I'm intact. In my country it's only done for medical reasons.

My friend had circumcision performed in his 20's because he was having trouble during sex. He later confided to close friends that it was shit; Initially he was constantly uncomfortable because of the friction of his glans with underwear, until it desensitized!! and he had to lubricate to masturbate, among other things. He also said that sex was plain and simple worse, that he had lost a lot of sensitivity, and that it took him way longer.

Those who are circumcised who tell themselves they fine are deluding themselves.

That the US allows ritual infant genital mutilation is plain and simple barbaric.

utterly pointless insulting victims like this. stop.

I'm not insulting anybody, I'm simply pointing out that to pretend everything is fine, is looking the other way.

How else am I supposed to enjoy what remains of my penis?

I'm empathetic about your situation. I think it's the best to make the best out of it. I simply say that saying all is OK makes it sound as it's a trivial matter, and helps the practice keep being carried out.
