>>Wow, thanks. That's a whole new perspective...
>>I've been think of trying a partial circ. But I do know not many doctors will agree to it. I can definately say the urologist I've been to is biased towards circ. He recommended it right away and all, so I don't think it'd be easy to get a partial circ.
>Partial circumcision is quite a silly term for it (we’ve been arguing about that for quite a while here), you are either cut around or not, it is not a factor of “partiality” of the circumcision itself how much skin it leaves.
>>About stretching, I'm 23, and it seems indeed whenever I spend like one week without stretching, it goes back a little... I don't know, is it a fact that you can stretch less and less as you get older?
>That’s true, more or less. Not really “less” can you stretch as you grow older, but slower can you.
>I think it’s a valid thought that you go and try it and see if you like it. You cannot change your mind after you’ve gone under the knife.
>As for the weeks when you leave it alone — yes, it happens to some of the people. However, it never shrinks back to the “original” size, nor even near that.

Also, 'stretching' is only a description of your initial action. The body's reaction to repeated and continued stresses is to grow as needed. If you do sit-ups, you build abdomenal muscles, if you carry large weights, you build up all the necessary muscle, sinew and bone. And if your foreskin is frequently held wide, it grows wider to accommodatwe the demand put on it.

BTW, during those weeks you are not working on it, are you using the foreskin in masturbation. Most intact guys with mobile foreskins masturbate by grasping the foreskin and moving it over the glans: not only does this stimulate both the glands and the foreskin, it stretches the foreskin very nicely. It's not as dramatic as the 'stretching exercises' but it should prevent 'relapse.'
