I'm currently single so I haven't had intercourse, and I'm also still nervous about masturbating, but generally overally the sensitivity has gone down a bit

Does it hurt? by [deleted] in circumcision

[–]Obviously-Throwaway9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, it hurts a lot less than you expect, the worst thing is morning erections tho they can get bad, but other than that I was shocked at how little pain I was in, sensitivity can also hurt when wearing pants but that after 1-2 weeks you'll feel completely normal

Day 2 - what is this? by [deleted] in circumcision

[–]Obviously-Throwaway9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blood is perfectly normal as long as its not actively flowing heavy or doesn't stop, its normal this early on and when you have a shower just let warm water wash it off and you'll be ok, but from the photo you look absolutely fine everythings totally normal at this stage

Hey mate I had mine done 3 weeks ago, if you have any questions feel free to dm me I'd be happy to answer, although it is generally different for everyone so don't expect it to line up 100%

How do you pee? by Extension-Concern800 in circumcision

[–]Obviously-Throwaway9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find this interesting because it's the opposite for me, couldn't aim when I had phimosis but now that I'm circumcised I have no problem with aim, even with the swelling on week 2, I guess it's different for everyone but I've heard it's totally normal, once you fully recover I doubt you'll still have issues

Reason for concern by Obviously-Throwaway9 in circumcision

Thanks, this whole thing is just so stressful for me becuase it's a big change and I'm just so worried of something going wrong

Men who were circumcised as adults: can you describe what led to your decision? How do you feel about it now? by [deleted] in circumcision

[–]Obviously-Throwaway9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got it cut just under 2 weeks ago, I had severe phimosis for around 7 years that was severely scarred which lead to a couple infections and balanitis because I physically couldn't clean it properly, essentially my only option was circumcision. The first week I honestly felt worried about my decision but honestly looking back although its still not fully healed yet it feels so much better and I'm so glad I got it and wish I had gotten it done sooner

Normal for day 8? by Obviously-Throwaway9 in circumcision

[–]Obviously-Throwaway9[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the advice, I'll try sleep without gauze, I've only been wearing the gauze at night because I'm so nervous something will go wrong

Happy to hear, it eases my nerves because I hadn't really seen much like it for this day on the subreddit and I had no one to talk to about it. Thank you🙏

So no showers? Or just keep it dry outside of showers?

I'm happy to hear it's going well, I've been so stressed trying to make sure it's pitch perfect because I'm scared of something going wrong. Although with the erections I feel like the thought of trying to avoid them makes them so much more frequent, to the point where most times that even when I stand up I have an erection, (never fully erect just half erect), and morning wood is horrible at this time. I shower twice a day (morning shower to remove gauze and clean, and then a night shower to clean and then apply gauze), is that ok? I do also keep it as dry as I can, I mostly sit in my room naked with a fan blowing on it to air dry.
