I used to be very proud of my genitals. I play with them all the time, sometimes not even sexually. But recently, I've become super uncomfortable with being circumcised. I look at my scar and feel shame and resentment over the fact that I didn't have a say in whether or not I got to keep that skin. I'm starting regrowing it. But truth is, I think I'm in my own head about this one. Not many people see my penis so I can easily fall into self pity loops like this. If any of you are willing to look at it and give me your honest opinion on my appearance, please PM me.
The only thing that changed about you is the circumcision but not to minimize it. The scar will heal and maybe shrink a bit. It may even be a point of interest for some girls actually, you never know. I didn’t PM you like you asked but if you feel you have to, go ahead. Unless it’s very ugly and turn off, it smells horrible, there is nothing to worry about.
A foreskin protects the glans from sunlight damage and helps maintain glans sensitivity. I wish I still had my foreskin for these reasons. A long time ago, I taped my shaft skin for a few months and evidently loosened it up. Right now, sitting as I type, my glans is totally enclosed inside the shaft skin and has been all morning, even while walking around naked, inside and outside. But that's because my penis has retracted in the cool morning air and sitting position.
I was circumcised as an infant and know no difference. What I do know is many of the women I've been with like the look of my cock. They tell me how nice it looks and feels. Are they telling the truth? Maybe not but too many have complimented me and my penis as to the look of it to doubt them all. If I wasn't circumcised would I get the same compliments? I can't answer that because don't know. But I do know that my cock gives me a lot of pleasure when I have sex. I think I'll just keep it as it is. Rock, you are definitely in your head over being circumcised. Get over it and return to being proud of your equipment. Play with it, enjoy the feelings it gives you, and stop the guilt trip. The scar is nothing to be concerned about. It is what it is. Just a scar and a mark on your body of your lifes journey. Display it proudly and appreciate the pleasure your penis gives you.
I think a lot of the insecurity and self-loathing a lot of circumcised guys have these days is the result of anti-circ "Intactavists" who seem dedicated to eradicating the practice by convincing fellows that their dicks are broken because they don't have foreskins. All the research that has been done, including a recent uber-hi-tech one involving thermal imaging scanners and micro-filament touch tests, etc., shows there is no measurable difference between circumcised and uncircumcised penises in terms of pleasure and/or performance. I don't think it's a coincidence that Intactavists are always either women or guys snipped at birth. As for me, I was born on the legendary Tennessee commune The Farm, and got circumcised by Ina May Gaskin herself! I always thought if I ever ran into her I'd compliment her on doing such a nice, neat job.
My penis is circumcised and a really wish it wasn't but I'm not upset that I'm cut. I've spent some time restoring but I've given that up at least for now. I do very much wish I had more, the bit more I've restored feels so much better, but I don't have the ambition to continue to restore right now. When my boys were born and docs asked and told us about the "benefits" of having the boys cut. I didn't believe any of it made sure they weren't mutilated. I personally don't get upset about being cut because what's done is done and I can't go back. I can only go forward and make the best of what I have.
I’ve been restoring for almost 2 years. I diligently worked at it and now I have 3/4 glans coverage when soft. I use the manual tugging method along with a retainer.
I'm happy being cut. My wife handled more than a few penises in her dating years and only experienced a couple of uncut ones. The only difference she noticed was giving hand jobs. They weren't better or worse, just different. Intercourse was no different for her.
