>>Hi
>>I had a partial circ about 16 months ago. Its great. I wish I had got it done years ago. Somewhere on this site there is 'my story'. If stretching doesnt work just go for it. I dont regret it at all. Just make sure that you tell them what you want. They wanted to do a full circ but I said NO I want to keep as much skin as I could. They did what I wanted!
>>Hope it works out for you.

Looks as if Spyros has good advice, as does Paul. A short dorsal slit, just long enough to permit easy retraction whether flaccid or erect, is all most guys need for a totally satisfactory sex life and a healthy, easily-cleaned penis. There must be plenty of MDs in BC who are willing to do it, even though many might prefer to do a total circ. It's all well and good for somebody else to say "Don't cut it!", but if you have to live with a tight foreskin day in and day out & are faced with having to worry about stretching, etc., a conservative dorsal slit (sometimes called the "French cut" by irreverent US doctors) is a pretty good way to go, particularly if you're planning on getting married soon. Best wishes, RJK.
