Should I Get Circumcised?

Hi Lisa,

I am not sure as to whether or not to be circumcised, some sites seem to be pro circumcision, and others are against... I have read your circumcision article and am still not sure... can you help me to decide?

Hi,

Thanks for contacting me. Unfortunately, I can't give you the answer as this is a very personal decision that only you can make for yourself. My husband who is circumcised loves being so, however I have heard from men who are not who are just as happy. There are pros and cons to each side.

Each side claims to be better. Honestly, it should be a case by case, personal decision and you ultimately have to decide what you want to do.

Sorry, I can't be of more help... but it is kind of like me asking you if getting breast reduction surgery is right for me... all you could do is tell me what you know about it and tell me the decision is ultimately mine... because in the end... I do not know if you will be happier or unhappier doing it, only you can answer that.

I wish you all the best!

Best,

Lisa

Follow Up-

The man who wrote this question, has since contacted me to report that he went through with the procedure and said that he is very happy that he did. He no longer gets infections, he claims that sex and masturbation is better and that his female partners are responding more favorably to his circumcised penis. In this case, the individual made the right choice for himself. However, I cannot stress enough that this is not the best choice for everyone and ultimately a man must discern for himself what it is he desires.
