As I related in my application form, I was circumcised at an age of 32 years. I wanted to be cut, but I did not know any doctors, who would perform the operation without an medical reason. Moreover, when you asked to be cut the doctors would directly jump to the conclusion that you would only ask the question when you're gay.
In The Netherlands, there is a foundation (the Rutger Stichting) who advised people on all sorts of sexual subjects. After some hesitation, I went to the normal consulting hour. The doctor I saw, was very cooperative, and did not ask any nasty questions. He did not discuss the cut itself, nor how tight I wanted the cut. Even, if he had asked, I would not know what to answer, because at that time I thought "circumcised is circumcised". Then he told, he knew a surgeon, who would do the operation in a military hospital. That was very convenient, because I was in the military service at that moment. So within 2 weeks, I was taken in the hospital, and next day got my operation under local anesthesia. After another night in the hospital I could return home. And because I was a military person, the operation was free! The stitches fell out after about one week, and the wound healed very quick. After that week I masturbated for the first time my circumcised dick. The feeling was incredible intense and the climax hardly bearable.
Although our two sons were cut (phimosis) shortly after birth, my wife did not like my cut status. However, after some time she grew accustomed to the situation, overcame her hesitations and eventually dared to touch the glans. That was more than 25 years ago. I'm still proud of my circumcision, and enjoy the feeling when making love. There IS a difference and I like it. You don't have to keep the foreskin back and the rim is much more sensitive. I tore my frenulum long before I was circumcised, and now I know I have a reasonable tight cut, however not as high a I see sometimes in pictures in this forum. Unfortunately, I do not have a digital camera yet, so I cannot show my cut.
In The Netherlands about 10 - 15% of the males are circumcised, either because of religion (Muslim is the second religion in the Netherlands) or because of medical reasons. Due to a posting in a NATO position, I was able to compare the "cut rate" of a couple of other NATO nations. The cut rate of German military personnel is comparable to the one in the Netherlands, I never saw an uncut US military person.

I recently came across this report and it seems not to give a negative view of circumcision in the NL.
Dorien (19): "Mijn vriend had het er laatst over dat hij zijn voorhuid wil laten weghalen. Hij wist niet waar hij naar toe moest en ik ook niet. Waar kan mijn vriend zich laten besnijden?"
Little Doren 19 asks: "My friend was recently thinking about getting his foreskin removed. He doesn't know where to go, and me neither. Where can my friend get circumcised?"
Bijna elk ziekenhuis heeft een polikliniek die besnijdenissen uitvoert. Laat je vriend dus een ziekenhuis in de buurt bellen en om informatie vragen. Hebben ze een wachtlijst, dan kan hij altijd een ander ziekenhuis proberen. Hij kan bij zijn huisarts informeren naar een goed adres in de buurt. Een besnijdenis is een kleine operatie, die meestal poliklinisch wordt uitgevoerd, onder plaatselijke verdoving.
Doc answers: "Almost every hospital has a polyclinic that carries out circumcisions. Get your friend to ring up a hospital in the neighbourhood to ask for information. If there's a waiting list, he can always try another hospital. He can get a good address in the neighbourhood from his GP. A circumcision is a little operation that is mostly done in a polyclinic under local anaesthetic."
Doesn't look as if they are rationed. UK foreskin owners seeking to join the ranks of the circumcised would view this as very heaven.
Anyone knows a way to get circumcised in the Netherlands. I already tried private clinics, they ask about $ 2.000 for this so that is not an option.
It may be far cheaper to get a low cost flight into London, Luton or London, Stanstead airport and get your circumcision done here in Britain.
