An update on the snip

William went to see the specialist. He was very reluctant, and he couldn't find a reason for the tearing. He suggested William might have a skin condition causing the skin not to heal properly, and he thought if he underwent the operation, the problem might just move further up the shaft. So he said he wouldn't consider the operation until after William had seen a dermatologist.

He also said if it turns out it's a skin condition, and it can be treated, he won't perform the surgery, even if William wants it done. He said William would be hard pressed to find anyone who would. He gave him a list of the complications and difficulties that can arise with adult circumcision, and has all but talked William out of wanting it done.

However, if he goes to see the dermatologist, and it's not a skin condition, then the urologist will perform the surgery, albeit reluctantly.

So I guess I can just hope it's not a skin condition and can't be treated, because if it can be, William has basically said he's not going to get it done, because he doesn't think the benefits outweigh the potential complications.

Maybe you could be clearer on the potential benefits.

I for one would risk loss of my brain if it meant I got more oral sex.

Hahaha!

But that would mean I would have to tell him that the only reason I don't do it more often is because of his foreskin. And then he'd feel pressured into doing it. And then what if something did go wrong? He'd be very resentful towards me!

The main issue I think he's worried about is the loss of sensitivity. Because his penis has matured with the foreskin over it, the skin underneath is more sensitive. If he takes that away, apparently the skin underneath can then grow coarser as a result (to cope with being exposed more to fabric, etc), and then there is a loss of sensitivity.

I think he is most worried about that.
