Ooo something for me!
I am FORMERLY uncircumcised. I have a skin condition which led to phymosis a few years back forcing me to have a medical circumcision this year.
Uncut is superior in every way. Sex is better, it's more comfortable when exercising, it's generally less of a nuisance. And in Europe, I never had an ick reaction.
If I didn't medically need it I wouldn't have done it. That said, it's better than phymosis, I do last longer in bed, and my partner says it's actually a really nice oral experience now.
Remember: most countries don't have a preference for circumcision, and a lot of people outside of America that are circumcised have it done due to medical issues, not moral or religious reasons.
As someone with similar experience - circumcision due to worsening phymosis as adult - and also in Europe - I feel great right now, felt good before circumcision too (with the exception of the phymosis moment). It's a bit different as a feel (and maybe I last longer now, or self-control got better with years, who knows) but honestly in my case I probably even prefer how it is now, and cleaning up your bits is easier while circumsized.
I'm interested to know if they offered you to just do an incision or not? I have very mild phimosis but they only said I'd need an incision. I'm able to just stretch it out a bit beforehand and it's fine, though I do have EDS so that pawbably why I can.
Mine wasn't mild, unfortunately. Fully pinhole. Luckily, I'm a "grower" so they didn't have to take the whole foreskin and the very base of my glands are still protected (and get stimulated from skin during sex). Stretches were actually counter productive for me (found that out after the skin condition got diagnosed) and likely led to a speeding up of the pinhole nature
That's really interesting, thanks for sharing.
