r/uncircumcised_talk

What's your opinion on self-circumcision (keeping the foreskin retracted most of the time in underwear)? After so much fame on the internet and a deleted Google page, I saw some doctors saying there are no contraindications, and another saying it's even ideal for preventing fungal infections.

So i got prescribed Econazole Nitrate 1% Cream for balanitis and im on day 3. My foreskin seems irritated and itchy and a little red on one side. When the heck will this stop?! Is it this damn cream? Anyone ever use this cream? Its irritating me down there and its pissing me off. No i did not use any steroid cream all i used was this cream^.

I just assumed that everything came naturally. As a boy I learned myself how to clean properly/look after my penis/foreskin all on my own. Albeit I didn't have a dad to show me.

Yesterday my eldest son approached me with a question: what is this stuff in my penis?. I was not ready for it. I didn't want to see it. But I was like right! Get to the shower and i'll show you how it's done!

So yes. That was my experience today. Be aware future parents. This might happen to you!

Just that, I want to know which one is the most common and which is the least.

Hi guys, im 16
First I wanted to say sorry for my English because im actually french
So as I said my foreskin dont roll correctly, I basically had phimosis for a long time and managed to roll back entirely like 1 month ago
But now when I’m erecting or even flacid my penis wont let my foreskin go back without rolling inside the penis, like making a tube with paper
I dont really know what to do it hurt while masturbating now and I dont want to annoy my BF with those thing even tho I know he wont say anything about it
Anyone help is welcome and appreciated

I’m circumcised, but restoring. Ive noticed that my frenulum and really the whole underside of my penis has started to get more sensitive, and I wondering if having a ridged band would’ve like just having a frenulum that traveled around my entire penis.

I believe the frenulum is generally MORE sensitive than the ridged band, but I was curious.

He is uncircumcised, hates the sensitivity, touching it, I assume only rarely masturbates, finds erections to be painful and embarrassing and hates the general aesthetics.

He has only recently become comfortable enough to have practical conversations with me about his feelings surrounding his anatomy and I'd like to understand how to help him feel more comfortable in his own body.

I'm not terribly surprised to learn this as he has general sensory issues and is on the spectrum. I have wondered if he might be ace, but it's hard to tell what's a product of sensory and social issues vs natural inclinations. He doesn't seem to be experiencing gender dysphoria, he just sorta "hates" having genitals.

When he was younger I would give him the general advice on how to gently pull back, clean and dry his foreskin, but at a certain age he would clearly be uncomfortable talking about his body with his mom so I backed off and since he is very clean I assumed hormones and showering would work all of that out naturally. Yet here we are.

I have a general knowledge of phimosis, and I have known people with wildly different experiences of being uncircumcised. It seems like he's experiencing the negative end of that spectrum. I want to be respectful of his autonomy, but give him some easy practical advice to start with, with the goal of him having a better relationship with his body. He would be hesitant to see a doctor about this, and he's not the sort of person that will go on reddit and research himself. Talking to me about this at all let's me know it's an issue, and he's very private so the more practical and efficient, with the fewest people knowing, the better.

(i can’t update the title but i mean three not two questions) So i’ve been debating on getting a circumcision lately because of a few questions i’ve been thinking about a lot and i didn’t know where else to go to ask these questions. My first question is if it’s your first time having sex and you don’t use lube before going in can your foreskin tear? My second question is if your again having sex does it supposed to hurt for your first time? this is one of the ones i’ve been thinking about the most, would pulling back your foreskin before doing anything sexual make a difference rather than not pulling it back? and for my last question, why does my foreskin always smell bad? like it doesn’t smell like awful but it has like a mild smell although i’m washing it with soap everyday. I’m washing it in the shower with hot water, soap, and a rag but maybe that’s too much? please if you know anything let me know🙏 (also im sorry if this doesn’t make sense if you have any questions i can rephrase)

I don't know if this has ever happened to you guys, but many times when I masturbate and my penis is drier, and even after I apply lubricant, I feel discomfort, a slight pain when pulling the foreskin up and down. I don't know if this is due to my short fernulum.

I am intact and grew up in America, where I only ever knew one other guy around my age who also had a foreskin.

Recently, that has made me think about how many penis-related experiences I had growing up that were uncommon, because I was an outlier.

Some examples:

• I was anxious to get changed in front of other boys, so I was totally disengaged from locker room talk (and, even to a degree, from playing sports or doing much swimming).
• If I walked up to a urinal at the same time as a friend, I freaked out about the amount of time I needed to tweak the position of my foreskin before and after peeing.
• I absolutely never flashed anyone my dick as a joke or in a "I'll show you mine" situation.
• In health class, diagrams of penises often didn't include a foreskin at all.
• People would joke anything that looked like a mushroom looked like a dick, whereas to me I considered a dick shape to be something much more smooth/tapered.
• I never understood all the "lotion" jokes about jerking off, and even once I understood them I never cared or thought they were funny.

I could list a lot more examples. But, I want to hear your examples!

If you grew up intact somewhere that was majority circumcised, what penis-related experiences made you feel like you were the outlier?

If you grew up somewhere where almost everyone was uncut, I'm also very interested in your experiences - because I can't even imagine it!

What are some common experiences growing up in a majority intact culture? Especially if you were around other boys often or in locker room situations, which is where a lot of my differences emerge.

The only comparison I can make is that for me growing up in a circumcised culture, when we hit puberty every guy would joke about having lotion on their nightstand as the coded way to talk about masturbation. It went right over my head, because... why need lotion? It was cultural context that made no sense to me, and I assume it wouldn't be the go-to joke in an uncut culture.

So, what were those moments like for you? I don't even know what kind of examples to give, but a few things I've wondered:

• When kids joke about things that looked like dicks, was it still mushrooms?
• Was it common knowledge that people paused to adjust their foreskin before peeing?
• Did all of your anatomy and health classes include information on foreskins?
• Were smegma jokes common, since everyone might have it?

If you grew up intact somewhere that was majority uncircumcised, what common experiences can you think of where foreskins were referenced, acknowledged, or part of a common expression or shared joke? I'd love to hear them!

I’m aware grieving posts aren’t allowed here so for the sake of this not getting taken down, I won’t elaborate beyond I’m a 22yo circumcised guy in the US.

What’s the best part of being intact? Which parts are most sensitive?

I just wondered. How if feels? Im cut and yeah....😭

As someone who was circumcised late in life, I masturbated a lot without being circumcised, but after being circumcised, I suddenly felt like there was a 90% decrease in pleasure! Damn circumcision! I want my foreskin back!

So I am a woman and have only ever been with one man that was uncircumcised.

Recently, I met someone online (on Reddit actually!), and we really hit it off right away! It started through an online roleplay, so sexual has been the tone from the beginning. Still, we have gotten to know each other on a deep level and chat pretty much all day, everyday. I love it. He is pretty incredible, and I’m happy to have met him.

He has an uncircumcised penis, and I am all about it. My experience is limited, but as all of this virtual, I get to watch, and I really enjoy watching.

Everything has been great until tonight we were doing a sexy video call, and he was pleasuring himself right in front of the camera. Very sexy, until there was this giant white blob thing that appeared in camera peaking out under the foreskin as he continued. I didn’t know what it was, and for a second thought it might be precum… but that didn’t seem right. He didn’t notice and so I just kept on, eventually changed positions and might have noticed but somehow it was gone. I forgot about it until right now. I had to research about uncircumcised penis’s and found things smegma. This man literally had just gotten out of the bath… so he obviously was clean, but is he just not cleaning his junk well enough? As we have a different kind of relationship, I feel I can and should say something…

I guess I’m wondering how common this is, should I be grossed out? Should I say something in case he has sex irl and this should be something he would want to know?

Hello! I am a male 23, uncut and i am willing to chat with anyone about anything related to foreskin. I like to help people of all ages if they have any questions or want to chat! I am very respectful and I don't judge. 🙂

I had a virtual appt with a doc and showed my foreskin had a bit of red around the area and also have a small cut on my foreskin after i had sex. I had intercourse without realizing i had a bit of red on foreskin (no swelling or pain). Just a bit itchy. Anyways the doc prescribed me Econazole Nitrate 1% Cream, has anyone tried this? Any sort of reactions from using this? I see everyone uses clotrimazole 1% so thats why its throwing me off a bit.

hi, speaking for my bf not myself. the both of us are young and virgins and have been trying to slowly move into having sex but there have been a couple issues and i wanna know if its even possible for us to do so.

1. the only time i tried to give him a handjob, he says it hurts when i pull the skin down too far (i wasnt trying to it was on accident i really dont know how to do it 😭)

2. once, i saw he had some precum and touched his head (it fit the vibe ok) and he immediately recoiled in pain

3. i was trying to give him head and admittedly i was a lil teeth-y because i didnt have any experience but he also said it hurt a lil when i sucked on the head/skin (he said i mightve been sucking too hard)

4. he was fucking my thighs and more than once he had to stop because it hurt. he said the skin hurt but i feel like it couldve been his head too?

i dont know, is all this normal? ive watched porn before obviously but none of them were of uncut men and im just so lost and demoralised because it feels like i cant pleasure him directly and on top of that, i dont know how we are gonna have sex because wont the skin probably get pushed back while in the vagina?? what if it hurts him? help please 😭😭
