to circumsize or not?

Hello,
    I'm 18 years old and at 15ish I realized that I had an uncircumcised penis. This really bothered me because I realized I was different. I've watched movies where uncircumsized guys are made fun of, and naturally I've tried to keep this a secret. So I never bothered to try to get a girlfriend and at times I even blew off subtle approaches by women for fear that they would find out, and that then everyone else in turn would find out and make fun of me to no end.
    
    I have a few questions. For the women out there ( I guess men can answer this too), do women mind if a guy has an uncircumsized penis?
    I've been trying to do research on the internet on where to get circumsized and if this is the right choice. I don't want to tell my parents because they aren't from this country and it'd be hard to explain. I'm 18 now so if anyone has any information regarding where I could get circumsized in northern new jersey (phone number and preferably address) I'd greatly appreaciate it. Also, does anyone know approximately how much an adult circumcision costs?

     Am I just being paranoid by thinking that women are put off by an uncircumsized penis? I saw an episode of Sex and the City where Charlotte wouldn't have sex with a guy becuase he was uncircumsized. Then naturally, she tells all her friends. Any feedback at all would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

It's funny but in the UK guys are normally made fun of if there penis IS circumcised. I guess it's a culture thing. Personally, I'd rather be uncircumcised as sex feels a lot better.

I'm uncircumcised and I've been with a lot of women.  I've had a lot tell me I'm good in bed, but none complain about it (I don't think some of them even notice).  It baffles and angers me that we're still performing this barbaric procedure in this country.  Consider yourself lucky, I know I do.

I'm not circumcized myself -- I'm 40.  I understand your desire to keep it secret -- I did the same thing.  HERE IS HOW YOU SHOULD LOOK AT IT -- be thankful you are a virgin.  I was a virgin when I got married -- I think in large part because of my fear of people knowing I was uncircumcized as well as my beliefs -- but I beleived I shouldn't do many things but did them anyway.  For me -- looking back it was a blessing.  When I got married at 23 -- for me and my wife -- it was both of our first times -- it is very special.  FIRST OF ALL Be Thankful.

My wife hasn't known anything else since she was a virgin as well.  It hasn't been a problem for her.

I am here because I am looking into it as well -- I have found that as I get older -- I have had problems staying clean all day -- primarily because of bladder issues.

I can't advise you to get circumcized at your age -- I am looking into it myself for the cleanliness issue only.

Yeah, comments like this...I still can`t believe how any female can talk about surgery like circumcision as if it were a haircut. Hopefully since this post in 2006 deprivedteen has not changed his mind and is aware that uncircumcised men in the US are about to be the majority as in most other countries of the world.
