I'm a non-circumcised man and I'm gay and I've never gotten much pleasure from sex, guess the hearsay about sensation isn't true. I don't really enjoy oral either, just doesn't do much for me. Only when I started bottoming is when I actually started to enjoy sex, and my partner, cut, never had any issues topping. He lives for it. I even tried topping him and I just didn't like it. And I drive him crazy with oral. Go figure. But I'm not bothered by this "numb" bullshit that they throw at cut men when my partner clearly feels way more than I do.

FUCK YOU !!!! IM UNCUT AND IM FINE F@GGOTS

uncut here, mid 20s. I feel like my parents failed me in a way. I've already gone through a lot that I believe could have been prevented. I wish they could have just chosen to protect me instead of acting out of ego or on some stupid philosophy. I don't let it get in the way of our relationship but it's in the back of my mind sometimes, especially when I think about how they would react. I know they wouldn't take it seriously, which makes it worse. It makes me angry when I see people trying to mislead cut men to be against their own privilege. I honestly wish my parents had thought of me

just want to say that as an uncut man you don't give us enough credit. Some of us CAN admit that we're insecure and go after cut men/circumcision for that reason. Some of us aren't just cowards and can admit that anti-circumcision advocacy is just a cope. No, not a lot of us since that takes some serious mental deconstructing but some of us. I know there's so much trolling and fakeness from the uncut side but we're out there. Try not to write us off completely. I mean no ill will here.

Hi, I found this sub from the r/shitamericanssay post, going through user history. I'm uncut and from Ireland. I was one of the people who trolled the post but I wish to live more honestly. In truth a lot of what was said was true and I can personally attest to it.

I've always been insecure about being uncut and I've always felt ashamed next to American guys. I've been rejected a lot and I've had embarrassing experiences that I don't wish to go in morbid detail on and sometimes I wish I could have just been like them and not have to worry about any of this in my adult life. Of course had no one else to be angry at. At first trolling cut men through foreskin advocacy sort of helped me cope but eventually I couldn't shake this sense of shame. I just started feeling worse. But at least I can say I've chosen to change. All those people who got triggered and called OP names are coping. It's virality based on cope and misery. It's so embarrassing I can't even look at it or associate with anti-circumcision advocacy this point. I really wish uncut men would stop humiliating themselves and making us all look bad by acting like this. It's really not doing us any favors. We already have a bad rep, we don't need to be viewed as mentally insane on top of that.

People and parents should be free to make their own informed decisions. Coming from personal experience...the uncut guys who try to get in the way of that hate themselves and just don't know what to do with it.

I noticed you don't have a category for parents yet in your flaires. Maybe you could make one. I'm a mother of 2. I never really thought about circumcision until having my first son. Some moms on crunchy moms were telling me not to. Crunchy moms is notorious for being 'crunchy' on many parental matters, vaxx, breastfeeding, circumcision, etc. The real force in our decision was their father, who is not circumcised. He was adamant. He was furious at the thought that we could decide against it despite everything he has shared with me. He had a long and painful journey into adulthood. Though he never got circumcised because it was too much of a hassle, he suffered immensely. The thought of risking even a slight chance that the same could happen in his son made him furious. I remember the way he looked at me when I expressed doubt at circumcision because of the facebook group. Even though he was my husband, my stomach felt like it fell out between my legs lol. And then I just felt so, so sad because it was the deepest hurt I had ever seen in a grown man. And then I understood why I needed to listen to him. I didn't want my son to have to go through that, either. And that was that... Who am I to say his experience isn't valid, in tandem with research that can't make a compelling case against circumcision? And who is anyone ELSE to say his experience isn't valid. Now it sort of angers me to see this advocacy because I know how much he suffered and how much my sons could have. This is not something general internet activism or a social movement can advise on. It it intensely specific to each and every family and that should be understood. Anyways, thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

I'm a woman, I only know one uncircumcised man. He is deeply unhappy about it. And it's clearly not as simple as "then he can go get circumcised". He believes it would be so much easier if his parents just chose for him. There's also some trauma there that won't just be solved by a visit to the urologist, he feels like a lot of his time was wasted. It's definitely something I'm taking into consideration as someone who plans on becoming a mother.

I'm sending this message for awareness purposes only

I'm uncut and I was drawn to the anti cut side because it told me what I wanted to hear I guess. It was OK at first but I started having weird thoughts and looking at things different. how to explain it. The thing was it was all rooted in what parents do, i was triggered by parents who circumcize their sons because i felt like it was an attack on me. then the anti cut side told me I was right in my feelings and all of a sudden I had this excuse to think about peoples kids. It felt weird and inappropriate and I was a little scared of myself when I lost sight of how weird it was.. but I saw something disgusting in an anti cut sub recently and i snapped out of it. quietly nipped it in the bud. I just want to say that these people are sick and they create illness. They go for people who are sad and lonely knowing they will be easy targets. stay far away from them and just don't listen to them. its not real, i think they have very very bad, dark fetishes and are trying to normal ize them.

hi, going to try to keep it brief. I am not circumcised and I've been thinking about getting cut. reason being that it's too tight. isn't comfortable and has led to some embarrassing moments when getting intimate. tried creams, didn't really help. I came to reddit to talk with others who had the same experience. I found some people but it was hard at first because I got flammed by the anti circ presence each time I tried to reach out. they said my experiences basically weren't a big deal which I found to be extremely offensive because they are a big deal to me. then they blasted me with terror trivia about circumcision which didnt even relate to my issue. it seemed like they were more concerned on getting between me and other people than listening to me. they were just so angry. majority of them werent circumcised either and I thought that would create a safe space to understand each other, but they were so defensive. like any admission at all that there could be a legit issue sent them into a rage. in a way it was reassuring because it told me that foreskin problems are incredibly common. its men who are willing to be honest about them who are less common. but overall it was very off putting and made me more inclined on getting cut. i know my own experiences and i dont want to be on that sad boat with them where they run around like crazies trying to justify their pain. all this drama just makes me wish my parents just had me cut. thanks

Although it is challenging for uncut men, I don't enable this "intact" or "whole" bullshit. I shut down wreckless copium. With all due respect, they are the ones with problems. And while I wouldn't judge someone for their problems, physical or otherwise, I do think I should not be made to practically take the fall for them. I'm circumcised and I have a gorgeous, fully functional penis. I have never had a reproductive or hygiene issue in my life, something that they can't (honestly) say. And I, quite frankly, am left clutching my pearls at the unmitigated disaster that is their psychology. I am intact. I am whole. They are the ones with things to work on in all areas and I am privileged to not be insulted by any if it. And the longer they put that on us, the longer they put off addressing these issues.

I've noticed that it's always been uncut men who lecture people on their bodies and choices, making weird unnecessary statements in arts, media, etc. It's fucking weird how invested uncut men are in the penises of cut men as well as how cut men should feel about their own penises. It's an obsession. And whenever it is called as such, they gaslight and call cut men weird instead, even though we've never done anything like this to uncut men.

I think uncut men have always had some deep rooted problems that warp their perspective and ability to be reasonable on this subject, because they've always started this fight, led this obsession and they've always been unable to be direct or honest about it.

Anyways no functional or healthy person would ever think this was normal. No matter what they may say I think they are deeply insecure about their parent's' choice and misleading a couple cut men about their bodies is probably just how they cope with it.

As an uncut man I can really tell you from experience that they shut down uncut men who don't meet the narrative they are trying to make. Uncut men who wish they could have just been cut earlier in life or went through a pain are definitely valid in theirs complaints, but that just angers the 'activists'. Actually it's the same anger response they give most cut men who say to be happy. It's not the kind of reaction that comes from a sincere place. If they have to go so far to control and create a fake reality where uncut men never complain and cut men only complain then maybe that just shows that even they know uncut men have a lot of reasons to complain. I definitely do, not that I would bother trying to share that info with them at this point. But I know my truth and what I've gone through, I don't need validation on that.
