>>>I'm pretty sure you don't need to get circumcised. ../messages2/2247.htm is a good page for you, though these days we suggest that you not pull back, but instead pull the skin forward, away from the body, and then you'd try to "open" it -- like the pillowcase when trick-or-treating. Most important thing is to play safe, and not hurt yourself. It might be a good idea to make sure the skin and the head aren't sticking to each other (too much friction on the head of the penis causes discomfort) when you try the pull-forward method.
>>Thanks for the response. I was looking at that page earlier and it's interesting. But, what about circumcision? Would it be better hygiene wise and for physical appeal(look)? I just wanna look at the diffrent options available...

>No, circumcision does not make you cleaner - an unwashed penis is going to be dirty and a properly washed penis will be clean. Circumcision cuts many, many erogenous nerves. It leaves a very noticeable scar. Here's a link on the appearance: http://forum.fathermag.com/circ/067/forum/messages/164327.shtml

Thanks for the response,
I took a look through that thread. Circumcision is uncommon in places in Europe and Australia, but here in the US it's the majority... And as far as the erogenous nervers... I've heard that men that have gotten circumcised didn't lose any sexual stimulation.. quite the opposite actually. Like on this page.. http://www.geocities.com/circfaq/#5.6
