    In which context does someone get a circumcision mid teens?

      I have a family member who got one in his 30s.

      Erections began to hurt so much due to phimosis, he and his wife weren’t having sex.

      Circumcision is not exclusively for the religious, there are medical reasons it may be chosen.

        Indeed. I hadn’t realised that the skin should be able to retract over the glans until a friend had mentioned an encounter with a lass. I thought… eh, over the head? He confirmed yes, over. So, I went home and tried it. Fuck me that hurt, I still have the scar despite the circumcision. Told my mum, went to the doctor, confirmed yes, need to chop chop.
