nearly all circumcisions removed most if not all of the frenulum. It is indeed a sad fact.

Since those pictures seemed to be helpful for those who had never really seen the difference, here's the link where those pictures came from! There are many more, showing the really normal, natural appearance of intact vs. circumcised.

eta: I think this one really illustrates the difference. You can see how the frenulum, usually referred to as one of, if not THE, most sensitive parts of the penis, has been scraped off. And the soft, moist glans on the left is in stark contrast to the dull, dry, discolored one on the right.

Gosh - those comparison pictures just bring home the differences, don't they? The circumcised penis just looks so sad - imagine - all those toughened callouses on the genitals.

I find it absolutely incredible that anyone could look at those pictures and still convince themselves that circumcision has no effect on sexual sensation.

It reminds me nothing so much as the dry, scarred vulvas of women that have been victimized. The next time someone goes 'shrill' on your butt (and don't the pro-circers love to apply that one to us! I'm not shrill, y'all- I'm fierce & don't you forget it) comparing the two, just show pictures. "Normal penis, circ'd penis. Normal vulva, circ'd vulva. Any questions?"

My DH has no clue that the discoloration is his circ scar. When we first started... umm, being intimate, I asked him asked him what the line was from. He told me that one day when he was 'taking care of business' it got really dry afterward and some skin flaked off, since then he had that line. I didn't realize it was his circ scar until DS#1 (who is cut) was about a year old and I realized his circ scar... then applied that to my DH.

I still haven't mentioned it, I don't really know how I would bring it up. I have thought about it a couple times since he isn't on the pro-intact boat yet, but I don't really know how to bring it up without making him super self conscious.

My dh has a very large jagged brown scar around his penis. There is no denying that he got circumcised. When I first saw his penis I thought his penis got into accident before I learned that was his circumcision scar.

On my dh there is the smooth skin of his shaft and then it becomes discolored and rigid. Fortunately it doesn't look like the scarred area will interfere much with restoration.

Yeah, dh's circ scar isnt so much of what i would normally think of as a scar...like bumpy, raised. It isnt....but the skin is a different color and you can see the line where it changes.

On DH there is a definite band of discolouration. It makes me sad how far down on his penis it is and how much was obviously taken from him.

Same. My partner's scar is over halfway down his shaft.

DB has discolaration and an obvious line.

That link is really shocking. I mean so much is removed, the veins, the frenulum, etc. The natural lubrication of the penis is completely taken away! It's unbelievable. The conspiracy theorist in me starts to wonder if circumcision was implemented to make sex less enjoyable for women.
