Being Circumcised on Saturday

[manc-wannabe]

Thanks for the comments everyone I've spoken to Doctor and he's gonna still do it very tight, but in a way that doesn't overly impact on errections. Though he claims that that it will take me ages to come because of the removal of the sensitive skin - I'm okay with that though With regards to the relationship to my castration desires, its simply that if I think "what the hell have I done" with regards to the circ, I'll know that genital mods are a fanatasy, not reality, and no real harm will have been done - plenty of guys are circed after all.

So, going to go ahead with it tomorrow, and will keep everyone informed of my healing/outcome

I think your Doctor's joshing with you re. taking ages to come post circ. I was only 30 when I had my circumcision and I think I tried masturbating (gently) for the first time about 5 or 6 days post op. Handling my 'new' cock was so erotic. I loved the sensations of being hampered by the shortened skin plus needing to go easy. I came pretty quickly. However the mega erection I got just before coming pulled a stitch and a bit of the 'wound' opened. I showed it to the doctor the next day and he wasn't worried. He said it'd close up, but I should try not to disturb it. That was a tall order. I was like a kid with a new toy

Incidentally, I just remembered. When I was in the hospital pre-op, they gave me some pills. I asked the nurse what they were and she said one was a pre med to chill me out. I think another was an antibiotic, a third was something called stilboestol (sp?). She was gone again before I thought to ask what it was. After I came round from the anaesthetic I was pretty groggy and did a lot of sleeping. I was woken in the evening and had another round of pills (this time pain medication, antibiotic, plus stilboestrol). I was also given something to eat and drink. Several nurses came to see me and to have a look at my dressing, including nurses I'd met a few months earlier when I was in there recovering from a motorcycle crash. A a couple of them were very pretty and I remembered having flirted with them (as best as you can after an operation). Anyway, as my circumcision was done in the afternoon, they kept me in overnight. I slept fairly well except for being woken by a painful hard-on in the early morning. When a nurse came round with the drugs I told her that I'd guessed that the stilboestrol was to prevent erections. She smiled and said "Yes, it is." So I told her it wasn't working, which made her laugh.

Knowing what I know now about anti-androgens I don't suppose the surgeon expected the stilboestrol to work immediately. They probably intended to get enough of the drug into me to reduce erections for a week or two post-op. If your doctor hasn't spoken to you about this it might be worth asking if they intend to give you something to reduce erections.

Hi Riven,

Yeah I think he is - he definitly seems to enjoy his work and I think he says that as it gives him kicks. He's removing the frenum completely and leaving just enough foreskin so it doesn't hurt much when errect (but he says to expect a level of discomfort). I'm hoping it heals as quick as you experienced - I'm 6 years younger than you were at the time, and usually heal quickly. I'm being done on an outpatient basis with local anesthetic, with pain meds being given after. However, I'll admit that I'm planning on being a bit naughty, and seeing friends in the evening post circ (saturday night after all!), rather than lieing in bed, so I'm hoping that the meds work and that stitches dont tear! I'll ask him about anti-errection meds tomoz too. Thanks for the reassurance

I went to the pub the following evening. Not a sexy scene at my local - mostly full of farmers, but the landlady was nice and as I was single I'd often get into conversation with her. So she asked me what I'd been up to and I said, "you really wanna know?" She was all ears so I quietly told her all about the circumcision. She was fascinated (I don't know if you've seen Fawlty Towers, but she was a bit like Basil Fawty's wife Sybil). She kept coming back to me after serving other customers and wanted to know more. "SEVENTEEN STITCHES!" she screamed. "Goodness ..... you must have a big one!"

Hey

I think as with everything, mileage varies. Pre circumcision, it used to take me 5 - 10 mins to get off. Post circ (low, tight, frenum intact) takes at least 30 mins, sometimes up to an hour. I like the build up, and getting off is more of a journey now rather than something to do in a hurry.

I had a general for mine. Went in at 1pm, allowed home 5pm that evening. Didnt really have a problem with erections. Was tight, and a bit painful but the stitches held. If it gets really uncomforable, get into the feotal position. That REALLY helps.

As for how soon you can use it. I used it VERY carefully on day 3. It was painful, but that added to the pleasure. Just had to take it very carefully. Obviously, also need to learn a new technique, but the experimenting has been fun.

Took a lot of picutres (daily for the first few weeks) so if you want to see them, get in touch. Not sure how I can send them though.

Hope it goes well, and give us some post circ feedback

Hey, manc-wannabe,
How's the penis?

[Graf v Eierdorf]

I second that request...

...since I'm considering the same style, it would be especially cool to hear how it "shapes up" a couple weeks down the road and how it then feels/functions in actual "use"...

...and for the present, I imagine the most interesting aspect might be how you feel/think about having had it done, now that it's been done ... which is a fairly private thing, of course, but anything you might have to say about that would be interesting to hear.

Best wishes for good healing!

Hello,

Was a complication on Saturday - the anesthetic did not work. Despite several injections of lidocaine, the frenum wasn't numb. When the doctor touched it with a scapel, I nearly hit the roof. He didn't want to inject any more anesthetic as he was worried that it didn't work and that I had an allergic reaction to the lidocaine.The evening after the appointment, I could barely stand peeing - it burnt that bad and my penis was very swollen. 2 days after the attempt, the swelling has gone down, but it still hurts like mad to pee. As such, its back to square 1 whilst we work out what to do now. Benzocaine could be used, as could general anesthetic, but he's worried about any allergic reactions my body could have to them, given the swelling is larger than would normally be expected. He's talking to an anesthetic expert today and if he can sort that out, its been rescheduled for next saturday. Soo annoying it didn't happen as planned

[Riven]

What a shame. I do hope they can find an injectable anaesthetic that works for you. I didn't really mind being circumcised under a general, but local is a lot less bother and lower risk.

Have you ever had local anaesthetic injections before, like for dentistry?

[manc-wannabe]

I've had licodaine once, up my nose via inhalation when having nasal cautery work done (had frequent nosebleeds). Never had it injected before though nope. Had general anesthetic once when having teeth pulled when I was young. Soo annoying that my body and anesthetic don't seem to get on

[Graf v Eierdorf]

Drat ... the adverse reaction sounds singularly unpleasant and very frustrating ... best wishes for your second attempt!

[Riven]

Do you have many photos of your penis? It wasn't until after I was circumcised that I realised that although I was a photographer I hadn't taken many good pictures of my cock. Once it's done it's done and you'll be glad of the record.

Frenulum is known to be difficult to make numb. My doc had to make extra injectionafter everything was numb, but I still felt pretty painful when it was cut. So many nerve endings in there. As the pain was bearable I thought about these countless boys who get cut without any anesthetics.
Right after the circ I was given painkillers to reduce the pain as anesthetics wore off, but I didn't use them intentionally, to see and feel how it feels. For few hours pain was pretty close to unbearable, but then it faded and went away. Only slight itching remained. That kind of pain you could feel only once in your life

I dont know what sort of procedures they use in the us, but i was circucised nearly 27 yrs ago and it was done under general.
And others who i know to have been circumcised here, all have had it done under a general.

[stevesd]

Well I like cut cocks vice uncut, because many uncut guys don't wash themselves clean. I on hte other hand have a loose Circ when my dick is small it looks like I am not circumcised, you have to pull back the skin to see the glands. I had this one bloke from the Royal Marines in Iraq who could not keep his dick clean, Finally on some R&R and we got to take some real showers, I made sure the bloke's cock was clean and we fucked that night in a very careful place. The Brits have not been cutting their boys cocks for years, why us Yanks still do it? Remember the First Time when I was in Boot Camp and I saw a dude with a uncut cock, I said "My God, what is that", being a Farm Boy and most of the dudes I took showers in PE in high school were circumcised.
