I feel like circumcision is a really bizarre practice we should stop doing, but I don't want that conversation to get conflated with this nonsense.
it's a medical procedure that has legitimate uses, such as a permanent treatment for severe phimosis. Absolutely should not be done to kids just because fictional sky daddy is obsessed with dicks.
In most cases it is not medically necessary. It should be addressed on a case by case basis. It should not be the norm.
I got circumcized at 13 for 2 reasons. My foreskin was pretty tight and it hurt when I get hard. Then watching porn made me think my penis was not normal.
I really regret it. I wish I can go back to having a foreskin.
That's a medical condition and completely circumcising is the most common and default solution.
I know, but nobody tells you that your tip of your penis hurts/sensitive when you're running or walking for too long. I have to wear briefs or some kind of support when I run. Even tho it's better, it hurts after awhile.
I have no problems with that. Not sure how long ago it was for you but maybe it gets better with time.
.... Err .. no? Or you have very raw fabric clothing or something else is up, bud.
Or do you mean you normally used no underwear when working out and it isn't that long ago (months, not years) since you had the procedure. Then yeah, there is a difference. But it all err.. should work out.
Speaking as one to the other if you catch my drift. Be happy you did it bud, the pain was just the one of the nasty other complications possible.
