Hey there i was wondering can a man be circumsized at any age? also does being circumsized inhance sex and make it last longer or is that all mind over matter... Sorry if this makes no sense lol
solidadvice4teens answered Wednesday June 17 2009, 8:07 pm: Urologists are reluctant to circumcise adult males because of the pain involved. They usually only do so if the person's foreskin is cracked, has tears and cannot be pulled back to expose the glans.
The glans (head of penis) are exposed when one is circumcised and rub against clothing, underwear etc. making them rough. This decreases sensitivity whereas a non-circumcised male has skin protecting the glans.
It's believed that they receive slightly more pleasure as a result of it not being permanently exposed. The glans are protected and more sensitive with moisture as well.
These days a lot of parents aren't circumcising infants. There's nothing in the way of benefits when it comes to decreased risk of rare penile cancer, STDS etc. Mainly it's being done for religious reasons and or cosmetic so the kid will look like his father, everyone else in the locker room etc.
That said it can be done at any age but urologists prefer their to be a real reason such as cracking, pain when you try to retract foreskin or inability to do so above cosmetic reasons.
Another reason to get it done is cleanliness. It's believed that it's easier for children not to have to be taught how to retract the foreskin to clean the glans. Also smegma which is a hard, yellow discharge dries on the glans in intact males.
I'm letting you know all of this in addition to what you asked incase you wanted to be circumcised as an adult male.
Not that it matters but I recommend circumcision for the reasons above as it's very hard to fix an adult foreskin that is cracked or won't retract. Others may differ but I think it's right. [ solidadvice4teens's advice column | Ask solidadvice4teens A Question ]

As for the sex... well, opinions are highly divided on the matter. Let me say this with certainty, you lose quite a lot of sensitivity in the penis, which will prolongue sex. However, you will also lose some of the sensations that a non circumcised man will have. It will never be quite as intense for you.
Of all the people I know, only one has actually had it done as an adult, and this is what I am basing this on. The other opinions are obviously a bit useless since they have always been circumcised or not circumcised.
