Hi,
im also suffring fomr phimosis and have been stretchind my phimotic ring rather irregularly. But i have seen improvment from past few months and have been able to stretch more then it used to get stretched earlier specially during mastrubation.
I wanted to ask on how mch more time will it take it for it to stretch down completely. I am able to completely retract the foreskin while in flacid state but not if i get even a small amout of erection.
I would also like to convey my whole hearted thanx to this community as it helped me recognise and help me find the solution to a problem that i might have gone about un-noticed.
I'm sure i am going to recomend this site to any one in need.


>Hi Chris,
>its fine starting a new thread.
>I am no expert (are there any anywhere?)
>Lets just think practically and think about keep fit and stretching as in yoga etc. ... doing yoga once a day for an hour is not as effective as doing it four times a day for 15 mins ... I would suggest that 5 mins 4 times a day, and then a quick I minute every time you go for a piss would be optimal.
>Tensing repeats - again we have no standardised tests with control groups etc. - I think what would help most is just a continuous motion of stretching - relaxing - I dont think it helps as much holding it stretched for even one second - then again if we think of yoga it is often recommended that one holds the stretch - Im afarid I dont understand the different natures of muscle and phimotic ring - maybe holding stretched for one second would be a good idea, but Im afarid there are no comparative studies on this.
>What we need to achieve is elasticity in the phimotic ring - maybe my common sense is wrong - but I believe the continual stretching relaxing is the best way to encourage this elasticity.
>Hope thats answered. -hows it all going?
>cheers

>>Hey. I talked to you a while ago in the post "The story so far". A few quick questions on your method:
>>
>>1. How long do you recomemend stretching for (A period of 30 minutes daily, etc.)?
>>OR
>>2. How many "Tensing" reps (IE, pulling outward until tensing and relaxing) would you recommend. How long should the reps last? (a second, 3 seconds, half a second?)
>>Just a few specifics that the stretching FAQ doesnt seem to cover.
