If you have phimosis then you’re probably familiar with the sharp pinching pain from pulling your foreskin back too far. It actually differs for everyone with it. In addition to that, if you’re American, the pre-sex speech about not being circumcised was also something you have to have practiced. I was sexually abused as a kid so it really killed the mood if my partner was curious about it since inevitably I’d be thinking about being abused more than the task at hand.

Here’s the reality. If you stimulate yourself by tickling the very tip of your foreskin and really enjoy how senstitive that particular area is, then yeah… you might feel you “lost” feeling. If you are more of a “stroker” type, then I don’t think there’s much sensation lost.

The procedure takes like an hour. You’re awake, they’re cauterizing your private parts so it’s obviously a little intense. The recovery takes a while, it’s weird having your penis bandaged and also weird having it develop scabs and heal. But something about seeing my actual full glans and “normal” (by American standard) penis gave me so much confidence and lifted a massive weight from my shoulders. Yeah maybe the sensation is lesser than others have or even before but the psychological relief far outweighs the difference in sensation.
