I don't much about circumcision. According to your answers, I think he might be circumcised.

A female reader, chigirl Norway +, writes (12 December 2011):

chigirl agony auntI also wanted to ask, is he circumcised? Ask him. All men have a different colour on the foreskin and shaft than the penis head. But, with natural penises you don't notice this as much. However when a man has been circumcised the foreskin is cut away so that the skin from the shaft and the skin from the penis head meet abruptly, causing a clear line where the colour is different.

If you take a look at your own genitalia in a mirror you will see that you as well have different skin colours down there, usually darker lips and a brighter clitoris.

bluecow agony auntis he circumcised?

Scar tissue is often a different colour to the rest of his skin... it can be darker or lighter.

Regardless of whether he is circumcised the penis is often lighter (pinker) on the head. In an uncircumcised man it is a glossy smooth skin (mucosa), on the cut man it keratinises which means it becomes more like normal skin.

The genital area itself can also be darker or lighter than the rest of the skin on the mans body.
