Question 1

whats the proper way to apply coconut oil on a uncircumcised penis?

Accepted Answer

Oiling thy penis?: A normal, healthy penis is self-oiling, meaning penis skin produces enough oil to keep itself healthy... presuming a guy is not repeatedly washing his penis nor exposing it to the elements such as being a lifeguard at a nude beach. If needing moisturizers and wanting to use coconut oil (or CeraVe, or Cetaphil), the application has no specific rules... so start from one end and oil it to the other.

Question 2

why are uncircumcised penis bigger?

Accepted Answer

Who says they are?: There is no evidence that penises are larger if not circumcised. This organ varies widely in size, hence many social myths based on cultural belief systems.  Circumcision has mixed benefits and risks, is no longer medically required but in some cases makes hygiene simpler, so parents request it.  Some do the procedure because that is a religious or family tradition.

Question 3

i'm wondering is good to have a uncircumcised penis?

Accepted Answer

No good answer: Most of the world is not circumcised however ~60-70% of the usa is circumcised.  Some data suggests circumcision reduces sensation during intercourse.  Circumcision does reduce risk of transmission of sexual transmitted disease (stds) but this is more of a public health benefit (that individual risk reduction is very small).  Circumcision is an individual choice with benefits and risks.
