Does circumcision allow more growth of the penis?

In comparison to those non-circumcised, is it possible that those without circumcision does not have more potential of full growth because there is an overlap of skin covering the head of the penis?





Its an assumption because the skin is obstructing the penis, thus not allowing it to grow out.

Does circumcision allow more growth of the penis?
No. The skin slides back; it's not firmly attached to the head. So it's not obstructing the penis.





It's all based on genes.





In fact, a risk of circumcision is that you can end up with a restricted size when erect, if too much skin is removed. The way that works is because a penis needs more skin to get bigger during an erection. The following two links explain that in more detail; one from a pediatrician and the other from an urologist:

That's only one of the risks (others are in the link below). Trust me, if circumcision allowed the penis to grow bigger, most guys would be circumcised; we'd know from thousands of years. (and look around how many guys are concerned about their size, haha) In fact, circumcision has become less popular (the USA is the last developed nation doing it without medical/religious need and even our rates have fallen to as low as 14% in some states compared to being around 90% in the 60s and 70s).

Reply:Hi,


Circumcision is the surgical removal of the sleeve of skin and mucosal tissue that normally covers the glans (head) of the penis. This double layer, sometimes called the prepuce, is more commonly known as the foreskin.





The foreskin serves three functions: protective, sensory, and sexual. In most cases, the foreskin is still fused to the glans at birth and will separate over a variable period of time over the first few years. During the diaper period, the foreskin protects against abrasion from diapers and faeces. Throughout life, the foreskin keeps the glans soft and moist and protects it from trauma and injury. Parts of the foreskin, such as the mucosa (inner foreskin) and frenulum, are particularly sensitive and contribute to sexual pleasure. Specialised nerve endings enhance sexual pleasure and control. The inner foreskin (mucosa) is the skin directly against the glans. The foreskin provides ample loose skin for the penis to occupy when erect. It is a movable skin sheath for the penis during intercourse, reducing chafing and the need for artificial lubricants, and allowing the glans and foreskin to naturally stimulate each other.








Possible benefits of circumcision include:


Circumcision prevents infection and inflammation of the foreskin. And it may decrease the risk of penile cancer.








It might play a role in reducing the risk of sexually transmitted diseases. Practicing safe sex, however, is a far more important factor in preventing these diseases than whether a man is circumcised.








Infants who are not circumcised may be more likely to develop urinary tract infections. These infections early in life may lead to kidney problems later in life. Infants who have kidney or bladder abnormalities are at higher risk of urinary tract infections, so circumcision may be advised for these babies.








In rare circumstances problems can occur with the uncircumcised penis that may require circumcision at an older age. These problems include inflammation of the foreskin or adherence of the foreskin to the tip of the penis. Circumcision during infancy eliminates the possible need for the procedure at an older age.








Circumcision makes it easy to keep the end of the penis clean. However, the shedding skin cells that naturally accumulate on the glans of an uncircumcised boy are not harmful. Do not try to force the foreskin back to clean the penis of an infant or young boy. Washing externally with mild soap and water is all that is necessary.
Reply:The truth is that your body needs that skin to fully grow. When it's cut off the length of the skin is reduced and may hinder the length being that the room allowed for growth has been taken away.


It was put there for a reason getting it cut off is just a custom
Reply:False assumption; the foreskin moves back out of the way.
Reply:no i can tell you for a fact that it has nothing what so ever to do with it. the fore skin does not stop growth in any way.
Reply:no.what you got is what you got


some are lucky some are not.
Reply:The foreskin is not simply a useless piece of skin, to be disposed of without careful thought. It forms the covering of the head (glans) of the penis in men and the clitoris in women. It is very rich in nerves responsible for touch and the movement of the foreskin backwards and forwards over the glans provides some of the pleasurable sensation experienced during sex.





Adult males that were circumcised as infants do not usually report sexual problems linked with their circumcision, perhaps because they have never experienced sexual sensation with a foreskin. However, men circumcised as sexually active adults quite frequently complain of sexual problems arising from either reduced or altered penile sensation





Happily, complications of circumcision are relatively rare, although they may be under-reported following religious or cultural circumcision. For this reason, figures on the rate of complications may not be reliable. Complications include:





reduction in penile sensation (an almost universal experience)


bleeding


damage to the urethra (urine tube in the penis)


amputation of the glans (rare)


infection in the blood or septicaemia (rare).





Very few absolute medical reasons exist for circumcision, and no reasons exist to justify routine circumcision of infants outside areas with a high rate of HIV infection. Far too many circumcisions are performed without good reason in Europe and the USA. The best advice is 'if it isn't absolutely necessary, don't circumcise'.





Being circumcised or not bears no relation to the size of one's penis.
Reply:No, there is no comparison of cut vs uncut in relation to penis size
Reply:No that is not the case your penis will grow to it's determined size during puberty and will not grow any more after that.
Reply:It doesn't matter growth wise! Just health wise! it is much healthier for both partner's
Reply:If anything, it restricts the growth of the penis because there is not as much skin to grow into.
Reply:Not true at all. The skin is part of the penis...it doesn't close it over, doesn't obstruct the head or anything. Actually being circumcised can restrict things, because if they remove too much skin (particularly when done to babies) it can cause problems when they grow and get erections because it pulls too tight.
Reply:It hasn't been truly proven, but it is believed that without the foreskin the glans penis (head) of your dick will be able to grow out a bit more.
