>The foreskin itself isn't painful, altho the frenelum is. The weird thing is some weeks back, I got it all the way back for the first time ever, and I left it there for a while, big mistake, it started to choke the glan, and to get it back rolled up I had to press on the head.. I will tell you, that was most atrocious pain i've ever felt, also it was swelling up and I panicked. Anyways, since the day my foreskin doesn't seem to stretch as far back anymore.. usually I can stretch it down a good amount with time, now it just seems to block.
Hmm. That’s interesting. In any case, it does seem that your foreskin isn’t half as tight as I thought it was, and that’s most likely cureable with a bit of tugging here and there.
I do well understand your experience with the head of the penis, I remember when I was about ten years old and mine was similarly sensitive. That painfulness definitely goes away the more you play around with it. (I'm soon 22 and I’ve — as we say here in Hungary — fallen over to the other side of the horse: my glans is nowhere as sensitive as I’d want it to, and I’m just as much not circumcised as you are.)
By the way, when did you do this?
>About the sex, I am not too worried about penetration, I am more worried about oral sex and how painful that would be. It'd be nice to be able to handle everything without holding back.
While it definitely depends on the sensitivity/painfulness of the glans too, I must tell you that I don’t like to get sucked, even though I don’t really have any sensitivity in my glans anymore.
Must be a “people differ” kind of thing ;)
Definitely, when your glans calms down and gets somewhat used to being meddled with — and I do heavily support doing that gradually — you can go and test it :P
>I wasn't told to use a q-tip, but it's the softest way I can find to apply the cream.. my finger alone is just too painful, and it's easier to manipulate a q-tip than a finger.. The q-tip itself doesn't really touch the glan, the cream on the q-tip does.
Ah, I see.
I still disapprove of it a bit.>It's usually lubricated enough, as in it's not dry. The foreskin itself doesn't really hurt, i think it's the frenulum holding everything back..it seems a reddish color when I stretch, inflammated maybe? I have been stretching and it does a small difference, but like I said earlier, it seems to have worsened ever since my skin got stuck behind my head.
Can well be that the glans has an inflammation, rather. (Also been there, done that, when I was about, uh, 5.) I’m not sure what kind of products could be used for that, but I’ll ask around.
>>As for cleaning, Ivan usually suggests that one buys a syringe and uses it (without the needle of course!) to press water inside while the foreskin is too tight.
>What I do is take a bath, pull the foreskin back, and rinse it that way.. it doesn't hurt at all when I do that, so it's fine. I just can't pull it all back tho.Yea, I was thinking you had a really unretractable foreskin when I wrote that ^^;
>>Seeing how long the waiting lists are and such, it might be a good idea to spend that time actively.
>Agreed. I actually want everything this done before 11 weeks from now... since I have a trip to go see my girlfriend then. *coughs*Problem. Don’t forget about the healing time and the accustoming time we’ve mentioned. Especially the latter. And somewhere inbetween that the oedema goes down.
