Depressed over circumcision

Postby Jefr » Fri Feb 24, 2017 8:47 pm

I know it's an odd topic but it really bothers me lately
I was circumcised as a baby and never really thought of it as a bad thing but recently I found out that circumcision decreases sex sensitivity by 75% and has some other negative effects and I just can't over the fact that I'll never be able to enjoy sex as much as I should've
I know it's sounds like an absurd thing to be depressed about but I guess since I already have so many things going on in my life that every stupid little thing would break me down
I feel hopeless and angry at the fact it's unreverseable and that my parents would do such a thing without my consent

I think that you're feelings are completely valid and your situation is not absurd if it's concerns you. But are you depressed because your sex life is unsatisfying or you've got depressed after you read it? I'm not professional but if your sex life is unsatisfying, maybe try consult it with your doctor. Maybe he/she knows about some remedies that increase penile sensitivity.

I'm glad you understand
most people find it absurd and that I should just "man up" and get over it but I can't really.

Sex feels dull to me and I got zero sensation
until not so long ago I thought it was normal and everyone is like that
but when I found out circumcision caused it and it shouldn't be that way I felt Depressed and empty

From what I know there's nothing that can be done
that's the reason I feel so hopeless about it
