Thanx for putting my mind at rest
>>>I wrote a message a few months ago about a phimosis ast it wasnd thanks to the advice i got i can now fully retract
>>>from reading other messages i decided to keep my glans exposed at all times which i have been doing for about 4 or 5 days now
>>>At first it was very sensitive but it is becoming much more comfortable
>>>It used to be too sensitive too touch but is getting better although masturbation is still only comfortable with the foreskin over the glans
>>>i was wondering if continuing to keep it exposed will desensitise it enough to allow comfortable masturbation and sex or if i will need to do something additional (sorry for going on so long)
>>I would seriously question whether you would need to do anything additional. It looks as if everything has gone well with you so far, and there is no reason to expect you not to have comfortable sex or masturbation. Thousands of men have lived contentedly with full retraction for their entire adult lives, and there is every reason to expect that you will, too. Few men have said much of what their women partners think of their retraction, but some do report increased "staying power," and nobody to my knowledge has reported their wives or girlfriends to be unhappy with their retracted condition. Hygiene and resistance to infections are improved too. The bottom line is that it's very much what you prefer and how you feel. Looks as if everything's ok with you at present, & I don't know why it wouldn't remain so! Best wishes, RJK.About time to see rational views on the third alternative- skinned back. About a century ago, before the high infant circ rates of the mid 1900's Drs were encouraging this for any one whose foreskin could be trained to be worn retracted for the benefits of cleanliness and less disease problems. In many parts of the world this is an accepted practice signifying adulthood.
