Implant & Circumcision Today - Dr. Perito

[Up4Real?]

Having lived with a foreskin as an adult and then doing a circumcision, because I wanted it for several reasons, for me being circumcised is much better! That said, I do not understand why some on this site, mostly uncircumcised, are so against circumcision. If a guy wants to be circumcised it’s his choice, no one should question or ridicule.

ETGuy,
Thanks for your response.
My take on this is this is a site for learning about all such matters. There was no ridicule intended.
You are in a unique position as having experienced both aspects of the issue and could likely inform others of the benefits. Is that something you might do?
Thanks again.

Hi Up4Reql
Yes I would discuss just PM me.

My surgery went well and I've had surprisingly little pain since then. I ended up not getting the circumcision. Dr. Perito felt like the implant would automatically retract my foreskin enough to uncover my glans like I wanted.

I go back 11.7 to have the staples removed and to be inflated/activated.

I highly recommend Dr. Perito and the infra-pubic approach.

Congratulations, welcome to the brotherhood.
Speedy recovery.

Congratulations. Please keep us posted on yout progress and the reality of keeping your foreskin. I have no idea if this is normal or not but with cycling, especially of the “gearshift” variety it seems like not only does the shaft seem to become more normal but the glans also seemed to have enlarge. Not to worry though, even though more snug when passing over the glans it seems to accommodate.
If you want more detail on that specific exercise vs. Perrito’s, type “gear shift” or “gearshift” in the search window of the opening page. I have found it to be of more benefit and with quicker results.
I might also note there is old research indicating continued improvement with implant satisfaction at two years. Additionally, in some cases, continued enlargement. Does anyone think there might be a connection?
Again, best of luck from a guy with no regrets after two years….while not perfect still much better than what I / we were dealing with.

An implant and circumcision are separate decisions; an intact foreskin usually doesn’t prevent implant surgery. Circumcision may make sense with phimosis, repeated infections, scarring, or hygiene problems, but it shouldn’t be automatic just because someone is getting an implant. I’d ask the surgeon why it’s recommended and how it could affect swelling, recovery, and sexual activity.

For anyone with a tight or painful foreskin, a private consultation can clarify the options. I’ve seen adult circumcision New York providers offer local anesthesia and one-visit treatment, but the right choice depends on the individual exam and aftercare plan.

The responses surrounding circumcision on FT are always interesting and sometimes very passionate. It's interesting considering that for each of us you are either circumcised or not and there's no way of knowing what the sensation/feeling is of being circumcised or not circumcised is unless you decide to get circumcised as an adult.

I was circumcised at birth, so I really have no way of knowing what having a full foreskin is like. I am lucky in that whoever performed the circumcision left the frenulum intact (whew!). I know some are not as lucky from research I've read and the frenulum was cut. Personally, I wish I had not been circumcised. Then, as others have done for a variety of reasons, I could have decided to have it done as an adult if I wanted to for whatever reason. But that decision was taken away 75 years ago without my consent.

My mother said she never asked that I be circumcised, but a nurse took me for a few minutes and when I was returned I had been circumcised. I did some research on that, and indeed in the 40's & 50's many U.S. hospitals performed routine newborn male circumcisions as an automatic default or standard hospital procedure rather than requiring explicit, individual informed consent as is standard today. I guess it's too late to sue them now .
