The Significance of the Circumcision Scar

Removing the foreskin leaves behind a scar.

Sometimes it is nearly invisible, other times there is a sharp contrast as one kind of skin ends and the other one begins, while some African procedures ought to leave more significant scarring. And there is nearly any variation in between.

The final look certainly depends on the placement, the shape, the width, the thickness and the color of the scar.

Do you attribute any significance or special meaning to your circumcision scar?

Definitely. My circumcision was at the request of my girlfriend (now wife) as part of her agreeing to marry me so now she always refers to my scar as the wedding ring I can never take off. I love that. I love that it’s a permanent reminder of my devotion and what I gave up to make myself the husband she wanted.

What a beautiful sentiment.
