As an answer to: Advice for me and my husband written by Mrs. K at 24 Apr 2005 05:09:58:

You are suggesting that he have 15 square inches of erogenous tissue removed from his genitals, over half the total penile skin area, just because you are conditioned to think of a penis as circumcised. If he suggested that you have a boob job or other sexual surgery just because it turned him on more you would be outraged. Foreskin rejection is a men's liberation issue. The USA is the only western country still circumcising most of it's baby boys. Countries like Australia and Canada, that used to do so, now have rates of less than 10%.
In case you assume I have a foreskin, I was circumcised as a baby and will never forgive the medical profession and my parents for doing that to me. I got some inkling of what I had lost when I had a masturbation session with another boy when I was about 13 or 14. I went through a lot of anguish and counselling to lessen the anger I feel but will never feel whole.
Some men like the result of adult circumcision, especially if they have phimosis that does not respond to stretching but others really miss their foreskin's gliding action during masturbation and sex. If he hates the result there is no going back and he may come to hate you for suggesting it. I would suggest you seek psychological counselling rather than suggest your husband get himself mutilated for no good reason.

>Hello all! I have been continueously searching the net for quite some time to find research on Adult circumcision and found your comments to be very helpful. What I would like to know is how you guys feel about women suggesting circumcison? I would prefer to have my husband circumcised, we have been married for a little more than two years now and his forskin really affects my Libido. I used to really enjoy oral sex (with previous partner before) and now I can't stand the idea. Due to religous reasons we where not sexually active before marriage, so I really had no clue I would feel this way. I love my husband with all my heart, and if it is something I have to accept I will but I would like advice as to how to approach the subject with him. Thanks!
