So, I found out something about being circumcised

[boogie]

Well, living in America, my cut serves me just fine

I'd say about half of the girls I've been with have made a positive remark about the appearance of my equipment ( no negatives yet ) and probably a quarter of that half made a comment about their last partner being uncut, and being relieved that I was.

Two of that quarter made a comment about their partners "smelling" bad, which I'll chalk up to poor hygeine. So maybe it is just a stigma against foreskin in the states?

boogie, as most guys in the US (including me) are circumcised, most American women are used to and expect to see cut penises. In the majority of porn, (which the majority comes from the US) most penises are cut. In our country being circumcised is just.. normal... unfortunately.

I also find cut penises to be more attractive, hence why they usually appear in porn, but in the big scheme of things.. does it matter? There really isn't a good reason to be circumcised (they used to claim it was healthier, which it's not). Pretty much everywhere else on Earth, not being circumcised is the norm.

Anyway, we're kinda drifting off-topic.. is there a way to counter what's going on with GTA?

Good post pry. I know there are a few that would like to change that about America. I'm not against circumcision, I'm against infant circumcision. It should be the choice of the individual IMO.

Possibly back on topic- I believe there was a thread relatively recently called 'interesting article about treating penile scar tissue' or something like that. Should come up with a 'scar tissue' thread search. Didn't read it but it could possibly be relevant?

lol what? I edited my post, and it appears twice?? Deleting my second one. Don't worry, nothing special, just a grammar change

Thanks aidan, here is the thread.

Apparently there is a cream called Verapamil that can help soften up scar tissue. GTA you say your scar tissue is harder than the rest of the penis skin? That is interesting since I don't observe any difference of skin texture, even on the scar. It must be different from guy-to-guy (as most circumcisions are).

The article also talks about surgery to remove scar tissue.

Whoa this thread exploded into discussion!

Thanks for all the responses and insight guys, Pry in response to your last post, it really doesn't bother me at all.

It's just something i've noticed after I get out of the shower, or workout. I think with the rapid expansion, the scar tissue got a little irritated but nothing to get worried about.

When i'm flaccid there is no change in texture, and the hourglass shape only happens when i'm cold or exhausted. Upon erection, there isn't a problem.

However if it becomes more prominent with more girth, i'll go see a urologist.
