Hi Matt
Im 26yo and have been circumcised for 5 months now and would not recomend it to any one, the reason being is that if everyone was circumcised id be jealous. I wont lie to you that it was'nt painful afterwards but that was my own fault. The local anasthetic and injections for me were mildly painfull, the first injection is a small prick (exuse the pun) but then everything is numb and feels like slight presure. The pain came in when i left the bandage on soaking wet over night and the weight of the bandage draged it away from my penis causing sever pain for almost a week.
3 months after and the initial senitivity has gone and putting briefs on is no problem, 4 months after and i start to notice what everyone with phimosis is missing, there are a load of sensitive parts that are traped under that skin and walking round with a bare penis is liberating to say the least!
