>I guess this might sound strange but I was just wondering if there is any such thing as foreskin reduction surgery. I ask b/c this is something that has been bothering me for some time now. I have about 1.5 inch overhang, but I don't want a full circumcision, just a bit. It gets to be a problem urinating as it tends to trap a lot. I keep good hygienne but still, when I'm showering at the gym or after sports I try and pull it back beforehand but it never works. I get kind of embarassed by it too. People haven't said anything, apart from my friends who tease me, jokingly though, but I can tell they're looking. Any help would be appreciated.
>Thanks.

Well, perhaps your friends are jealous - that's often what people tease most about. The short answer to your question is, yes, you can get just about any amount cut off that you ask for - just be very specific. I would advise against it, because it cannot be done without losing a lot of nerve endings and because ample mobile foreskin facilitates intercourse. Generally it works as its own lubrication system and tickler all in one. As for it trapping pee - well, pull the skin back to expose the glans when you pee and shake a bit afterwards. That has worked for me for many years. You won't get any more retention then than if you were cut. Think through the surgery decision carefully - it's forever, and cut nerves do not regenerate.
