Cheers - that Beaugé link's an interesting one. I remember seeing it months ago, but had completely forgotten about it. After reading that, and from what you say, looks like I'm not done with the stretching yet. Probably a fair bit left to do, in fact... hohum

Just as an aside - I wouldn't consider myself a diehard anti-circ type, just don't think it's for me. Having basically just 'discovered' my foreskin, I'm not in any particular rush to lose it. But, what does annoy me is the fact that of the three medical professionals I went to see about this problem, (2 GP's and a urologist), each recommended a circumcision and all but laughed when I asked about more conservative treatments to try first. The urologist basically asked "what's your problem with being circumcised - it's nothing". I find it difficult to understand that kind of flippant attitude from these people about a decision that's obviously a pretty big deal for the patient - big enough to put yourself through the ordeal of droppin your trousers in front of a complete stranger and showing him your dick, in order to try sorting the problem out. Are these guys just lazy about keeping themselves informed about alternatives, or do they just not give a shit?

Anyway - didn't mean to start ranting - sorry. Officially stepping off my soapbox now...!

Cheers for the response.
JD
