To me it makes sense that his body isn't going to go back and "re-heal" wounds that have already long-since healed on their own. But, y'know, the exact nature of his powers varies from writer to writer so it's impossible to say for sure. But also I'm pretty sure Western circumcision didn't really become a thing until the 1900s so it'd be surprising if he was cut at all to begin with
I don't know enough about when his powers first showed up.
If years after the circumcision, the skin's healed over and there's nothing for the mutation to heal.
If he has his powers before the circumcision then he grows it back.
As a geneticist I always figured Wolverine's healing factor reverted wolverine back to what his dna says his body should be composed of. Ergo dick chopped off uncircumcised dick shows up.

I feel like this would affect a lot more than his dick though
Like, what else happens when he regenerates because of this?

No
Even if it did he could always redo it himself. He's got the tools right there!

Wolverine can actually regrow from his cut off donger. Thats how he was in every comic. He kept cutting his dong off.
This really depends on the exact nature of his regeneration. For example, if it was reactivating latent developmental genes then he would have foreskin but also webbed hands and toes. So that can’t be the mechanism. If the regeneration is solely based on regenerating to a set body plan, then it could be that the body plan was established before the mutant gene activated. So its “zero state” is whatever was right before. So it would grow back if he got circumcised post mutant activation. But it wouldn’t grow back if it was circumcised pre mutation. As others have pointed out, circumcision is a historical trend and unless Logan’s parents were Jewish, it is highly unlikely he was circumcised. Given that he was born in Canada in 1880, his parents or parents parents would be British, and circumcision as a practice typically mimics the cut/uncut status of the parent. Moreover, Canada’s current rate of circumcision is a paltry 30%. And given that global circumcision rates have been steadily falling we could back calculate an even lower circumcision rate in the 1880s.
Thus, there are two fundamental questions that both must be answered.
Question 1: Was Wolverine, nee James Howlett AKA Logan circumcised in the first place?
Question 2: What exactly is the fundamental nature and etiology of Wolverine’s regenerative powers?

It'd just keep rehealing
When Wolverine tried to convert to Judaism, his life was an unending nightmare.

No
I would argue that the phrasing of this question at the top of the thread implies that Wolverine has been circumcised
The use of possessive language, defining Wolverine's circumcision as being his, creates the idea that it is a procedure that has been internalized and is a part of him
I think it'd depend on whether he can regrow body parts. Comics seem to go back and forward on that.
If he can't then he'd have to go on a quest to find his foreskin, which would have survived all these years thanks to his mutant healing. But once he found it he could just hold it in place and bloop, his foreskin would reattach itself.

wolverine is 100% all natural
except for the mutations and the skeleton thing
I just realized the question was not is Wolverine circumcised and instead rephrased the thread.
That is a roundabout 'yes' that may as well be 'no'

Still no, because he's not circumcised (I'm guessing)
He ain't circumcised.
All the male characters are stuffing their spandex. Would make more sense considering the shape of the spandex.

Did his penis regress to an animalistic state like the rest of him?
that doesn't make sense, his donger doesn't contain literal bone. Unless that's an additional mutant power.
Anyway since a penis is a boner and his bones are metal, wolverine has a metal dong.
Snikt indeed

He was a frail boy you see
Radioactive semen is canon as of Spider Island.
Also he apparently just raw dogged with MJ even in the altered timeline .

why not? it'd just heal around his hoop earrings, not force them out
