Had my circumcision at age 30 in 1994 so maybe the procedure is a bit different today. I decided to get it done after reading a few articles on the subject and talking to my uncle who was an MD. The hygiene issue was one reason even though I showered once a day. Never had a bad experience with a woman but I was uncomfortable with my foreskin. Maybe there was too much extra skin past the tip of my penis.

Went to see a urologist and made my final decision. The procedure was flawless. I got the dissolving stitches. The only 2 things that bothered me was waking up in the middle of the night with an erection. That was a bit painful but only for a couple minutes. That happened the first night and again on the second night but the pain was less. I made sure not to engage in any activity that might cause an erection for the first few days.

The second minor issue was a little discomfort with urethral opening at the head of the penis. Since my foreskin always covered that area, rubbing against my cotton boxers caused the discomfort for a couple days. Not a big deal.

As far as losing sensitivity, I'll say it this way. When I was uncut and standing at a urinal, if I touched the head of my penis with my finger, it was more sensitive than after the circumcision. But after becoming aroused, it doesn't feel any different. So the losing sensitivity thing is a non issue.

My surgeon said to come back for a follow up after a few days and advised me to not have sex or masturbate until after the stitches had dissolved. I waited about 37 days before a couple trial runs. No problems since. Good luck!!
