Of the adult male variety just so there's no confusion 🙂
Ok, without going into much detail it looks like I'm faced with the option of losing my ticky tackle for medical reasons.
Yes I fully expect to get some non-sensible responses on here ... I know the score so do your best ! 😀
equally I'm hoping there may be some who have first hand experience who don't mind offering some of that experience....

Sorry...couldn't resist! Hope it all works out OK for you and the little chap, though!
I wouldn't have expected anything less! One skin would have done though 🙂
i snapped my banjo string many moons ago.
taking a pee was pretty painfull for a few days..........good luck 😀

too much plucking?
Read the Virgin Soldiers, for the story of how they had it done to get out of the army.
I'm hoping I can keep my seat belt 8)
.
One skin, two skin, three skin, four....Yep. There are four of them.
Cheesy bunnet?
It's not that bad. I had some foreskin shrinkage that meant i had to get mine removed.
About 2 weeks of strong discomfort then it started to desensitize quite quickly after that.
If i'm totally honest, takes a bit longer to finish.

?
I anticipate that this thread will be cut short.
You'll be walking like John Wayne for a while

I was a bit slow with that one!
Mate of mine had it done a couple of years back for medical reasons. Said it was a non-issue.
Couple of mates have had it done, not happy bunnies.
First was a lad in our unit in Aldershot, said he could feel half the stitches pop when he got a bit of wind in his sails. We didn't help taking all the "Top Shelf" mags in for him.
Second was years later in our office, said it was very uncomfortable. Didn't pop many stitches, but we weren't around to help. 🙄
Had it done when I was in my teens, the surgeon made a mess off it so i had to have it redone, they also used the wrong dressing an adhesive one which you could imagine took form hold. One the most horrible experiences I've ever had.
Morning glory will be painful!
It knacks! It'll feel odd for a few years after too, especially when you submerge the chief in water.
A friend of mine was travelling abroad (in Latin America), when he developed an infection down there and had to be circumcised. He was 19 at the time, and reports that 'it hurt'. 'Alot'.
Had mine done, I was about 25 I think. It did hurt, I wont lie. But it desentises very quickly.
Worst thing...the stitches. No "action" for 6 weeks was bloody murder. I got about 3 weeks in. Got carried away one afternoon. The resultant bloodbath was incredible. Seriously. The mrs thought I'd slit my wrists. Had to visit the nurse to get a stitch put back in. 🙂
oh god 😆
😆 @ takisawa2
Balanitis xerotica obliterans, phimosis or something else?
Probly the best thing I've had done! Used to get a really sore 4skin at times. Had it lopped of & it was much better & still is!
Had no probs or issues since.

And your explanation to the Mrs was....?
🙂
Had mine done when i was early teens for medical reasons. Can't remember it hurting to be honest. Can get a bit of chafing if i don't have trunk style boxers on for longer rides. Apart from that no dramas!
@ takisawa2 - can I ask how you feel about it now post op ? .. Assuming the blood has stopped of course 🙂
Once you have decided to have the op there will be no pulling back 😆
oh god 😆

Has anyone mentioned leaving a tip for the surgical team?
Had the op at 26 for medical reasons and glad i had it done. In and out as a day patient and just lounged about the house in very loose pants for a week walking like John Wayne. No issues really, its just a bit painful having a piss for the first few days. The missus didnt help matters as she found it very funny to get all sexy to fire up my engines just for shits and giggles.
Wwaswas - we have a winner!
Tomfun - thanks for that .... kind of backs up a lot of what I've read...
For those who have had it done, do you get used to the feeling of being 'helmeted' ??
Stox, it feels fine now mate.
But then, it was almost 20 years ago. 🙂
Seriously, its not that bad. After a few weeks it just became "normal", so to speak.
You could always get a nice photo done, before its done...
Perhaps even commission a local artist to do something in watercolours.
Honestly, you'll not miss it. 😉
Had it done a few years ago for medical reasons. Some general advice below from my experience.
Was under for about an hour.
Took six weeks to heal OK.
[b]Strongly[/b] suggest you get some comfy briefs if you normally wear boxers as the stitches may catch. Put a gauze pad with some petroleum jelly in the front to prevent stitches catching. I used boxers for a short time and it was very bloody for a while!
Be warned: your frenulum (banjo string) will be cut and it has blood vessels so is more likely to bleed.
And you will be absolutely [b] gagging[/b] for some action by the time it heals!
Had it done for phimosis reasons. In and out hospital in a day. A couple of uncomfortable nights when I woke in pain a few times a night (for me, doing mental arithmetic like multiplying 79 and 362 gave enough distraction to ease the unwanted swelling and stitch stretching within a minute or two). It took slightly over a week before I was fine wearing anything below the waist. One day I couldn't stand anything rubbing, the next it was fine. Luckily I was able to work from home during this time. After that, no more pains.
Another interesting issue was peeing. I would pee in the pan, up the wall and down my leg all at the same time. That took a while to settle down.
That CR advert, down there, is a little unfortunate.

More common than I thought. Had it done for medical reasons when I was a small kid (the embarrassment!) Diagnosis was that I was just TOO BIG TO BE RESTRAINED. (Well, perhaps it wasn't, but that's what I always told girlfriends, as "medical issues" is a bit of a passion-killer).
You don't have to have the full short back & sides. They gave me a style that I think is called "low & loose". A sort of half-way house which is comfy and practical, if a little unusual. Think "Wilfred from the Bash St. Kids".
TMI?
Cooking a small portion of calamari a couple of days after?
What do you think Ringos are made from?
had mine off aged seven and three quarters as it was too tight.. never missed it never bothered me a non issue

Never eating cheese n' onion ringo's ever again
Wondered why they were occasionally chewy.
What a bunch of (ex-)bellends
Some of the quips are too cavalier by half.
a mate told me that it was well worth it, no real drawbacks to think of. 😀

Mine shrank so had to be removed as was, er, rather painful at times. All the sensations are there just not always when you expect them. Bathing in a bath with a couple of drops of tea tree oil helped the healing.
Can I suggest a word of caution on returning to the metaphorical saddle? As the sensitivity is not the same make sure of your locations before you commit!

Would halfshell not be a more appropriate name ?
I had mine done a few years back as I had a tight foreskin, had years of discomfort after sex, slowly ripping banjo string mostly. No real discomfort post op, laid on sofa for 3 days after being waited on hand and foot when I was really in very little pain!
No downsides to it atall, last a bit longer, no knob cheese, personal hygine a lot easier, no pain, and self-pleasuring is far more, well, pleasurable. There I said it, the best part of the whole thing!
A mate of mine had it done privately. Didn't cost much but he had to leave a tip...
I'm just asking so don't take offence guys....
I've heard, that by having the skin off, your fireman's helmet becomes a lot tougher and the skin far less sensitive. While you may all think this brings no drawbacks with it, your sexual partners may say otherwise.
So after having the skin off, did you turn into clodhopping thugs in bed or did you retain the jaw-dropping subtlety you previously used to bring many a fair lady (or man) to an exquisite climax not of this earth?
Obviously if you had it off when you were a nipper you've always been shit in bed.

Or were a friend of Jimmy Savile.
[i]did you retain the jaw-dropping subtlety you previously used to bring many a fair lady (or man) to an exquisite climax not of this earth?[/i]
Retain the who to do the what now?
I had it done 18 months ago , the thought of it is worse than the actual procedure . They sent me home with some some painkillers but i did not really need them . The only real problem was in the morning about 6ish if you get my drift , make sure your bladder is empty and your thinking of your mum naked .
I had two weeks off work but depends on your type of job if that is necessary .
Tight briefs for a few weeks after as your helmet will be sensitive and you will want to stop it bouncing around .
As for the bedroom they give you a leaflet telling you not to use your old chap for anything other than urination for 6 weeks , i lasted 5 and a half although it took a few go's before i felt i could really trust it to give her the good lovin.
Basically its not as bad as you think . Good luck
Thanks for the honest input. Appreciate it.
I'm not 'flapping' 🙂 over the decision ... To be honest, if it comes to the choice of keep or get rid, I'm 90 odd % sure now that it's coming off.
