Stretching progress - you're feedback please

Written by RC2 at 18 Sep 2004 05:38:40:

Hello,

If you have not ready my other post, I recently discovered I have phimosis and am quite depressed as my GP recommended circumcision, said there was nothing else that could be done and refused to perscribe a steroid cream for me.

Anyway, getting to the point, I decided to see if stretching exercises would help. I started out with around a 2-3 mil opening in the foreskin (in other words very tight over the glans, but no problems urinating). After about an hour of stretching, the max opening is around 1.1 cms (while actively pulling the foreskin towards the body). Unfortunately, this isn't nearly enough to actually retract over my glans. However, it has has given me some hope that I may not have to go through with surgery. Also, today was the first time I've seen the tip of my glans...which is kind of wierd and exciting at the same time.

Can you give me some feedback on whether this progress is normal and also suggest the best technique(s) to use while stretching? Currently, I just pull away from my body for a couple of minutes, then try pushing the foreskin as far down as possible.

Thanks in advance.
