Personal Testimonials
In this section, men who were circumcised either as infants or
adults - and their partners - have the opportunity to share their experiences.
Since these statements are based on personal practical
experiences they offer a unique insight: after all,
who are in a better position to judge
what circumcision is really like than those who were
circumcised themselves?
Many of the testimonies are by men who were circumcised
as adults and thus have
first hand experience of what life is like both
with and without a foreskin. It is
interesting to note that many of the claims
and allegations about the negative effects of circumcision
are refuted by these personal accounts.
It is the hope that everyone who is interested in the subject -
especially those who are considering to have it done themselves,
as well as prospective parents - find these honest and
well-meant contributions informative and useful.
They will show you that there is another side of the argument - and
that there are many men out there who are very happy
about being circumcised, facts that are
unfortunately all too often absent or overlooked in the treatment
of this controversial subject. These testimonies will
hopefully also help to allay fears and misconceptions about
the procedure, and guide you to make the decision with
confidence.
Many of the testimonies also contain
the email addresses of the writers themselves, so
please do not hesitate to contact them if you have any questions
or remarks.

You know, they said that
circumcision causes trauma and a lack of self-esteem in circumcised
males later in life. If anything, it's the propaganda that's causing
emotional damage. How would you feel if you were a circumcised male,
pleased and happy, but one day ran into people telling you that you are missing
out on so much in life, and that you were "mutilated?"
Shane (added October, 2004).

As such I know first hand the disadvantages a foreskin offers and the liberating feeling of having
the head of the penis exposed for all time. I also can't imagine why anyone would want to
"restore" a foreskin. I wish I hadn't had to wait as long as I did to be circumcised,
but even with the pain associated with having this done as an adult (and there was some pain involved)
I would not hesitate to recommend to any male contemplating having this done to do it!
Don't believe all that anti-circ. stuff on the web.
You'll feel much better being circumcised. I know that I do.

"I really like the way
he did it. I am ever so glad I had it done again. I only wish my
parents would have had it done when I was 8 days old. It would have
saved my a lot of money and a great deal of self-esteem in my early
years. I had my boy circumcized when he was born and I encouraged all
my children to have their sons circumcized when they were born. I am
not Hebrew nor Moslem. I am a scandinavian/German/English background.

"I think my life, and certainly my teenage years, would have been significantly
different if my parents had had me circumcised as an infant. I think I

excess skin that once covered my penis and would encourage any uncut
man to do it without hesitation.
I have never missed my foreskin and don't think I ever will."

"What would I then advise people to when it comes to circumcision?
- Let each boy and man get truthful medical information, and let each
boy or man decide for himself (if possible)! -
I would think though that many teenage boys and men alike would benefit
from this little operation, at least for uncovering the outer part of the glans.
It is not difficult for me to recommend a fuller (or tighter)
circumcision either,
as I myself has experienced this as a very good solution to the foreskin case."
Dag, Norway (posted Oct.99)

"It is hard to say whether, as alleged, the circumcised penis is
slightly less sensitive,
as my memory of the uncircumcised state is fading and I dont see the
point in remembering. In any case, even if it is less sensitive,
which is not proven,
I'm too happy to notice or care. Circumcision does not just take away, but
is also a generous giver. I have abandoned the uncircumcised
sensations, and have received in
their place a new set of sensations that I thoroughly enjoy, love
to explore, and would never have discovered if I hadnt been circumcised.
Moreover, sensitivity is only one
aspect of the matter. When it comes to appearance, hygiene,
and condom-using safety and efficiency, circumcision wins hands down. If
the new reports that it reduces the risk of sexually transmitted
diseases are true
I will gratefully accept that advantage too.
Im also happy to feel part of a long tradition.
If I share being circumcised with (for example)
the ancient Pharaohs, the Jews, and most of the United States,
I have no objection. I will certainly not accept that something
that has given pleasure to millions of
people over thousands of years should be sacrificed to the
self-importance of self-appointed guardians of public morals."

"The only thing that I can say regarding the crusaders
out there is that I'm sorry. Foreskin envy is hard to overcome. But why
should it come to that in the first place? Oh, and by the way, in my 47
years on the planet, I have never experienced any of the problems that have
been stated in anti-circumcision articles...and neither have my sons.
Especially the one who had it done later in life. Two of them have made me a
grandfather... and their boys are circumcised as well. And, yes, they were
present at the event. Anesthesia was utilized, and they report that the
babies slept through it all. No problems there."

"Older men in the nursing homes. My Mother has been in and

various degrees of ability in caring for themselves and various degrees of

I have wondered, if an old man, in the above mentioned mental condition, is
not
circumcised, how is the foreskin kept in a condition that it is not a hot
bed for the growth
of various cultures? If I ever have to go to a care home, I would not want

remember the few who were uncircumcised, and were teased. For the first time,
I understood my mother, and appreciate being circumcised. It was the my only
prove that I was not just Chinese, but an American-Chinese."

"You'll have figured that I'm very grateful to my parents for
having me circumcised. I
I just wish they had talked to me about it sometimes. If I ever have a son I'll
definitely want him to have all the advantages of circumcision like me but
I'll talk to him. For one thing I'll make sure that before he goes to
school he knows he's going to be
different to most of his class-mates and why. I'll also let
him know he can talk to me about it at any time. Later, when I
tell him about the facts of life, I'll tell
him that most girls prefer us cut guys. I'd like to
have had those reassurances while I was growing up but even
without them I sure
have always been "glad to be circumcised"."

"In my view many anti-circumcisionists make two mistakes: 1) they
completely ignore the problems which the foreskin presents to many
uncircumcised men; and 2) they exaggerate the disadvantages of
circumcision, unjustifiably suggesting that circumcised men are sexually
and psychologically crippled. This is an inexcusable disservice to
multitudes of perfectly contented circumcised men, creating much
unnecessary resentment and self-dissatisfaction."

"Recently, though, there has been a great deal of anti-circumcision
propaganda on the web. It is important not to loose sight of the fact that
this is not just directed against the practice of circumcision, but against
the circumcised: we are the enemy. And for good cause! The fact that there
are many circumcised men who do not see themselves as victims, who have not
the slightest regret at what was done to them, and who are very grateful to
be the way they are, drives a coach and horses through the
anti-circumcision argument."

"To many men the idea of either taking care of their foreskins or
even having to look at them on a regular basis is off-putting and they yearn to
have the circumcised look. Many anti-circumcision groups have sprung up in the
last few years, garnered lots of attention and have played into the hands of the
few men who feel disaffected about their circumcised state. To many men, the
foreskin and its restoral have become almost a fetish!!
Certainly, some
circumcised men have something to complain about, having had too much skin
removed making the penis tight and literally dragging the scrotum and testicles
forward up the base of the penis^C. Contrarily, a larger number
of uncircumcised
men (from 1% to 5%) have foreskins that are tight and even unretractable when
they are erect. For many men, the smell of the glans and foreskin, after the
normal course of the day's urination and smegma production, always remains
objectionable and despite washing in the shower each morning and again after any
ejaculation, there is that unmistakable odor. Some men and even less women,
find this collection of odors to be erotic - to most it's an embarrassment."

"The cry goes out that in routine newborn circumcisions there is
a high risk and a lot of
pain and suffering. Well I dont believe newborn circumcision
should be routine. I believe
parents should carefully screen the competence and experience
of the surgeon, as they
would before themselves undergoing any operation. The current
risk of death directly attributable to newborn circumcisions
of one in 16.6 million in the US and as such is hardly
any risk at all and can be further improved by carefully selecting the
surgeon. In
addition the use of an analgesic would render the pain suffered
to the same level of routine infant
vaccinations. Do they really believe parents parents wish to harm
their children?"

"Having experienced life with and without a foreskin, believe me, it is
just so much better if you're cut. For the male the friction is
fantastic , and my wife tells me the feeling of the hard cock head
moving in and out inside her is a major turn on - also just rubbing her
gently on the clitoris with the end of my cock gets her going in no time
- (try doing that with a loose foreskin flapping around). Women almost
universally favour a circumcised penis because they can feel the penis
better inside them, and they much prefer the way it looks. By
comparison, a man with a foreskin having sex is akin to having a shower
with a raincoat on (for both partners)."
