Yes, it is safe. But if you can retract easily to keep clean, consider leaving it alone. Some people think a circumcision can result in lowering the sexual sensitivity of the penis.

Yes, it is safe. At 24 years of age, there are little risks to have a circumcision. Some men complain of decreased penile sensation afterwards. It usually heals very well with little risk of pain or infection.
