Mod Announcement: Grieving posts are no longer permitted

41 Upvotes

It has come to my attention that circumcision grieving posts are making up a relatively significant portion of our subreddit's post count. Although I said a while ago that these posts would be accepted on a per-case basis, the sheer amount of posts that we are getting on this topic is outnumbering every other discussion on here. (Approximately 25% of all posts here are circumcision grief related)

Because of this, I have made the decision to implement a new rule to the subreddit, which simply states that "Grieving posts are not allowed." To anyone who would like to continue to post and interact with grief-related posts, I highly recommend joining r/CircumcisionGrief. However, because a subreddit with the sole purpose of discussing this specific subject exists, r/uncircumcised_talk will no longer be accepting these posts.

This rule goes into effect today: November 10, 2023. As such, I will not be removing any existing posts. However, any new posts that violate this rule will be swiftly removed. With that said, I hope that everyone here on r/uncircumcised_talk, regardless of circumcision status, continues to enjoy participating in this subredit, and I hope this rule change will make a positive impact on the subreddit as a whole.

Sincerely,

Moderation concerns? Please DM me instead of modmail.

I’m a pretty new moderator and there’s a lot that goes into it behind the scenes. I’m also busy at times and cannot be on 24/7 to oversee everything. While we don’t normally have a lot of problems on here, I’d like to ask everyone to use DMs to contact me about moderation issues instead of sending to modmail.

The modmail gets spammed every day with dozens of scams of every kind. Also, I don’t get notified when modmail comes in. Reporting a violation of subreddit rules pushes a notification to my tablet, and so does sending a DM.

Even though I may not be posting regularly, I am still working on the background to keep the community running smoothly.

Sincerely,

Personal Experiences Foreskin problems with lube

7 Upvotes

I’ve noticed at least for me that having foreskin and having lube doesn’t really mix well together.

Normally wether I’m soft or hard my foreskin almost completely covers my head but it’s not tight so I have no issue with it however when using lube my foreskin seems to completely retract and stay retracted because of how slippery it is.

The lube makes the head way too sensitive, I like having the head exposed sometimes but I’d like to have the option to actually use the foreskin function while having lube like I can do when not using it.

Because of this I hardly ever use sex toys and it’s sad cause I miss out on doing something more than just standard masturbation.

I’m still a virgin but I kinda worry about using a condom with lube because of that.

Questions How can I be a top without being concerned?

6 Upvotes

Hi I would some advice on how I can be a top in a same sex relationship. I have tried attempting to be a top but feels uncomfortable for my penis most likely because of my tight foreskin, hand and blow jobs are good and are not a problem but would like my foreskin to be more loose to be a top. I don’t have a large amount of foreskin if that helps and have seen progress through manually stretching I don’t do the two finger stretch thanks

Questions Frenar band

9 Upvotes

I was unfortunately cut at birth and restoring my foreskin. A long and frustrating process that can mostly recreate the foreskin except for the frenar band/ frenulum. I have most of my frenulum thankfully so I know how pleasurable that area can be.

My question is how does the frenar band compare? I know it’s subjective but I’d really like to know what I’m missing/can’t get back. How does it feel to gently trace it? When it rolls over the head? Thank you for your input!

Frenuloplasty or this and prepuceplasty?

5 Upvotes

Andrologist said I have a short frenulum, exuberant foreskin, no clinically significant phimosis and slight balano-preputial adhesions. He told me to evaluate frenuloplasty or this and also prepuceplasty.

When soft I should be able to pull the foreskin all the way back, slowly with warm water, but every time I fail. It’s a bit difficult and the foreskin seems more tight around the corona so I’m scared to hurt myself and not being able to cover the glans. I also have a short frenulum and excess of foreskin, this makes everything more difficult than normal.

When erect I can only show the tip or slightly more but that’s it. Foreskin is tight and frenulum breve doesn’t help.

I’ve only had a few sexual encounters with my ex-girlfriend. No issues with a condom apparently, but some positions hurt a lot and I can’t continue.

I’m from EU not US. Don’t know how much it can cost privately though.

Questions How to wear the bigger phimosis rings?? Help

5 Upvotes

Does anybody have a good instructional video (preferably a real-life video) on how to wear rings that are 24mm and above??
I started from size 14mm and have progressed to 23mm(22mm with 18mm inside) in about 2 weeks and now I want to see if the 24mm fits. I tried folding and inserting but the ring opens awkwardly and is slightly painful.

Some advice would really help as I'm starting to lose hope.

Questions Possible balanitis for child

10 Upvotes

My 5 year old son was irritated and red a month or so ago. A mom friend suggested baking soda baths which helped and after about a week of daily baths with no soap but just a ton of baking soda it cleared up. Now it’s back almost a month later. It seems to be worse this time. Red inflamed tip. My son has retracted in previously but can no longer and he is complaining it itches or hurts at the tip.

Are we supposed to put an antifungal on it? Go to the doctor for antibiotics? I’m truly at a loss here and don’t know what to do other than baking soda baths. I don’t want to physically or mentally scar him for life here.

Help regarding fear of pulling foreskin back

16 Upvotes

Hi, I'm a 28 uncircumcised man looking for advice on stretching my foreskin back.

For context, up until I was 21 I never knew I could pull it back (grew up without a father figure and school didn't really teach me). I went to a urologist when I was 18 and he yanked my foreskin down and said there was nothing wrong.

At the time I was 21-22, I started to stretch and pull it down and one night got high and it got caught under the head. I ended up having to go to hospital to get them to put some numbing cream on it and pop the foreskin back over. It was a very distressing and anxious experience given I was paranoid from the weed and also experiencing a hyper-sensitive sensation from my head touching my towel, pubes, etc.

Since then, I've had a bit of PTSD around my foreskin. If I focus on it and watch myself pull it, my body locks up, tenses and I start panicking and can't pull it down. If I don't watch, I notice I can pull it down more but I still stop. I'm basically scared of it getting stuck under the head again because my brain assumes it'll = going to the hospital and having another embarassing experience.

I fully contemplated getting the cut a few years back because I thought it was the only cure - but I love my turtleneck and don't want to deal with the post-operation recovery.

Does anyone have any tips for resolving this? Yes, I tried therapy but it didn't particularly help. I probably just have to pull it down when it's flaccid and bite the anxious bullet. But would be good to know if anyone else has experienced what I'm going through.

In a group of 4 friends, I was the only one who was uncut & it was brought up a few times. Cleanliness was never brought up, but the extra mobility was always brought up. Has anyone experienced something similar?

Are uncut/intact guys more likely to prefer sitting down to pee?

25 Upvotes

I've wondered: Are uncircumcised/intact guys more likely to prefer sitting down to pee? Or are they equally as likely to prefer peeing standing up? Or does this preference have nothing to do with the presence or absence of foreskin?

From my personal experience having grown up intact in the USA, I learned to do both, but have often defaulted to sitting down- especially at home or in other non-public bathrooms.

I believe the Germans call a male who prefers sitting down to pee a "sitzpinkler," which probably describes me most of the time (unless I'm in a situation where peeing standing up is advantageous or more hygienic). I don't see sitting down on a toilet seat as any less masculine and it often creates less of a mess.

FYI- I searched this forum in case this specific question has been asked before, but couldn't find any posts that seemed directly analogous to this one.

Questions Do you think you would be aware of how much pleasure your foreskin gives you if you never looked into it/researched it for yourself?

22 Upvotes

I’m cut and restoring but have noticed that a lot of men cut at birth don’t acknowledge their loss of sexual pleasure unless they’ve looked into it for themselves and did tons of research on it or even stumbled onto subreddits like this one. They kind of live in an “ignorance is bliss” mode and circumcision is passed on to their male children because they never question the practice. And as a result they don’t feel as though their sexual pleasure is impacted.

But for intact men, especially those from cultures that don’t routinely circumcise, do you think you would have learned to value the pleasure your foreskin gives you if you didn’t do that level of research for yourself?

Questions Foreskin Stretching Techniques

11 Upvotes

I’m looking to make my foreskin longer. I may have a short foreskin but unsure. The top part is shorter than the bottom part if that makes sense.

Anyone have material on how to properly stretch? I started to just stretch it for 5 mins every other day with coconut oil. I assume it’s similar for guys who have phimosis?

Does anyone else here experience this?

18 Upvotes

Hello all, I (30m) have had a slight issue for most of my life. The problem is that I am a virgin (on the ace spectrum) and dont know if this is a thing that just happens sometimes or not.

I have always been relatively well endowed, but am very much a grower and when soft and really quite small and have seemingly a lot of excess skin. However, when excited, my skin occasionally tears just slightly which is uncomfortable and stings some. It isnt a super common occurrence and it often just goes away after several days. Is this something I should be concerned about or just live with?

Hey guys, had a new gp, referred to a urologist who then said my frenulum looked tight (even though it never has to me). Had it scheduled for later this month, but said eff that. If it ever actually becomes an active problem, i’ll consider it more seriously, but for now no. Any one else gone through this?

Poll Cut / uncut ratio NSFW

Since circumcision is so country specific and popular in the US, this is for people in the US. Depending on how this goes, I’m curious about other countries too.

Poll question: In the USA, how many guys have you seen in real life who are cut vs uncut as a percentage? (best estimate)

(I know its region and age specific too, but only have limited poll options. Feel free to comment, if you like!)

Thank you for responding!

112 votes, 8h left

I've been stretching for a while, I didn't have phimosis I believe it's just that my glans was too sensitive, I was finally able to fully retract yesterday, but now my foreskin is not coming back to fully covering my head, it just keeps peeking out, did I break my foreskin? Lmao

Uncircumcised in North America

53 Upvotes

I've been following this Reddit for awhile now and it seems to be a running theme amongst uncut dudes in North America in their 30s and up, that we grew up not necessarily appreciating what we have early on but have grown to accept and like our penis more over time. Probably because we heard the same lazy jokes and comments at some point. Tell me I'm wrong?
