"Laterally" means "to the
side". It means to pull your fingers away
from each other to the sides, keeping an
equal distance between them. You also need
to stretch vertically, which means up and
down. You do the same thing as laterally,
but instead of putting your fingers out to
the sides, you pull one finger up and the
other finger down at the same
time.
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.
