>ok, so ive been able to retract my foreskin exposing the whole glans, but ive only been able to do it when my penis is flacid. i am somewhat worried about the chances of paraphimosis, and the foreskin still seems very tight. should i be worried about paraphimosis or getting an erection(which i assume would cause enormous pain...)when retracting the foreskin? and about how long does it usually take to go from this state to a retractable foreskin while erect? i have found alot of techniques on going from small opening to retractable, but not too much on going from flaccid retractable to erect retractable. any recommendations? thanks alot !
>-eI was with ChII's advice until he said to leave it retracted for long periods. Once you achieve the looseness you want, you won't have any problem with re-tightening unless you get an infection or fail to do anything with your penis. Letting the skin cover the glans protects sensitivity. Cleanliness is only a problem if you don't clean, and that applies with or without glans coverage. Oh, and the medicine to use is betamethasome, not a cortisone: I'm actually not clear whether corticosteroid is a term which applies to either of those, but those are the products you are likely to encounter.
