My Little Hooded Friend: Uncircumcised?

I just got done reading an article about men who are not circumcised. This actually made me smile, and laugh a little bit. I can’t even begin to tell you how many times this topic of conversation comes up at the local bar. I personally scan the table to see everybody’s reaction to the topic… you can usually tell who has a hoody, and who’s un-hooded by their facial expression during these talks. To be honest, all gay guys have a preference. To be even more honest, I’ve never found a hoody or un-hoody to be a deal breaker in the bedroom.

I will admit the first time I encountered a hooded partner, I was a bit confused with what to do. Extra skin… does that mean extra work? Personally, I think yes. I think extra skin equals extra care. Being with a partner who is uncircumcised comes great responsibility. Did I just say that?!? Trust me, if you’ve been there… you know what I’m talking about. The article I just read said you should always watch your partners face to see if something is “working” or “not working.” In the beginning, I think you’ll find many things you do as “not working.” But, after a few adjustments and reorganizing, you refine your craft and expand your horizons. Damn, am I all the sudden Dr. Ruth?

Believe it or not, hoody or no-hoody is often a question asked on a first, second or third date, along with the whole top/bottom thing. Geez, us gay gays really do get down to the nitty-gritty details from the get go.

Here’s some of the article I read:

Q: I am in a new relationship. My new partner is not circumcised. Are there different “rules” when it comes to pleasing an non-circumcised man?

A: New research has shown that both circumcised and uncircumcised men enjoy sex. In fact, in this month’s issue of the Journal of Sexual Medicine, a study of 2,784 Kenyan men conducted by researchers from the University of Washington reported that “circumcised men reported increased penile sensitivity and enhanced ease of reaching orgasm.”

As for “rules,” well, you may wish to take it easy on the foreskin at first. It can be very sensitive. Check his face for grimacing. Better yet, ask if it feels good. Otherwise, if it pleased a circumcised man, it’s a good bet to please a non-circumcised one.
