Greetings! I can understand the fear you have - someone who has been circ'd doesn't know just how sensitive the head of a penis can be when the foreskin has been retracted. One of the things that has worked for me was stretching my foreskin a little at a time. I did it first thing in the morning in the shower - a little uncomfortable, perhaps, but it has worked - I can now retract it either when flaccid or erect. There is a link on this site that explains it a little more. Do a search under 'stretch' - It'll give you the advantages and disadvantages associated with it.
Keep in mind - it is a little slower than anything along the lines of dorsal slits, etc. Apparently the application of some creams helps too.
Hope it helps.

>Hi, I'm 42 and over the past couple of years my forskin has tightened up to the point it cant be retracted even when flaccid and is causing a lot of discomfort.
>I contacted my doctor who took a 5 second look and said "circumcision", "will be painful" and "require a day or so in Hospital". I accept that something has to be done but the thought of having a very sensitive part of my body exposed scares the hell out of me.
>Reading on the internet there seems to be a couple of alternatives i.e. creams (in my case would need to work miracles I think)and more importantly partial circumcision, the latter I had never heard of before and sounds as though it may be the answer I want to hear, can anybody advise me on where to obtain info and the possibilty of persuading my doctor that this avenue should be explored.
