Dear Considering Clipping,

I am a male in my late 30s and I was born in a foreign country, but decided to get it done. I decided to get the procedure done about 5 years ago and wish I would have done it sooner. Like Alice said, do talk to a doctor before getting it done. I called ask a nurse and I went to the doctor and got it done. It takes two to three weeks to heal, but once it heals, the sex, to me, is much better than before. Sex is not a chore anymore and you stay a lot cleaner now, too. Good luck and take care.

To the reader,

After being "natural" for years, my wife suggested that I get circumsized due to bouts of itching and infections. I had grown up with circumcized boys and men and envied them since they were always clean and dry. I had the procedure done and am happy to report that I'm happier than ever. My wife is extremely pleased since I'm "skinless" without any smegma or stink. My "new" largely expanded glans gives me a new lease on life, bringing her to orgasmic delights previously hidden. It's terrific! Go for it.
