Is there a limit to how far you can stretch?

Hi,

I'm 21, and until about 2 and a half years ago, i couldn't retract my foreskin at all. Sex would hurt and i found it almost impossible to get any enjoyment out of it (if you know what i mean). I looked on the net and found this page - and after taking the advice about stretching the foreskin i started by just trying to roll it back more and more. It slowly began to work (I noticed that if left alone for week or 2 the foreskin would tighten again slightly, but would be easier to free-up back to how it was before), until the point where i could get it all the way past the head, and i could introduce 2 fingers from each hand into the foreskin and pull outwards to stretch (this took nearly a year). I stopped consciuosly trying to stretch it about 18 months ago and regular(ish) sex/masturbation seems to keep it at a constant level of tightness. These days i can pull my foreskin back over the head when erect, but it doesn't stay back - and there is a noticeable hourglass effect characterised by the thin white phimotic band when erect, although i can live with this - sex is now much more enjoyable - even 'normal' which is what i set out to achieve.

I realise that i am quite lucky in that i have a reasonably loose phimosis these days, but i would like to be able to pull my foreskin all the way back and without the painful pinching of the hourglass effect. My question to you is - do you think further stretching will loosen the phimosis even more until this is achieved? Or have i reached a limit, if you like - the 'phimotic wall' :)

It may be worth mentioning that i remember as a very small child having to administer drops down my foreskin as it stang when i peed - possible balanitis or something which may have something to do with the phimosis?

Anyhow, any feedback on this would be greatly appreciated - and if you're reading this worried about having never made acquaintance with your bell-end - don't worry - i hadn't until about 2 years ago, just be patient and stretch (and w*nk a lot), it does work!!

Andy.
