I have thought about this before. The study results although only a small study are better then any other trial i have seen.

 

How come more people havnt tried this?

I would be the best person to ask, I had a circumcision based on having herpes (well, 50%, the other reason being i tore my foreskin during sex).

Its very hard to say, the max outbreaks i have had were 5 in a year, the only thing i will say is that the circumcision "line" is very sensitive and easily irritated. 

Its encouraging to see this research show that circumcized guys will get less outbreaks, whether its the case or not we'll never truely know, but I'd rather have a study show that circumsized guys are less likely to transmit due to there being less mucosal tissue. This would put a smile on my face! lol

Thanks Lexyz,

 

When you say maximum outbreaks were 5 a year, was this before being circumcised?

How many outbreaks do you have now eg after circumcision?

Could I ask how long ago you had the operation? Does this irritation on the circumcision line cause you to get outbreaks? Would you recommend it?

 

PS sorry for so many questions, I just want to get a bit more of an idea if it I worth it.

The 5 a year were after being circumsized, i only got 2 (with foreskin) before i chose to make the decision. 

After circumcision i've had about 4-5 per year. (i got it in 2013, so 5 each year basically).

The irritation may or may not lead to outbreaks im not sure, Im actually doing foreskin restoration as i lost some sensitivity from the circumcision.

From one man to another, DONT get circumsized.

That definitely answers all my questions. All the best with the restoration.

Just to clarify, without the circumcision I MAY have had more, but the way things panned out, i ended up getting the circumcision, so i dont consider 5 outbreaks per year as bad as some, but who knows, with more mucosal tissue, i could have been 5-10+ outbreaks, you never know... 

The restoration is going well, it depends how you look at it, some guys have loved getting circumcized due to lasting longer in bed, but i was already quite good in bed in terms of lasting, so now the circimcision just means i am a beast, and takes me 1-2+ hours to cum.

But yeah, please dont get it done, you'll thank me in the long run.

I had 2 outbreaks a month before circumcision and went to 1-2 a year and dropping.....outbreaks were much smaller also and cleared quicker. I did start on suppression therapy prior to circumcision but that only helped some. Continued with suppression therapy after  circumcision.

Thanks for the replies. As you said I have heard a lot about having less feeling during sex, I dont think the proceedure is for me.
