I was circumcised while living in Norway where intact foreskins are the norm. I never had a social/sexual problem in the least. In fact I think I punched above my weight on the basis of being an 'interesting American'. Maybe your dating pool was very immature?
Sure they may have thought it was interesting and talked about it, sometimes women gossip about their partners, I'm afraid. Like you said yourself, it was never to the point where it was a problem, so who cares what their preference might be. I have a lot of preferences regarding an ideal sexual partner's body, but I live in the real world and have appreciated every women for who she is and what she 'had', bodywise.
I don't know what to tell you. It sounds like you have a sorry sex life due to your insecurities. You might want to look at therapy since one thing is for sure, your foreskin ain't coming back.
I'm not sure why you think I have insecurities or even any concerns about my sex life. I'm perfectly happy with my sex life and have no issues (in America, or when I was in the UK).
The previous poster is saying that it's okay that this man is circumcised when he didn't want to be. And for some reason, you're supporting this viewpoint. I wholeheartedly disagree with you. If this man wanted to be circumcised, he would have gone in for that procedure. But he went in for a different procedure. If you're okay with this malpractice, I hope you never become a doctor.

I dont think anyone said the mix up was okay. My point was that he still has his penis. Its not like they cut the whole thing off. Sure it sucks for him but the big picture is he can still perform and enjoy sex.
Well, either way I am glad I am circumcised. Most of the women I have ever been with preferred the look as well. Everything works so I have no complaints lol
Good for you.
The point is, the guy in the article didn't. If it had happened to me, I would not be one happy guy.
Most of the women I've been with have preferred the uncircumcised (uncut look) I have, for what it's worth.

If someone had accidentally cut off your labia, I'm sure you wouldn't just "get over it."
I love my foreskin, and would not just easily get over it if I was the guy in the article.
It is interesting the response from some is to minimize it. It is an odd reaction. I hope they would not say that directly to someone who experienced a surgical error, oh well, it could have been worse, chin up. When it comes to the lawsuit, I would imagine some would not see damages because of their own prejudices, preferences and other issues.
I'm going to call BS on this. Women in UK prefer what they are used to and that is fully functional and intact. I lived in the UK for some time and, having been born in America, it became a conversation with the women I dated in the UK. Not necessarily to the point where it was a problem, but the women definitely had a preference for what the norm is.
Well, where I am from, men are usually "intact" - but lemme tell you, I preferred the look of the circumcised one as soon as I saw one! Just saying
Well, it's not like it can be changed back. So, realistically, he doesn't have a lot of options except to get over it.
He might get a small settlement, but it happened in the UK where they don't have a system where you can sue anyone over anything and expect to receive multi-millions over it.
I hope for his sake that he doesn't belong to one of those religions where this unfortunate oops is going to keep him out of heaven.
You can take legal action in terms of negligence in terms of both the private and public sector, whilst the British Medical Association, Police and Criminal Courts can also become involved in serious cases of gross negligence.
Breast surgeon Ian Patterson, who worked in a private Spire hospital in the West Midlands in the UK, carried out breast surgery that was not necessary for financial gain, in 2017 he was convicted of 17 counts of wounding with intent and three of unlawful wounding and sentenced to 15 years in Prison, the Court of Appeal later increase the prison sentene to 20 years. The victime were awarded over £37 million in compensation.
I don't think that this is true so much today. Anyone who goes into either the outpatient surgery centers or a hospital know the lengths they go through to make sure they have the right patient and the right procedure. I suppose it could still happen that if you are in to have your gall bladder out they take something else instead. I think there is more chances of something being left behind because of incompetent staff who don't count what is given and what is returned before closing up.
Oh it's true alright. And it happens everywhere. At the prestigious Cleveland Clinic, I was almost made very ill and could have died because they wanted to give me a contrast dye for an MRI that I was extremely allergic to.
The fact that the notes were in my file, I reminded every medical personnel and the intake specialist of this allergy they were still ready to shoot me up with this dye just before I was to go in the room to take the test.
I stopped them. They were quite annoyed with me but they saw I was right and that they had been about to make a potentially lethal error.
I never got an apology from them.
You have to be cery, very careful to be your own advocate in these places.

It still happens frequently, here in the land of the free.
Google "wrong site surgery" and you'll see many recent cases reported.
Does the patient have a remedy? Well, obviously they can't undo the surgery itself. They could file a lawsuit, but a case against a doctor or hospital is a very tough (and expensive) row to how. It's possible they'd settle with the patient to avoid further embarrassment, although many states have damage caps on medical cases.

Again, you're missing the point. Removing a part of the body with that many nerve endings does not leave it "fully functional and intact". That's simply a fact.
Whether this is important to this man is not for us to judge.

Just saying
