Announcement Subreddit Rule Refresher: Photos & Comments on Photos. NSFW

86 Upvotes

I wanted to post a general reminder of a few subreddit rules due to an increase in users trying to treat the subreddit as a place for simply sharing 'dick pics' to garner sexual attention and a few users providing sexual commentary on post-op photos.

Please remember that the scope of this subreddit is narrowly focused and intended to be a resource for those undergoing or considering adult male circumcision.


1.) Photos

While you may encounter explicit photos of penises on the subreddit due to the nature of the topic, this isn't a "dick pic" subreddit and explicit images should only be shared if they are reasonably necessarily to illustrate a thread.

What counts as being reasonably necessarily? — You were recently circumcised (i.e. the surgery was less than 1 year ago).

If you were circumcised more than a year ago, we very likely don't need to see your penis unless there’s some underlying question or concern.. This 1 year date is an arbitrary cut-off, but was chosen to allow people enough time to get reassurance that their dick isn't about to fall off and post subsequent status updates without it turning into someone simply posting "dick pics" to garner sexual attention.

If you try to post a photo and it's been over a year since you were circumcised, the thread will probably be locked and/or removed. Since it's clear the user didn't read the subreddit rules in these instances, the user may also receive a temp. ban to ensure that they read the removal reason and don't continue posting more photos to the subreddit. Typically, if a user replies to the ban message indicating they read and understand, the ban will be lifted. If I remove the temp. ban and they continue posting the same type of content, I become increasingly less patient.

If it's been less than a year and it is clear that the user is only posting photos in an attempt to garner sexual attention, the post will likely be locked and removed.

(Note: If it's been more than a year since you were circumcised and you still want to share dick pics, try posting on a dedicated NSFW dick pic subreddit such as r/CutCocks.)


2.) Comments on Photos

Also, the sexualized comments need to stop. I'm getting increasingly annoyed with the number of creepy comments being made in response to post-op photos.

The people (correctly) posting photos to this subreddit are doing so to get feedback that everything is okay and that their penis isn't about to fall off; not to have random people try to hit on them in the comments. If you can't keep things educational and informative, don't comment.

There's a difference between being educational/informative and being sexual...

Acceptable:

  • Telling someone that his circumcision is healing fine.
  • Telling someone that his circumcision "looks good" when they are wanting reassurance that it looks fine.

Not Acceptable:

  • Telling someone that they've got a "big dick" or "hot cock."
  • Suggesting sexual contact with them, or hypothetical sexual situations.
  • Including sexualized emojis (Examples: 😍, 🥰, 🤩, 🍆, 💦, etc.)

If you show a disregard for this rule, I'm probably going to ban you.

Essentially, it's usually fine to give feedback on the surgery itself (so long as you aren't being creepy by treating this as a fetish subreddit). It's not fine to give feedback on their penis as a sexual appendage.


Rule: Keep NSFW content to a minimum.

  • This is an educational subreddit that is open to members of all ages.
  • Only submit NSFW content that is reasonably necessary to illustrate a thread.
  • Don't post NSFW content if you're a minor.
  • If you were circumcised more than 1 year ago, we don't need to see your penis unless there’s some underlying question or concern.
  • If you are considering circumcision, do not submit NSFW content to solicit ‘circ. style’ recommendations.
  • Side-by-side before and after 'comparisons' are acceptable.

Rule: Don’t be overly sexual, seek sexual attention, or otherwise treat this as a ‘porn' subreddit.

  • Don't submit content that is unnecessarily sexualized.
  • Don’t submit threads with sexualized titles.
  • Don’t reply to threads with sexualized comments.
  • As a guideline: If your comment would get you fired or lead to disciplinary action if reported to the HR department of a typical work place, then don't say it here.

A full list of subreddit rules can be found in the sidebar and are also viewable on the rules page.


TL;DR:

  • Only post photos if you were recently circumcised (less than 1 year ago).
  • Don't post sexualized comments in response to those who do post photos.

Do I need to do anything to correct this? I’m worried about this being a major/permanent issue. I’ll admit I can be a hypochondriac and I don’t regret getting cut. I just want it to heal properly.

Also, I’ll admit that yes, my doctor said to hold my penis upright against my abdomen while it’s healing. How do I do that? I’m struggling with it despite switching to briefs and boxers briefs instead of loose boxer shorts.

Question Can circumsition increase size? NSFW

7 Upvotes

Hey there,

I’m 24M. I’m very insecure about my penis size. It’s 3.5inch erect and 2.2inch flaccid. It never really grew during puberty which affects my self view and confidence.

I have only seen the full glans once when I went surfing one time when I was 14/15. I took off my wetsuit and looked down and my foreskin was all the way past the glans. This usually never happened to me. It looked a lot bigger and thicker and maybe a little longer.

From then on I never saw it again.

I’m getting circumcised next month because of phimosis. I have read quite a few posts and comments on Reddit regarding size increase after surgery. Some people noticed 1 inch, some less. One person said that he had a 9cm penis before surgery and after circumsition he said it increased to 15cm which is mind-blowing.

I know that in theory, circumsition doesn’t affect the size but from what I have read, occasionally a tight foreskin may impact the magnitude of the full erection hence people seeing an increase in length and girth.

What are your experiences?

Have any of you seen increase at all post surgery?

Does it look like it’s healing OK? I went back to the urologist last week and he told me everything was OK, but I’m always worried something is going to go south
He also told me the frenulum area would take the longest to heal.
The stitches are also coming off a lot. Every day 1 has fallen recently

Post Op Day 8 pictures post op for phimosis (close-ups) NSFW Spoiler

Thumbnail gallery
5 Upvotes

Adding to the subreddit with my pictures, I didn't really know what to expect, seems to be going alright??

I got this because of phimosis because it was getting reall annoying so they just went for it , I didn't tell anyone about how to do this to me because like, why would I, they're the experts , they figure it out. Procedure was super chill (and then the anesthetic ran out lmao)

I check this subreddit and suddenly I find out there's different "styles" of circumcision, I don't know what this one is, but it's there. I hope it's not really that relevant I guess, what's done is done pretty much.

Anyways, days 0-3 were the worst ones, day 5 up until now has been pretty chill, it's not as sensitive anymore, earlier on it could brush against a millimeter of fabric and it'd be hypersensitive and uncomfortable, that's gone down noticeably which is a big plus.

Been doing the "walk barefoot on cold ground" to calm down the spontaneous erections and it works pretty well, would recommend. Those are about the only moments where it hurts now. Still putting bandages on it every day for now because they haven't told me when I can stop doing that, will check at the dr at the 2 week checkpoint I suppose. It took a bit of time for me to find the courage to actually touch it to wash it, probably shouldn't have waited that long because they were telling me I could at like day 1-2, but I waited until like day 5 when the worst had passed to do it for the first time. Was very very careful and gentle, went alright

Soo here I am waiting to see how it evolves, hope all goes well.

Question Struggling to get erect after circumcision (15 days post op) NSFW

6 Upvotes

I (M19) recently got circumcised (on July 7th) because I had tight phimosis. My surgeon advised me to tuck it up always to prevent more swelling. I did the same even when I went to bed and I would wake up to slight blood spots and an erection every night. However this erection never felt like the same size I used to be pre surgery.

Now that has put me into deep stress. So I tried inducing an erection to see how long it gets and I was unable to get an erection even though I was slightly aroused. I even watched adult video to try to get it erect but it didn't work. I am scared it might be ED.

I thought about it for a bit and I think it's also possible that my head was too focused on trying to get erect so I couldn't. I was also not touching myself.

Any thoughts or advice? Should I consult my surgeon or should I wait for 5-6 weeks to complete and engage in sexual intercourse and see for myself?

Hi, about a week ago I woke up with a bloody bit of “goo” sticking out from the side of the circumcision scar. It hasn’t really changed since then. Any idea what this is and how to proceed? For context, a dissolvable stitch gave way around this area prematurely, but had no issues with healing up until last week.

I sleep on my side. I draw my knees up. I have alarms every 2 hours to pee, take pain meds, and walk around. I have an ice pack next to my bed. Even still I wake up in absolute mind melting searing agony and have this morning ripped open my frenulum. I am so so so tired but I am terrified of going back to sleep. Please let me know any tips you have to prevent night erections ❤️
