>Thanks for the support, Robin.
>I have inspected myself thoroughly and I appear to just have a tight foreskin. I know I could get it to come back with some stretching or maybe the cream. My penis appears much less affected than most here.
>I consider myself mature and very level-headed, able to rationalise anything. I had an incision inside my mouth once to puncture an enormous abcess, I knew the pain would be dreadful (no anaesthetic) but I rationalised it, the benefits outweigh the trauma. It bloody well hurt more than anything else I've ever experienced and I knew it would.
>So why can't I do this simple thing to my foreskin? I know the good advice I've received here is sound and the benefits far outweigh the pain. But not the fear.
>Grrrr. I can't sodding well believe I'm letting myself get in a state over this.

UK Dude, it's time to put a stop to this handwringing and end your problem. What you need to do is go straightway to a competent surgeon and get yourself circumcised. Then, when everything has healed, your problem will be gone. Ordinarily I'd urge a guy in your situation to considcer all the alternatives (cream-and-stretching, dorsal slit, et al.), but you obviously are in no emotional condition to approach this slowly and rationally, & conceivably you will continue the handwringing and whinging for months into the forseeable future, with no positive outcome. So, although what is proposed here may seem unacceptably drastic to you, I believe it will move you past square one and get you over the whole thing. Consider this carefully. Maybe stretching & handling is preferable??? RJK.
