question: i am un circumsized thinking about getting a circumcision but i heard you get alot more sensation being uncurcumsized, b ut my problem is some times only while masterbating its hard to get the skin over the head, but while having sex its no problem at all, any way while jelqing should the skin be over the head? so thats to questions, any recomendations on getting circumsized, and 2 should the head be fully exposed while jelqing, another question is im only 21, with time will the skin become more flexible and be easier to slide over the head? thanx fellas

In my opinion You should forget circumsicion, at least if Your only reason is too tight foreskin. It doesn't really matter wether the skin is over the head or not while jelqing, as long as the lube is slick enough so the skin won't stretch too much lengthwise. Your skin will get looser with time, just remember to stretch it often enough. Circumsicion is often a religious procedure, no hard medical facts backing it up as something that should be done.

I'm neither for or against the procedure. I must disagree with Bobo, however, because there are medical reasons to have it done. Too tight of a foreskin is indeed one of those reasons. It can make any type of arousal painful. That being said, since you made no mention of excessive pain, I would imagine that this isn't your problem. Do plenty of research before making your decision. It's not exactly something you can go back and undo.

Let's not turn this into a heated debate between the cut and un-cut. There are plenty of threads around to accomplish that. There is NO clear winner in that debate.

Surgery is one answer, but stretching will remove the problem too, only slower. I won't start debating about this either.... if a doctor recommends it, then go for it. Otherwise, avoid the blade.

Have a look at this. It may help you to make up your mind.

To Circumcise
or Not to Circumcise?

The questions above have been part of the circumcision debate for generations.
That debate involves individuals, parents as well as member of the medical and scientific communities.

To some, male circumcision is the removal of the foreskin to prevent disease of the penis. Uncut foreskin means a man has an uncircumcised penis.

Is male circumcision really necessary?

There was a time when a circumcision procedure was an almost exclusively religious rite.
But times have changed.
Circumcision, the surgical removal of a portion of foreskin at the tip of the penis, is usually performed on male infants within days of birth. And the practice has gained widespread popularity in the United States that, according to the National Center for Health Statistics, nearly 65 percent of newborn males _ about 1.2 million newborns annually _ are circumcised. However, to some, male circumcision is the removal of the foreskin to prevent disease of the penis. Uncut foreskin means a man has an uncircumcised penis. The question remains if a circumcised penis is better than an uncircumcised penis or if the uncut foreskin matters when it comes to disease of the penis of acquiring HIV.An uncircumcised penis has the foreskin intact.

Does circumcision reduce the risk for disease?

The notion that circumcision improves hygiene and the likelihood of infections has some merit, but there is not enough medical evidence to warrant a recommendation to circumcise for that reason.

In fact, from the American Academy of Pediatrics' circumcision "recommendation" is to not make a recommendation _ but to urge medical professionals to provide parents with information about the pros and cons of circumcision and let them decide. But to some, male circumcision is the removal of the foreskin to prevent disease of the penis. Uncut foreskin means a man has an uncircumcised penis.
Reports of diminished penile sensation in circumcised males have also not been clinically documented. A Masters and Johnson report on the subject found no such distinction in penile sensation between uncircumcised and circumcised men. The question remains if a circumcised penis is better than an uncircumcised penis or if the uncut foreskin matters when it comes to disease of the penis of acquiring HIV.
However, eyebrows have been raised recently upon the release of data compiled by Ugandan studies indicating that circumcised males may be at lower risk of HIV infection than uncircumcised males.
The United States Agency for International Development states that "male circumcision is a principal determinant of the large disparities in HIV prevalence across different African regions."
The agency's multi-site study found that the prevalence of HIV in nations where most men are circumcised "remains low despite other HIV risk factors."
Additionally, the studies suggest that circumcised males have a reduced risk of contracting other sexually transmitted infections, urinary tract infections and penile cancer. So, male circumcision, the removal of the foreskin to prevent disease of the penis is sometimes preferred to uncut foreskin, an uncircumcised penis. The question remains if a circumcised penis is better than an uncircumcised penis or if the uncut foreskin matters when it comes to disease of the penis of acquiring HIV.
Reports of decreased penis sensitivity in circumcised males in comparison to sensations in uncircumcised males have also been difficult to confirm. A Masters and Johnson study reported that there is no difference in sensitivity.

So, what is the answer to the great circumcision debate?
It's a personal choice. The question remains if a circumcised penis is better than an uncircumcised penis or if the uncut foreskin matters when it comes to disease of the penis of acquiring HIV.
The debate rages on.

Smegma—Oily secretions from the skin can accumulate under the foreskin of the penis. The result is a thick, bad-smelling substance called smegma. If the penis is not cleaned thoroughly, the presence of smegma can cause irritation and inflammation.
Phimosis—This is a condition in which the foreskin becomes constricted and difficult to retract.
Treatment for psoriasis—The skin disease psoriasis is sometimes treated with a combination of medication and exposure to ultraviolet light.
Age—Most cases of penile cancer occur in men over age 50.
Symptoms of penile cancer include growths or sores on the penis, abnormal discharge from the penis and bleeding. Surgery to remove the cancer is the most common treatment for penile cancer. A doctor may take out the cancer using one of the following operations:

Wide local excision takes out only the cancer and some normal tissue on either side.
Microsurgery is an operation that removes the cancer and as little normal tissue as possible. During this surgery, the doctor uses a microscope to look at the cancerous area to make sure all the cancer cells are removed.
Laser surgery uses a narrow beam of light to remove cancer cells.
Circumcision is an operation that removes the foreskin.
Amputation of the penis (penectomy) is an operation that removes the penis. It is the most common and most effective treatment of cancer of the penis. In a partial penectomy, part of the penis is removed. In a total penectomy, the whole penis is removed. Lymph nodes in the groin may be taken out during surgery.
Radiation, which uses high-energy rays to attack cancer, and chemotherapy, which uses drugs to kill cancer, are other treatment options.
