. Instead of getting cut, I believe your doctor COULD have done a minor surgery, and made a few SMALL cuts 'into just the opening edge of your foreskin', allowing it TO 'fully retract painlessly', and yet STILL letting you RETAIN the coverage and PLEASURE OF the FORESKIN you were born with - and MEANT TO HAVE !!!.
@@rodgercommotes3896 I would have spent my time in the Brigg rather than have had cosmetic destructive surgery on my private parts!

Great vid. I have a dad who is Mexican and was not circumcised. Me and my brothers were born here in the states and they just took it upon themselves to circumcise all of us. I would never have done this. This is something I said over and over. I never had the CHOICE. I really feel those doctors did us a disservice. Everything you said about being circumcised is true. It is rougher in texture and requires a ton more stimulation.
I agree with you, I was circumcised as a child and I absolutely hate that the choice was taken from me. I would have NEVER done it, it was a complete violation by doctors to do this to so many baby boys. I am really hoping Foregen will be successful soon and can regenerate the foreskin using stem cells.
Should be able to sue doctor for Sexual assault on a minor, physical harm buy cutting foreskin off, torcher no anicetic often damaging the knob and willing cause physical pain without persons consent mate.
Jose, I practiced for 30+ yrs. I was a Med. Missionary to 3 Latin Countries. You would not believe the high rate of infections from the uncircumcised Latino Population. Very few uncircumcised males actually know how to properly clean under their foreskin. The SMELL is nauseating to those around them. They themselves grow used to the smell and tend to think it is normal. In my career I have placed well over a thousand urinary catheters in Men here in the US. so it is not a cultural thing with Latinos only. Before placing the catheter one must pull back the foreskin cleanse the penis, retracted foreskin, penis head and opening as well and the scrotum. Otherwise risk internal infections. I seldom found intact men (from every walk of life) who had proper penis hygiene. Most had a build up of Smegma (oils, dead skin cells, sebaceous secretions, and old sperm and urine marinating in the warm environment under the moist foreskin.). First of all much of what you presented is not correct. At least one Parent must sign a legal consent for a boy to have a circ at birth or anytime before age 18. The Hospital, nor the Dr. can perform the circ. without it. The legal term is ASSAULT. You are highly misinformed when you say "they just do it without asking." As proof of this you yourself signed such a consent before your Surg. at 19 yrs. If you did not read what you were signing before surg. that is on you legally. You had a very serious case of Phimosis (Fi-moe-sis) with redundant infections and irretractable foreskin. It is easy to say that now you would just have properly cleaned under your foreskin instead of the Circ. You were repeatedly given proper instructions and by your own words you just decided to stop following the Dr.'s advice and instructions and ended up having repeated infections and strangulation. Some men have actually strangulated the end of their penis to the point it has to be removed. That is what happens when the foreskin retracts partially when the penis is in a softened state. An Erection happens and the constricted end of the phimotic foreskin acts like a hangman's noose trapping the end of the penis without a proper blood supply. That is an emergency situation and the usual treatment is to gently cut a line in the end of the foreskin until the band of tissue permits restoration of the vital blood supply that has been cut off. To not have had a circumcision in your case would have been bad medical advice since you had already proven that you would not properly care for your penis and could not stop masturbating to allow proper healing. So, what do you do now... you blame the surgeon for your lack of character to have provided proper hygiene that would have temporarily taken care of the Phimosis. In your case, your Med. History clearly shows that this was already a recurring problem (even if you had proper hygiene instruction... you failed to provide the needed care. As a physician the only medically sound advice in your situation was given to you and now you have buyer's remorse (that prevented future danger to you penis) and you want to strike out at the Dr. for providing sound and medically correct information to you and left the final decision up to YOU!! Those are the real facts, proven from nearly 4,000 years of the practice of Circumcision that became widely used at first in the Jewish Community when God made a covenant with Father Abraham to circumcise male babies on the 8th day after birth. I am not Jewish by the way and Muslims as descendants of Abraham through Ishmael have also practiced circ. in the same time period. I have been called to the ICU when nurses have pulled back a phimotic foreskin to bath unconscious men and the penis turned blue and cold. I was always successful in returning the foreskin back over the head of the penis, BUT THAT IS NOT ALWAYS POSSIBLE. I now expect to hear from non-medical personnel with a myriad of non-physiologic reasons why I am wrong. I AM NOT WRONG. So if you choose to argue the Medical Facts you had better have an MD after you name and personally have dealt with Phimotic Patients in a clinical medical setting. Read the Published facts directly from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) if you do not believe me. They have compiled the latest Medical Facts and published a position paper. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20938437/ Here is the video regarding the ShangRing circumcision device. th-cam.com/video/dzvJik_qt1g/w-d-xo.html
I am a first time mother to a beautiful baby boy. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and feelings on this. My boy will stay fully intact until he decides that for himself, it's his body and it's not my choice. I want him to know that I respect his bodily autonomy and that it's his body and his choice!
Most people that grow up uncircumcised will stay that way unless there is a medical need to do it. I understand it is quite painful as you heal for a week or two and that scares people considering it. If it isn't so tight that it chokes the penis and the boy learns to keep it properly clean he will probably live his entire life that way. I have known two people who had it done late in life due to it being too tight.
When parents don't have it done, It's not really an "option" for later in life. It's only done later in life if it's absolutely needed for medical reasons (like for this guy), because the scars are bad, chafing problems, and the pain and embarrassment, so doing it young is the best option It grows nicer being done before puberty with minimal scaring. It's a parents choice but I'd definitely choose to do it, I'm gay and know both types intimately, one is very clean and resists disease, the other is funky, dirty, and dangerous even if you keep it clean it's a love nest for bacteria, there's a reason the military used to enforce it. I think its a silly choice to keep it however its a free society and you get to decide.
@@brad9529 my dear, that's your opinion and what you got inside your head because of what you've been told and I'm sorry but it's not so bad to keep it, first because it's what nature gave you and nature is wise and there's a reason why it is there, and second it's not a nest for bacteria, you're expose down there to many things even though if you don't have it because it's a protection for your penis. If you keep it clean there's no problem (don't believe everything you hear). It must be an option for any men because it's his body.
Thanks for bringing up an important part of a male's birth. My birth physician told my mother that nature put a foreskin over the penis glans for protection and enhanced sensitivity. Which is the same thing that I learned during my studies at college. I'm a Professor of Research Microbiology so I know what can live under the foreskin of the penis. We Americans earnestly started circumcisions in the 20th century - a bad idea. I never had a problem with Phimosis, but a regimented administration of a particular cream (which has to be recommended by your physician) will loosen your foreskin and allow retraction for proper cleaning and sexual activity. My personal preference is to have my foreskin and not feel pressured by anybody for any reason.
Good thing your mother listened to the physician. Take it from me who got a circumcision in my 40s…..DON’T DO IT!!! I wish I could go back in time and not get that procedure. 😢
Hi Gary. I'm intrigued. I've never seen any American Caucasian men with foreskins, in the locker room. Especially a handsome man like you. Thanks for being honest.
@@aleksa1098it’s some kind of steroid cream,but it didn’t work for me at all,had to get cut,honestly don’t regret it,no more itching,a smell that would make flies run in fear,and uncomfortable tightness!
Hi, European point of view here. As a Belgian, it seems we're much more open disussing sexual health issues with our sons, although I'll have to atmit that there's a part of the dads, that leaves this up to the mams to discuss. On to some facts, In Belgium, the doctors are more hesitating performing a full circumsion, in stead, they use the "Z- incision" more often. With a z-incision, you don't need to remove the whole foreskin, but you make a "z" shape cut in it, so you're foreskin has more room going over the head of the penis. It's in most cases a perfectly fine solution for boys or men, who've been suffering from phimosis. Kind regards, and thank you for informing men about there sexual health, it's necessary.
Thank you for this most frank and candid discussion. I have a son who is in his late teens. His mother and I did not have him circumcised; thinking that if he wanted it done as an adult, the decision is his. I also believe a boys regular bathing should include cleaning their ears, underarms, butt, feet and under the foreskin along with the rest of their body. It should be a natural part of regular bathing. Also, here in America, we tend to circumcise "just because". I don't believe my father was cut (I accidentally saw him when he was being bathed just before he died), but I was cut. I wish I had not been; which made me decide to not mutilate my son. Yes, there are times when it is necessary but I think generally, boys should be left intact.
@@hanoitripper1809 circumcision is very common in english speaking countries. i know many circumcised british men. i am not certain about men from younger generations, but with men from older generations many were circumcised at birth, very often as boys, and as men.
@@bigcubistman really? I played amatuer club rugby in London for a year and everyone in my team was natural and unmutilated besides the American guy on the team
Good video man. I feel like people try to shame this kind of conversations but its nothing to be ashamed about . It should be normal to talk this stuff.
I'm uncircumcised, since I was 14 I've been cleaning it well by rinsing it everyday, never had any infections or issues. Skin is natural lubrication and I would never remove my skin.
@@rjjr.1071 That sounds more like a dorsal slit than a circumcision. Circumcision is the removal of the foreskin. I was circumcised as an infant, and they removed all of the foreskin (except for a small portion that has now become part of the shaft). This is typical of a circumcision.
Dude, props for being so open and honest. If more people were willing to share like this a lot of people would be helped because they would see that someone else has gone thru what they're going thru the that person's experience can help them get thru it. Good on you!

Dude... I cringed thru this. BUT you display a confidence and courage in sharing and hopefully you hear from others that this has helped. Emphasis is that when thinking of doing something of permeance in altering your body, get 2nd and 3rd opinions! Your doctor should be comfortable with you asking for that and even should offer recommendations. The goal is to help empower you with knowledge to make the choice that you feel is best for you. Kudos to this guy for sharing his story!
True. But I got my circumcision cause I always wondered what it was like to be circumcised since most of my friends were & how sex would feel. Honestly it actually improved sex for me & my girlfriend. But ik it can be different for others. But I don't regret having it done at all. Wish it was done when I was a baby
My friend got married to a Sudanese man and he tried to convince her that the child needed to be circumcised. But a miracle happened and she prevailed and the boy remained intact. Sudanese, Nigerians and Ghanaiens are hardcore in Circumcising their children

I compliment the young man’s courage and honesty in discussing in detail subjects most men of any age, especially younger men, would hide under the bed to avoid discussing! You’re amazing! Thank you very much.
An honest and courageous account of a very personal, yet human, experience. Why take away what is a natural part of the male anatomy? He is right, it is there for a reason. Thank you very much Ozzy for speaking about this.
I find it so unfortunate that foreskin has been so targeted as something to even pay attention to. Even though being circumcised is fine, when it comes down to it, it’s just genital mutilation. I used to think foreskin was gross but then when I realized I was totally being conditioned by society, my whole perspective changed and now I see it as something normal, purposeful, beautiful. There is nothing unclean or alien about it. Taking care of it is like washing your armpits or brushing your teeth. Society needs to consider itself so people stop believing in totally false concerns that have nothing to do with science and biology. Our issues with foreskin come from long cultural and religious lineages that are irrelevant to today’s consciousness.
Spoken like an uncircumcised male and there is nothing irrelevant about CULTURE, dear, unless you’re a cave-dwelling hermit. You also forgot two other important factors: Preference and Aesthetic. Some people just prefer to be circumcised because it is just more visually and hygienically pleasing to them and their partners. To each his own.
I don't think it is healthy if it is so tight that it won't retract and I have heard it can be painful when it won't. That would also make it difficult to keep clean if it is that tight as he explained.
@@heatherwaldorf Yes, an uncircumcised pinus is rather crude and untailored. Certainly nothing attractive about it...not to mention a breeding ground for bacteria and nasty other things. The same thing happens to an uncircumcised make as does a woman who does not maintain her virgina. Can you even imagine that? But on males access to the closed area is sometimes not even attainable. Ozzy went to great lengths to define the disgusting situation he had to deal with. I have never heard of a male who was tailored ever wishing he hadn't been circumcised. Personally, I thank god my parents thought enough to make sure I never had to deal with all the negative aspects of dealing with all of that. 4 boys and my Mother would have NEVER allowed us to go un-tailored down there. I've never met a woman who "prefered" an untrimmed pinus over a circumcised one. She always said it was worth it if for nothing else...cosmetic reasons alone.
As a mother I couldn't do that to my son. I always felt it was his decision to change his body not mine. Thank you for this video, your honesty and courage to speak about this. I appreciate this discussion. Thank you !!
Circumcision is a procedure to promote better hygiene and lower risk of genital health complications. It isnt done just for sexual purposes or body modification. Unlike hormonal swap or SRS
He's right when he said that even doctors can get it wrong and that they don't all think the same. Thats why its always good to get perspectives. This was pretty educational actually
Especially with the nature of the procedure. Because most surgeries happen at birth there isn't much good data to compare personal experience before and after. The CDC says all these good things in their abstracts but the data doesn't seem to lead to their conclusion. It should be a choice and not compulsory or forced on kids.
@@NickDe3 Yes a choice of the units owner! Meaning the child should decide! Not the parents...a social custom based on fallacies is a poor reason to disfigure a child for life! Das 😎 all! 👍
I was not circumcised and neither are my two boys. My wife asked me right after each were born if it was ok to have it done. She insisted that it was cleaner and looked better. All because that is what her best friend told her. I told her that is not out decision to make. If the boys want to get it done when they are older that will be their choice. They are now 20 and 18, both have asked me why I didn’t have them circumcised. I told them I didn’t want ti make that permanent decision for them. They were actually both happy I made that decision. To this day they have chosen not to get it done.
Thank you for being brave enough to share your story with everyone here. You’re helping spread the facts about this crime against humanity to those innocent infants who don’t actually have a voice to decide. I commend you for your honesty for the masses to take in and take to heart.
Idk How This is A Crime Since In Me i Didn't even cry being circumsized at a young Aged I Don't really have beef on uncircumcised people but being circumsized can be more cleaner and avoid high risk of aids
This should be watched by all men of any age where they can take it as far as the medical complications, and that masturbation not only healthy, but not a sin.
I'm Christian and never considered masturbation as a sin, it doesn't even say so in the Bible either. I believe it's a way of relieving stress and frustration for both sexes. Only if it becomes addicting then it's a problem. @@GM8101PHX
As someone who also was circumsized at 19 after leaving home for college, I can understand your experience. Thanks for sharing. I'm sure there are others who will benefit from this knowledge.
I was circumcised at birth and will always wonder what its like to be intact. When I was a teen and in my 20s, I was quite "sensitive" so I never really thought I was missing anything. But what's done's done, can't be undone. I personally think its barbaric and abusive to boys. It's mutilation in fact IMO.
That is exactly what it is! If you understand our history in this country and why we do it as commonplace as we do, you would never allow anyone you live with to be subjected to it.
I wish I was circumcised. Thess foreskin are a pain to maintain, they scare girls, and they make the thought of finally getting circumcised daunting because the head is so sensitive with a foreskin, it's hard to imagine living comfortably without one.
Honest video. I have 3 friends who were circumcised as adults and all three regret their decision. They did it due to pressure from their female partners and doctors even though they there was no medical indication. They were told that sex would be better and that there would be no affect on sensitivity. Three diffferent doctors lied to them....why am I not suprised. When it comes to USA healthcare you have to be your advocate and "let the buyer beware". There have been two occassions in my life where a doctor just about killed me with misdignosis and with drug interactions. I have NO trust for USA healthcare and you shouldn't either. RESEARCH everything that a doctor tells you before committing to following through with their recommendations. It could be worse then just loosing your foreskin.
@@otavioohlweiler8098 75% of the nerve endings are gone. My frenulum was eviscerated. I don’t feel shit now that I’ve been exposed for 43 years. It’s more than 50%. It’s both male G-spots the frenulum and the ridged band.
@@nextlevelintactivism8195 you should restore. My issue is I can't believe someone who is uncut wouldn't realize the irritation caused by not having a protective cover or if they masterbate there is no movable skin? Do you believe you'll adapt to it over time and adjust? makes no sense
Those female partners you talk about are the reason why I am glad that I am gay. Although many straight boys and men around me have been somewhat homophobic, I still feel pity for them. They simply don't deserve such partners in their sexual and romantic relations, who are apathetic almost in absolute level towards anything male or masculine.
As an intact man I have never had a problem retracting my foreskin and accordingly keeping good hygiene. A very small percentage of men have problems in this regard. At least you are an adult and you made the decision for yourself, albeit it the wrong one unfortunately. However, no one has the right to violate and mutilate a child's body so; it is against their human rights and is paramount to child abuse.
"However, no one has the right to violate and mutilate a child's body so; it is against their human rights and is tantamount to child abuse." That's interesting, because the Australian Human Rights Commission defends genital integrity rights for female and intersex children, but will not do so if the child is born male. Just ask the National Children's Commissioner, at the AHRC, Anne Hollonds; or the Human Rights Commissioner, Edward Santow; or the Sex Discrimination Commissioner, Kate Jenkins. Apparently the *inalienable* human right to bodily and genital integrity does not apply to children of the male gender.
I'm still teen and didn't know bout this but the dad story made me cringe so hard since like I can relate to not being able to pull my foreskin all the way back '-' it hurtssssssssss helppppp
Thanks so much for making this video! I am pregnant with a boy and I am not gonna have him circumcised. I get grief and weird looks from people when I tell them but I think you are absolutely right its not my decision. This was really brave of you and I greatly appreciate it.
It is pretty late now, but I am 15 years old and i had the operation 2 days ago. Please circumcise your future children i am close to committing suicide because of the pain.
Well, with so many mom's telling their female friends that they ARE circumcising their sons, why shouldn't she tell her side. Just look at Miranda's comment on Sex In The City when the subject came up: "I am SO circumcising my kids." Typical American prejudice.
Thank you for giving the advice that this should be left for the child to decide later in life. That is absolutely correct. I've heard parents say "Well, then he won't have it done" - which in a way says it all. Your father should have shown you how to keep yourself clean from an early age. I've heard that the foreskin is highly innervated (has many many nerves) and removing those nerves diminishes pleasure. Here in California the practive of circumcision is dying out. Most of the younger guys at my gym retain their full natural bodies. Let's hope this unnecessary and useless practice goes totally away. I am sorry for your loss.
Cleanliness is very important. parents need to help their boys learn how to take care of their body properly. You wouldn't have had the issues you had if your parents were more attentive to that cleanliness issue. Also, I agree about babies being circumcised being wrong. I didn't have a choice and I will never know what it could have been like to be uncircumcised.
I was told once by my mother how to clean myself and have done so ever since, you start cleaning from your head down to your toes in that order, also it is important to wash as soon as reasonable after sex this is true for both males and females, and I don't mean you have to jump into the shower immediately after, the next morning is fine, but if you go all the next day without washing then obviously that is not ideal and will lead to problems
@@JerryDechant So sad you can never know what it is to be whole and experience the extcy of a foreskin! I wish I could have. I know what was stolen from me! Das 😎 all!
@@charlesvincent8677 one should come to the understanding that they have to raise a child and do the appropriate research. This is Flat out poop parent.
When not done for religious reasons, typically a boy's cut/uncut status is determined on a "like father, like son" basis. And almost always, circumcision is medically unnecessary.
It’s crazy to hear people say there is no loss of sensitivity; I can’t wear clothes with the skin pulled back because it’s so sensitive, the only way to tolerate the constant rubbing of fabric would be to lose sensitivity. I think initially it probably feels about the same, but there is no way the exposed gland will remain as sensitive 2 years later.
@@ashamaniq Even at 12 when my friend told me about how to masturbate the only feeling is on the scar. All I could do is scrape the scar and the head was not in play at all. Not to mention absolutely no feeling in it at all. Eventually the scar became sore red inflamed and swollen and deformed because there was so little feelling. Unlike my friend uncut who was just gliding his forskin to and fro. He then told me about why I was different. Also he had beautiful SENSATIONS...I had ebrations. Anyone who thinks that creating such a disparity between normal natural function to the penis is NOT a severe detriment...is COMPLETELY indoctrinated. For 68 years now what's between my legs is useless. Yes I procreate and my son is intact. However my sex life is never wait was supposed to be. 😡
@@ashamaniq After 68 years of exposure...not my choice...Dead Wood! No feelings at all. Totally destroyed my sex life. Yes I did have a son and he is uncut. I grew up in a neighborhood where all the boys were normal natural and intact. I was the freak! Then to have girls who prefer foreskin was crushing! Especially because they said it felt better and came easy. They also like to play with the foreskin Especially because it was fun to cover and uncover the head. They said that it was so wet and fun under the skin as well as velvety smooth unlike a cut tree bark hard one. Leave the boysZzzz alone! Das 😎 all.
The father should not have pulled his skin back. It’s not supposed to be pulled back to clean until puberty from what I’ve read. Pulling it back before then can cause infection and cause the skin to stick
6:59 important point to remember here. Most adults who have this procedure done, they have it done for medical reasons, such as phimosis, but not religious or cultural reasons. Therefore there is a natural bias when asking whether their sex lives have improved or worsened. If you have phimosis, like you explained, sex can be painful. It will feel like the foreskin is being ripped apart. So after a circumcision, those people will obviously say that their sex lives have improved. But being circumcised you also lose a lot of sensation on your glans. If you didn't it would be extremely uncomfortable to be circumcised, as the glans start rubbing against the fabric of the underwear. This discomfort only goes away when a considerable amount of sensation has been lost, due to the glans no longer being protected by the foreskin.
I have phimosis and thinking to circumcise. But I’m afraid of the lost of sensitivity and discomfort like you said when when glans are rubbing the underwear or cloth. But if I don’t have it circumcise it would be impossible to have sex later on. So it’s been giving me a lot of headache, cause to remove part of your body there is pain and lost.
@@LongNguyen-gq1kq I had phimosis aswell, but the surgeon was able to cut a peace of the foreskin and sew it back on in a way that it loosened and opened up enough that I could retract it. The procedure did leave a scar on the foreskin, but who cares.
@@LongNguyen-gq1kqAs a man who had a circumcision in my 40s, I would tell men to RUN! DON’T DO IT!! NOOOO!!! I lost a LOT of sensation and regret doing it. I did it because my foreskin would get tight at times and it would be difficult to pull back the foreskin. It wasn’t all the time. It would come and go. If I had known what I know now, I would have tried to live with it. Because the head is now exposed, it is uncomfortable and sometimes painful if I wear boxer briefs. If you do decide to go through with the circumcision, you can wear tight bikini briefs. That’s what works for me. The bikini briefs keeps your “stuff” from moving around, so the head is not rubbing against the underwear when moving around.
Most of the sensation is lost in the prepuce itself. No matter how long I keep my glans covered, it never increases in sensation. It's sensitive to pain and that's about it. 85% of my sensation is in my inner prepuce remnant and it's not much.
Have you ever considered foreskin restoration? Yes it's possible and if you're not already doing it, I suggest you look it it. Makes an great difference.
Good advice. I’m 32 and uncut. My father and his brothers aren’t cut. He taught me as young as age 4 to pull foreskin back and clean. Maybe about 12yrs old I’d consciously try to wear my foreskin back. I never had an issue with a tight foreskin and I think that’s due to my dad educating me early. Sex feels awesome and never had any pain! Most of my previous sex partners didn’t know I was uncircumcised or didn’t care when I told them I wasn’t lol. I’d say if you don’t have a medical issue like phimosis leave your foreskin alone!
How could your sex partners NOT knowing if you are or are you not circumcised? Whether you have long or short foreskin, soft or hard status, a couple of jerking motions and it's IMPOSSIBLE to misdiagnose.
My Father and Mother decided they wanted me to be uncircumcised. Unfortunately, the hospital did it without asking, as Mother had problems waking up after delivery. The year was 1957, and things were different back then. Sigh, I wish Dad and Mom had gotten their desire. I wish I were uncircumcised. I think there is a procedure to restore your circumcision, but it is what I heard and never followed up.
Gradual foreskin restoration via stretching is possible, but it can't recreate the other parts lost like the frenulum. There is a procedure being developed called Foregen that is supposed to restore the entire thing, but it's still a ways off from getting off the ground, and of course is very expensive.
My Dad taught the same thing to me when I was young. He also sat me down and taught me about sex, condoms and personal responsibility and responsibility to others when I became a teenager.
@@RobertRod818 From what learned of it in my college class, that's too old. You have to start stretching the skin BEFORE your penis begins to grow. You saw this vid I assume. He SAID when he was a teenager he couldn't pull it back despite all the gunk in there.
I give you a lot of respect for speaking so honestly and shamelessly about all of this. I don't think most men would feel so comfortable talking about these issues so openly. I think it's very helpful for other men to hear you talk about it. As a man who was circumcised at birth, I was not completely aware of all the things uncircumcised men have to deal with. I found this very interesting and informative and you have a very relatable presentation style. I still wish that I wasn't circumcised, though. But I'm Jewish, so that was never an option for my parents.
I agree with you whole heartedly and the individual should be able to make a decision regarding whether to have a circumcision when he’s old enough to decide for himself. Thank you so much for telling about your personal experience. I’m sure it was very difficult,
I'm from a non-religious American family. My parents foolishly (by recommendation of my ignorant natal doctor) had me circumcised at 2 days old. Babies should never be circumcised. That is horrible. A person can be damaged in many ways by circumcision, and it should be up to the individual whether or not to do it. And the list of so-called benefits are a myth. There are no real benefits...and in my personal opinion, it does not look better. I live with my parents' foolish choice everyday, every time I urinate; every time I have chafing; etc.
@@davidetienne9404 💯 correct! Total madness! Too bad parents can be so dumb to allow this inanity to done to a child! Imagine the scar on our brain in addition to our penis! MADDNESS! 😡
In the US, there is still such a stigma about having a natural (uncut) penis and such lack of knowledge and ignorance. Boys and girls should be taught about their bodies . Doctors and fathers should teach their boys the importace of hygiene, natural retraction which occurs for many inpuberty, and general care. There's no reason for cutting forskins unless theres a medical issue. I have read others who regretted circumcision.
Thank you so much for telling it like it really is. My ex husband was circumcised at birth and had almost no feeling in his penis because the head was rough and dried out. He had to work hard to reach a climax, which was painful and unpleasant for me. The intact partners with foreskins since my divorce have had very sensitive penises and the sex has been very gentle and sensual. Two men I know, had circumcisions as adults, and the feeling went down to 10% of what they originally had. They both restored their foreskins with restoration involving stretching methods. One got back 50% of the feeling he had, but the other one was cut right behind the head, so there was no foreskin remnants to stretch and he didn't get as much feeling, but having the stretched skin covering the head has made it more sensitive by keeping the head covered which keeps it moist like it should be. I get very annoyed when the so called "experts" say circumcision stops all those diseases. At one stage the highest death rate for men and women in the USA was AIDS and at the time, 95% of the adult men born there were circumcised.
The STD studies they reference were also done in Africa in some less than ethical ways and are questionable in their conclusions. Especially considering the practice was already well-established for cultural and religious reasons, it seems to me like they just wanted to confirm their existing biases with 'science'. Entire continents are uncircumcised and there is no substantial difference in STD rates compared to the US. Most of the difference comes from education, not getting cut up.
Complete BS lol. Mine was aslo cut at birth and has never had any issues with sex or his penis, comments like these are all anti-cutting propaganda. I will not hear it. I understand the importance of consent but I know stories like this are just meant to scare men.
Thank you for posting this video. As a mom to two boys I felt like this was such a big decision to make. I have no regrets on not circumcising them. My twelve year old son recently said thank you so much for not circumcising me. I really wasn’t expecting that conversation. I told him it’s his decision not mine.

bro thank you so much for being brave and making this video. this helped me a lot and I’m sure it helped a lot of other people that had the same experience as you
Great video. I also suffered from phimosis when I that age and it really affected my sex life for a long time. Doctor’s recommended that I have a circumcision too, but I refused. I started a process of stretching - first using a special tool that I found on the internet, and then just using my fingers. After a year or so, my foreskin could easily slide back and forth when soft. It’s still a little tighter than average when hard - but I like it that way, so stopped the stretching exercises. I think it’s very unfortunate how quick doctors are to recommend circumcision, when there are other options available. Fortunately it does seem that circumcision is starting to go out of fashion.
Dude!! you should be a lecturer for young guys. Sexual problems or anything they mat want to talk to you about. You are so well spoken and you would be a grat help to guys groeing up.
Completely agree. It's wrong to do this to babies. They do it without anesthesia, it's horrific. At that age, all experiences a baby has it perceives as coming from it's mother. Not a good start. It's wrong to force the skin back on babies and young boys. Your father didn't know any better. But I've heard of nurses trying to do that... anyone can be ignorant. When someone is dealing with phimosis, or a very tight foreskin, stretching exercises can work. One drop of an oil called squalane can soften the skin a little and help (squalane is naturally present in skin, and that which you can buy is made from olives and has no smell). That stuff is amazing and it's good for facial skin-care too. Only 1 maybe 2 drops is needed. Phimosis can be avoided if you teach your son do start gently trying to pull the skin all of the way back (if it isn't yet already able to do so) when peeing around age 11. If the skin can fully retract before puberty hits, phimosis can be largely avoided. If the situation with the tightness is dire, the doctor can make a small incision at the tight part along the direction of the shaft. The skin being tight will pull the incision open, the doctor can then pull the skin together so that the ends of the incision meet, and then stitch the skin together. The middle of the incision become the ends of the stitched together line (Hopefully you can picture in your mind what I am trying to describe.) It can be done so that no skin is removed. If a 1 cm incision is made, it adds 1 cm of skin length going around the penis. 2 small incisions on the sides (1 on each side) is enough to relieve the tension, they can be slightly offset from each other to widen a longer overall section of the skin. If there is some other reason where circumcision is determined to be necessary, you want to ensure that the seam will end up around 1/3 the length of the shaft away from the head or more. You do not want it to close to the head, as the closer to the head that the cut is, the more sensitivity that will be lost. For an erect average mans penis, you would want the cut to be at least an inch back at a minimum, with closer to 2 inches better. Also the amount removed should not be excessive. One side effect of circumcision is that when the penis is erect, pubes get pulled up on the lower part of the shaft. That means too much skin was removed. But really, circumcision should be avoided. Pull the skin back when urinating, once you are old enough that it can fully retract. Rinsing with water is sufficient to keep it clean throughout the day (after peeing, if you are able). If you feel like you need to use soap when showering, use a gentle soap and rinse it thoroughly.
Thank you for sharing about this! And I agree; every boy, man, male should have this choice to make for themselves. No doctor or parent should rob them of that.
Really interesting video. I know that for me personally, I like that I'm circumcised and I feel a good deal of sensitivity down there. I know that being uncircumcised isn't a big deal IF you know how to clean it, but if you don't, it is VERY unpleasant when there is a sexual encounter. So if you want to keep it, PLEASE keep it clean for your significant other or sexual partners. Hygiene should be taught by parents and in school because it is very important.
This video should have a hundred times more views since it is so well done and educational. When I was young, I experienced something similar. Hygiene and sexuality are often avoided in education and we learn the hard way at our expense. In my case, the problem was that I wasn't aware the skin could be pulled, so I never really washed it. The consequence, other than hygiene, was that the skin "fused" on the head. One day I was at the doctor for another reason and the doctor took a look and told me about the problem and the solution. That day, I learned. It took around a full year for me to gradually pull it and clean it to the full range so that the skin wasn't stuck on the head. The process was painful like ripping apart the skin, so I was doing a little more each time. At the end, things turned really good and during my teenage years I had a lot of fun with myself. In the past, I tried to keep the skin pulled and what happens is that the head gets dry and becomes more "rough"/less sensible like a more regular skin. Very good video. Thanks for sharing your experience with confidance. I know it is not an easy topic (even though it should be).
Thank you for your bravery, sharing your experience on this painful subject. I'm sorry to hear you received pressure to have the 'cut' although I'm glad you were at least an adult when this was done. "Cleanliness" has always come across as a specious argument to me. We don't cut off our toes to avoid toe-jam, our nostrils to avoid boggies or our outer ears to avoid ear wax. We wash them and we teach our children to do the same. It is sad that involuntary male genital mutilation is imposed on Jewish and Muslim infants and children, based on scriptural interpretations. What I find really puzzling is why, in that crazy country, the US of A, over 90 per cent of non-Hispanic white males suffer neo-natal genital mutilation. Over 100 years ago it was practiced in a vain attempt to reduce or stop the practice of masturbation. Now it is recognised that masturbation and ejaculation are essential to help maintain a healthy prostate, circumcision should be actively discouraged.
Ozzy, man, your problem began when your dad forcibly retracted your foreskin at 7 years old. It is normal for a boy not to be able to retract his foreskin into his teens, as it naturally separates from the head - it adheres to the head from birth as a protection of the head. Once it was forced, and your foreskin was still tight so you couldn't retract it, all the problems you experienced were the result. And then, of course, the doctor recommends circumcision. :( And the reason your sensitivity was reduced is not only because of lubrication and roughness, but because the foreskin has 20,000 nerve endings! The head has very few. A man's pleasure is primarily the result of the foreskin rolling back and forth over itself during masturbation and intercourse. That gliding action is also what gives pleasure and comfort to your partner. Thank you so much for your frank and clear description of your experience. I hope guys pay attention.
i am not able to retract my foreskin but i don't have really any problems at all like i can masturbate without any issues,never had any infections...why is it so??
@@suli1861 Your condition is called phimosis, and does not require any surgical treatment, unless it constricts the blood flow if pulled back and and is very tight/stuck. The foreskin can be softened and stretched with hydrocortisone cream over time and may make it possible to retract eventually. As you say, you are not having any problems with sexual activity, so it's up to you. My expectation is that a urologist would recommend circumcision - beware!
@@spanishtaco3144 if you know someone circumcised. Foregen wants to regenerate male foreskin with all specialized structures removed from circumcision, if you want to know more : www.foregen.org
I, too, was circumcised as an adult because of phimosis. I tried the creams but still had trouble fully retracting my foreskin. I didn’t make the decision to get circumcised lightly. In the end, I did go for it-you’re right the healing process was the hardest part (surgery was done in like an hour, no problem) because of the night time erections. I would remember waking up and trying to get my erection down so that the stitches wouldn’t pop. I feel fortunate that I got to make the decision about my penis as an adult and wasn’t forced to get cut as a baby. I’ve experienced both in life. I think this decision to be circumcised should be left to men who are old enough to make that decision. In the end, I’m happy with my choice.
Hi, I’m late to this video but I had the exact same thing as this guy. After surgery for the next 2 weeks or so I had such awful pain I genuinely just wanted to die
@@ofcourseuwont nothing, it’s supposed to. It scared me when I felt the stitches pop off but they eventually will come off naturally. So you don’t have to worry about that
I think I was 10 when I had my circumcision. And lucky for me healing was faster than if I had had it done as an adult. About losing some sensitivity or pleasure, I feel that after ejaculation the glans becomes way sensitive anyways so I don't feel I need to feel more than that sensation. Plus, I never get that funky smell that I notice with guys that are uncut. I'm glad I am cut.
@@Fishionista Ppl say when your glans met with fiber like your underwear , tight pant or jeans . It will hurt alot without the foreskin protecting it is that true?
I'm a woman, so I don't know what having a penis feels like. However, men aren't circumcised here in Norway unless it's for religious reasons. But I've been with both, and I simply don't understand why anyone would do that to themselves or their child. There is literally no medical reason for it, and I don't see what the actual benefits would be. Aesthetically I don't care, but practically I prefer a natural one for all the reasons you stated. Honestly an outdated and silly practice. But to each their own.
It's hilarious when circumcised men say they feel no loss in sensitivity when the reality is, the sensitivity loss is not immediate. It's not the foreskin that was the sensitive part, it was what the foreskin was PROTECTING that was the sensitive part. When you lose the foreskin, the glans slowly build skin thickness, decreasing the amount of sensation the glans receive. Except that takes time, it takes time to thicken. It takes years in some cases, and you can't undo that thickness without foreskin. Which is where the "I feel no difference in sensitivity" comes in. They either answered that question a few months after the circumcision, LONG before the glans have thickened, or they answer it years later by the time it has, they just can't remember what it was like before that, so they have no perceived decrease.
You sound like you know what you are talking about but there is an additional consideration: the lack of sensitivity may help prevent the male from having a premature orgasm. Instead, being able to go for a longer time could make the object of his attention feel more fulfilled.
Not entirely correct. The foreskin itself has a bundle of many nerve endings specifically sensitive to "fine touch". It should never be inflicted upon a child. It should be their own decision about their own body.
@@garrettgarcia4860 What are the "medical reasons" being cited? I highly recommend that you seek alternative opinions. It is very rarely the only solution.
@@garrettgarcia4860 I understand if it's for medical reasons but like Ian mentioned don't rush into it, get several other opinions, ask your doctor about exercises that'll help you stretch the foreskin and gradually pull back naturally. There is also a procedure that is known as a partial circumcision where they don't cut off the foreskin completely. In the meantime use a condom during sex. You won't be getting married anytime soon, this gives you plenty of years to research, educate yourself and prevent an irreversible tragic event.
@@fernandofong5002 Not so. You obviously no nothing about a whole and natural penis... there is NO smell, and infections still result (if you don't take care), and phimosis is another problem entirely. Do not speak when you know nothing!

Ignorants always think they are right when they are totally wrong 👍👍👍
I have a 36 year old son who got circumcised while in the hospital. That was the way things were done back then. I have a 29 year old who was a home birth so he's uncircumcised and we wanted to leave it up to him. There was a time he wasn't happy about it. He seems to be OK now. Tough choice once it's done it's done.
Man this dad interaction is wild. How does he not know? What kind of dad doesn't help you with hygiene? No judgment, I don't know you or your parents but these are just questions that came to mind.
How could a father not even know his son wasn’t circumcised at age 7?!
This is what I'm stuck on..... lol did he never change a diaper, and not there for the birth?
Odd.....the father doesn't even know his own child, sad.
Only thing I can think of is dad left mom when she was pregnant with him and he just popped up in their life a day or two before he found out that he was uncircumcised
Exactly my thought.
He put a separate post on this video after reading threads like this one. He said that his father was not around until he was 7. He did not say why. But it would seem that when he was 7, his father started living with them.
As a circumcised male I completely respect your opinion on not wanting to be circumcised. I would really love to see how being uncircumcised affects me so that I can get a real opinion on which I prefer. I think that all men should have the right to choose if they want to be circumcised or not. It is completely unfair for men to be forced by their parents to be circumcised.
I am forced to be circumcised by my parents. Tomorrow is the day. Hope it does not hurt.
You are the only person that has to live with your body for the rest of your life. It’s your body, not your parents. You do not have to let this happen. Do not put yourself in a position of doing something to please somebody else that you may regret long after anybody else has forgotten.
@@luchbernardez1089 i have experienced circumsition and after the prosedure it really hurts for 1 weeks so good luck and before the doctor cut. He sticks three needles on all sides and it hurts and the worst of all i am awake during the operation
Circumcision are mostly a religious edict... especially the Monotheistic religions.// where those parents who forced kids to be circumcised...while still a baby... tue?
100% that is my main point. no one should be able to decide this unless it is for real medical reason. Should be left up to the person that the penis is attached to.
I'm sorry no one ever taught you how to care for yourself before your surgery. Thank you so much for sharing your story. So many people need to hear it.
Oh but his Dr. repeatedly gave him proper hygienic instruction on multiple occasions. And told him to stop masturbating until his penis had healed. He made a person choice to disregard those instructions
GO BACK AND WATCH THE VIDEO AGAIN. IF YOU DOUBT WHAT I SAY.
I don't know man. I would think that washing properly is not something that someone has to tell you or show you how to do other than when you are a child. If you smell anywhere it's a sign you need to do a better job of cleaning that area. I understand that was difficult for him due to his phimosis, which makes it all the more obvious why he needed to get circumcized.
Believe it or not, but in the USA a lot of doctors don't have the faintest clue on how the penis works. They even tell young boys to forcibly retract the foreskin instead of "only clean what is seen" like the rest of the world.
@testtest-fn7sk 05:20 he admits that the Dr. gave him creams and a cleansing routine... but I couldn't stop masturbating to let it heal. (this guy had done entire videos about his Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.)
He made a conscious decision to not follow the Dr.s' instructions to heal the chronic infection he had now self imposed.
The only was to cure him was to do a circumcision, because he himself realized he could not stop masturbating long enough to heal the recurring infection. (I guarantee you, until your circumcision is fully healed, you will not masturbate. too painful.
Per his own words, the Dr went over the advantages and disadvantages of surg. and HE a Man of the age of Majority decided to sign his name on the dotted line after intensely googling it....so he was an informed consumer/Patient and now he is blaming the Doctor for buyer's remorse.
Sometimes, I wonder how many foolish people there are in the world until ones like him and yourself come along to reaffirm my thoughts.
Amen🙏🏻. He is a very brave young man😊.
Congrats for talking this so openly on youtube and telling your experience for others to know. This is a very important topic that sadly is not taught to us when little boys.

if your into sensitive doing some s*xual stuff, then dont circumcised BUT MAKE SURE YOU CLEAN IT THROUGHLY cause its disgusting medically speaking if you dont..
if your into hygiene on-the-go, then getting into circumcision is a better since its fully expose and easily be cleaned(without the effort).. if your concern is additional sensitivity, then we have lubricants, gels, lotions, water, all that stuff.. its accessible. So for people discouraging about not-to-get circumcision because of Fcking RELIGION thing, GTH!.. Religion should not be a basis of one's decision
Thankful you kept your Son intact !

So true!!!
Circumcision not needed at all unless it is a medical necessity. I view natural body parts are essential.

You guys do know that you can get your foreskin back after you are circumscised. My neighbor had problems with his foreskin so some doctors advised him to get cut. After two years of being cut he hated being cut. A friend of his told him what to do. After about a year he got his foreskin back.
@@highup7 Your neighbor is either a reptile or is just lying.
@@tiromandal6399Actually there are methods of foreskin restoration. You can google it.
For anyone that says there is no difference in sensation.... Its literally SIMPLE MATH. If you have one WHOLE something and you take away X amount of it, you will ALWAYS have LESS of the item in question. It will never be equal or more.. This applies to nerve endings as well.
Sensation goes away in the part you take off, obviously, but other areas then become more sensitive due to new exposure. A lot of men claim that it feels 'too sensitive' after procedure, and thus learn to adapt to their new sensations in time.
@@corlenwilschire That's true in the short term but the longer out from the procedure you get the more desensitized those parts get.
as an uncircumcised had an experiment. opened the end for a month and left it like this. it was a nightmare to walk like this. cloth painfully rubs the most sensitive part. it gets scratched, red as if inflammation is on its way. eventually sensitivity decreased so much that the sensations during coitus were so low and limited that it became no near to what i used to experience. way more difficult to enjoy.
after completion of the experiment the sensitivity was recovering very long time.
i ll never wish to go through this and willingfully reduce my sensitivity, especially by circumcision. and for what? foreskin does not bother, why would i? it protects the most sensitive part. i have water and soap, i live in a civilized country, not in a desert. there was no difference in hygiene before and during experiment. you anyway should wash it, right. so what's the difference whether you have foreskin or not. just go and wash it. pull skin back and wash. no problem. to wash ass nobody cuts buttocks, right, just because they make it more difficult to wash sphincter. to see with eyes nobody cuts their eylids, right. you just open them and see.
also, if back to the topic of pleasure. if a couple wants to bring pleasure to each other, foreskins of clitoris or penis only help with it. who would prefer direct rubbing of the most sensitive parts open and by harsh skin of hands compared to gentle careful foreskin movement if there is a special protection for them - foreskin. no lubricant needed. all parts are involved. no harm expected. you can procede even for the whole night.
and also in individual process. isn't it going with just skin movement up and down? and how to move it along the very end if someone came and cut the skin for this part? why should one avoid the most sensitive part if it's designed for the biggest sensation. then why didn't we completely remove the ability to move any bit of skin there to leave only one possible option - to rub along surface. let's remove the whole lot. why partially.
it's only mutilation, telling you. absolutely pointless, cruel and barbaric.
why do this if there's no medical need for. mutation when really doctor says circumcision is the only option. then fine.
folks, big pharma in your countries simply makes money on your babies. nothing more. in the most barbaric way. and your letting them.
we don't need this in my country and we re completely fine with this.
not a native english speaking one.
@corlenwilschire yeah that's temporary, after that there is a process called keratinisation which makes the thing more rigid and way ledd sensitive

Deadass, this one doctor had an idea to remove mine at 9. Shit terrified me
And religion.
Jewish doctors with strong personal opinions advising naive young parents to go though with surgery.. Wrong, Wrong, so wrong. Parents have No right at all to implement such surgery on a tiny human being literally days old. Best is to wait until the boy reaches the age of at least 18. Until then from at least the start of puberty both parents should show the child how to take care of personal hygiene & how to avoid a build up of smegma ( cock cheese),sorry, by washing the area, drying it & applying baby oil. If Phimosis is detected the skin can be dilated with medical procedures.

If you ever have a son, would you get him circumcised soon after birth?
I agree with this opinion.
I can pull mine back an it will look as if it was circumcised but its not
I was circumcised late, for a kid, around 4 or 5. Sucks a little worse because I was conscious while they were preparing me. I remember the whole drive, pulling into the lot, getting set down and wondering what was going on. What I don't remember is what it looked or felt like after the surgery. When I bring it up to my Mom and express my resentment, she says I had to get it because I had an infection. Probably because no one in our culture ever deals with cleaning it, since its chopped right away. So the doctor, of course, recommends circumcision.
Only thing I lucked out on is that I got it in a first world country and was put under. They told me that they were planning to have it done in our country of heritage, where the ceremony is done in public, no anesthesia. and very traumatizing. All in all, though, I'm 100% against it. Vile, outdated practice that should only be the last resort with medical issues.
Well, women get infections too, so your mom's logic is really dumb. We don't cut off our labia when we get a yeast infection. Yeast infections are very common you can get them easily by being sweaty from running track.
I often hear that American doctors treat any kind of infection with a circumcision instead of, oh, I don't know, what the rest of the world uses: ANTIBIOTICS for crying out loud.
Your mother feels very guilty, you probably didn't have any infection, she's trying to compensate for her mistakes, because it is a mistake.
What’s your country of heritage
Same experience for me. I was circumcised at 9. I remeber everything. Surgery before and after. Wish they never did it. My mom says i had a problem. I dont remember that. I do remember being told to how to clean it and take care of it. And that it had a different color and texture.
Excellent, intelligent, and honest discussion that needs to be expressed in our repressed society. When I was born, my mother's doctor was Italian, and when she asked him if she should circumsize me he urged her not to. He said, signora, it's a silly and unnecessary American practice. I thankfully am intact, and have no issue retracting my foreskin. If I don't wash my toes, they will smell. I don't think it would be wise, however, to have them cut off.
Washed or not
The foreskin always produces bad odor and smegma

Circumcision is not a big deal. It has a lot of benefits to it. Example, circumcision makes it easier to clean down there and keep it clean. Circumcision prevents diseases and infections.
Circumcision does not affect male sexual pleasure since males don't even have that much sexual pleasure to begin with. Females have a lot more sexual pleasure than males do. A female's orgasm is 10 times strong as a male's is.
Females have far more nerve receptors on her body and clitoris. She feels more sensitivity than males do as a whole. Females can keep orgasming endlessly. Males orgasms are shorter than females. Females produce and release more oxytocin than males do and oxytocin increases intensity of orgasms. Estrogen is a precursor to oxytocin.
The more estrogen your body has, the more you release oxytocin and reap its benefits the more intense the orgasms are. A female under MRI during an orgasms show trance like brain while males do not show that intensity and their orgasms a quick while females orgasms are very long. Females vocalize and squirm and make pleasurable faces involuntarily due to extreme intense pleasure. It’s very clear females experience orgasms far more intensely than male do. This is a known, scientific biological fact.
Female orgasms are known to feel better and more intense than male orgasms. Do your research, females vagina has more nerve endings than the male penis. The female clit alone has 10,000 nerve endings (or more) compared to 4,000 nerve endings in the male glans and foreskin. Women literally feel 2x the pleasure and sensation than men do. It’s a fact, do your research google is free. Also women don’t give up on the sex, it’s the men that do but everyone’s experience is different. Women can even experience orgasm multiple times whereas men it’s usually just once which seems boring and not pleasurable at all.
Here's a quote from actress Lizzy Caplan:
"The female body is far better equipped for sex than the male body. Women can have multiple orgaasms: men cannot. They're actually the sexual athletes, not the men."

Thanks for this. Our son was born in 1976. My husband is circumcised but he respected my wish to not cut off part of our baby for no good reason. I had a harder time with hospital staff who kept wanting to cut him. Our son remains fine with my decision. Although a majority of American baby boys are still circumcised, a lot fewer are circumcised now than was true when my boy was born.
It is important that parents protect their babies!!!
Good mom 👍
It's horrible when hospital staff with no relation the the baby child, wants to cut off an important part of the male body in the most private area of the male body without medical reasons, but with lifelong negative consequences for that male human being.
Stupid karen woman
Unfortunately hospitals in the US, at least, have a financial incentive to perform circumcisions, or, without the medical euphemism, routine genital cutting, because for what is a relatively quick procedure for the doctor, they can make a tidy profit, not only for charging you/your insurer for amputating the foreskin, but also then selling the amputated flesh off to companies like those that develop skin creams for an additional profit on top of that, which the owner of the foreskin never even gets compensated for. That's not even mentioning the medical practitioners that might be religiously and/or culturally biased toward it.

@@Mcfreddo The father had no reason or right to interfere with his son's penis, regardless of how ignorant he might have been at the time. It's basic common sense that a grown man shouldn't mess with some else's genitals.
I'm trying to understand how his Dad didn't know he was uncircumcised. I also think it is weird that his Dad pulled his foreskin back at that age. IDK...that's just weird to me.
Its Man things dude , and its his son too bad for the dads inexperience if he would of told him to stretch it more often he wouldn't have had any problems with it . I too had phismosis and had a circumsision at 22 been about 3-4 months now sex is great i finnally feel confident in myself as well
Yeah that is weird!! Dad should know that since the day he was born
I think father and son should be this close at that age…it’s after 12 that I think dad should let his son grow up. Being this close with ur dad before 12 makes the boy comfortable with his masculinity
I think the real question here is:
Why was he looking in the first place?
This must be one of those weird U.S. gymnophobia things. Parents and children never being around each other naked in the home or never even seeing each other naked. Or a father not even knowing whether or not his son is circumcised ?!
Interesting to hear your experience. I am a woman, psychiatrist, psychotherapist and sex counselor. I have lived ( 60 years) in a culture in Northern Europe where circumcision is very rare and only the Jewish and Muslims are practicing it.
I am _very sorry_ so many boys grow up without proper guidance from adults and are treated by uneducated doctors. It is totally possible to keep male genitals clean and healthy au naturel. Meeting a circumcised man (American, of course), I just could not understand why he had to give away a fun part of himself as a baby. Have you guys ever thought how many doctors make their daily bread like that? Many people here in my medical community think it is a form of child abuse to remove a healthy foreskin. Phimosis can be treated surgically without removing the foreskin. It is much more safe to prevent STDs by using condoms than removing the foreskin. I can think of only two instances I would have had it done to my son: 1. Paraphimosis means that when the foreskin is tight it can get stuck behind the glans. If no conservative treatment (lidocaine gel, lubricants etc) is successful the foreskin must go to save the penis. 2. There are skin conditions (scleroderma) that can alter the skin structure so much it causes trouble. 3.At old age, there can be tumors that need to be removed. Condylomas can be prevented by other means than circumcision. 4. Accidental traumas 5. If there is serious malformations of the anal region or loss of skin due to burns, the foreskin can be used as a skin graft.
You made a good point by saying it does not feel natural when the foreskin is no longer there and you give good advice to your fellow men. Do your research, everybody, and when in trouble, I hope you can find an experienced doctor who can inform you well so you can decide what to do.
Psychiatry is one of the most horrible scams in existence. You probably won't ever believe it tho, cuz it would lessen your dignity.
Nice one doc...valuable information
Do you use drugs to mask symptoms or do you treat the underlying root causes?
As a woman, you are not entitled to an opinion on this subject. Leave parents and families alone to make that choice for their sons.
He didn't "give away a fun part of himself as a baby". Most circumcised men have a lot of carefree fun just the same.. and with giving oral, many have no taste for smegma. Maybe you do.
You gave me so much more confidence because you talk honestly and openly. This helps millions of boys and men accept what they are. Good man, respect
I have a friend who's natural foreskin is so short no one might have ever known he was uncircumcised. So a lot of guys aren't just cut or not cut. A certain percentage of boys have your exact situation in their teen years. I have always imagined that it is a very painful few weeks of recovery and even longer to adapt. Thanks for letting other young men who may have the same issues. This will help them to make their own best choices or adaptations.
Question: how do you know what his penis looks like
Your Dad, (who didn't know you were intact?), should never have yanked your foreskin back. He may have caused your problems. The biggest cause of foreskin issues is premature retraction, usually done by care takers. The foreskin is fused to the head of the penis at birth, and gradually becomes free to retract on its own. The foreskin should be allowed to retract naturally when ready, and not forced. Sometimes retraction may not happen until teen years. Phimosis in adults can be dealt with using much less intrusive remedies without circumcision.
Thank you now I know a lot more
This dudes dad is a fucking weirdo for telling him to retract his foreskin
I'm thinking the same thing. Never retract your sons junk. Never.
I thought the same thing when he said that. I was like "damn, why the hell would he do that??" I don't even understand the purpose or thought process behind that action.
Thanks for the info I was a teenager when it retracted on its own..
Well spoken! I am uncut, and have never had any issues with my intact penis. I didn't circumcise my children, and they have done very well. If they want to have this completely unneccessary surgery, then that will be THIER decision, not mine. I have found that typically, it is the women who are making the decision to have the baby circumcised. They give the most idiotic reasons why they want the baby cut. They say things like "it is a tradition in our family", or "it looks better cut", or "it's more hygenic". I am just amazed that they give such unbelievable answers! Oh, and by the way, I am NOT including religious reasons in my answer here.

Why not religion? Religion has destroyed so much.
@@yaassss5531 There are Jewish parents now who leave it up to their children to make the decision when they reach adulthood although I suspect there is a certain pressure then to have it done.
My uncut uncle joined the Navy right out of high school in 1950, and and spent a LOT of time in the sea near Japan. He was FORCED to get 'cut' (along with all his fellow uncut shipmates) by his commanding officer - since it was felt that when the guys got 'shore leave', they'd all go visit prostitutes, and that uncut guys were more likely to contract an STD. I've read the foreskin contains thousands of VERY sensitive nerves, and it protects the HEAD of the penis from the rubbing of the diaper, underwear, etc. - keeping 'it' ALSO very SENSITIVE. My uncle was 20 years older than me, and he told me that allowing them to do that surgery was one of the worst mistakes he ever made in his life, since masturbation was NEVER as pleasurable after he was 'cut', and since he WAS gay, there never WAS any chance he was ever going to go into any 'whorehouses' in Japan anyway LOL By the way, I'm uncut myself, one of only three out of about 35 in my phys-ed class (we still had the gang showers - post gym class in the '60's) and my Dad was uncut also, and my parents taught me from a VERY EARLY AGE how to properly BATHE - EVERYTHING, including retracting my foreskin and washing 'it and the head' WELL with soap and water and MAKING certain to flush ALL the soap residue before getting out of the tub. Instead of getting cut, I believe your doctor COULD have done a minor surgery, and made a few SMALL cuts 'into just the opening edge of your foreskin', allowing it TO 'fully retract painlessly', and yet STILL letting you RETAIN the coverage and PLEASURE OF the FORESKIN you were born with - and MEANT TO HAVE !!!.
Bath, key word.

Great vid. I have a dad who is Mexican and was not circumcised. Me and my brothers were born here in the states and they just took it upon themselves to circumcise all of us. I would never have done this. This is something I said over and over. I never had the CHOICE. I really feel those doctors did us a disservice. Everything you said about being circumcised is true. It is rougher in texture and requires a ton more stimulation.
I agree with you, I was circumcised as a child and I absolutely hate that the choice was taken from me. I would have NEVER done it, it was a complete violation by doctors to do this to so many baby boys. I am really hoping Foregen will be successful soon and can regenerate the foreskin using stem cells.

Jose, I practiced for 30+ yrs. I was a Med. Missionary to 3 Latin Countries. You would not believe the high rate of infections from the uncircumcised Latino Population. Very few uncircumcised males actually know how to properly clean under their foreskin. The SMELL is nauseating to those around them. They themselves grow used to the smell and tend to think it is normal.
In my career I have placed well over a thousand urinary catheters in Men here in the US. so it is not a cultural thing with Latinos only. Before placing the catheter one must pull back the foreskin cleanse the penis, retracted foreskin, penis head and opening as well and the scrotum. Otherwise risk internal infections. I seldom found intact men (from every walk of life) who had proper penis hygiene. Most had a build up of Smegma (oils, dead skin cells, sebaceous secretions, and old sperm and urine marinating in the warm environment under the moist foreskin.).
First of all much of what you presented is not correct. At least one Parent must sign a legal consent for a boy to have a circ at birth or anytime before age 18. The Hospital, nor the Dr. can perform the circ. without it. The legal term is ASSAULT. You are highly misinformed when you say "they just do it without asking." As proof of this you yourself signed such a consent before your Surg. at 19 yrs. If you did not read what you were signing before surg. that is on you legally.
You had a very serious case of Phimosis (Fi-moe-sis) with redundant infections and irretractable foreskin. It is easy to say that now you would just have properly cleaned under your foreskin instead of the Circ.
You were repeatedly given proper instructions and by your own words you just decided to stop following the Dr.'s advice and instructions and ended up having repeated infections and strangulation. Some men have actually strangulated the end of their penis to the point it has to be removed. That is what happens when the foreskin retracts partially when the penis is in a softened state. An Erection happens and the constricted end of the phimotic foreskin acts like a hangman's noose trapping the end of the penis without a proper blood supply. That is an emergency situation and the usual treatment is to gently cut a line in the end of the foreskin until the band of tissue permits restoration of the vital blood supply that has been cut off.
To not have had a circumcision in your case would have been bad medical advice since you had already proven that you would not properly care for your penis and could not stop masturbating to allow proper healing. So, what do you do now... you blame the surgeon for your lack of character to have provided proper hygiene that would have temporarily taken care of the Phimosis. In your case, your Med. History clearly shows that this was already a recurring problem (even if you had proper hygiene instruction... you failed to provide the needed care. As a physician the only medically sound advice in your situation was given to you and now you have buyer's remorse (that prevented future danger to you penis) and you want to strike out at the Dr. for providing sound and medically correct information to you and left the final decision up to YOU!!
Those are the real facts, proven from nearly 4,000 years of the practice of Circumcision that became widely used at first in the Jewish Community when God made a covenant with Father Abraham to circumcise male babies on the 8th day after birth. I am not Jewish by the way and Muslims as descendants of Abraham through Ishmael have also practiced circ. in the same time period. I have been called to the ICU when nurses have pulled back a phimotic foreskin to bath unconscious men and the penis turned blue and cold. I was always successful in returning the foreskin back over the head of the penis, BUT THAT IS NOT ALWAYS POSSIBLE.
I now expect to hear from non-medical personnel with a myriad of non-physiologic reasons why I am wrong. I AM NOT WRONG. So if you choose to argue the Medical Facts you had better have an MD after you name and personally have dealt with Phimotic Patients in a clinical medical setting.
Read the Published facts directly from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) if you do not believe me. They have compiled the latest Medical Facts and published a position paper.

I am a first time mother to a beautiful baby boy. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and feelings on this. My boy will stay fully intact until he decides that for himself, it's his body and it's not my choice. I want him to know that I respect his bodily autonomy and that it's his body and his choice!
Most people that grow up uncircumcised will stay that way unless there is a medical need to do it. I understand it is quite painful as you heal for a week or two and that scares people considering it. If it isn't so tight that it chokes the penis and the boy learns to keep it properly clean he will probably live his entire life that way. I have known two people who had it done late in life due to it being too tight.
Natural is great
Hope all of the parents would be like you and respect and teach respect to theirs children!! 👏👏
When parents don't have it done, It's not really an "option" for later in life. It's only done later in life if it's absolutely needed for medical reasons (like for this guy), because the scars are bad, chafing problems, and the pain and embarrassment, so doing it young is the best option It grows nicer being done before puberty with minimal scaring. It's a parents choice but I'd definitely choose to do it, I'm gay and know both types intimately, one is very clean and resists disease, the other is funky, dirty, and dangerous even if you keep it clean it's a love nest for bacteria, there's a reason the military used to enforce it.
I think its a silly choice to keep it however its a free society and you get to decide.
@@brad9529 my dear, that's your opinion and what you got inside your head because of what you've been told and I'm sorry but it's not so bad to keep it, first because it's what nature gave you and nature is wise and there's a reason why it is there, and second it's not a nest for bacteria, you're expose down there to many things even though if you don't have it because it's a protection for your penis. If you keep it clean there's no problem (don't believe everything you hear). It must be an option for any men because it's his body.

Thanks for bringing up an important part of a male's birth. My birth physician told my mother that nature put a foreskin over the penis glans for protection and enhanced sensitivity. Which is the same thing that I learned during my studies at college. I'm a Professor of Research Microbiology so I know what can live under the foreskin of the penis. We Americans earnestly started circumcisions in the 20th century - a bad idea. I never had a problem with Phimosis, but a regimented administration of a particular cream (which has to be recommended by your physician) will loosen your foreskin and allow retraction for proper cleaning and sexual activity. My personal preference is to have my foreskin and not feel pressured by anybody for any reason.

Good thing your mother listened to the physician. Take it from me who got a circumcision in my 40s…..DON’T DO IT!!! I wish I could go back in time and not get that procedure. 😢

Hi, European point of view here. As a Belgian, it seems we're much more open disussing sexual health issues with our sons, although I'll have to atmit that there's a part of the dads, that leaves this up to the mams to discuss. On to some facts, In Belgium, the doctors are more hesitating performing a full circumsion, in stead, they use the "Z- incision" more often. With a z-incision, you don't need to remove the whole foreskin, but you make a "z" shape cut in it, so you're foreskin has more room going over the head of the penis. It's in most cases a perfectly fine solution for boys or men, who've been suffering from phimosis. Kind regards, and thank you for informing men about there sexual health, it's necessary.
This is sensitive issue and needs alot of pre examination
I've had it once i was born but never knew anything on that until puberty hit
Foreskin is a good thing
Bruh if I can keep my foreskin that’s the move 100%
Can you have this surgery done as an adult? And how succesdul is it, as in is there alot of side effects?
Thank you for this most frank and candid discussion. I have a son who is in his late teens. His mother and I did not have him circumcised; thinking that if he wanted it done as an adult, the decision is his. I also believe a boys regular bathing should include cleaning their ears, underarms, butt, feet and under the foreskin along with the rest of their body. It should be a natural part of regular bathing.
Also, here in America, we tend to circumcise "just because". I don't believe my father was cut (I accidentally saw him when he was being bathed just before he died), but I was cut. I wish I had not been; which made me decide to not mutilate my son.
Yes, there are times when it is necessary but I think generally, boys should be left intact.

I find it so unfortunate that foreskin has been so targeted as something to even pay attention to. Even though being circumcised is fine, when it comes down to it, it’s just genital mutilation. I used to think foreskin was gross but then when I realized I was totally being conditioned by society, my whole perspective changed and now I see it as something normal, purposeful, beautiful. There is nothing unclean or alien about it. Taking care of it is like washing your armpits or brushing your teeth. Society needs to consider itself so people stop believing in totally false concerns that have nothing to do with science and biology. Our issues with foreskin come from long cultural and religious lineages that are irrelevant to today’s consciousness.
Spoken like an uncircumcised male and there is nothing irrelevant about CULTURE, dear, unless you’re a cave-dwelling hermit. You also forgot two other important factors: Preference and Aesthetic. Some people just prefer to be circumcised because it is just more visually and hygienically pleasing to them and their partners. To each his own.
I don't think it is healthy if it is so tight that it won't retract and I have heard it can be painful when it won't. That would also make it difficult to keep clean if it is that tight as he explained.

I was circumcised at birth and will always wonder what its like to be intact. When I was a teen and in my 20s, I was quite "sensitive" so I never really thought I was missing anything. But what's done's done, can't be undone. I personally think its barbaric and abusive to boys. It's mutilation in fact IMO.
Yes. Circumcision at birth is a terrible, cruel and unnecessary form of male gnital mutilation without benefits.
That is exactly what it is! If you understand our history in this country and why we do it as commonplace as we do, you would never allow anyone you live with to be subjected to it.

Brave of you to be self-reflective enough to take that stance. Most would simply rather live in denial or arrogance.
I wish I was circumcised. Thess foreskin are a pain to maintain, they scare girls, and they make the thought of finally getting circumcised daunting because the head is so sensitive with a foreskin, it's hard to imagine living comfortably without one.
Honest video. I have 3 friends who were circumcised as adults and all three regret their decision. They did it due to pressure from their female partners and doctors even though they there was no medical indication. They were told that sex would be better and that there would be no affect on sensitivity. Three diffferent doctors lied to them....why am I not suprised. When it comes to USA healthcare you have to be your advocate and "let the buyer beware". There have been two occassions in my life where a doctor just about killed me with misdignosis and with drug interactions. I have NO trust for USA healthcare and you shouldn't either. RESEARCH everything that a doctor tells you before committing to following through with their recommendations. It could be worse then just loosing your foreskin.

Those female partners you talk about are the reason why I am glad that I am gay. Although many straight boys and men around me have been somewhat homophobic, I still feel pity for them.
They simply don't deserve such partners in their sexual and romantic relations, who are apathetic almost in absolute level towards anything male or masculine.
As an intact man I have never had a problem retracting my foreskin and accordingly keeping good hygiene. A very small percentage of men have problems in this regard. At least you are an adult and you made the decision for yourself, albeit it the wrong one unfortunately. However, no one has the right to violate and mutilate a child's body so; it is against their human rights and is paramount to child abuse.
You are so right! It’s has nothing to do with hygiene. More an excuse to not clean themselves🤮🤮
Well spoken.
Yes!
"However, no one has the right to violate and mutilate a child's body so; it is against their human rights and is tantamount to child abuse." That's interesting, because the Australian Human Rights Commission defends genital integrity rights for female and intersex children, but will not do so if the child is born male. Just ask the National Children's Commissioner, at the AHRC, Anne Hollonds; or the Human Rights Commissioner, Edward Santow; or the Sex Discrimination Commissioner, Kate Jenkins. Apparently the *inalienable* human right to bodily and genital integrity does not apply to children of the male gender.
I'm still teen and didn't know bout this but the dad story made me cringe so hard since like I can relate to not being able to pull my foreskin all the way back '-' it hurtssssssssss helppppp
Thanks so much for making this video! I am pregnant with a boy and I am not gonna have him circumcised. I get grief and weird looks from people when I tell them but I think you are absolutely right its not my decision. This was really brave of you and I greatly appreciate it.
Good for you, mom, standing up for your little guy.
It is pretty late now, but I am 15 years old and i had the operation 2 days ago. Please circumcise your future children i am close to committing suicide because of the pain.
Why are you telling people that you’re not circumcising your son?
Well, with so many mom's telling their female friends that they ARE circumcising their sons, why shouldn't she tell her side. Just look at Miranda's comment on Sex In The City when the subject came up: "I am SO circumcising my kids." Typical American prejudice.
@@tombudzinski950 I tell people when they ask. Alot of woman discuss these things when they are considering pregnancy.
Yea you don't need to be cut. You lose sensitivity. Be clean. See ur doc and talk about all the stuff. Ask questions.
Thank you for giving the advice that this should be left for the child to decide later in life. That is absolutely correct. I've heard parents say "Well, then he won't have it done" - which in a way says it all. Your father should have shown you how to keep yourself clean from an early age. I've heard that the foreskin is highly innervated (has many many nerves) and removing those nerves diminishes pleasure. Here in California the practive of circumcision is dying out. Most of the younger guys at my gym retain their full natural bodies. Let's hope this unnecessary and useless practice goes totally away. I am sorry for your loss.
Cleanliness is very important. parents need to help their boys learn how to take care of their body properly. You wouldn't have had the issues you had if your parents were more attentive to that cleanliness issue. Also, I agree about babies being circumcised being wrong. I didn't have a choice and I will never know what it could have been like to be uncircumcised.
I was told once by my mother how to clean myself and have done so ever since, you start cleaning from your head down to your toes in that order, also it is important to wash as soon as reasonable after sex this is true for both males and females, and I don't mean you have to jump into the shower immediately after, the next morning is fine, but if you go all the next day without washing then obviously that is not ideal and will lead to problems
You have more sensation around penis area if you are uncircumcised. The fore skin rubbing against your penis cause a sensation feeling.
if you've got an uncut friend, try and smell the scent of an uncut penis, then you comment again here.
Do you being circumcised after years think you have good sexual pleasure? Sorry for the question.

When not done for religious reasons, typically a boy's cut/uncut status is determined on a "like father, like son" basis. And almost always, circumcision is medically unnecessary.
A majority of people in this world are not circumcised! Just wanted to point that out.
Thanks Mr. Obvious!
The lesson of this experience is: Always get a SECOND OPINION!
It’s crazy to hear people say there is no loss of sensitivity; I can’t wear clothes with the skin pulled back because it’s so sensitive, the only way to tolerate the constant rubbing of fabric would be to lose sensitivity.
I think initially it probably feels about the same, but there is no way the exposed gland will remain as sensitive 2 years later.
It does
Yeah the foreskin is there for a purpose, to protect that sensitivity for maximum sexual pleasure.
@@ashamaniq
Even at 12 when my friend told me about how to masturbate the only feeling is on the scar. All I could do is scrape the scar and the head was not in play at all. Not to mention absolutely no feeling in it at all. Eventually the scar became sore red inflamed and swollen and deformed because there was so little feelling. Unlike my friend uncut who was just gliding his forskin to and fro. He then told me about why I was different. Also he had beautiful SENSATIONS...I had ebrations. Anyone who thinks that creating such a disparity between normal natural function to the penis is NOT a severe detriment...is COMPLETELY indoctrinated. For 68 years now what's between my legs is useless. Yes I procreate and my son is intact. However my sex life is never wait was supposed to be. 😡
@@ashamaniq
After 68 years of exposure...not my choice...Dead Wood! No feelings at all. Totally destroyed my sex life. Yes I did have a son and he is uncut.
I grew up in a neighborhood where all the boys were normal natural and intact. I was the freak! Then to have girls who prefer foreskin was crushing! Especially because they said it felt better and came easy. They also like to play with the foreskin Especially because it was fun to cover and uncover the head. They said that it was so wet and fun under the skin as well as velvety smooth unlike a cut tree bark hard one. Leave the boysZzzz alone!
Das 😎 all.
The father should not have pulled his skin back. It’s not supposed to be pulled back to clean until puberty from what I’ve read. Pulling it back before then can cause infection and cause the skin to stick
6:59 important point to remember here. Most adults who have this procedure done, they have it done for medical reasons, such as phimosis, but not religious or cultural reasons. Therefore there is a natural bias when asking whether their sex lives have improved or worsened. If you have phimosis, like you explained, sex can be painful. It will feel like the foreskin is being ripped apart. So after a circumcision, those people will obviously say that their sex lives have improved. But being circumcised you also lose a lot of sensation on your glans. If you didn't it would be extremely uncomfortable to be circumcised, as the glans start rubbing against the fabric of the underwear. This discomfort only goes away when a considerable amount of sensation has been lost, due to the glans no longer being protected by the foreskin.
And that's why a 20-year-old boy's circumcised penis is as sensitive as a 60-year-old uncircumcised guy's.
I have phimosis and thinking to circumcise. But I’m afraid of the lost of sensitivity and discomfort like you said when when glans are rubbing the underwear or cloth. But if I don’t have it circumcise it would be impossible to have sex later on. So it’s been giving me a lot of headache, cause to remove part of your body there is pain and lost.
@@LongNguyen-gq1kq I had phimosis aswell, but the surgeon was able to cut a peace of the foreskin and sew it back on in a way that it loosened and opened up enough that I could retract it. The procedure did leave a scar on the foreskin, but who cares.
@@LongNguyen-gq1kqAs a man who had a circumcision in my 40s, I would tell men to RUN! DON’T DO IT!! NOOOO!!! I lost a LOT of sensation and regret doing it. I did it because my foreskin would get tight at times and it would be difficult to pull back the foreskin. It wasn’t all the time. It would come and go. If I had known what I know now, I would have tried to live with it.
Because the head is now exposed, it is uncomfortable and sometimes painful if I wear boxer briefs. If you do decide to go through with the circumcision, you can wear tight bikini briefs. That’s what works for me. The bikini briefs keeps your “stuff” from moving around, so the head is not rubbing against the underwear when moving around.
Most of the sensation is lost in the prepuce itself. No matter how long I keep my glans covered, it never increases in sensation. It's sensitive to pain and that's about it. 85% of my sensation is in my inner prepuce remnant and it's not much.
Have you ever considered foreskin restoration? Yes it's possible and if you're not already doing it, I suggest you look it it. Makes an great difference.
Good advice. I’m 32 and uncut. My father and his brothers aren’t cut. He taught me as young as age 4 to pull foreskin back and clean. Maybe about 12yrs old I’d consciously try to wear my foreskin back. I never had an issue with a tight foreskin and I think that’s due to my dad educating me early. Sex feels awesome and never had any pain! Most of my previous sex partners didn’t know I was uncircumcised or didn’t care when I told them I wasn’t lol. I’d say if you don’t have a medical issue like phimosis leave your foreskin alone!
How could your sex partners NOT knowing if you are or are you not circumcised?
Whether you have long or short foreskin, soft or hard status, a couple of jerking motions and it's IMPOSSIBLE to misdiagnose.
My Father and Mother decided they wanted me to be uncircumcised. Unfortunately, the hospital did it without asking, as Mother had problems waking up after delivery. The year was 1957, and things were different back then. Sigh, I wish Dad and Mom had gotten their desire.
I wish I were uncircumcised. I think there is a procedure to restore your circumcision, but it is what I heard and never followed up.
Gradual foreskin restoration via stretching is possible, but it can't recreate the other parts lost like the frenulum.
There is a procedure being developed called Foregen that is supposed to restore the entire thing, but it's still a ways off from getting off the ground, and of course is very expensive.
Even back then, they were supposed to get permission. Unless you had a bad sex life or urinary problems, I wouldn't worry about it though.

@@RobertRod818 From what learned of it in my college class, that's too old. You have to start stretching the skin BEFORE your penis begins to grow. You saw this vid I assume. He SAID when he was a teenager he couldn't pull it back despite all the gunk in there.
I love my foreskin! I am so glad my dad took time to understand my body as a childhood, and all my related questions growing up.

I give you a lot of respect for speaking so honestly and shamelessly about all of this. I don't think most men would feel so comfortable talking about these issues so openly. I think it's very helpful for other men to hear you talk about it.
As a man who was circumcised at birth, I was not completely aware of all the things uncircumcised men have to deal with. I found this very interesting and informative and you have a very relatable presentation style.
I still wish that I wasn't circumcised, though. But I'm Jewish, so that was never an option for my parents.
Most men dont have his experience and there is a good chance what his dad did caused the issue.
I agree with you whole heartedly and the individual should be able to make a decision regarding whether to have a circumcision when he’s old enough to decide for himself. Thank you so much for telling about your personal experience. I’m sure it was very difficult,
I'm from a non-religious American family. My parents foolishly (by recommendation of my ignorant natal doctor) had me circumcised at 2 days old. Babies should never be circumcised. That is horrible. A person can be damaged in many ways by circumcision, and it should be up to the individual whether or not to do it. And the list of so-called benefits are a myth. There are no real benefits...and in my personal opinion, it does not look better. I live with my parents' foolish choice everyday, every time I urinate; every time I have chafing; etc.
Chafing? Try using powder and wear cotton briefs. Unless you walk around with a constant hardon, there is no reason for chafing.

In the US, there is still such a stigma about having a natural (uncut) penis and such lack of knowledge and ignorance. Boys and girls should be taught about their bodies . Doctors and fathers should teach their boys the importace of hygiene, natural retraction which occurs for many inpuberty, and general care. There's no reason for cutting forskins unless theres a medical issue. I have read others who regretted circumcision.
@@andytaylor5476 That there is a stigma about it is completely messed up, particularly as the US is first world
US and Saudi Arabia: 😑
Thank you so much for telling it like it really is. My ex husband was circumcised at birth and had almost no feeling in his penis because the head was rough and dried out. He had to work hard to reach a climax, which was painful and unpleasant for me. The intact partners with foreskins since my divorce have had very sensitive penises and the sex has been very gentle and sensual. Two men I know, had circumcisions as adults, and the feeling went down to 10% of what they originally had. They both restored their foreskins with restoration involving stretching methods. One got back 50% of the feeling he had, but the other one was cut right behind the head, so there was no foreskin remnants to stretch and he didn't get as much feeling, but having the stretched skin covering the head has made it more sensitive by keeping the head covered which keeps it moist like it should be. I get very annoyed when the so called "experts" say circumcision stops all those diseases. At one stage the highest death rate for men and women in the USA was AIDS and at the time,
95% of the adult men born there were circumcised.
Oh😮
The STD studies they reference were also done in Africa in some less than ethical ways and are questionable in their conclusions. Especially considering the practice was already well-established for cultural and religious reasons, it seems to me like they just wanted to confirm their existing biases with 'science'. Entire continents are uncircumcised and there is no substantial difference in STD rates compared to the US. Most of the difference comes from education, not getting cut up.
Complete BS lol. Mine was aslo cut at birth and has never had any issues with sex or his penis, comments like these are all anti-cutting propaganda. I will not hear it. I understand the importance of consent but I know stories like this are just meant to scare men.

Great video. I also suffered from phimosis when I that age and it really affected my sex life for a long time. Doctor’s recommended that I have a circumcision too, but I refused. I started a process of stretching - first using a special tool that I found on the internet, and then just using my fingers. After a year or so, my foreskin could easily slide back and forth when soft. It’s still a little tighter than average when hard - but I like it that way, so stopped the stretching exercises.
I think it’s very unfortunate how quick doctors are to recommend circumcision, when there are other options available. Fortunately it does seem that circumcision is starting to go out of fashion.
Thanks for the information bro👍
Do you have any problem with your foreskin now during the intercourse please reply🙏🥺
pls reply
I wish that shaving pubic hair went out of fashion too!
Dude!! you should be a lecturer for young guys. Sexual problems or anything they mat want to talk to you about. You are so well spoken and you would be a grat help to guys groeing up.
Completely agree.
It's wrong to do this to babies. They do it without anesthesia, it's horrific. At that age, all experiences a baby has it perceives as coming from it's mother. Not a good start.
It's wrong to force the skin back on babies and young boys. Your father didn't know any better. But I've heard of nurses trying to do that... anyone can be ignorant.
When someone is dealing with phimosis, or a very tight foreskin, stretching exercises can work. One drop of an oil called squalane can soften the skin a little and help (squalane is naturally present in skin, and that which you can buy is made from olives and has no smell). That stuff is amazing and it's good for facial skin-care too. Only 1 maybe 2 drops is needed.
Phimosis can be avoided if you teach your son do start gently trying to pull the skin all of the way back (if it isn't yet already able to do so) when peeing around age 11. If the skin can fully retract before puberty hits, phimosis can be largely avoided.
If the situation with the tightness is dire, the doctor can make a small incision at the tight part along the direction of the shaft. The skin being tight will pull the incision open, the doctor can then pull the skin together so that the ends of the incision meet, and then stitch the skin together. The middle of the incision become the ends of the stitched together line (Hopefully you can picture in your mind what I am trying to describe.) It can be done so that no skin is removed. If a 1 cm incision is made, it adds 1 cm of skin length going around the penis. 2 small incisions on the sides (1 on each side) is enough to relieve the tension, they can be slightly offset from each other to widen a longer overall section of the skin.
If there is some other reason where circumcision is determined to be necessary, you want to ensure that the seam will end up around 1/3 the length of the shaft away from the head or more. You do not want it to close to the head, as the closer to the head that the cut is, the more sensitivity that will be lost. For an erect average mans penis, you would want the cut to be at least an inch back at a minimum, with closer to 2 inches better. Also the amount removed should not be excessive. One side effect of circumcision is that when the penis is erect, pubes get pulled up on the lower part of the shaft. That means too much skin was removed.
But really, circumcision should be avoided. Pull the skin back when urinating, once you are old enough that it can fully retract. Rinsing with water is sufficient to keep it clean throughout the day (after peeing, if you are able). If you feel like you need to use soap when showering, use a gentle soap and rinse it thoroughly.
Your not the first guy I’ve heard say don’t do it. Thanks for your honesty. We need to stop doing this. Keep posting
Thank you for sharing about this! And I agree; every boy, man, male should have this choice to make for themselves. No doctor or parent should rob them of that.
Really interesting video. I know that for me personally, I like that I'm circumcised and I feel a good deal of sensitivity down there. I know that being uncircumcised isn't a big deal IF you know how to clean it, but if you don't, it is VERY unpleasant when there is a sexual encounter. So if you want to keep it, PLEASE keep it clean for your significant other or sexual partners. Hygiene should be taught by parents and in school because it is very important.
This video should have a hundred times more views since it is so well done and educational. When I was young, I experienced something similar. Hygiene and sexuality are often avoided in education and we learn the hard way at our expense. In my case, the problem was that I wasn't aware the skin could be pulled, so I never really washed it. The consequence, other than hygiene, was that the skin "fused" on the head. One day I was at the doctor for another reason and the doctor took a look and told me about the problem and the solution. That day, I learned. It took around a full year for me to gradually pull it and clean it to the full range so that the skin wasn't stuck on the head. The process was painful like ripping apart the skin, so I was doing a little more each time. At the end, things turned really good and during my teenage years I had a lot of fun with myself. In the past, I tried to keep the skin pulled and what happens is that the head gets dry and becomes more "rough"/less sensible like a more regular skin. Very good video. Thanks for sharing your experience with confidance. I know it is not an easy topic (even though it should be).
Thank you for your bravery, sharing your experience on this painful subject.
I'm sorry to hear you received pressure to have the 'cut' although I'm glad you were at least an adult when this was done.
"Cleanliness" has always come across as a specious argument to me. We don't cut off our toes to avoid toe-jam, our nostrils to avoid boggies or our outer ears to avoid ear wax. We wash them and we teach our children to do the same.
It is sad that involuntary male genital mutilation is imposed on Jewish and Muslim infants and children, based on scriptural interpretations.
What I find really puzzling is why, in that crazy country, the US of A, over 90 per cent of non-Hispanic white males suffer neo-natal genital mutilation. Over 100 years ago it was practiced in a vain attempt to reduce or stop the practice of masturbation. Now it is recognised that masturbation and ejaculation are essential to help maintain a healthy prostate, circumcision should be actively discouraged.
Ozzy, man, your problem began when your dad forcibly retracted your foreskin at 7 years old. It is normal for a boy not to be able to retract his foreskin into his teens, as it naturally separates from the head - it adheres to the head from birth as a protection of the head. Once it was forced, and your foreskin was still tight so you couldn't retract it, all the problems you experienced were the result. And then, of course, the doctor recommends circumcision. :(
And the reason your sensitivity was reduced is not only because of lubrication and roughness, but because the foreskin has 20,000 nerve endings! The head has very few. A man's pleasure is primarily the result of the foreskin rolling back and forth over itself during masturbation and intercourse. That gliding action is also what gives pleasure and comfort to your partner.
Thank you so much for your frank and clear description of your experience. I hope guys pay attention.

@@suli1861 Your condition is called phimosis, and does not require any surgical treatment, unless it constricts the blood flow if pulled back and and is very tight/stuck. The foreskin can be softened and stretched with hydrocortisone cream over time and may make it possible to retract eventually.

I, too, was circumcised as an adult because of phimosis. I tried the creams but still had trouble fully retracting my foreskin. I didn’t make the decision to get circumcised lightly. In the end, I did go for it-you’re right the healing process was the hardest part (surgery was done in like an hour, no problem) because of the night time erections. I would remember waking up and trying to get my erection down so that the stitches wouldn’t pop. I feel fortunate that I got to make the decision about my penis as an adult and wasn’t forced to get cut as a baby. I’ve experienced both in life. I think this decision to be circumcised should be left to men who are old enough to make that decision. In the end, I’m happy with my choice.
Hi, I’m late to this video but I had the exact same thing as this guy. After surgery for the next 2 weeks or so I had such awful pain I genuinely just wanted to die

@@ofcourseuwont nothing, it’s supposed to. It scared me when I felt the stitches pop off but they eventually will come off naturally. So you don’t have to worry about that
I think I was 10 when I had my circumcision. And lucky for me healing was faster than if I had had it done as an adult. About losing some sensitivity or pleasure, I feel that after ejaculation the glans becomes way sensitive anyways so I don't feel I need to feel more than that sensation. Plus, I never get that funky smell that I notice with guys that are uncut. I'm glad I am cut.
@@Fishionista Ppl say when your glans met with fiber like your underwear , tight pant or jeans . It will hurt alot without the foreskin protecting it is that true?
I'm a woman, so I don't know what having a penis feels like. However, men aren't circumcised here in Norway unless it's for religious reasons. But I've been with both, and I simply don't understand why anyone would do that to themselves or their child. There is literally no medical reason for it, and I don't see what the actual benefits would be. Aesthetically I don't care, but practically I prefer a natural one for all the reasons you stated. Honestly an outdated and silly practice. But to each their own.
its big money for hospitals and the cosmetic industry to which they are sold
It's hilarious when circumcised men say they feel no loss in sensitivity when the reality is, the sensitivity loss is not immediate. It's not the foreskin that was the sensitive part, it was what the foreskin was PROTECTING that was the sensitive part. When you lose the foreskin, the glans slowly build skin thickness, decreasing the amount of sensation the glans receive. Except that takes time, it takes time to thicken. It takes years in some cases, and you can't undo that thickness without foreskin. Which is where the "I feel no difference in sensitivity" comes in. They either answered that question a few months after the circumcision, LONG before the glans have thickened, or they answer it years later by the time it has, they just can't remember what it was like before that, so they have no perceived decrease.
You sound like you know what you are talking about but there is an additional consideration: the lack of sensitivity may help prevent the male from having a premature orgasm. Instead, being able to go for a longer time could make the object of his attention feel more fulfilled.
Is it that bad?. Im 15 and I have to have it done for medical reasons and I'm scared.
Not entirely correct. The foreskin itself has a bundle of many nerve endings specifically sensitive to "fine touch".
It should never be inflicted upon a child. It should be their own decision about their own body.

@@garrettgarcia4860 I understand if it's for medical reasons but like Ian mentioned don't rush into it, get several other opinions, ask your doctor about exercises that'll help you stretch the foreskin and gradually pull back naturally.

You won't be getting married anytime soon, this gives you plenty of years to research, educate yourself and prevent an irreversible tragic event.
