Are you circumcised and/or have you had sex with someone who is? Theirs is a lot of social baggage and hotly contested politics, not to mention a growing body of medical research, about the pros and cons of circumcision. But when it comes to your real experience of sex as circumcised, with someone who is circumcised, or both, what’s your take? Have Your Say

@momo A good time... Are you the one who's been writing your phone number all over the bus I take home? On a more serious note, I think man is very strange for wanting to muck with all these things nature has done with us.

Ya Right

I remember that when I was born(1946) it was common practice that men where circumsized. My dad (thank God)told the doctors no. Later in the 70's there were many woman who found a difference with the men who were and those who where not. In fact one woman who had been with me"this great,I will always stay with"uncercumsized men". In other words she was going to find out first if they were in fact circumsized first. I had my share of woman ask that question of me many times then.

After having sex with my circumcised partner, he lasts longer and enjoys the act of sex the same as a guy who is uncut does, and experiences intense pleasure.

No Need for Circumcision

I am circumcised 63yo and really wish I was UNcircumcised as I feel mother nature had a legitimate purpose providing foreskin which crazy-brained humans feel they must destroy for little rational reason or basis.

Yes and No

i've been with both kinds of guys and have to say i haven't had any complaints. giving a handjob is different on an uncut guy and my first time with a guy who was cut i did worry about hurting him, but he had a good time!
