Survey results
We had over 140 people reply to our survey. If you were one of them, thank you.
The two main questions were:
1. How do you feel about being circumcised (or not)?
2. If your dad's status (i.e. circumcised or not) is or was different to you, do you care?
Anxieties about being circumcised (or not)
We found that about 14% of men have anxieties about being circumcised or not circumcised. This was pretty even across different age groups. Generally, there was no difference between men who are circumcised and those who aren't.
There were two exceptions. Australian men aged under 25 who are circumcised are twice as likely as other groups to not feel entirely positive. Example comments included:
The other group that stood out was Over 55 year olds who are not circumcised. Around half expressed anxiety about their status. Comments included:
Being different to your father
Apart from one response, men who are not circumcised didn't mind if their father was different. Example responses included:
Most circumcised men don't care either. However, about 10% of men who are circumcised saw an issue with difference:

There were two exceptions. Australian men aged under 25 who are circumcised are twice as likely as other groups to not feel entirely positive. Example comments included:
- "I would have rather not have been circumcised"
- "sometimes there are insensitive jokes about it but that doesn't really bother me".
- "think I am probably missing out on something".
The other group that stood out was Over 55 year olds who are not circumcised. Around half expressed anxiety about their status. Comments included:
- "During my time at primary school the taunting from class mates and friends was pretty tough. It does build up in you that you are different, Inferior and not part of the what was then the norm"
- "I would not drink any fluids from the time I left home until I got back home in the afternoon so I didn't have to go the toilet so no other guy would be able to see my weird dick."
- "I considered on doing my own circ job myself, but luckily for me I chickened out. Now as a retired adult I fell very comfortable with the way I am and do feel that the tides have turned and that the guys who are cut would now be receiving the taunting".
Being different to your father
Apart from one response, men who are not circumcised didn't mind if their father was different. Example responses included:
- "Different & doesn’t bother me at all"
- "Nope (and it was different)"
- "He is different to me and I dont mind at all"
- "Circumcised. Not relevant. My dad and I don't compare dicks every day. I'm glad he didn't make mine like his."
Most circumcised men don't care either. However, about 10% of men who are circumcised saw an issue with difference:
- "My dad is cut I think I would of asked questions if they Looked different"
- "Yes I would care, but it’s the same."
- "Dad’s uncircumcised. It was a major issue for me growing up. I couldn’t understand why I was different"
What we found out
- About 14% of Aussie men are concerned about being circumcised or not, irrespective of age or if they're circumcised or not.
- Young Australian's who are circumcised are twice as likely to be concerned than others, but most are just fine. This, is the same as over 55s who are not circumcised. Both are a small minority within their peer group.
- Being different to dad doesn't bother uncircumcised men who are. Men who are circumcised like their father are more likely to see this as a potential problem. However, generally men don't care about this.

How do you feel about being circumcised/uncircumcised? (Here's what you said......)
Love it
top
unperturbed
Much prefer being a helmet
I think my parents made the right choice to leave me intact
Actually happy. I think its healthier and if i wasnt done, i probably wouldnt think about getting it dine
Nice and clean
Wouldn’t want it any other way
I would rather have been given the choice rather than having being done at birth.
Excellent.
Part of the tribe
Most of the time it does bother me, but sometimes I wish I was cut
delighted, its pure manhood
I’m ok with it.
I love being uncut. I would be really pissed if I was circumcised as a child.
Very happy
Insecure
Glad
Great
Love it
Happy about it
Happy.
Love it
Most of the other guys around my age were circumcised, so always felt like the odd one out, growing up. Even now, I’m the only uncut guy amongst all of my mates. Prefer the look of a circumcised cock & considering getting done.
unsure
Fine. Never known it any other way
Love it
Indifferent
Very happy.
I am glad I was not circumcised
Doesn’t bother me

Love it. All males should be circumcised.

Great! I like it.
Great ?
Want to be uncircumcised
Love it.
Fine
I don’t mind but wonder if I’m missing out
It’s how it was when I was born. Given the choice I’d be hooded but I have a huge knob and I haven’t had any complaints.
Glad to still be intact
Great
I love it & look for it in my partners
Love the feeling of being uncut. But I prefer the look of a circumcised dick.
Used to be embarrased because most of my mates are cut. But now love my foreskin. Bonus for wanking. Extra sensitivity.
Love my uncut dick and glad my parents didn’t circumcise me
Don’t care
Happy
Happy.
We have come so far I now truly think that there is much more openness and discussion on the subject and young guys now a days are much more liberal. Thanks to web pages like this one thank. but there is still a lot of stigma on the subject, more discussion is what is needed.
I wish I was but I'm honestly worried about losing sensation in my glands if I get it done add an adult. Also I'd like a high & tight cut if I get it done as an adult which not many places appear to provide.
Love it. Every man should be Circumcised as far as i am concerned.
Great
Violated... as a baby I didn’t have the choice to say yes or no.
Men should have a right to their foreskin. It should not be chopped off at birth just to fit in, or it looks cleaner or for religious reasons. When he's old enough he can decide to get the procedure done or not based on all the facts and information. Consent of the person involved is most important no matter which gender.
Good
I love my foreskin
Very happy to be circumcised
Couldn't be happier
Happy, but curious if being circumcised is better. "Grass is greener" effect maybe.
Ok
Very happy.
Fine
Love it!!
Love it
My choice
I like just the way it is.
Hate it.
Feel great and lucky
Wouldn’t have it any other way
No issues but wish I could pluck up the courage to get cut
Happy. Although as a kid was embarrassed
I love my foreskin, and wouldn't wish circumcision on my worst enemy! No one should ever be deprived of their natural birthright to intact genitals...period!
Growing up I disliked it very much, I felt not the norm - but that is learned behavior - not the real truth. As a 51 YRO man, I am very happy and pleased that I am NOT circumcised. I think the decision should be left up to each man after education about being uncircumcised.
I enjoy being intact.
Fucking Happy
Great that I can experience things as they were meant to be by nature
Wish I wasn’t
Although I don’t agree with circumcision in theory I am happy with mine and like it’s aesthetic appearance
Happy
Love it.
Really good. Love it.
Fine
I don't care
Very happy!!!
Love it
Really would have preferred to have been circumcised to be like most of mates
good
Perfectly fine about it. I DONT feel robbed or angry
I am happy about it but have twice come close to being circumcised.
I love being uncircumcised Circumcision is barbaric. Makes dicks look part amputated. No one should have the right to amputate a healthy functional normal part of someone else's body .. esp their penis. Foreskin makes wanking and sex feel better. The skin protects the glans and keeps it sensitive. Cut guys need lube to wank and find it harder to cum cause they have lost sensitivity. I love being uncut.. and I'm grateful that I still have my foreskin. Have a number of mates who are devastated by being circumcised, but they suffer in silence. Uncut cock looks hot too.
Would prefer to be cut
Hate it
Awesome
Great!
Wish I was circumcised
Love it!
greatfull
I’m fine with it, however I am unaware of any difference of the feelings/sensation.
I decided to get it done a few years ago and love it. But was aware ahead of time that sensitivity would be reduced. I would say it is down by almost two thirds.
I'm ok with it. I chose to be cut when I was 17.
Miss my foreskin.
Happy
Very pleased
Absolutely LOVE it!
Feel good but sometimes wish I wasn't.
I wish I had been circumcised. Looks better. Hard to think of doing it as an adult though.
HAPPY WITH IT
I’m very thankful that I’m circumcised. I think it’s a lot better looking & much cleaner
Extremely happy but I was circumcised as a 22 year old adult.
I didn't want to be, it was a medical emergency. I thought I'd lose sensitivity. What a load of shit. EVERYTHING is better circumcised and my European wife loves it.
Love it
Best thing I had done!
Great
Totally positive. Best decision my parents made.
good

I prefer uncircumcised
I am indifferent to it. No point worrying about what I can't change. It must have hurt but my parents did what they thought was best.
