Spyros, I hope this guy and others who've complained here of tight foreskin, phimosis, etc., and have had no success with stretching, etc. BUT DON'T WANT TO GET CIRCUMCISED, will read your post carefully. They all need to know that dorsal slit does not remove any nerve endings and has little if any effect on how sex feels, once you've healed. (They may have to take your word for this until they try it themselves.)
D.S. shouldn't be equated with circumcision because NO TISSUE IS REMOVED, the slit can be very short--so short it's sometimes unnoticeable--and still relieve the tightness of the ring & get rid of the problem once & for all, healing quickly. Keep up the good work! rjk.

>I was in very similar circumstances about 9 months ago. I had tried all the creams and was told by 3 different doctors to get a circ. But, finnaly I found a doctor that would do a dorsal slit. I know that you dont want to have any surgery and I cant blame you the idea of amputating or even cutting part of my body is very unappealing. I can tell you from first hand experance that after the slit healed sex was no different after the slit than before my "ring" developed. Ive said it on this forum before my only regret is that I put off surgery for so long. Good luck in whatever path you take.
>>Hi,
>>I am 20 and have been stretching my foreskin for years now. I have it to where it is almost completely stretched out, yet there is still a stubborn tight band on skin around my penis. It is driving me nuts because even though it is only like a centimenter in width, it prevents me from cumming during sex or blowjob!!
>>I hate this!!!! Sex is not enjoyable because of this stupid band of skin.
>>
>>I first started with testosterone cream, then hydrocortisone cream, and now I have Lotrisone cream, which contains a small percentage of betamethasone. I thought this would finally solve it but it didn't! I stretch really hard and often, but my progress has come to a standstill! Is it possible i put too much of these creams on and made it worse (i.e. development of candida or scar tissue?)??? I was thinking of requesting the doctor to prescribe me Luxiq because it has a higher concentration of betamethasone, but I was wondering what brand name of cream/ointment you guys recommend first. The thing is I have doubts about another betamethasone cream working, and also Luxiq is a foam made for skin conditions on the scalp.
>>I am really desperate to solve this because I have a frustrated girlfriend, and this phimosis has cost me a WHOLE YEAR of sexual enjoyment. I even lose my erection during sex because the stimulation just isn't happening right!
>>
>>I have resorted to using anything I can think of to help thin out this final tight band of skin. I have used the acne cream Benzac, which contains salicylic acid, and I have also used a facial exfoliator cream. These helped little, so today I even used fine sandpaper to gently take a little skin off the the phimotic ring! It didn't hurt and smoothed out the ring a little (I have really tiny white bumps on the ring), so this is the best treatment I have come up with yet! BUt this damn ring still doesn't seem to be stretching!!! What the fuck am I supposed to do?? Is it scar tissue??
>>If i don't stretch this out once and for all and soon, I'm gonna snap and do something drastic and I don't know what. I even toyed with the idea of putting a little powerful wart medicine on it because it has powerful skin dissolving properties. I don't want to get circumcised or have a dorsal slit because the foreskin has nerve endings for sexual enjoyment, and I don't want to lose any part of my body which has nerves for sexual enjoyment.
>>What brand cream/lotion should I have the doctor give me ???? Does anybody have any cream they could sell me???
>>PLease help me, I am seriously going insane!!!
