In response to that, it may be that I have a preoccupation with having a permanently bared glans, I don't know. What I do know is that my foreskin represents nothing but negative feelings of anxiety, self-consciousness etc. for me and the decision to have a circumcision has beome more than just a medical one - it is now a cosmetic decision, as I have come to greatly dislike being uncircumcised. This is why stretching and other less dramatic procedures to no have the same appeal for me.

>It seems odd to me that you say your concern is relief of phimosis, which sould be done by stretching, dorsal slit or minimal circumcision (sometimes called partial), and yet you are already certain you want to have every possible bit of loose skin removed. I strongly suggest you consider the basis for your thoughts. It appears that you have not just a desire for the glans to be accessible, as the procedures I have named would do, but some preoccupation with a permanently and totally bared glans. Particularly since this is an unnatural state, you should resolve first the basis for this desire to remove the slightest bit of 'give'
