Does being circumcised affect penis growth

My parents had me circumcised when I was twelve. This is around the time puberty started. Could this have had any affect on my size now as an adult?

No.

Can you elaborate?

My parents had me circumcised when I was 3…and i can say no

Since puberty is the time you grow the most, does having it circumcised during that period in your life make a difference?

Needle, being circ’d doesn’t change how your penis will grow. It removed some extra skin, it didn’t shorten the actual penis. And I have to ask, you said you were 12 when the procedure was done; and that was how many years ago?

About 8 1/2 to 9 years ago.

I had a misconception that circumcision increases penis size, because I grew at least 1” within 6 months after circumcision when I was 12. From my own experience, I can say it does not hinter the growth of our penis at its growing age.

It doesn’t inhibit growth, but it does promote turkey neck, I think.

I’m not sure that you can say that, Asnoman and Tri.Edge. I mean, you can say it, but it’s not proof of anything, because you do not know how much you would have grown if you had not been circumcised.

I am not aware of any studies alleging a size difference between the circumcised and the natural penis. I’ve seen at least one study that positively posits that there is no difference.

Has ANYONE not been circumsized and PE’d to totally fill out the foreskin?

I don’t think it alters anything growth wise one way or the other.

Although offered as a statement of fact, I’d say that the removal of any part of one’s body (other than those parts known to regenerate themselves-hair and nails) on the basis that it’s “extra” is taking credit away from the millions of years it took specific features to develop.

Are we evolving towards more foreskin or away from it or is the amount we have “just right”? Hard to say, but certainly with our current dunderheaded ability to fathom such things, I would say that the removal of something from the human body as, “extra” is presumptive.

Can you survive without an ear? Yes, clearly, but that doesn’t make that ear an, “extra” ear, nor does it make it a functionless appendage.

I don’t discount the notion that the way (and time during which) an individual is circumcised might affect penile growth. A very tight circumcision might inhibit the ability of the penis to attain the same level/size of erection that may have been possible were more skin left on the penis.

Also, the cutting of the penis during the peak of puberty might have some effect on the penis by altering the chemistry within it during this crucial time due to the fact that the surgery is essentially a trauma and with trauma comes trauma chemicals. But then, what’s to say that these “trauma chemicals” also couldn’t juke your young shwantz in some way to make it bigger.

Alas, this will be impossible to determine because the answer could only be determined by doing experiments on the order of what one finds in ‘Brave New World’ which we, at least to my knowledge, are not conducting right now.

So, yeah, I can see a chance that this could have some effect. Might play into what you did with your own son if you ever had one, but where we’re concerned, it’s usually a hand you’re dealt and you just need to deal with what you’ve got. Wouldn’t hold any hard feelings out on my parents for getting it done though. The doctors tell them it’s all good and the parents believe. There’s, “no difference” and foreskin is, “potentially unhygenic” and could, “cause problems” and all of that, but really, who knows.

You’re my hero Wantsmore. I was annoyed by the “extra-skin” comment, but resisted the temptation to respond as I’m new here. :)

I was circumcised as an infant, and I’m not happy about it. I wish I was consulted before the procedure was done. I would really like to have the foreskin back.

I don’t think being circumcised would make any difference in penis growth development unless he was cut very tight. Then there might be a problem with the shaft skin having constant tension against it growing, almost a reverse stretch.. I guess.
