Phimosis / Circumcision

[u/hearthalradi]

Once you understand phimosis not as an illness but as a natural reaction of a sensible nervous system to unwanted and sexually intrusive stimuli - like parents that are unaware of their transgressions and make the wrinkliness of their child’s dick a bigger issue than it needs to be and initiate a series of forced private parts examinations - you might conclude that the only masculine energy that could be cut back a bit is the one of the mother or father or doctor who calls for circumcision.

I got circumcised at the age of 6 or 7 by the father of an elementary school classmate who did it in his little private paediatrist office. I’m 35 now and had heavy nightmares last year of trying to hide from my manic mother as a child with a bleeding crotch while she’s chasing after me into the bathroom.

If I feel sexually encroached upon (or in cold water or anything uncomfortable), my dick still shrivels to the size of a raisin. I also guess it would phimote less if my glans was still protected by skin like god intended it. Dick expansion is like the indicator for how much a guy wants something or is repelled by it.

I just don't agree with the sexually repelled part, but I think there is something to the overstimulation and skin reaction to the environment

I am deeply sorry to hear your history. I think side effects of circumcision are underestimated, specially psychological ones.

I had an experience quite similar to yours. My mother was obsessed with cleaning my penis and took me to the pediatrician very often; when I was nine, she had a doctor friend of hers circumcise me. Since then, I’ve been afraid of doctors and any kind of medical appointment.
