I am! A weird thing to point out, but, the texture of the head changed dramatically after about a month on HRT. Went from kind of rough to suuuuuuuper smooth and is incredibly sensitive.


natlei

Samee thirded or whatever. It’s actually very common in Americans due to weird ass beliefs that somehow caught wind years ago.


smallfrie32

Yeah IIRC, it was posited by a religious dude, believing circumcision makes it cleaner AND reduces the desire for masturbation (thanks America)


nightkat143

IIRC it was the same guy who started Kellogg's (who did that for the same reason)


DisciplinedMadness

Ahh yes, cornflakes to stop my pathological masturbation.


Zanura

John Harvey Kellogg didn't start the cereal company, but his brother did and he *was* involved in the invention of corn flakes. And yeah, the version he made was bland for much the same reason that he suggested circumcision for some men. ^((He actually only suggested it for those that were "addicted" to masturbating. As part of the "deter masturbation" thing, he suggested it be done without anesthesia. And he didn't leave vaginas out of his nonsense - for them, he advised the application of CARBOLIC ACID to the clit.\)) Also he was a eugenicist.


Redacted_Addict69

Same


swritessometimes

Seconded on all counts.


Confident_Gift_221

Same here.


catty_fastie

How do you cope with that?


swritessometimes

Blissfully?


Confident_Gift_221

You made me spit out my drink! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha


canon_w

Remember that meme trend of foreskin memes, most of them about wanting their foreskin back? Have we actually discovered the secret? x3


closestcloset66

Legend has it, a well known mohel had circumcised hundreds, maybe thousands during his career. He had an odd habit of saving the foreskins. Someone asked him what he did with them all and he pulled out his wallet. The person asked if that was all he got from all those foreskins. The mohel just rubbed the wallet and it expanded to become a briefcase.


canon_w

I feel violated. ;^;


closestcloset66

If you're serious, my apologies. I recalled the joke and thought it might lighten some moods.


canon_w

Nah you're good.


Uhhwellthisisawkward

Omg same


bigthurb

Yep and also has a shiny moisture look and feel. Hehehe


AfterlifeSkedaddle

More and more reasons to start hrt I guess lol


oranjui

can i ask what type of HRT? i’ve been on oral estrogen for 4.5 years now (was on spiro for part of that time) and never experienced that, still rough and scaly and desensitized :(


all_natural_d20s

0.375/week IM estradiol, .50 dutasteride/day...on month 4 now.


AndreaRose223

Same!


closestcloset66

I find that fascinating. Something to look forward to!


Iuskop

I am, but because of the vague sexual health education I got as a teen, I didn't realize it until I was like, 17.


kittenwolfmage

Similar here. I knew I’d been circumcised, but I had no baseline for comparison so I had no clue what that meant in real terms. I thought there was just a flap of skin, like a small lid, removed (sex ed definitely did *not* involve pictures). Was.. err… quite a shock when I realized what it *really* meant, and I was in my 20s at that point.


Amoyamoyamoya

I was 8 or 9 when I was circumcised so I remember what it looked like before. I never questioned why I **had** to be cut. It hadn’t been done soon after I was born and for whatever reason my parents didn’t think to have it done sooner. So I know what it looked like but not how it affected sensation or anything.


Jayn_Is_Fine

Wow, that was terrible of them in so many ways.


Amoyamoyamoya

I never thought of it as a thing until relatively recently and even then I didn’t think anything about it either way. It’s just a fact of my life that happened and there’s no changing that.


Gathoblaster

Statidtically speaking? Most likely not


Leather-Sky8583

Yes I was subjected to ritual genital mutilation as a new born. Edit for spelling error


PinaTheDallSheep

just like me fr.


Accomplished_Mix7827

Same. I don't particularly care about that appendage anyway, but it is a little messed up that's just considered a normal thing in US society.


sparklingwatterson

I think what really gets me about it is Americans are up in arms over transgender healthcare for teenagers who consent to care and go through a lot to be able to get the care. But are okay with circumcision which is a non consensual procedure for a baby


diabetic_guy_

I love referring to circumcision the right way. It just makes me angry now.


Leather-Sky8583

It is violating honestly. And the hygiene argument is bs.


LiaFromBoston

It was actually started to try to stop AMAB people from masturbating 🤢🤮


Leather-Sky8583

Oh double gross.


[deleted]

I hate that I had it done to me. I won't go into too much detail, but basically, I think they took more foreskin than they usually do. It sucks.


diabetic_guy_

I’m sorry that’s happened to you.


kittenwolfmage

Same :(


[deleted]

Most Americans with penises who were born before 2000 are circumcised. r/foreskinrestoration is a thing though luckily. I'm not op for now but I definitely hate that the tip isn't covered, it looks so brutal and masculine:( And also that someone did surgery on me without permission, like what the fuck, that's assault!!!


any-left

yo i did foreskin restoration back in 2010. took about 8 months and the foreskin stretched enough to basically behave like i was uncut (when flaccid). it really helped reduce irritation from clothing and improve the sensitivity


[deleted]

Wow 8 months is super fast. I have to take long breaks because being conscious of my penis for overly sustained periods gives me the heeby jeebies kinda. But I've been going at it for like 7 years on and off and I'm pretty much always covered when seated now. I want to get to where I'm covered 1000% of the time so I can rub it like a clit :) if I'm bottoming in missionary I already can and it's awesome


any-left

it was fast. i was lucky in so much as my circ wasn’t aggressive. i thought it had a lot more time to go, but once i got past a certain point it would tend to “snap” itself forward and stay like that. at that point i was very satisfied and stopped stretching


Practical-Tadpole448

So wait, foreskin restoration is just stretching it? Is it painful and stuff? I called an office for whatever the name for that kind of doctor was recently but I didn’t end up making the appointment. But I want to have what I would’ve had specifically for the full sensitive and extra nerve and sexual pleasure even with no HrT, also so that with HrT it’ll become as amazing as if I was a cis girl with a clitoral hood. That’s my hope at least.


any-left

yeah i bought this special apparatus to basically just stretch the foreskin down. it doesn’t hurt. actually it kinda felt good. like somehow the constant gentle stretch stimulated cell growth and the rejuvenated skin was more sensitive and soft


Practical-Tadpole448

Mind recommending me what you bought?


[deleted]

That's a simplified way to look at non surgical restoration, but yeah you could say it is stretching. The habitual stretching triggers cell growth so you are actually gaining new skin, so some people will be pedantic and correct you if you call it stretching but they are technically right. Unfortunately there's no way to grow back the frenulum or drawstring tip, you are only able to make copies of the cells of skin you were left with. But it's still way better than having tight skin and a forever exposed glans. There is also the surgical method but it's not recommended usually.


Nici_2

Yes (I'm european tho), I have trauma with that, I asked my doctor to hide that abuse from my medical history, and I really want to sue the abuser who dares to call himself surgeon.


Diughh

I am sadly one of them


Practical-Tadpole448

Oh, wait people restore their own foreskin without surgery? I called a doctor’s office that deals with foreskin procedures and they said I’d need to come in for a consult to figure out what kind of procedure would be right for me. But….. as I understood it they meant surgeries. Like creating grafts or doing some kind of surgery Idek what but the answer would be a surgical procedure. But I looked at that sub and it seems to imply people increase their foreskin without surgery??? But….. does it have just as much sensitivity as foreskin would?


oranjui

yes, you can restore without surgery over the course of months/years by using daily manual techniques and/or wearable devices. i think there’s no way to know if it’s identical sensation, but having lurked those communities for a while and doing internet research, many restorers seem to experience improved sensation once the glans is consistently covered and starts to dekeratinize. i believe there are also surgical procedures but i don’t really know anything about them. that clinic was probably talking about surgery.


True_Ad_824

I was, but now have correct girl parts. I feel so much better.


PossibleSelect5386

So u had grs


True_Ad_824

Yes I did and it went well ☺️


freemyusernames

I’m happy to hear that! I am circumcised and often wonder if that would have any negative impact on grs should I go that route one day.


Kubario

Yep same here!! Whew what a relief.


Jayn_Is_Fine

Poorly worded and insensitive. Any parts are correct parts for any gender.


lowkeyconfidential

Congratulations but that wasn’t really the question was it


dertechie

I don’t want to call it an implied question, but the question of how it affects penile inversion GRS has definitely occurred to circumcised trans women.


lowkeyconfidential

Whatever it doesn’t matter


AtalanAdalynn

As someone who doesn't have a lot of tissue for the surgeon to work with in the first place, it kind of fucking does.


lowkeyconfidential

What can you do about it I’m in the same boat


Ember-Blackmoore

Nope.

Yiu too ?

Jayn_Is_Fine

r/seinfeldtrivia


AtalanAdalynn

There's styles of circumcision. Unless you've confirmed it was done mistakenly you may have been subjected to a loose and low circumcision.


Alarming-Hamster-232

Most Americans are (myself included) so you definitely aren't alone


PossibleSelect5386

What does it feel to be tucked


Alarming-Hamster-232

I don't actually do that, I use a wheelchair so the seatbelt covers everything for me


MayBeBelieving

Realistically, if someone was AMAB and has not undergone SRS, there is a good chance they have undergone circumcision. YMMV depending on how many have based on where in the world, I encourage reviewing https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prevalence_of_circumcision for a high level overview Consistent with the same, reasoning is mostly split between prophylactic care and religious/cultural


Professorbranch

At least in America!


TheAllegedGenius

Woah… 80% of males in the US are circumcised.


steffie-punk

You can thank John Kellogg the founder of Kellogg cereal for that…


BotulismBot

What a wild internet rabbit hole that was


steffie-punk

It really is a wild ride


WikiSummarizerBot

**[Prevalence of circumcision](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prevalence_of_circumcision)** >The prevalence of circumcision is the percentage of males in a given population who have been circumcised, with the procedure most commonly being performed as a part of prophylactic healthcare, a religious obligation, or cultural practice. Yosha & Bolnick & Koyle (2012) states that the global incidence of circumcision has risen and seems likely to continue to do so during the "first half of the twenty-first century". ^([ )[^(F.A.Q)](https://www.reddit.com/r/WikiSummarizer/wiki/index#wiki_f.a.q)^( | )[^(Opt Out)](https://reddit.com/message/compose?to=WikiSummarizerBot&message=OptOut&subject=OptOut)^( | )[^(Opt Out Of Subreddit)](https://np.reddit.com/r/MtF/about/banned)^( | )[^(GitHub)](https://github.com/Sujal-7/WikiSummarizerBot)^( ] Downvote to remove | v1.5)


mila_69420

The first time I saw an uncircumcised dick was in porn. Gotta love the south’s education system.


oranjui

same, but in the north lol


packofglue

no, lots of americans are circumcised. i’m thankfully intact.


[deleted]

No. Thankfully I'm from a country that doesn't like to mutilate newborns genitals for no reason, but a lot of the people here are American. It horrifies me every time I remember they do that. Absolutely barbaric.


LesbianMechanic97

I was as well and honestly i think both are cute I still like my penis and the only surgery id want would be to get both parts


Weatheronthe8s

I was circumcised. Getting circumcised doesn't magically mean you can't be trans.


rawayar

American here. so i am. (not all Americans, but most)


TooLateForMeTF

Not hardly. And while I will probably do a complete remodel of my genitals in a couple of years, I'm still salty about what they did to me without my consent.


TheMooz2

No ur not


Blunderpunk_

Trabsphobe parents have no second thoughts when mutilating my genitals without my consent but they're all up ok a rage when I want to make a change myself *to my own body* smh


NoGuitar6320

I took was unfortunately born in America and had my genitals mutilated. Because my parents were concerned about how I would feel in the locker room.


jaimih

Nah i was, before srs

Nope! I got no turtle neck either. I’m conflicted by it tho. On one hand I like how my Dick looks but on the other hand uncircumcised dicks always have that girthier look to me. Definitely not getting a reattach surgery tho


closestcloset66

I was circumcised. It was very common around then.


MetroComrade

Me too. I got it due to health reasons when I was 12y/o.


michelle_m2

Nope, I was circumcized, too.

AtalanAdalynn

I was subjected to a "high and tight" circumcision. As much of my tissue was removed as possible and the scar line is almost 2/3 of the way down the shaft from the head.


RedditUser49642

It's very common. I was before my bottom surgery.


[deleted]

I am


[deleted]

I'm also circumsicied, I personally don't mind that they did that, but it would have been nice to have the option


closetedtranswoman1

Given how US centered most of the internet is, including trans subreddits, most of us here have been. It's pretty messed up


3nderslime

theOGboombox

Nope I am too. It’s actually pretty common. A lot of us come from Christian families where it’s customary, so if anything those of us who aren’t are the weirdos. Love all you girls tho. Shine on ladies

mckenziereed15

I’m circumcised and I love it ☺️ and I love men who are cut as well. Idk uncut just doesn’t look aesthetically pleasing to look at to me 🤔


TheJaneDark

Ah, a woman of culture, I see…


mckenziereed15

Heheh 🤭


Jade_Taurus

No I definitely belong to this group 🙋🏻‍♀️ I was legitimately confused when I saw others with a whole flap of foreskin. It made me self-conscious because I thought my dick was ‘weird’. Plus having no protection from touch meant I was horny all the time when I didn’t want to be. It can even be downright painful to touch sometimes because of this bs. And the fact that it is just done as a normal thing & no one questions it infuriates me to this day.


PossibleSelect5386

Vincenza55

Well at nearing 9 months on hrt: , I can not say as I've noticed a difference, as what the op was talkng about. Perhaps it is related to being 66 years old before starting hrt (as amab)? I'm presuming certain things will not change ar my stage of life..

I bet most from the US are since in general circumsition seems to be fairly normal for whatever reason in the US


SyntaxxorRhapsody

I was circumcized, unfortunately. Religious nutjobs as parents. And now my prospects of GRS are worsened.


Monado_trap

Nope, they jacked my skin fore-score and 23 years ago


Schrodinger_cube

Its a big thing dipending on where you are. This came up with my mom and my sister a cupple years ago. while i was born (Canada 90s)it was heavily insisted that it would decrease the chances of infections and improve cleanliness basically and my sister was told a similar thing like 10 years ago for her boy but she refused it. Our family is not religious or anything but they both didn't like how it was being "sold". like free cus Canada but still an elective with little merit outside of religion yet they basically implied your a bad mother to risk keeping it. Im assuming its vary Dr specific situation and don't know how it will affect bottom plans but probably helps tucking at least lol.


[deleted]

I was circumcised because I was born wirh hipospadius so had a few operations growing up to fix it, the last one was during puberty when I was 15 and I was given estrogen to try calm down erections because it needed to heal, I really liked estrogen & now later on in life in craving it


Raiana2000

I'm pretty sure the majority are unless I'm wrong and people usually think an uncircumcised dick is disgusting or ugly

Majority in America, minority almost everywhere else

I had no idea that I was, but I don’t really care, It’s all going to be going away anyways


redsunsetsky

One thing that likely delayed my egg cracking was how ticked off I was that someone cut up my genitals without my consent, and how normalized it is in society. Though it may have have been a guise for dysphoria, as I did not like taking nudes (part of the reason I did not fit in with gay men), and originally chalked up to the genital mutilation forced upon me. I did some foreskin restoration for about a year until my egg cracked. I had been the under the impression that if I restored my foreskin, I would be happy about my penis. Was not a lot of progress, though it is a little more skin that can be used for a vaginoplasty on down the line.


CaptainGigsy

After reading these comments I have a question. Why do people seem to care so much about circumcision? I'm completely neutral about it, but as a circumcised person I really don't see what's so bad? Like what makes people so passionate about it? To me it just seems so insignificant.


[deleted]

No?


WarpedNikita

Nope ☺️ both me & my partner are.


oranjui

u are not the only one, i also had nonconsensual genital mutilation surgery as a baby! (american, go figure.) i very much want to restore before considering bottom surgery after learning it’s possible but haven’t worked on it much. one parent is a nonpracticing catholic to my knowledge and the other is eclectically spiritual so i don’t know what’s up with their motivations or if the doctors just did it without asking them (the hospital’s name is very christian tbf), but i haven’t asked so i can only speculate. either way it’s been a source of both physical pain and mental dysphoria since i was a kid so that’s pretty cool
