Ive been stretching off and on for a couple months and recently just started doing it more and more the past month. If i would of realized this, this would of definatly helped, im barely getting any bigger in diameter im doing it all wrong >_< and i cant fit any 2 of my fingers in there, i probably could with pinkie but its like, to hard to situate.
I noticed a lil bit of ripping... i know my firsts times i stretched i ripped the skin a little, but i got some bad marks now.
Everyone thats trying this method make sure you dont stretch so much that it hurts, i did this a few times just because i wanted the process to go faster, for one it didn't, and now i have a couple tears. o.O

but yeah, with this understanding ill be back sooner or later with more tips/feedback

The problem with the stretching method without the use of steroid creams is that it actually might cause the phimotic ring to become even tighter. Your foreskin, despite being tight, has developed to become natural in the state of your body. Often, stretching without applying cream may temporarily widen the gap but it may heal up to the point where it is even tighter yet.

You should try the topical steroid creams. If you don't see any progress after six weeks or so, consider surgical methods. A preputioplasty, which heals much faster than a circumcision, could be a good option. Ask your doctor about it.

I really dont want to talk to my parents about it, Maybe if there was a way to tell them without telling them and the doctor without telling them or something, but really, i just want to get this over with, but I really dont want to talk to my parents about it.

Why are you afraid to tell your parents? You have a legitimate medical condition that needs to be cured. Your Dad has a penis, and both he and your Mom have seen your penis since you were a little baby.

And it's not "because you caca heads didn't get me circumcised". They respected YOUR right to choose, so if now if you feel like getting circumcised it is your CHOICE. They didn't chop off a chunk of your penis without your permission.

Hi people, I also have this phimosis condition. I've been using the strecthing method for a couple of weeks now. For those who have cured phimosis by doing the stretch method, can you guys please provide me with some advice and information.

It seems now that I can retract all the way to the back of the corona or close to it but still a bit tight. I've been retracting it 3/4th of the way but am afraid that it might get stuck and have that paraphimosis condition. Note that I'm still doing it in a flacid state. Can you guys please answer these questions:

1) Once I retracted all the way to the ridge/corona of the glans, will that tight ring (prepuce opening/narrowest part of the opening) be able to go over the ridge and go back to its original form? I mean will I be able to pull back the tight ring and foreskin after it's retracted?

2) Also, after your cure of phimosis, do you guys keep your foreskin retracted at all times when it's flacid? Or do you guys retract it only during sex?

3) When you guys are able to retract your foreskin during full erection, do you guys still do the stretching method or is tight ring able to make an opening big enough to retract without the streching excercise for permanent?

If you guys can answer these questions, I would greatly appreciate it.

1. Of course!!! Men without phimosis can voluntarily push the foreskin back and forth over the head of the penis voluntarily.

2. No they do not, unless they have premature ejaculation and are trying to lessen the sensitivity of the head. Most men with a foreskin keep it down since that is how it is supposed to be normally. It is more comfortable.

3. Once you can get the ring behind in the flaccid state, you need to get an erection and start the stretching all over again at this larger size. Once you achieve full retraction, it SHOULD stay loose.

Thanks for the info Eiri.

I was afraid that the tight ring won't roll back to it's original form after retraction past the ridge. That's why I only do it 80-85% of the way but it feels funny when it goes back because the tight ring kind of rolls back rather than sliding down (Does anybody know what I mean?).

So, is it for sure that you cannot have paraphimosis when it's in flaccid state? It only occurs on erect penis?

Lubrication will help it to slide rather than roll. I can visualize what you mean lol.

And never say never. Little babies who are circumcised wrong get paraphimosis and they're certainly not erect! Yes, it *could* happen because all it takes is restricting the blood flow out of the head of the penis and ding! you have paraphimosis.

I almost tried to retract it past the ridge but 90 % of the way, it almost got stuck for a couple a seconds and I had to use a bit of force to make it go back to its original form. Again it rolls back instead of sliding back because I did not put any lubrication since my penis glans is still sensitive and I don't really want to touch it right now. I've been doing this stretching while I'm showering, so I guess I have to do a bit more streching. Any more advice that I can get from you, Eiri?

Just keep doing it, and do try touching the head. Using lube will actually make it hurt less to touch it.

Hi Eiri, After a few more days of strectching, I was able to retract it past or equal to the ridge (I couldn't tell cause there was a lot of smegma there). I tried to retract it a little further but it felt weird, So I think I have a frenulum breve, and didn't try to retract it a bit further.

One question is the smegma suppose to be sticky? cause I tried to pull my foreskin back to its original form but couldn't. I had to put a slight pressure at the top of my penis, so the phimotic ring can go over the ridge and roll back to its original form. My foreskin only rolls back it never want to slide and I did put a bit of lubrication as well, so what's the problem here? During this time, it felt like the head of my penis was tight, especially when I try to roll it back. It seems like it's giving pressure on the penis. Should I just get a circumcision? How much does it cost anyway?

You need to remove the smegma, you do realise? That'll probably help a ton!

Sure, get a circumcision if you want weeks of pain and have a deadened sensation in your penis. You remove over 80% of your sexual nerves when you get the foreskin removed. If you're making this much progress this fast, I doubt you need one.

I understand that I need to remove the smegma but my penis glans is still very sensitive and I've been pouring warm water over it and a little touch here and there with lubrication. I haven't touched the smegma yet so I would like to know if the smegma is suppose to be kind of sticky because I don't want to repeat that situation where my foreskin almost got stuck again trying to pull the foreskin forward to its original form, so i'm just being cautious for now.

I personally don't want to do a circumcision, like everybody else around here it would be my last resort.

Consider getting a preputioplasty. This minor operation involves cutting the tight phimotic ring so that the foreskin can retract freely. As far as getting a full circumcision, that's a pretty big step. There's a lot of bad information regarding the after effects of circumcision because oddly enough, the topic has become a political discussion. Reports of long-term deadened sensation are over-exaggerated but there would be a degree of discomfort for a few weeks afterwards. If you definitely want to keep your foreskin however, a preputioplasty is your best bet.

Yes, it can definitely be sticky since it is built-up bodily dirt, bacteria, and mucous.

K i have a question, I am uncircumsized and ive been reading the sympoms of phimosis. So far Ive seen that people deal with it on a constant basis, I have these symptoms but only occasionaly, is that another form of Phimosis? Ive noticed that if I regularly put lotion on my penis that the time between symptoms are longer. Or is this something else that im going to have to get checked for.

Well, do you mean that usually, 90% of the time, you can pull the foreskin all the way back when your penis is hard, but sometimes, you can't?

usually I can pull it all the way back when erect, just sometimes I cant. Sometimes I get tears still, under the head and along the sides of the foreskin. Thats when I cant. Like i said though if i keep lotion on it, then it happens less often.

Well it doesn't sound like a major problem, although the tears will create tighter and tighter scar tissue that can't spread, so try to avoid getting them.

cool thanks for the info
