Question:
I was wondering if because I am uncircumsized I will perform different when I'm having sex than circumsized males. Also we were having sex ed class at school when the teacher showed an uncircumzied penis. Everybody laughed and some said "thats disgusting." Is my girlfriend going to care? I don't want to displease her because of my penis.

I read one study that said 80% of U.S. men are circumcised, while 80% of European men are uncircumcised. Whether or not you have a foreskin does not determine your ability to perform sexually. Having sensitivity, caring, a gentle touch, and concern for your partner are the types of things that matter. Fewer and fewer male babies are being circumcised in our country, so it is only a matter of time before people become more aware of what an uncircumsized penis looks like. Hopefully your partner will care about you as a person - rather than your foreskin. Best wishes.
