Hi Jessica,

Male circumcision is a trimming of the soft tissue from the end of the penis. Normally once circumcised, the head of the penis is visible to the eye when not aroused. If they havent been circumcised, normally there is a bit of floppy skin (foreskin) hiding the head of the penis.

If you google for circumcise, and look for images, youll see what the difference is.

Female circumcision is a cruel and horrendous practice, and I hope you never see someone who has been tortured like this.

while a male new child is greater there’s a ‘flap’ of epidermis that covers the ‘gland’ (head) of the penis. that’s been custom for 1000’s of years to get rid of this ‘flap’ sometime after delivery. The jewish society quite have a non secular ceremony and a Rabi performs the ‘surgical operation’. it quite is achieved for various reason and there’s a few debate as to the want and/or outcomes of not doing so. some have self assurance (and that i’m in this class) that it quite is greater hygeinic to be circumsized as there is far less danger for an infection and the penis is far less confusing to maintain clean. there is likewise a college of concept that announces it quite does not count (wellbeing sensible) yet an uncircumsized penis could properly be greater satisfying for the boys’ sexual better half. That I have no clue approximately. wish this permits and solutions the question.

Hi Jessica, Sweetie if you have to ask you are not very old.

Why would you want to know about this? This is a mans problem!!! But I will give you the information. This is what most parents have done on their little boy after being born.Boys are born with what they call foreskin that is extra skin on boys make hood. The doctor cuts the foreskin off so it’s easier for the boys to keep their self clean in their man hood. I hope this helps you to understand what a circumcised is.

A Friend.

It means the foreskin of the penis has been surgically removed. This is usually done when the infant is just a few days old. The circumcision exposes the head of the penis, so a circumcised penis will resemble a mushroom. An uncircumcised penis resembles a cucumber.

The male’s foreskin has been removed. You can tell if it hasn’t if there is skin covering the penis head, or if you can slide the skin up and over the head when you move your hand up and down gently. If it has you will be able to see the head with no covering and there is a ridge around the head.

The foreskin is removed.The foreskin is just a small amount of skin that covers the tip. If it looks like a fire helmet it’s circumsized! LOL

this is a medical proceedure done to male babies mostly for biblical/religious beliefs.

If it is not done, then the male has a little more skin covering his private, that he has to wash throughly so not to have harmful bacteria like from sweat or urine to cause infections.

Why are some of you flaming this girl for asking a question?

Her question seems pretty straightforward to me.

Jessica, if you don’t know what it means, why would you ask the question “How can you tell?”?
