He told me to sit up on the table and he would be right back. I of course was already completely naked for the exam. He asked the doctor if he could fix it without circumcision and the doctor said he could try. I had never heard this word before, but I was hoping it would make my penis look like my cousins, but my dad said no.
He told my dad that I should probably be circumcised.
My foreskin was long and dangled off the end of my penis and had never retracted and I thought maybe there was something wrong with me, but I was too afraid to ask anyone.Īround the age of 5 or 6 at a routine trip to the pediatrician for a check up, the doctor noticed that my foreskin did not retract and that it should retract by this time. At about the age of four, was the first time I remember seeing my cousin's circumcised penis. Circumcision has amazed me since I was a very small boy.
