By my suggestion, a friend of mine, Dr.
Claudia Miranda Villa Nova, a physician specialized in Urodynamics (the workings
of the bladder), also interested
in circumcision, did research among the patients in which she proceeded an
urodynamic valuation, in order to establish which is, in Brazil, the percentage
of Brazilian males with foreskin ( or not circumcised ) or without foreskin
( or circumcised ).
She examined 107 patients from October/2001 to April/2002. Their ages varied from 10 (ten) to 83 (eighty three) years old. (average age 58.75), of which 81 (eighty one) were Caucasian (white/leuco) and 26 (twenty six) were black (melano).
The results of the research were the following :
a) Males with foreskin ( or not circumcised ) : 77 ( 71.97%)
b) Males without foreskin ( or circumcised ) : 30 ( 28.03 %)
I was circumcised September 29, 1999.
I had always wanted to be circumcised since puberty. While not all men are circumcised here, many have chosen it and routine infant circumcision is becoming more popular.
Where I live in Rio de Janeiro the weather is always very hot and it makes me sweat a great deal.
This has been very uncomfortable for me and irritated my penis and my pubic area where I sweat a lot. The consequences were a strong smell and humidity. I felt like a liquid dropping from my dick all the time. I was concerned so I went to a urologist to see if it was some disease and he assured me that it was not.
By that time I got used to wash my dick more than twice a day! After a time I started to keep my foreskin back and after a few days it stayed that way permanently and the smell and irritation stopped. I didn't feel the foreskin moving forward any more, and I got used to having my foreskin retracted on a permanent basis.
This happened more than 10 years ago and I felt much better with my glans exposed. The sensitivity of the glans changed but not diminished. The skin, after a time, would only cover half my glans but I still was not happy with my uncut status.
This year I had the opportunity to get the operation performed and I talked this over with my wife. As we both agreed, I went to the urologist and set the date (September 29) for my circumcision. The method used was free hand. The first night was difficult. The healing process lasted for 15 days.
Now I am proudly cut and the result was exactly what I wanted it to be and I am feeling great and much more hot and hungry for sex.
I have experienced both the uncut and cut status and I know that cut is best. It is a wonderful experience.

Yes Indeed the email you forwarded me is in Portuguese. This married man (he does not write his name) is from Brazil. Since he was a child he wanted to keep his foreskin retracted. For a long time he kept it thus. But in Brazil, he states, circumcision is practiced only by the wealthy who want to distinguish their children from the rest of the masses. Since he was not a rich man, he did not have a circumcision when he was young. But he cherished one greatly.
He married and had children and had his own sons circumcised,
but he still wanted to have a cut penis himself. He was embarrassed to approach
a Doctor about it until he consulted his wife, who gave him an OK. He went to an
urologist and expressing his desire to have his long foreskin cut, the Doctor
agreed to do it. The operation lasted about an hour. In 15 days the operation
healed and he was able to use his penis normally. Both he and his wife are much
happier for this new circd status. He says he has lost no sensitivity and is
much more sensitive in other regards now. He writes they have started a
new spousal relationship that is much more rewarding than sex was before being
cut. He is very happy about it and is most happy to find out that circlist is a
group of people who give support to pro-cut people.
