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.

First off never think your different or bring yourself down about being who you are. You are neat and will find a girl who thinks so as well. If a girl only looks at you as your penis then she is wrong and well rude. I myself do not mind, that's my point of view. Every girl is different in what they like and dislike. I just know you don't need to be with a girl who only likes you for your southern parts. When you do met a girl and she is the one who loves you for everything you are then show her. I guess don't keep it from her at all but talking about it is better sometimes then just having sex if she is ok with it and likes you then you have a great girl on your hands. The best of luck to you if you need any help just let us know and we will be happy to help. Feel free to be open with us.
My boyfriend is uncircumsized and I have no problem with it at all. Actually me and my friends were talking about this one day and we think it is better if you are not circumsized. There is nothing to be ashamed of. I think at this point it is too late to get it done. I believe that the US is one of the few places that does this around the world. The only reason they started circumsizing males was b/c back in the day people didn't take showers as much and this way it was cleaner. As long as you pull the foreskin back and keep it clean there is nothing to worry about. I had never seen an uncircumsized penis before my bf and I it isn't that much different. Don't worry about the women will love you.
My husband is uncircumcised and there is NO difference whatsoever. None, nada, zip, zero. Don't worry about it. Having it done at your age will hurt like crazy. My husband's brother had it done when he was 18 and it was not a fun time AT ALL!
I don't think it really makes a difference either way...and like someone else mentioned, it shouldn't be that big of a deal. Don't put stock in Charlotte from Sex in the City, her character is prissy.
Talk to a dr, ask a lot of questions, take a lot of time to consider what you are doing, and if the risks of surgery are worth it.

I say get it done- you will recover- it will heal- you will feel better about yourself and come out of your shell- don't be afraid, it will be worth it from what you say it has done to your personality to be uncircumcised- really! a blink in time is worth a lifetime of confidence!
For many women, they fear what they do not know. Many women in this country have never seen an uncircumcised aroused adult male. Misconceptions abound as to what "it" is like, and often the descriptions are nasty and exaggerated. An adult male who keeps himself clean by retracting and cleaning the smegma (NOT necessary for infants/children) will have no problems with women as long as they are not too frightened by the wild stories they might have heard.
When erect, they all look the same anyway. Penises are funny looking fellows under the best of circumstances! Keep yourself clean and always use condoms for intercourse anyway.
You may hear horror stories about awful things that may happen to you if you do not circumcise. Bear in mind that the natural state of the penis is uncircumcised, and the vast majority of the developed world is uncircumcised, and happily so. But--it is clearly a decision that YOU are capable of making now that you are an adult. Do it if YOU want to. There is no other reason unless you are having physical problems.
If this is really something you want to do, you need to approach an urologist and discuss the hows, why's, and how much questions. It's more involved for an adult or older child, because adequate anesthesia and anaglesia is used for the operation in the adult.
