For context, I’m circumcised and expecting a son and my wife and I are torn about the circ. We’re American so from a cultural standpoint circumcision is the default choice. Thing is, there’s no real benefit besides practicing a religion we don’t believe in, and I’m uncomfortable about cutting the tip of my son’s dick off.

On the other side, I’ve met a guy who was bullied in high school so bad for it he got a circ as an adult. Apparently crazy painful recovery. I’ve also talked to women who are generally grossed out by uncircumcised men. I don’t want to make him feel like something’s wrong with him his whole life because I was uncomfortable with the idea.

From a moral standpoint I’m against it, but from a social and cultural standpoint I feel like I should do it? It’s a crappy situation. If there’s any uncircumcised American men who want to talk about their penis I’m all ears.

Edit: I really appreciate everyone’s responses I never expected to hear from so many people. With the decision hinging on social and cultural norms it’s been really helpful to be able to take the temperature like this. I obviously need to talk to my wife, but given the overwhelming support of dick hats I don’t thing we’re going to do it. Thanks, lemmings!

    Some girls wont want to fuck him, but they’e the type of girls he shouldn’t be fucking for the most part, btw its straight circumcised male writers that make girls be disgusted by it on tv and in movies. Some weird shit forsure, like girls asking for pictures but now in a hot way more in a curiosity way that is uncomfortable. Bitch you got google. He does have to clean it and shower daily, should be doing that anyways.

    Idk, I think are densensitized and will never know it, id rather bust fast than not be sensitive down there, shit feels good when it needs to, like I can feel stuff done to the skin more than I feel my head, the idea of my head just dryly rubbing against my boxers getting even more densistized is wild to me. The skin is protection, and the skin itself has a lot of feeling. Imo ppl act like it doesnt reduce pleasure but I think its female genital mutilation adjacent, you just don’t know what you lost. Adult cirmcusion is wild too, because you get the worst of both worlds, looks bad anyways

      For what it’s worth, my friend tells me that in his experience, intact men have better awareness and control of their level of stimulation, and therefore last longer.
