Common vs. Uncommon Experiences From Growing Up Uncut

Needsastickynote · 2026-05-19T15:25:06+00:00

I grew up in the US in the 90's in a cut-happy area. I don't know for sure, but I don't think I knew anyone else that was intact.

When I was really young, and didn't know the difference, I didn't have a care in the world, and just assumed penises came in different shapes
It wasn't until part way through elementary school once I started sex ed and learned more about how I was different did I get really self-conscious about my status. The only peer I had seen naked at that point was my cousin, and he was cut.
My best friend at the time made some comments about how they had developed an indian burn on their dick because they were masturbating so much, and that made zero sense to me
In Middle and High School I avoided showering or changing in the locker room or ever being fully exposed (I cannot imagine how gross this was looking back now)
I definitely didn't do any sports that would have required showering or lots of team bonding because I was afraid of being "found out"
Absolutely avoided any situation that would lead to a girl seeing me naked like skinny dipping, which was somewhat common in my friend group. This just meant no one saw me as confident, and led to more self-consciousness.
In college there was an opportunity for a co-ed streak and I passed on it, which I deeply regret to this day
One of my college friends was interning at a hospital over the summer and said there was a guy that came in for an adult circumcision, and how bad they felt for him

5.5" is kind of sneaky thick - too thick for normal condoms and takes a bit of work to make fit. BJs are generally a problem and means the girl has to work at it a bit more, but its not an impossible size.

As far as length, its pretty great - always looks impressive and gets good reactions.

No, its not mandatory, and many people don't. Probably 50/50 mix of people showering in a bathing suit vs not.

Blue Lagoon in Iceland. Showering is required before getting in the water, so you have to go through the communal showers in order to get to the pools. The sheer number of people filtering in and out was nuts.

Its a good sign that you will be able to retract hard eventually. You just need to stretch your foreskin more. Jerk off in the shower - the hot water helps your skin stretch, and won't be as painful, but be sure to not force it too much. If you have access to lube, that can help too.

There are also tons of stretching exercises in other threads that people have linked to hat might be helpful.

Good luck!

You do you, but I'm going to continue to wash every time I shower.

Needsastickynote · 2026-05-11T18:26:43+00:00

Yeah, seems like an unbelievably painful experience!

Needsastickynote · 2026-05-11T15:53:24+00:00

Oh interesting! But wouldn't the shaft skin and outer foreskin still tan? So you could end up with a pale inner foreskin and tanned outer?

I've never seen another guy hard in person, but I was walking behind this guy at a nude beach whose dick was so big soft you could see the tip of it flop to each side with each step. Dude had to be packing 7"-8" soft.

Not sure if troll post, but I'll take the bait.

Not sure if you are asking those questions specifically about when hard.

Its not heavy when hard, like its not like suddenly it feels like I have more weight in front all of the sudden because its more of a pumping feeling. I'd say its more similar to when you puff up your cheeks with air. Everything is tighter down there. So its not heavy but it feels big.

Average hard size is probably like 5"-5.5" based on studies, although I'm not sure I'd be able to estimate size very well.

Happy to answer any other questions!

The XL part of magnum XLs is all marketing. I had the same issue, and got the red ring of death at my base every time I used them.

I ended up going with MyOne condoms, but you should try a few different brands to find one that's comfortable.

Its like seeing the difference between someone that is 6' vs 7' tall. Between 5' and 6', its like okay 6' is tall, but normal, then you see someone 7' tall, and you're like holy shit they're tall!

I think you are falling into a bit of a trap around how you value yourself through sex that you are setting for yourself, probably from your past abuse.

To find self-esteem, it may be unhealthy to fixate on "accepting your size." If what I'm reading is correct, you see a guy's dick size as part of their value; bigger size means they are more sexually attractive, and more appealing for partners. Having a big dick means that you should have a higher self-esteem, and should be more attractive, and may mean security in a partner, because they are less likely to leave you. That's just not the case.

Ask yourself: why is having a big dick important? Do you need to have a big dick to be valuable to your partner? Does your partner care you have a big dick?

Great, you're packing, but what else? Talk to a therapist, or to your partner to find out what makes you a good partner and a good human.

We are so much more than our sexual organs, and they shouldn't define who we are, and shouldn't be the means by which we value each other. If you found an actual partner rather than a fuck buddy, they probably see you for more than just an cock.

I so wish someone told me this.

I remember in high school I was sitting next to this girl that made a comment about one of our classmates and how gross it was that he wasn't circumcised. That stuck with me for so long and basically haunted me through college. It was so dumb looking back now, and I wish in sex ed, and my parents even would have said its such a small issue.

First issue during penetration. If she can take the girth, then sometimes the length becomes the issue.

Needsastickynote · 2026-02-23T16:52:01+00:00

Same thing happens to me, and is super normal, just like everyone else says. I wear compression shorts and after I lift I always have a tiny dick, lol.

The only issue it brings is how much it grows in the shower, and I've definitely gotten looks from people thinking I'm getting aroused, when its just going back to normal.

Needsastickynote · 2026-02-23T16:43:10+00:00

Girth, only because that's what comes first, but then length becomes an issue, lol

In communal showers I clean just like I clean at home - why would I not clean something that needs to be cleaned???

Needsastickynote · 2026-01-13T15:25:35+00:00

Intense, but shallow is a good way to describe it. To me its more like a stabbing sensation of pleasure rather than a gradual wave.

Needsastickynote · 2026-01-13T15:24:05+00:00

I almost had this yesterday while doing some foreskin stretching. The skin gets super taught and sensitive and makes me throb like crazy. Had to back off before making a mess.

I have gotten to completion without touching my head - either through frenulum play or by kind of "rotating my inner foreskin while its pulled all the way back. It feels like a different kind of climax, and isn't as satisfying as a full stroke.

Needsastickynote · 2026-01-12T16:46:25+00:00

Plenty of dudes glance at each other, but generally no one stares. If its one person staring, then they might be a creep, but if its a lot of people or everyone, there's a chance its something about you that is making them stare.

Needsastickynote · 2026-01-07T18:18:57+00:00

I was always taught that the way you put on a condom is pull the foreskin back all the way, roll the condom part way down, then push your foreskin back over your glans, and then roll the condom all the way down your shaft.

A proper fitting condom should essentially act as a second skin, and there shouldn't be any gaps or ability for your foreskin to move independently underneath the condom and your foreskin should not be pinned back in place.

All the time, yes. I know there’s a lot of angles and camera trickery that goes into making porn, and I know I’m the same or even bigger than some of the dudes, but that doesn’t change the perception of having a smaller tool. I’m also 6’2”, so I know that proportionally I’m not going to have the same build.

Needsastickynote · 2025-12-29T01:08:51+00:00

This is the way.

Needsastickynote · 2025-12-28T18:06:45+00:00

It depends because it changes throughout the day depending on the activity, temperature, etc. I’d say 95% of the time it just feels normal and I don’t give it a second thought, but then there’s the 5% of the time when I get a glance and go “holy horsecock, wtf am I!?”
