Well I had a very tight foreskin so it would hurt when it pulled back behind the glans.
BUT, other than that, here are the reasons:
1) Hygiene - before when I retracted the foreskin, it would stink a bit. Yeah, I know that it’s possible to keep clean with diligent effort, but cmon, now I don’t shower for 2 days and it smells nice and rosy (ok, exaggeration ;) )
2) Aesthetic Appeal. I think it looks nicer now. Just my opinion. It’s my dick, after all.
3) I feel girls are more appreciative of cut cocks, especially for oral. I’m not shy about stripping down now, or skinny-dipping.
4) No more pain when foreskin retracts because there is no foreskin (again, personal to ME).
5) I was a virgin before my circumcision (I was 15) but I lost it soon thereafter, and the sex was fine. I think my dick was too sensitive before. Also, I want to say that the stuff about orgasm being better while uncircumcized is bullshit. An orgasm has little to do with your glans, but mostly with the chemicals released by your brain. Once you ORGASM, it doesn’t matter how sensitive your dick was for the last 30 minutes. In that respect, I last longer but cumming feels just as good. Although, recently I have been cumming faster with my gf, so don’t quote me on that =).
6) I think it is easier to do PE with it cut.
Things that aren’t so great about it (but definately not as important as the great benefits of circumcision):
1) You will have a scar. It’s really not so bad. But I’m just saying. Make sure to follow instructions given by your doc very closely for the 2 weeks after surgery (applying Neosporin, dissolving sutures in hot water, etc.). Be diligent about this and the scar will not be bad.
2) In case you already have ED, I don’t think this will make you any more sensitive.
3) You will be walking gingerly for the first few days/weeks, so maybe it will interfere with work/school. This is of course temporary.
Overall, good > bad.
Hope this helped.
