Hi Nathan
It's best to wear some snug-fitting briefs. That'll minimise the movement of your penis and consequent stimulation to the glans.
Is it better to get used to it now or minimise the stimulation? Good question, and I'm afraid that I don't know the answer. My own feeling is that once you're fully healed your penis you can do pretty much what you will, but until then, it's best to be as gentle as possible.
I found it comfortable to touch very early on, but then I hadn't suffered from phimosis and so was used to the glans being touched beforehand. Don't worry, it's just a case of getting used to it. It'll feel great before long, I promise.

>It's been 9 days since my circ now, and I am pretty annoyed by the glans sensitivity. I still can't wear pants comfortably, and you can forget about boxers, loose or tight. Just the touch of the glans hurts alot, altho less than before.
>My question is for those who got circed... how long did it take to be totally comfortable? I heard the first 2 weeks suck and then the 3rd week it goes down alot. (were you able to wear boxers in the 1st 2 weeks?)
>Did you actually touch the glans the 1st 2 weeks? Or did you just let it air out most of the time? I avoid touchingit as much as I can, but i wonder if the sensitivity will go away that way?
