Rod, yours is an altogether fitting response to the spiteful, stupid posting ('Why?', 08 July 01, 22:50:54)that was sent to you.
Now, to get to the more important matter of what to do to help get through your problem of the moment: it may be helpful to soak your penis (or more precisely, your glans) in warm water for 10-20 minutes every evening, then dry it thoroughly. When it's fully dry, you can sprinkle it liberally with after-bath powder (DON'T use foot powder, which may contain irritating disinfectants), which will act to insulate the bare glans from contact with your clothing and any other irritant. (If you can't stand the hot water, the powder alone should still be helpful. I'd certainly try it.) If baby powder is easier to come by than the after-shower variety, it works too since it's mild and won't burn delicate tissue. This powder is helpful whether you're hyper-sensitive or not. I knew a Jewish guy who used it regularly even though he'd been circumcised since he was 8 days old.
Another thing: you may not be getting enough vitamins (& other nutritional items your body needs for natural repair processes), particularly if you're a meat & potatoes or fish & chips guy. Eating an orange a day (or other fresh fruit & veggies -- even Brussels sprouts!), and taking a supplemental vitamin pill -- Vitamin E helps some people -- could move your body's repair process in the right direction.
In the normal course of things, you will get better, but you may be able to hasten things along by working to cooperate with your body. Good luck! rjk.

>>Why do people go around doing darned fool things like getting circumcized and then bleat on incessantly for help to cope with the aftermath? From what you say below, you never needed cutting and you shouldn't of done it.
