Circumcision is extremely painful.

The USA is the last advanced nation doing it, but rates have fallen down from over 90% in the 1960s to as low as 21% here in California currently. From CNN:

Circumcision was actually promoted in the USA at first to stop masturbation (in hopes of it being tight enough to require lubes and not have skin to slide since the foreskin is already moist)

USA = highest HIV rates in advanced nations (and highest circumcision rates). CIA statistics:

And one study already trashed the claims of the study that said that circumcision reduces HIV.

If you're having problems with like a tight foreskin, you can fix that pretty easily:
Some may say that circumcision will fix it, but circumcision's risks include reduction in sensitivity and pleasure, and making masturbation more difficult according to studies (including a few new ones from a few months ago). Oddly enough that's how it was promoted in the USA since masturbation was bad, haha. There's a reason why the USA is the last remaining advanced nation still doing it, and even so, it's getting a lot less popular (it's now as low as 14% in some states). Save that as a last resort, as you're doing. That's only one of the few risks, there's more listed here, in addition to the studies and statistics:

I was the same when I was younger, and now it slides fine with no problems whatsoever. Just pull back your foreskin when you shower the most you can without forcing it, and rub the head. That should encourage it to separate from the head. This is probably all you have to do, since this is common especially with teens. You just haven't 'used' it enough, as in masturbation and washing it. The same goes for sensitivity; the more your rub it the less sensitive it'll get (start using water when you shower then rub a little more each day).
And if its rather tight, you can get a cream that works in almost 95% of cases. It's 0.05% betamethasone or betamethasone dipropionate. And unlike circumcision it is very cheap ($12 in the USA), painless, and you don't risk decreasing sensitivity/pleasure and making masturbation more difficult.

Try that cream. It works. Doctors often just mention circumcision since its a surgery that brings a lot of money to them, especially in the USA.
If you have questions, e-mail me from my profile since I've gone through this. I'll be happy to answer any questions.
Here is a website with lots of information and photographs. Please consider this carefully before making the decision...there is a major reason why this is done to infants who won't remember...

What's wrong with leaving at is. I am uncut and would never change that.
It's scary and painful and bloody as hell and I'd never do it.
If you're doing it because most polls seem to show that women prefer circumcised, you're doing it for the wrong reason. Who gives a sh!t what they like? It's not like you whip it out right after you shake hands and introduce yourself. Any girl who cares whether you're cut or uncut is not worth your time.
If you're doing it for medical reasons, that's another issue. Good luck.
Ryan, you were asking this line of questions a month ago. Did the surgery get delayed or do you just like bringing this up for fun?
i had a dorsal cut, cut right down the middle, so i could keep my foreskin, i can't live without it, ask your surgeon to keep it!!
So when is your sergury?
You should wear loose clothing perhaps shorts instead of underwear unless you already wear a loose boxer.
Don't worry about pain the doctors will know to give you some pain meds.
I think the doctor will prepare the penis himself all you need to do is show up and take off your clothes and lay on the table.
Then snip, snip and 2 to 4 weeks later you will be glad you got it out of the way.
Hey you are still very young and you should heal real quick.
it should of be done just after birth , now you want it done at 14
circumcisiion is good for you. Its for hygienic purposes. my experience was it feels like a bite from an ant.
Honestly, it's not worth it.
I have had it before and I wish I had been smarter with my decision.
According to some researches, uncircumcised men have a longer penises on average because throughout their life span, their foreskins "hang down" their penises,, that's why...
They last longer in bed than chopped off ones.
Why do you think European men have a better sex life than American ones? Think about it.
