Hehehe, I could interpret that on a funny day that "it works for some, but those who don't want to bother long enough, it doesn't" --- which /has/ been one of your points earlier when you questioned the "successfulness" of stretching. I recall some discussion with arbitrary thought-up percentages and that your stance was almost like if 80% was nothing. Well yes, some people thing in half-empty glasses, and some do in half-full ones. The precise engineer will craim that the container is twice the needed size ;P
>He suggests there is some profound differences between people's foreskins, which make some of them "stretchable" and others not. He doesn't specify what those differences might be.
That's, however, true.
>Jim and PaulB disagree with him, claiming that all skin is stretchable.
Sort-of-kind-of. All are variably stretchable, and fungus-infected skin areas are well known to be more prone to break and less prone to grow. Which is something AJ warns everyone about: not-growing and tearing. A healthy foreskin won't do these --- it'd be painful enough way before, any sensible person, even I'd bet most almost-adults can see how much is too much. Maybe I'm too optimistic.
