That particular choice MIGHT be a dicey one to make, me thinks.
Several years back, ex and I were friends and lovers with a couple, the male of which was uncircumsized. He was not my first, but the first we had a long time friendship with. So we were concerned for him when he told us his doctor said he was going to have to be circumsized NOW. Seems he had developed some scar tissue that was causing incomplete retraction of the foreskin, a "touchy" issue when an erection occured, causing him pain.
And so here he was, headed towards celebrating one of those ending in zero birthdays of less than young years, faced with the prospect of a change he had fears about. Obviously, something needed to be done. His life had been lived "uncut"; his greatest fear was that once his "protective shield" [his words, not mine] was gone, his penis was going to be "exposed" to such constant stimulation, he would eventually lose all sensitivity (as a defense from a state of over-sensitivity).
All the reassurances from the many "cut" men they knew were of no consolation. His wife became concerned he would become a "self-fullfilling prophecy" (a strong possibility in this kind of situation) So she (on the q.t.) called the administrative nurse for the urologist and relayed the situation. Two days later, the mail brought a 9x12 kraft envelope chock full of goodies aimed at dissolving his fears. He went into surgery feeling much more positive. Once released by his surgeon for "normal sexual activity" to resume, a grand "coming out" party was held. Keeping his tender but ready organ's newbie state in mind, the ladies oohed and aahed and cooed - and a "star" was born!
All a matter of attitude? Yes! Keeping mindful attitude can be heavily affected by others and their response.
