Either you're being economical with the truth or you're my hero
took me 3 weeks for sex, then a couple of days later I bled a bit while doing it :eek: 0 -
Nope, I'm being honest here. I was amazed myself at how quick the healing was. Maybe i was just lucky, maybe it depends on the surgeon or where the scar was placed, the quality of the stitching or your vascular system....i dunno. All I know is i got my oats on day 12 and without damage or trauma.Nip The Tip wrote: »Either you're being economical with the truth or you're my hero took me 3 weeks for sex, then a couple of days later I bled a bit while doing it :eek:0

All,
Thanks for posting your diaries and answering Q's its been a very interesting (and scary) thread. I believe I may have a problem also. I can’t bring the foreskin past halfway down the head of my penis when fully erect.
Looking at this link I saw earlier in the thread, I believe I’m a CI-8 or CI-9:
http://www.newforeskin.biz/CI/CIchart.htm#index
CI-9 when erect naturally and a CI-8 is as far as I can pull my foreskin back.
I'm 26 years old and sex has been challenging for me, so much so I’ve let it ruin relationships in the past year and avoided it altogether in the past 2 months so I’m very down over this.
I'm very inexperienced sexually so I’ll need some help verifying what’s real and what’s expected in sex. The only other penis' I have seen are circumcised penis’ in porn so I couldn’t relate. A little background on my situation because this is as much a Personal Issue as a Medical Issue. I suffer from depression, low confidence and social anxiety. Although I’m a good looking lad my anxieties with the lady folk have lead to a very infrequent sex life. Tru years 18-23 I suffered pretty badly only "sleeping" 3 or 4 girls...basically all drunken encounters where I couldn’t get it up, which was mostly due to my anxiety problems.
Anyway fast forward to 24 where I made a conscious effort to sort out my life and force myself out of my comfort zone. I have made tremendous progress in my life, in terms of self confidence and stop feeling sorry for myself. It started with working up the courage to chat to girls and slowly evolved to going on dates to scoring with girls on nights out to eventually bringing them home and "sleeping" with them.
So in the past 12 months I have slept with 6/7 girls on multiple occasions. The first few times my anxiety prevented me from getting it up. The next few times I got hard and put the condom on over my foreskin which was over my head so when I entered the girl I didn’t feel anything and eventually lost the boner (I didn’t know what I was doing). The last couple of times I’ve left the girls try and pull down the foreskin while giving head and I can cum but I’m extremely uncomfortable as the pulling hurts. One girl managed to pull the foreskin past the head when I was 70-80% hard but it hurt and I eventually lost the boner when I saw my full penis head for the first time lol. That was probably more shock than anything!
So as much as I have progressed with my issues in the last two years, I’m at about 70% where I set my goals and everything was looking up and I was eventually starting to put my dark days in the rear view mirror. The sex problems I just presumed were just my anxieties and that I’d eventually become comfortable to perform but that’s looking less the case...and its a major bump in the road and its killing my confidence.
I have an appointment with a GP in two weeks with the sole purpose of getting this looked at. So I want to gather as much info before this appointment as possible before I even talk about surgery.
I have start stretching, I have been trying the last 3 days with no signs of change yet (obviously too early), 15 mins in the morning and evening, which is very time consuming and your supposed to keep this up for two months to see results...I dont think this is going to be v feasible.
I have googled this issue but I’m not seeing great info or getting a lot of misinformation and what appears to be scammers selling miracle products, even most reputable medical sites dont have good info on this issue. There seems to be very little info on stretching techniques and what’s a realistic result. So I have a lot of questions so I’d be extremely grateful if people could take the time to answer or provide me links on useful info.
1. Most people on this thread seem to have got the snip...how many people were able to solve their problem by stretching? How did they do it? How long did it take to see results? Where did your start on the Foreskin index? And where did u end up after? http://www.newforeskin.biz/CI/CIchart.htm#index
When I’m 100% erect I can get the foreskin down halfway down my head but there is a lot of squeezing of the head. If I look top down on my penis I’d need the foreskin to stretch to 1.5X to 2X its current circumference to fit down over the head, is this amount of stretching of skin realistic without surgery?
I am scared to pulled the foreskin back too hard in case it gets stuck behind the head but those the fact that a girl once pulled the foreskin all the way past the head when I was 70%-80% mean its possible and I’m just to afraid to pull it?
2. I have seen some alternative methods of stretching online and I wonder as anybody tried them?
Like http://store.platigosolutions.com/ or http://www.glansie.com/?
Surely there's a mechanical way/device to stretch constantly during the day without having to do it manually twice a day, I’ve seen a lot of scams while googling, so I’m wary.
I also read in a medical forum where I guy was using these plastic ear ring things that hipsters use to make the wholes in their ears stretch and he was using the same on his penis, he showed pictures of it and detailed its success, it’s a total homemade stretching idea.
3. For people who had surgery, what type was it? And how bad was the foreskin in terms of the foreskin index?
http://www.newforeskin.biz/CI/CIchart.htm#index
How long before you were walking properly? How long before you did physical activities like running?
Sorry for keep using the Foreskin index, I dont even know if it’s a legit measure but it helps me put my penis in perspective
Any help would be much appreciated, as this is messing me up a bit.0 -
I had a Frenuloplasty OP yesterday afternoon. I had a very small Banjo String and retraction of the foreskin was impossible with an erection.
Just before i went into the operating room, the Urologist asked me why i didn't want to get a full circumcision and i told him i didn't want to lose any sensitivity in the glans and would only get a circumcision as a last resort. He said that a circumcision was the best route to go but he would do what i asked for. I was a bit surprised to hear him say this because having extensively researched the pros and cons of getting a Frenuloplasty versus a full circumcision, the general concensus seems to be that a Frenuloplasty will sort the problem in about 80% Of cases and is much less invasive with quicker recovery time.
Anyway, i haven't felt any pain since the OP, can pee and walk normally but i put a picture of Joan Burton on my bedroom wall to ward off any erections.
Everything looks the same but i won't be pulling back my foreskin for a few days, just washing the general area everyday and waiting for a few stitches to fall out before testing the waters so to speak. I reckon i'll be able to go the gym on monday and do everything as normal.
For anybody thinking of getting circumcised, don't be hasty and look at your options. Don't let a GP or Urologist talk you into a full circumcision unless they have a compelling reason for opting for the Circ as opposed to a Frenuloplasty.
The Frenulum is a great source of pleasure during intercourse and the foreskin protects the glans and sex is more pleasureable if you are uncut, at least that seems to be the general consensus from the vast amount from feedback that i've read. I'm hoping that in 1 month to 6 weeks i have a normal, fully functioning penis and sex is much much better.
Anybody putting it off (don't), its a really straightforward OP, 15 minutes (Local anasthetic), minimal pain after the OP and back to normal in a few weeks. Seriously, getting a dental Implant was 10 times worse than having the Frenuloplasty.0 -

I had a Frenuloplasty year before last ... however Im now in position of trying to avert a circumcision....
Frenuloplasty was a success at the time but my foreskin has tightened up over time and Im having trouble again.
I agree 100% though to keep one's options open..I dont want to loose my foreskin so am currently on a course of 'stretching'
If this fails its off with foreskin...have deferred my op a couple of months to try strectching...
As for psot Frenuloplasty...in my case all was about 90% healed at 3 weeks and I was back 'at it', gently mind....recovery is very quick...0 -

What up fellow followers.... Answered needed! So went my GP about 4 weeks ago and he agreed that i needed d op! so he gave me the referral letter to send in to beaumont hospital to see a urologist. Now on monday it will have been like 3 weeks since i sent it in... and im starting to worry maybe they havnt got the letter and it was lost in the post (
). Those is usually take longer then 3 weeks to get contact from the hospital?? 0 -

first of congrats on finally making the brave move to have your issue addressed. It is daunting to have such an intimate and personal issue examined and addressed by others, but as others here have said, you are one of thousands (if not millions), dont think you are alone or weird in any way, there are so many of us out there and the docs have seen it all.
I too would have been a CI #8 or 9 before the snip, but not alone did i have long and tight foreskin, i also suffered from tight and short frenulum, which prevented the full retraction when erect, so i can totally empathise with you. I decided after much research to go directly for a private circumcision rather than just a frenuloplasty op or stretching, and it has worked out pretty well so far (3 months now).
The circ wasnt too 'tight', but was quite high at my request, so i didnt really lose much of the sensitive inner foreskin, in fact it was almost all outer foreskin that was removed. I am now probably a CI 3 or 4. I am happy enough with this, as even though the glans is half covered when soft, the foreskin is loose and retracts perfectly without issue when hard exposing the glans fully. so its not a radical porn star circ, in fact a lot more modest, but now my penis works as it is supposed to without any problems anymore.
Its a much easier operation than you think and you will be back in normal life after a few days, exercising after 2-3 weeks. You will wonder why you waited so long, such is the difference.
truth is, if you cant pull your foreskin back over the head with ease when erect, there is something wrong, that is not normal and you need to have it sorted, whether its the snip or streching. I dont know which is actually better or worse, but as one who got the snip, the snip is a lot less traumatic than you think and the benefits are excellent.
See what the doc says andbe guided by his advice, but if he points you to the snip, dont be afraid, its a very minor inconvenience for just a few days for a much better life afterwards.Scared_silly wrote: »All,
