I am indeed sorry you have been so abused by the medical profession.

Did it look any more like dirt than what comes out of your ears? If
that troubles you, what operation do you need on your ears to stop
the "dirt" building up? Is not cleaning sufficient?

So it works fine.

How far back do you want it to go? Around your ankles?

Don't be scared. You are normal. Look, I'm really sorry you ran into
some two-bit "doctor" who is really a money-making machine. Please
read my original post and understand the subtle satire.

What you really need to do is get married as planned and learn about and
enjoy sex with your wife. Continue to stretch your foreskin back if it
is somewhat tight. Sex with your wife is in fact an excellent way to
continue to do this. Concentrate on loving her rather than unnecessary
and possibly even self-indulgent concern about a trivial matter about
which she would never have worried (unless perhaps she by some chance
happens to have a particular knowledge of anatomy ;-).

I mean to say you apparently had but a minor problem in the first
place, and you either fixed it or are well on the way to doing so. You
really need to leave it be now.
