my name is matthew. I was circumcised a few days after birth. about a year ago i really started looking into and researching circumcision. before that I think it's always been on my mind. i ran cross country and track for 5 years in middle and high school, and if my memory is correct, there was uncomfortableness in practice and races. I recently said to one of my friends that there's usually an underlying uncomfortableness in everyday life (walking around, playing, ) and masterbating.
I've talked to my mom about why I was circumcised, and it was because they didn't think anything of it, especially after my older brother.
I've got really good friends. It helps to talk to others about it. Words said to me were something like "other people were hurt too, other people were f---ed over too" forget, forgive and move on" I was talking to an older man about a relationship that I had had. I was sad over that, but also too everything in life. He said if you're going to chase after one girl, you're going to waste your life. He said ~"I know a guy that did that, he chased after one woman and it ruined/wasted his life" I've been manually restoring for 3/4 year, on and off, and very shortly will begin restoring with the silicone TLC tugger. It hurts alot for me.
I was thinking that if your thinking about something, zooming in and out might help bring context. In a broader view, other people around me were circumcised and hurt. It's very comforting to know that there are others.
Earlier than this, a few years back, i said that it was a lie to forget about the bad things, that you would be living a lie to forget about them. What a guy replied to me was: that it's not a lie to remember better times.
i'm up in the northwoods. Just being outside is good. Sleeping under the stars is something else.

speaking with truth is very rewarding for me. I think that I feel pressured to sway my thoughts someway, one way or the other, on this site.
I like to help people, and i hope some happiness gets to others

" i'm 23, and i got circumcised soon after birth, back then where I'm from (eastern ontario, canada) it was a thing about health and cleaniness. Most people i know are 'cut' aswell..... socially where i am from, 'uncut' penisis are seen as "gross" or "dirty".... i know that isn't the case.... i personally see circumcision as a good choice, one i feel i'm glad to have, and will probably have my children toget done as well.... i know its doing surgery without their consent, but i feel its better that way, i don't mean to sound crude, but 'cut' penisis look better, is that wrong fro me to thing, maybe, it is kind of vain in hindsight, but i guess its an individuals choice "
