>a). I know stretching is one alternative to a circ, but I'm wondering how effective it is and just what it entails that I do to help it?
It seems to have worked for a bunch of people. It takes time, but knowing the queues in western healthcare, you’ll probably get to a quite easily retractable foreskin by the time you’d get to your circumcision appointment date.
It can easily turn into a habit that doesn’t take more than a couple minutes in the morning — particularly less time than smoking breaks :P
We’ve had some people here on the forums whom we introduced to the methods, some of whom I still keep contact with and who have a retractable foreskin now. A marginally related example I can give are foreskin restorers, who are circumcised people who restore skin coverage with similar methods (although they exert tension on the skin 24/7 as opposed to periodically). Restoration seems to work in the vast majority of the cases, simple phimosis stretching should work just as often and it definitely isn’t by far that tedious a work.

>b). Is a healthy sex life possible with Phimosis? Is this definately something I want to get all figured out before I have sex or is there a chance that it won't be a problem?It is possible, however it is suboptimal, in regards of sexual pleasure — according to a good amount of people’s input.
If you’re completely unretractable, it is unlikely that sex would result in paraphimosis. If you can already retract a little, it’s perhaps a better idea to make the opening big enough so the erect penis’s head can safely pass through it.
