Re: phimosis: my story and questions

Thanks for your detailed reply.


> You most certainly were born with Phimosis.

Ok. I just thought that phimosis was not necessarily caused by
"phimotic ring". From what you described on the site, phimotic rings
are tough white tissue, and I find it hard to imagine that every
uncircumcised man would have such a tissue (i.e. in most men, a wide
ring).

Btw, would you have any idea why I don't see the white stuff in my
phimotic ring? I do see tiny ridges, though.

Ok. So not all babies are born with pinhole phimosis?

He. It's certainly not getting in the way of my sex life, although I
imagine it could if I didn't use lubricated condoms.

Do you know if there exists a stretching device that would fit under
the phimotic ring and make pressure outwards? Preferably a hollow,
expandable ring.
I've seen Glansie, but it looks like a pair of crucible tongs, which
seems uncomfortable and I think you need to hold it.
