deejuliet, nothing personal against you, but most men are not circumcised. You got your facts a bit wrong, but going back to your question, of course its normal, infact scientist have proven that their is pretty much no benefit to getting circumcised unless you get some kind of rare disease which infects the foreskin, which is pretty damnt rare in the first place, also it makes no difference to a girl, and if your uncircumcised you have the option of pulling back the skin during sex, if you live in U.S. then some other guys might joke around and poke fun, but truth is, their the ones a bit abnormal, their the ones who were mutilated against their will as a baby, so don't worry about it, some chicks even dig it more.

in the UK its not done at all mabey like 1%. the rest of the world its only 15%. thats the way d*cks are supposed to be. its a shame the US does this. they do more than half of circumcisions world wide. but rates in the US are actually falling. now its about half and half. So you are actually in the majority world wide. a normal/natural penis is better for sex. circumcision is friggin the worst thing you could do to a guy.

the vast majority of the world's population is not circumcised.

theres nothing at all wrong with being uncircumcised. some might even argue that its a lot better not to be... for one thing you have a lot more nerve endings.. in other words.. you can feel more pleasure.

having a girlfriend has nothing to do with your penis anyways..

learn to love your body the way that it is. every guy on the planet is self conscious about their penis, whether its big enough, or straight enough, but the truth is, it doesnt really matter, because when you find the right girl, she's going to love you regardless of your penis.

brokenheartz agony auntJust get it done. Of course its easier when you're a baby cause you don't remember it happening. It is normal to be uncircumcised, but girls will talk about it. So if you don't care then leave it, if you do then get it done

Dojha agony auntbeing uncircumcised is normal.

If I'm correct, circumcision is a religious thing and if you are not it doesnt mean you are abnormal.

you are simply natural and need to take more care of your sex organ. i mean keep it clean regularly to prevent infections.

but still, you're normal and dont let anyone else tell you otherwise.

macboy agony auntYes!

It is very normal to be uncircumcised!

Most men in the US are Circumcised, but the rate is decreasing.

About 85% of the world is Uncircumcised.

55% of the US is Circumcised at present.

The rest of the civilized world only circumcise 1/10.

I'm uncut!

There are plenty of circumcised men who are unhappy with their circumcision, and would consider you lucky.

Don't feel that you need to be circumcise yourself to conform.

If a girl doesn't want to go out with your because you are uncircumcised, it is her problem not yours!

Anyway, many girls don't even care.

Some don't even know what Circumcision is!

There are many benefits of the foreskin, including better sensitivity and sexual function.

A Hint:

If you ever get into a situation where you could be embarassed, pull back the skin behind the head.

Or if you are with a girl, wait until erect, then pull back.

You will look circumcised that way.

Even better, just tell her you are Circumcised.

Most girls don't know the difference, but are just told by their friends that uncut is bad.

Good luck.

A female reader, Artemesian Australia +, writes (22 June 2007):

Artemesian agony auntIn the US it is more common for males to be circumcised, but that isn't the case in every Western country - Europe is quite the opposite. It is how you are born so don't be ashamed of it, most girls don't care either way as it makes no difference ultimately. If it really bothers you of course you can get circumcised even at your age (which is beneficial to your health in terms of preventing infections related to the foreskin/UTI's) but it isn't necessary unless that happens. You can even look at it that you are a unique commodity ; )

A male reader, NuVu United States +, writes (22 June 2007):

Don't let this reduce your confidence. You can be thankful you never had it done. Studies have shown (according to a mens health article i read a couple years ago) that an uncircumcised penis is much more sensitive than a circumcised one, so your sexual pleasure is that much greater. How great is that? Other articles have suggested that circumcision causes psychological trama to the baby, that may manifest itself in adulthood.

More importantly it doesn't matter if its a slightly different penis, hair, weight, teeth, etc. If you are confident others will pick up on your confidence and they will not think at all about any differences you might have.

Hi,

Most boys born now are circumcised.Some people don't have their sons circumcised at birth because of religion and personal beliefs (etc).Its quite normal to be circumcised even though a few boys are still not circumcised.Your penis just will look a lil different from other boys and trust me im a girl and your girlfriends not gonna worry about whether u are circumcised or not.U can still make the choice when u are eighteen to have it done even though most guys have it as babies.I heard that it hurts more when u are older though. Its normal.

A male reader, anonymous, writes (22 June 2007):

Around the world some men are circumsised and some are not - both are normal. I guess if you want to be technical you are more normal as that is how you are everyone else was born.

By the way being circumised or uncircumsised has no effect on your confidence.
