Do (m)any of you have an aesthetic preference for circumcised?

[Agamemnon]

(Sorry my last post was inappropriate--I'd forgotten about all of you at work.)

I'm curious to gather opinions on this, as I'm scheduled to have the 'op. gulp

It is genital mutilation, typically carried out on small children who can't choose (obviously there are medical exceptions). How does everyone feel about FGM? Obviously FGM is more severe, but cutting off any part of a child seems an odd thing to do.

Uncut definitely!

Had a partner who had been cut as a man and he had lost a lot of sensitivity. He had to pump long and hard (which believe me, just becomes uncomfortable after a while).

Dp is circumcised due to childhood balanitis- I will be honest I prefer it aesthetically but I don't agree with cutting unnecessarily.

I think someone mentioned this before, but genitals of any sort aren't really the most aesthetically pleasing things :D Unless they're being put to good use, that is.

But having sex with or handling, definitely uncut. My first few boyfriends were cut and when I came across an uncut dick I had no idea what to do with it. I was really worried about hurting anyone by pulling the foreskin back when wanking :/ Turns out, much easier to handle.

And smell/cleanliness. Well I wouldn't really want to go down on anyone who'd just come back from a long day at work. And I should hope most men have a good idea on how to wash themselves in the most effective manner.

See, I know that I prefer cut and all my 'lessons' as a pretty young thing were on a cut penis so I'm a lot more confident with them when on the pilgrimage south, but at the same time I find myself really conflicted because obviously what kind of awful hypocrite prefers mutilated over non-mutilated, it goes against everything I believe in and against the thought process I base all my opinions on. It isn't a deal breaker for me, but then again lots of things i think are deal breakers day to day, are actually completely irrelevant when it comes down to it! Example- I appreciate a ripped torso, but in the same way I appreciate a nice painting or a Danish pastry, very enjoyable but not really useful when DTD! (Am I weird/wrong in that respect??)

Uncut for moral reasons BUT every boy in my family (I don't have a DS and if I do, I won't circumscribe fwiw) has been circumscribed for religious reasons, including DH. Aesthetically, I also favour uncut but that didn't get between me and DH!

I know this thread was old but I much prefer cut if we're talking about seeing a guy walking around nude.

Could be because my ex was a "grower not a shower" and thus had the excess foreskin for growing. It hung off the end in a collection of droopy skin... so not sexy.

For function though, no preference, except as others said, manual stimulation is less messy on an uncut man (cut = lube/saliva = mess).

Would a penis beaker be required for a circumcised penis or not ?

Err, male poster who has had op, I hope you arent feeling too down about yr op recovery. I say this because on your part of this thread more women are preferring circumcised. But you need to understand that to almost all women it makes absolutely no difference to attraction, which is about the man and not his cock.

TongueTwist Thanks - little bit better today but my eyes will probably be watering for another week or so

KoalaKoo - Yes most women do seem to prefer cut - I was just pointing out that, in my experience, I'd never come across any girls expressing a preference for uncut until after my op and I saw this thread lol.

Doesn't matter though - I'm doing this for myself at the end of the day. As I said in my OP I grew up thinking that uncut penises were what little boys had and when you grew up you got the circumcised look because all the older male members of my family were circumcised. I wasn't & neither were any of the boys I saw in the showers when I was at school & this further reinforced the uncut = little boy's penis thing.

When I grew up, this made me self conscious & I've even felt uncomfortable walking around nude in front of a partner. There was nothing wrong with my penis before - probably looked like most other penises in this country - I could pull the skin back ok and I never, never had any hygiene problems with it whatsoever. All this, of course, leads people to think I'm barking mad for having had it done. I'm really happy with it - I'm not exactly going to flaunt it to the rest of the world or anything but I already feel less self conscious of it even in its current swollen, bloody, bruised state and I've been quite happy for my partner to have a good close look at it whereas I'd have pulled away from that situation before the cut.

I guess I feel liberated My only slight concern is loss of sensitivity but since I always wore my foreskin pulled back, the head is quite toughened up anyhow. Besides, having a permanently pulled back foreskin used to get in the way during sex and I'd often lose my erection due to the discomfort of it so I'm actually expecting an improvement in that department. Furthermore, they've left the frenulum intact so I still have a nice sensitive bit remaining.

Unfortunately, I'm not going to be able to put any of this into practice for at least another 4-6 weeks when the scar has healed
