I was born in the late 90s in probably the second most liberal area of california.
Before I was even an hour old, my mom had my genitals mutilated. “Everyone does it”, “girls prefer it”, “it was normal then” she said, despite the western US alone having a fucking 30% circumcision rate in the year I was born, and likely that area being somewhere around 3%.
Almost nobody else was who wasn’t jewish when I was growing up, funny enough, everyone I wound up becoming close friends with turned out to be circumcised. All but 1 were jewish.
In elementary school, they made fun of me for being circumcised. People always peeked in the urinals, and they all laughed at me. I didn’t know what it meant, when I asked my mom about it, she said that they cut off a piece of skin on the penis.
I thought the thick layer of keritanization was my foreskin. She would never pay someone to strap down her own child and cut off a piece of their penis, she loved me, right?
“Oh wow, that sounds awful, thank you for not-”
I cried for an hour.
The pain from the head rubbing against my clothes made it so that I could never wear anything except for tight underwear.
Everyone made fun of the kids who wore tighty whiteys in middle school, and I was always one of the only ones who were circumcised. They made fun of this too.
Girls rejected me because of this. “Ewww, it looks like sandpaper, sorry… I prefer uncut”. In this year all the lying about rape shit was just starting to become ‘normal’ so I didn’t even want to take any chances, I pulled up my pants and left.
I’m 5’4, 115 lbs with an ultra baby face, I could easily pass as 14-15, 12 if I tried.
Finding girls requires them to have a fetish for guys like that, but guess what, they want a guy who’s super sensitive with a foreskin.
Not some guy with a bunch of loose skin and a hideous scar who’s fucking numb
I visited some of my family over this last week, and I found out while playing cards against humanity with them that my younger cousin wasn’t (You know the kind of cards that get played, so you can guess how it naturally got mentioned). Of course, I didn’t say anything about it though. It felt so awful to wish that he also had his human rights violated, but I just want someone else who I can relate with who isn’t 10 years older . I looked at statistics online and he had a fucking 80% chance of it happening to him in the state he was born in.
Nobody else was growing up unless they were jewish. It isn’t at all fair. It’s given me suicidal thoughts knowing my brain chemistry has been permanently and adversely altered, new research shows I am MORE prone to STDs because I don’t have the layer of enzymes that the foreskin has, I’ll never feel as much pleasure as a real man and nothing will ever change the fact that I have lived a fifth of my life and almost all my youth without any pleasure. I’m tired of the constant pain from the head rubbing against my clothes, I hate the fact that even if by some miracle and I get a real foreskin with all the structures, nerves, wetness and everything else that was robbed from me, I’ll never get to relive the beginning of my life with it.
I drew in from being laughed at constantly for something I literally could not control or hide. It would be different if it was just something I was born with, but knowing that this was a result of the people who were supposed to protect me’s actions.
It isn’t fair at all. Why did I have to be born with self righteous parents who tried to throw money at every problem I ever had, and in every situation wound up making them worse?
Why did I have to be born with a shitty genetic disease and have the most basic of human rights violated, while almost nobody else I know has?

Do people actually pick on their circumcised peers? I never experienced anything like that, and it physically doesn’t bother me even a little bit. Well, I may be missing a little bit, but it is what it is.
In areas where the rate is <10%, yes, they do.
If I didn't get phantom pains and I didn't have the constant pain of my exposed head rubbing against my underwear I wouldn't care
I’m a girl and let me tell you there are many girls out there that prefer a circumcised dick. I do not personally care either way. I am a biologist and uncircumcised dicks actually have a higher transfer and receiving of diseases.
it’s probably different in other states.
In the west, and especially in the late 90s/early 2000s it was really rare.
From what I’ve seen on it, all it takes is single contact to become infected, so either way you need to wear a condom.
Only difference is I’d be tempted to take the condom off due to the lack of sensation
Yes either way, everyone should protect themselves. However. if you look up HIV, having foreskin increases your risk. Guys with foreskins also want to take it off. If you want to increase sensation get whomever to give you head with a mint in their mouths or ice.
that was found by more recent research to be false though
the bacteria in the foreskin is part of your immune system which actually stops more STDs than it prevents if you were raw dogging either way
Let’s all talk about anatomy! Yay! Oh, to be a leopard slug…

Dude I can relate too you on this for different reasons. Since I was 13 I’ve been masturbating excessively and now I’m reaping the consequences of it. Though I’m not totally sure if it the cause it seems like rubbing my dick across my underwear has caused abrasion resulting in lines/ridges/scarring. I don’t think theres any way I can fix it other than quit masturbating which I’ve done. Even though I’m the one who caused the damage I can argue that nobody ever told me this would happen. If I had known I was permanently destroying my body I never would have taken the risk.
I’ve never heard of a problem like that and someone I know jerks off probably 7-10 times a day
I’m not really too sure what you mean by ‘for different reasons’, if you aren’t circumcised, you probably just got the head keritanized.
It should be fine if you stop rubbing it across your underwear and masturbate normally
After reading your story I can’t tell if you’re a boy or a girl.
That doesn’t matter.
Jews are God’s Chosen People, and for whatever reason God chooses to “snip a little off the top”. (Makes no sense to me either, but hey, who am I to question His will)?
As long as your junk still functions just work with what you’ve got, it could be worse.
I’m not jewish though
Circumcision reduces sexual function and in the most extreme cases can cause psychological damage
“Although some believe that babies “won’t remember” the pain, we now know that the body “remembers” as evidenced by studies which demonstrate that circumcised infants are more sensitive to pain later in life (Taddio et al., 1997). Research carried out using neonatal animals as a proxy to study the effects of pain on infants’ psychological development have found distinct behavioral patterns characterized by increased anxiety, altered pain sensitivity, hyperactivity, and attention problems (Anand & Scalzo, 2000). In another similar study, it was found that painful procedures in the neonatal period were associated with site-specific changes in the brain that have been found to be associated with mood disorders (Victoria et al., 2013).”
It isn’t fair at all, nothing good came out of this and only bad has.
So you wanna off yourself because you’ve been circumcisezed?
Geez. That seems a little extreme.
You and your penis can still lead a pleasant existence despite the unfortunate scissor experience.
it’s because of the phantom pains I get
I get this occasional stabbing feeling right where my circumcision scar is
That sucks, is there really nothing that can be done about it?
probably not I don’t think, usually this happens to people after surgeries but apparently this happens to something like 1/1000 circumcised people
Even the doctor said he never heard of something like this and that it was just a result of circumcision, “likely done with inadequate anesthesia”, basically something subconsciously triggers the memory and I still don’t know what it is
I don’t know if you were cut or not, but if you weren’t, thank your parents, this is absolute hell
I always thought it was the uncircumcised ones who got made fun of. Guess it depends where you live?
They said it was like an elephants trunk.. i’m so confused now. everything i thought i knew was a lie.
Did you know that the earth is also flat? The whole flat world has gone batty.
hey, i too have a skin problem that nearly drives me to suicide. i almost wish it was on my manhood. it’s in an unusual place and it’s hard to conceal. i feel your pain.
hopefully you overcome this. with time, you just may.
I don’t know if I can
It’s a stabbing pain I get randomly for no apparent reason
ookay I wrote a giant comment but it didn’t show up for some reason.. Maybe it was too long?..
I wrote about how being mutilated at birth has had a very negative effect on me too recently..
I don’t want my whole comment to go to waste because I spent a long time writing it, so I am going to post a pastebin link where you can read it.. This site really should enable long comments so people don’t have to link out to external sites, but oh well: https://pastebin.com/L0tbjHTK
An edit: Rereading our post it’s apparent you’ve had some level of discussion with your mom. E.g.: “It was normal then”. I wonder, about when was then? I’m 60, had my son in 83, in Cali and no way in hell was I able to let them take him away from me to cut him; let alone unanesthesized. None of it made any sense. There was pressure to do what everyone else does. I remember thinking some cultures do circumcision for all sorts of reasons, but I just couldn’t wrap my head around it. And so, men who are immediately circumcised, are thrown into a ‘pain’ ‘body’. As if the birth canal wasn’t hard enuf. I really hope you will find healing.
I wonder if that is what has happened to me.
I am circumcised in the early 90s and I was fine until I got chlamydia from someone giving me oral.
Of course the chlamydia is bacterial and was cured, but the burning pain has never gone away.
It seems to me this never would have happened if I wasn’t circumcised, but it also would never have happened if I wasn’t kicked out over and over and over again by divorced catholic parents who clearly do not care about their gay son.
**I was circumcised**
Silly typo.
Anyway, I hate my family for being bigoted in a number of ways, so it’s hard to be more disappointed in them than I already am for them having circumcised me.
