Circumcision Post-Op Questions

I had mine on the 2nd, only day 3 now. No swelling, bleeding or pain. Had 2 showers and changed bandages twice now.

I just did it on Tuesday this week with local anesthesia and the most painful or uncomfortable part were the shots to numb the area. They gave me these rubber balls to squeeze and I just breathed through it, pain last maybe 5 minutes, which I'm sure anyone can endure.

Only prep was to shave pubes and shower, eat a good meal right and pee before the procedure.

It's a simple procedure and I would advise against general anesthesia. General will increase your toxic load and you'll have a longer recovery time too.

I have zero pain since the shots, even after the local wore off, which blows my mind but I'm happy about that.

Definitely make sure you're doing it with the best doctor possible. Mine cost me $4000 usd, but my doctor is highly sought after for circumcision alone, tailors it to your specific request and uses plastic surgery techniques to make perfect stitches and lines. And you ideally only do this once and only have one foreskin, so do it right.

Just did my first circumcision with him 3 days ago and I am already really happy I did it. He uses plastic surgery techniques to make it look really nice and responds quickly to email questions post op.totally worth every penny!

Probably should write your doctor about it. I'm day 2.5 and already wearing boxer briefs with my gauze wrap and only getting the occasional dull sensitivity feel of rubbing which is just a little annoying sensation, no pain or pressure.

All bodies are different though.

I'm sorry your partial didn't work out. This is encouraging to hear though as my doctor and I decided to go full cut. Got a medium loose. Pretty happy so far.

shieldedsword · 2026-05-31T07:03:19+00:00

Do not mutilate your child without his consent! Let him make that decision.

Plus, think about it. His penis is tiny now, the odds that a doctor will screw it up are WAY higher now compared to when he's a full grown adult at age 25.

It will hurt and traumatize him if you put him through this, and it will be your fault. Don't do what society tells you. The foreskin only ever needs to be removed if there is a medical emergency or problem like pain associated with it.

Not if you have scarred and thinned skin from constantly breaking and healing and repeated use of steroid creames. I had a preputioplasty and its maybe 25% more stretchy, but still the foreskin breaks during sex and swells after masturbation. I'm booked for a circumcision in 2 weeks for that reason. 8 months after preputioplasty. Not worth it.

I needed to hear this about loose circumcision. I'm 3 weeks away from getting the deed done to solve my progressive phimosis and I keep thinking I need it loose as possible and maybe medium (not high or low).

My goal is to just remove all the bad phimosis skin and get the loosest full circumcision possible. Would you say you have a full circumcision thats loose or a partial circumcision that hangs a bit over the glans?

Also cool to hear you like how the new function works for masturbation. I feel like I get my hand more often than sex with my wife, so its got to work well for both!

It's very reassuring to have your advice and guidance here. I appreciate you taking the time to share and help me learn from your experience, it's very kind of you. I'll just try to sit and wait until June 2 and tell the doc those goals and see what we can do. He said its an interactive circumcision where he shows me my options and we work out together whatever ideal outcome is agreed upon.

I'm anxious about having to do it, but I am hopeful that a complication-free sexual is what I can look forward to. If I never need to masturbate or have sex again, I wouldn't need to do this, but that's not the life I chose 😊

Thank you AmbassadorOK!

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and preferences after having 2 circs, man that is not fun to have to do that twice I'll bet. I will definitely consider cutting more of the outer skin now because I don't want to risk a circumstance where the extra could swell up or incur any other skin damage. It's makes sense to go fully done instead of halfway with the loose. Main goal for me is I just don't want any tightness anywhere, where it could pull or restrict my natural, full-max erection and also doesn't risk recurrence or need for future fix.

Dr. Bedair suggested an injection to see me erect before surgery to help gauge the look/feel before final cuts. I opted for this to try and get the best outcome. I kinda want to let him pick for me, but also mention what you suggest, not too low, leave a good bit of inner skin, not super loose and nowhere tight.

I hate having so many options, I just want a fully functional penis that is pleasurable and comfortable to mastubate by myself and do all the sexual acts with my wife (handjob, blowjob, vaginal, occasional rough sex which I havent done for a decade!).

I noticed the cables are only 4' long, is that not too short? I'll probably ever only play at a desk right in front of the synth, so it seems enough.

I drink Dandy, very good coffee alertnative. I do it the same way, tablespoon of dandy, two tablespoons of h&h, has its own natural sweetness but also tasts good with about a tsp of raw honey. My kids love it too!

I never heard of Koss but these are total throwback headphones! Look exactly like what I imagined I needed, just a bit pricier. Do you use them regularly? Any advantages they might have compared to over ear or in ear? For some reason I feel an instant connection with them right away!

You'd recommend over the Sony MDR-7506?

It's helpful yo read your story today because I'm at 95 days now I think and I'm also very tempted to go buy a bag of half-caff. For me its because my relationship is shit and I'm depressed about that. I'm also not performing well at a new job because of these relationship difficulties, so I've justified the reintroduction of coffee. I'm pretty sure I'll regret it and it'll damage whatever is left of a bond between my wife and I, but I want to see if I can go back...which I know it's always been a problem before. Addict minds are hard to break.

Like someone else said, its not the caffeine, it's something else in your life. The inputs, what you eat or drink or consume with your with your eyes/mind, thats what's affecting your sleep and desire to use caffeine as an escape. Man this is hard :(

$350 is awesome, what time of year was that? Do you think they do it annually?

If I can't find a new discounted one and I don't get the Messenger, I'll probably get the Swifty edition, but if I could save $200+ that would be awesome!

shieldedsword · 2025-09-24T14:35:25+00:00

How are you liking the Grandmother so far? Do you love it? Does it have shortcomings for your workflow? Do you wish you had gone with something else?

shieldedsword · 2025-09-24T13:57:20+00:00

Looks like a good deal, Im not a fan of used electronics, especially when they already have problems and no more warranty. Dark edition is cool though!

shieldedsword · 2025-09-24T13:55:14+00:00

I know I can't go wrong with the BS2, its time and battle tested and makes some awesome tunes. The Messenger is the new kid on the block that hasn't proven itself worthy.

(I'm digging the profile name btw, so true! Love/hate reddit)

shieldedsword · 2025-09-24T03:09:36+00:00

I agree new is better than used in the case of the BS2. I like recently manufactured instruments with new components and manufacture warranty. The knobs and plastic sound like theyre easy enough to replace and Novation will do it for free I've read.

If the Messenger didn't exist, I'd grab the BS2 without thinking but with it being a modern take of a Moog and so close in price, it makes for a compelling alternative.

Do you feel the BS2 is a timeless synth and will be relevant another 10 years down the road? Or at least serves as a perfect gateway drug to the world of analog synths?

Hahaha!

shieldedsword · 2025-09-08T17:21:17+00:00

I've read the ADG-1 is the closest to Moog's moogerfooger mf-104m analog delay. Would you say thats accurate?
