Today, at 30 years-old, my wife asked why I'm circumcised when my parents aren't religious. I didn't know I was circumcised. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my dad thought it appropriate to ask if my boyfriend, who was in the other room, was circumcised. FML
Today, my girlfriend told me that I have “too much foreskin” and that I’d need to get circumcised if we were going to stay together. I’m already circumcised. FML
Today, I met my girlfriend's very religious parents for dinner. Somehow we got to talking about her groin hernias that were repaired as a baby. I never knew she had hernias repaired and said, "But she doesn't have any scars down there." There was a long awkward silence. FML
Today, my girlfriend asked if I could somehow get uncircumcised so I could add an inch to my length. FML
Today, after I gave birth to our first child, my husband looked at the doctor and seriously asked, "When do you circumcise the baby?" We had a baby girl. FML
Today, I got circumcised by my girlfriend's braces. FML
Today, I was fooling around with my new girlfriend. I guess she'd never been with an uncircumcised man before, because before I knew it I had a frenulum tear and had to go to the ER. FML
Today, I went to a new doctor. She asked me how long I had been sexually active. I said I'm not. I'm 24. FML
Today, my class had a debate about religion. My classmate said that Christians couldn't be circumcised because "only Jewish people are". Without thinking, I said it isn't true because I'm Christian and I’m circumcised. I accidentally gave the whole class a mental picture of my dick. FML
Today, my 18-year-old son asked me if I was a virgin. I still don't know what to say to him. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Living proof that we need better sexual education in this country. The first sex ed class I can remember had pictures of both an uncircumcised, and a circumcised, penis. Not knowing where you are from or your cultural background, it seems more difficult to believe that you didn't know that before now. If you're from the US, most males here are circumcised. The rates are slowly decreasing, but still: "The overall circumcision rate among U.S. males age 14 to 59 is 81 percent." So, I suppose without the religious side explaining what circumcision was, and if you really had that bad of a sex ed teacher, yeah, I guess it's possible.

Many believe it is healthier, cleaner, want the boy to look like dad... Who knows? There are plenty of information on reasons to or not online.

my school only did sex ed once a year and only a 30 minute class one day. the only thing I remember is the school nurse killing a gold fish in front of us and saying sex is the equivalent to the gold fish that its kill us for going out of our comfort zone. then showed us a second fish and left that one alone in the tank and said that fish is equivalent to waiting until married... public school...

Then I assume that you don't have a hideous scar. Congratulations!

I completely agree, the sons I will never have would not be cut. But these are reasons that people chose to do so. What little kid looks at their dad naked and thinks "why is my dick different than his?". Still, those are reasons people use.

I may have the info backwards, but I believe circumcised men have a lower risk of getting pancreatic cancer than uncircumcised. However, it's like a 1% difference.

If people didn’t make talking about the body taboo, they wouldn’t care of their kid asked that and would answer it in a way that kids can understand. I wish our culture would lighten up about these things. Then kids with rashes on their genitals wouldn’t have to beg to go to the doctors.

I wouldn't even know where the cut off piece would attach to what's left!

Guys, maybe it's not him who's confused. Maybe he just has a smaller foreskin and confused his gf?

30 years old and not knowing your circumcised???!!!??? Seriously, don't you ever change underwear or take a shower??? I think I am more worried about your serious lack of personal hygiene than anything else.

Yeah but seeing as OP has a girlfriend he probably doesn’t stare at dicks all day to know what to compare his to. I am Jewish so I know I am circumsized but I don’t know how a regular penis looks because I’m not gay

knowing what other peoples genitals looks like doesn't make you gay....

You don't have to be gay to know what other penisses look like. Just do some sports or go swimming.

Never understood why americans are so much into circumcision... In Europe most men are not circumcised and everything's fine, they don't get more deseases or anything. If you don't wash properly or don't care about what you do with your penis, it doesn't matter if you're circumcised or not...
