Circumcision reversal?
I want to know if there is a procedure to pull skin back over the head of my penis so that I appear normal (uncircumcised). Like many Americans, I was circumcised at birth and, like many Americans, I have hated every minute of it and wished my parents had cared more about what I wanted than what other people were saying. I am not interested in manual restoration (from what I have seen, it means lots of work and pain and doesn't end up looking anything like a real penis anyway). I saw a plastic surgeon once (I live in LA; they're as available as dentists) and he said it might be possible.
"During one drunken college night- I tried to perform on a girl and was just turned off by it...."
And you should, 'cause that's not normal to have gay sex while drunk. At least make that choice while you are not drunk to know for sure it's for you. I also hope you stopped that practice because you are really asking for trouble and getting a number of STDs when you are influenced by alcohol and your decision making is impaired. This comment and the fact that you want to be circumcised as a woman says a lot about you and how much your decision is based on research and education. Oral sex preference with whoever comes along while drunk is not research. Do you even have any idea what female circumcision means? Look it up. Watch is on youtube. Do your research and get educated.

You can't ask a newborn if he wants to be circumcised or not. It is exactly why parents should wait until the boy/man is old enough to make that decision. He is at the end of the scalpel, I would hope that he is the most important person to make that decision as it is his body that will be affected for the rest of his life. Boys will not cause any type of cancer to any woman before they are sexually active. Personal hygiene and safe practices are part of learning as we grow up. A woman has much more fold of skin and we don't cut it off.
For those who said why you care, you have never known otherwise: This is such an insensitive thing to say. He wants to reverse it because he got educated (as opposed to his parents when they made the decision) and he knows He doesn't want his body to be altered this way. Normal or the way it was designed is always better. It's not for you to say how he should feel about being circumcised. He was robbed of a decision and he is paying the price for something his parents wanted because of what other people told them, not because they had their newborn boy's best interest in life. That he would cause cervical cancer in adulthood is NOT looking at the bests interest of him. A baby, a boy can't do that. By the time he can, he is old enough and educated enough to know what he wants for his body.

SUMMARY of the article @ http://www.circinfo.net/
Circumcision of males represents a "surgical vaccine" against a wide variety of infections, adverse medical conditions and potentially fatal diseases over their lifetime, and also protects their sexual partners. In experienced hands, this common, inexpensive procedure is very safe, and can be pain-free. Although it can be performed at any age, the ideal time is infancy. The benefits vastly outweigh risks.
The public health benefits are enormous, and include protection from urinary tract infections, that are common over the lifetime, inferior genital hygiene, smegma, sexually transmitted HIV, oncogenic types of human papillomavirus, genital herpes, syphilis and chancroid, penile cancer, and possibly prostate cancer, phimosis, paraphimosis, thrush, and inflammatory skin conditions such as balanitis and balanoposthitis. In women circumcision of the male partner provides substantial protection from cervical cancer, genital herpes, bacterial vaginosis (formerly termed "gardnerella"), possibly Chlamydia (that can cause pelvic inflammatory disease, infertility, and ectopic pregnancy), and other infections.
Circumcision has socio-sexual benefits and reduces sexual problems with age and diabetes. It has no adverse effect on penile sensitivity, erectile function, or sensation during sexual arousal and is reported to enhance the sexual experience for men. Most women prefer the circumcised penis for appearance, hygiene, lower infection risk and sexual activity. At least half of all uncircumcised males will develop one or more problems over their lifetime caused by their foreskin, and many will suffer and die as a result. The benefits exceed the risks by over 100 to 1, and if fatalities are taken into account in men and their sexual partners the benefit is orders of magnitude higher than this. Given the convincing epidemiological evidence and biological support, routine circumcision should be highly recommended by all health professionals.
Much much more worthwhile info at the above link...just maybe God does KNOW a little bit more than the rest of us..espec those who 'think' they have all the answers for every thing known to humanity.
After thousands of years of doing our 'own thing' and making such a mess of it, you'd think we'd be more inclined to listen to His wisdom??
Maybe we should be advocating infant penile circision instead of the female vaccination against cervical cancer caused by the human papiloma virus, which has NO guarantee except to stuff up a woman's immune system further and leave behind more human interferance footprints in the human DNA pool...just my thoughts

I hope this sheds some VALUABLE information to this post and helps many men & women with the whole debate on circumcision

Sorry, but the Jewish roots of circumcision go way back to Abraham and the 'covenant' requirement of God to do such. It has nothing to do with masturbation or any other sexual activity..but to separate the Jewish ppl from all others..however fyi it has been found that medically the 8th day is the most ideal day to perform circumcision, for the health of the child there is less likelihood to bleed excessively or infection in the new wound, other things that i cannot recall..in Biblical/Jewish history the no.8 is also the covenant number which also represents an eternal covenant with God & those performing the circumcision..in fact they used to cut around the base of the wedding ring fingers of the 2 marriage partners and mingle their blood as an eternal covenant..perhaps we need 2get back 2 that kind o thinking?? Also, i have heard over & over that it is healthier for both husband & wife..(i have my own theories as to why it is called 'foreskin' & why God required it) : )
Please don't play the blame game..most people have body issues of some kind, i can think of much worse, learn to forgive and love yourself as you are, the right woman will love you for WHO you are..and you are much LESS likely to find any woman if you live in the 'poor me' syndrome, & you are likely to attract the wrong person..i feel more sorry for people who suffer with self pity than a circumcised penis..i personally think asthetically circumcised is more attractive, just my personal preference..either way doesn't seem to make any functional difference, some seem to argue on that point tho' : |
I still think if you can just accept yourself as you are you will do just fine in a relationship..most dysfunction is caused by anxiety...best of luck KLB

It doesn't make a difference sexually? You really think that?
Circumcision removes a massive amount of nerves that can never be regrown, and the constant exposure of the glans further desensitizes things.
Me and my first girlfriend lost our virginity together. I loved her very much, but I couldn't have an orgasm with her until the 4th or 5th time weeks later. She was beautiful and smart, and thoroughly convinced she just wasn't good enough because it was always so difficult for me to have an orgasm with her.
As a cut guy gets older he's only capable of orgasm through harder, and rougher sex.
Yes, it's been done for thousands of years. You know the ancient egyptians circumcised their slaves? You think they had the best interest of their slaves in mind?
The ideal behind circumcision in the Jewish faith is centered around reducing pleasure to stop masturbation. It's no different to some of the types of female circumcision.
It's a barbaric crime against human dignity.

STDs can't be transmitted by casual contact, like hugging or touching.
Syphilis is an STD that is transmitted by oral, genital and anal sex.
Discharge often isn't normal, and could mean an infection or an STD.
Chlamydia, an STI, often has no symptoms, but must be treated.
Bumps in the genital area might be STDs, but are usually not serious.
Get the facts about this disease that affects more than 240,000 men each year.
