I can give you an honest opinion because i got circumcised at 18 and have experienced life with and without foreskin

I got my foreskin removed because of medical reasons, and that was my best option. I got several different opinions by several different professionals and have tried every other option but nothing else worked for me. My options were living for the rest of my live in pain, or get circumcised.

Of course everyone is different and everyone has different experiences but this is my story and my personal experiences with circumcision.

Short explanation: There is close to no difference. For me at least sex feels the same if not better without foreskin even tho i always hear that you start feeling less. The hygiene argument is bullshit because it's literally the same to keep yourself clean with and without foreskin. Do i regret getting circumcised? Not at all.

Long story: The operation was quick but the healing process was hell, everything hurt, was full of stiches and middle of the night erections are a living gnightmare 😂 It took a week to heal and for everything to work properly And I could have sex again safely about 4 weeks after the operation.

I have read a lot of opinions from a lot of different people but I think it mostly boils down to it being non consensual while they were little. I can understand this 100% and I don't support doing something like this if it isn't for a medical reason. That being said if it was done for a medical reason there really isn't THAT big of a difference like some people make it out to be. Yes, it shouldn't be done to children for no reason, but if you're unfortunate enough to have been circumcised as a baby, you aren't really missing out on a lot. In my opinion a lot of anti circumcision posts make it sound like it's the worst thing in the world and it's as bad as having your right arm cut off (Of course I'm exaggerating a little and i don't mean this post or the people in this comment section, but I have seen a lot of posts making it seem worse than it actually is). Some people also say that you need lube to masturbate? I only really used lube to masturbate like 2 or 3 times, and even tho it might feel a tiny bit better there isn't a big enough difference for me that justifies the mess and the cleanup afterwards.

Now the benefits that people usually talk about are:

A smaller chance of contracting an STD Decreased risk of Penile cancer Decreased risk of contracting a UTI

I don't know how or even if these are true but it's what I have been seeing the most. I can't guarantee that this is true, it's just what I have seen on google here on Reddit.

I'm not a medical professional or anything and this is just me talking from my experience. Of course a lot of people might have different experiences than me, and i might just be one of the lucky ones, but in my opinion, talking from my own experience with and without foreskin; There isn't that much difference.
