I have never experienced it but that pain would be a powerful deterrent. With most surgeries you can immobilize the body part to reduce pain caused by movement, stretching of sutures, or chafing, but the penis is a unique animal. It stretches, shrinks, compresses, expands, and moves around as you move. God forbid you should get aroused before it heals. I can imagine the stresses on the wound as it tries to heal can be very painful. As for your dad, I can’t say I would have asked either. My dad wouldn’t have even told me he’d had the surgery. All that matters is that he was glad he did it, for whatever reasons…As for my answer to the OP: Nope, I wouldn’t do it.
