>What do you mean by staying whole? Sorry but english is my second language !

Whole, is what you said: you said you prefer to avoid circumcision.
And your English is better than you’d think, don’t worry about it ;)

>You also say all I 'll need is my two hands...you mean masturbating?

http://f19.parsimony.net/forum33578/messages/11243.htm should give a basic idea about it.

>About the exact condition, I saw in the site and identified as the pinhole phimosis which is then the total impossiblity for me to retract the skin and so I've never seen the "glans". So far I never had nay infections or pain and besides, as I have already mentioned I don't have intention to have intercourse as I consider myself a passive homosexual guy.

*nods* I see.

>I thank you very much for ansering these post because this has been my only way for understanding it all better. I've read some e-mail in the site and I didn't really know that there were so many people with this problem ...

>At the moment I 'm paying no health plan and so it would be difficult to get to a good doc but as I'm not having any trouble as infection or so.... I'll prefer to stay as I am. You said it would be complicated if I had intercourse but I don't think I will for the reason metioned above and so using my "two hands" I can get myself a treatment , right?!

If you have a “pinhole” phimosis as you describe it, it’s quite unlikely that you’d encounter the paraphimosis problem anytime soon (if ever), even if you had sex.

Someone mentions cancer below — you should perhaps look at statistics for it to get a better picture. In both cases, it’s quite a small number, but a circumcision definitely doesn’t give a full protection against it (furthermore, no-one really knows what causes it, but just as with other cancers, you don’t get them “because” you have the whatever body part (you can get lung cancer if you have lungs, but lung cancer is definitely NOT caused by your lungs — if you see the point)). He also mentions that people who do stretching exercises, end up dissatisfied — this is a matter of perception. Some people don’t seem to be happy with they could/can achieve with their foreskin, and are happier without it — this is nowhere universal.
