Why do Some Circumcised as Adults Claim to Prefer it?

Sorry about the link you can still copy and paste it though, It's about a man that fixed his pinhole phimosis without circumcision. Though it's usually just a preputal opening that's too small that causes problems I know there can be other problems with the foreskin but I usually don't see any of these issues being presented in any circ arguments. What else can cause problems with foreskin?
[/QUOTE]

The usual culprits are infection of various types which don't respond to any of the usual treatments, easily torn mucosa (happens more often than intactivists think), various cancers of the tissues involved. These are all true clinical situations in their own right, sometimes further complicated by true phimosis, so ....

It's unfortunate though that we don't see much technical data on this though, like I haven't seen anything about torn mucosa, or much about infections other than fungal or occasionally bacterial and I have heard about the possibility of increased risk of cancer but even so it would be nice if doctors would do their jobs to heal the patients by finding alternative solutions instead of "lets just chop that off". Circumcision should be a last resort solution instead of the go-to patch job, ya know what I'm sayin?

Hello, I'm from europe (spanish). I'm new user of this forum. I was circumcised three years ago, with 26 years, now I'm 29. Ok I know the reason why they say that. I spoke with my friends. Some have been circumcised but other not. The friend wich has been circumcised told me he felt the same. I spoke more with him about this issue. He only feel some seconds before ejaculation. Before and after circumcision. I spoke with other friend, which hasn't been circumcised, about what he feel when practice sex or masturbation. He also only feel ejaculation.
why? because there are other forms to lost the feeling on glans. For example: wash the glans, masturbate strongly or touch the glans.

The glans isn't the most sensitive area of the penis. So it doesn't matter how you "touch" it, certainly washing it won't have an effect, nor masturbating (use lube), or anything else. Individual sexual response is just that, individual. THERE IS NO ONE MODEL OUT THERE, NOT IN CIRCUMCISED GUYS OR INTACT GUYS.

I was cut as an adult and I NEVER was happy with it. In fact I knew as soon as the anesthesia wore off that I had made a HUGE mistake. The pain was unbelievable. [/QUOTE]

I can relate to this! I was circumcised at age 30 and I had this horrible feeling of doom as they took me out of the operating room. A nice nurse must have noticed and told me the worst was over and I remember my exact words as I told her "Oh no. The worst has just begun." I had no idea how true those words would turn out to be.

Hi all! This is my first post here and my adult circumcision story. This operation is rarely done in my country. But it so happened that I had to do as many as 3 operations in adult. I would never have done this if I had more information then. For example, if I had found this forum earlier... But unfortunately, the past cannot be returned.
I had phimosis for a long time as a teenager. It was cured almost completely by the age of 20. But still was a short frenulum. I didn't know that is possibly stretch it. Therefore, it was decided to make frenulothomy at the age of 21. I also had a tendency to balanopostitis sometimes. Some of the doctors I spoke to suggested circumcision as a treatment. Also I had two circumcised friends in childhood and they spoke that it was better. Although they had nothing to compare with... I have often thought about it. And one time I had a difficult period in my life and in a relationship. Maybe a midlife crisis. I wanted to change something in myself. And at 37 years I decided it was my turn now.
This was done with a device Pre-pex. But it wasn't entirely successful due to inflammation. The wound healed for a month and the result was a wide, rough scar. This did not like me and it was decided to do it again in a plastic surgery clinic. Expensive but with a good "aesthetic effect" as they promised. This was done 2 months after the first one. Second time it healed faster, the scar is smaller. But due to the removal allmost all inner skin (low tight circumcision), sexual sensitivity has greatly decreased. But at the same time, there remains an unpleasant feeling of dryness and irritation due to rubbing against clothes. There is also a slight swelling near the urethra for six months already and some problems with urination. If a talk about the loss of skin, then at first it was CI 8-9, after the first circ there were about CI-4, and now only CI-2. It took me about 4 months after that to finally understand that this was a very big mistake. The result is depression and disappointment. I started looking for reviews from people who has similar problem. Finally found this forum. I wish more people knew the consequences and didn't make this mistake.

Welcome! Sorry to hear about what happened to you. As you say, the past is past. But it is not too late to restore if you want to. and I have high confidence you will find it beneficial.

Best Regards

These pics show the result 6 months after the surgery. I have already tried to tug but I have still pain and swelling in the scar area.

Maybe your skin is still healing, I would be careful.

I found out that the friend who had the circumcision had not masturbated before doing it

This is good. He won't have to learn to do it in a new way. :)
