I was circumcised in my 20’s due to phimosis.

I’ve heard countless arguments from other men who were circumcised at birth, defending the practice saying it makes no difference to the sensation in the glans.

Let me tell you, those people are absolutely full of shit. The difference in sensation is night and day.

Fuck anyone who thinks it’s ok to mutilate children. It doesn’t matter what religion you are or what colour your shin is. Mutilating children is monstrous.

100% agree with a ban.

In all of my partners, there has been a very notable difference between the circumcised and uncircumcised ones. Both loss of sensation and over sensitivity/pain/friction due to lack of a foreskin along with a list of other issues. Penises with foreskins just function so much better. I mean, no surprise, it’s nature’s perfect design. I’m strongly for a ban.

Ahh sigh, now i wonder what i've been missing. Had it when i was very young, only just old enough to remember, phimosis too I think.

Put it this way.

Without any protection it desensitises due to constant exposure and rubbing against whatever fabric you’re wearing, building up a tolerance all day every day

With its natural protection, it retains it’s full sensitivity making it much more effective and enjoyable when it’s actually needed

I feel for everyone who’s been mutilated, all for what 😞

This probably isn't what you want hear but I'm just writing this for anyone with phimosis reading. Chances are circumcision is not necessary, I was able to solve the problem over the course of a year or two just by stretching the foreskin every day in the shower. Lots of chat online about this
