Jay-
Interesting profile you have there on Yahoo.

>Hi all,
>Since I can remember, I've never been able to retract my foreskin whether my penis be errect or flacid.
>I'm now 19 and am starting to wander what I can do next.
>My foreskin's opening is no larger than 3 or 4mm big which as you can guess is pretty tight. It balloons when I go to the toilet which isn't uncomfortable luckily but I'd rather it didn't(!)
>I tried using Betamethasone cream but after a few days of use my foreskin became very dry and flaky - to the point where it started to crack, bleed and hurt. I only put it on once or twice a day (normally once) and even tried moisturising cream to balance out the dryness of the skin. Overall this didn't help because when I stretched the skin would break up and bleed.
>I went to the GP a few months ago who had a look and agreed it was very tight. He recommended right away that I have a partial if not full circumcision. I asked him about the cream you can apply but he didn't seem to listen to that. "If you were my son I would have got it done ages ago" he said.
>Well, I strongly disagreed with him and walked out determined to stretch my foreskin and not go for the snip. However, I find it really hard to get anywhere with stretching. I want to use the cream to help me but I'm afraid of my skin drying up again.
>I've read that people have put small object down the hole to gradually stretch the skin but I haven't found anything suitable. I tried a biro lid but even that is too big to fit down - it shoots back out when I push it in and I can't even thing about putting it in the other way round because it's too big for my hole!
>I've seen these odd people who have stretched their ear lobes to the size of a large coin (don't ask why!) and was wandering what type of thing they use to do it?
>I'm gradually starting to give up on the stretching and I'm thinking "well I might as well just get a partial circumcision" but there's a stronger part of my which really doesn't want it done. When I walked out of the doctors, I wanted to prove him wrong by walking back in a few months later and showing him I had done it. However, the things I try to do just don't help.
>I really want to be able to retract my foreskin so please do any of you guy's have any idea's???
>Thanks in advance,
>Jay
