Hi there
Thanks for that info, it was quite good to hear.
I am actually off to see a urologist again tomorrow and will discuss issues of stretching etc using steroid creams. I have come to realise that there might be ways of decreasing sensitivity - and believe me this is what I am looking for.
I've gotta say that the number of people having similar problems that I have spoken to all seem to have varying factors. It seems no two are alike.
I have only spoken to one other guy who shares the sensitivity that I have - and I am hoping that as we share info, and hopefully talk to others as they come out of the woodwork that we can find some answers.
I was interested to read what you had to say about the glans becoming accustomed to coming into contact with things apart from the foreskin. It's something I am going to look into.... abeit begrudglingly!
No pain, no gain... quite LITERALLY! hehe

>Hey Matt
>Have you tried to stretch your foreskin progressively? This can take a while, but I think it’s well worth the effort. As your foreskin loosens, your glans should get more accustomed to gentle handling and will no longer respond with pain. This should happen fairly quickly. It just needs to learn that certain kinds of touch are OK.
>Learning to use contact lenses might be roughly analogous. At first your eyes want nothing to do with these foreign objects, and react with irritation and pain. Pretty soon, though, they learn that contact lenses are OK. Eyelashes, fingers, and most other things, however, are still not OK. It’s quite clever.
>Your glans has already learned that being touched by the interior surface of your foreskin is OK. It just needs to get accustomed to a few other OK experiences.
>Getting circumcised will very likely clear up your over-sensitivity problem completely, but it might be worth thinking about other options too.
>Stretching seems a good way to go because the sensations you’d discover if you got your skin loose are pretty amazing. Also, the foreskin is a simple but impressive mechanism.
