Well, I just had a full circumcision 19 days ago....I don't know how the recovery for that compares with a partial but I'll try to estimate, based on my own current experiences. I'm sure AJ will be more helpful:

>a) start driving: I don't drive but I imagine it would be pretty difficult in the first week. After that should be fine though.

>b) Start back at work: Many people go back after just a few days. I went back after 2 weeks and that was good for me - I was able to walk freely without anyone knowing what I had done. If you are able to take a couple of weeks off, I would strongly recommend it.

>c) Start sports: I would say at least a month to play sport (depending on how vigorous the sport is), probably more like a month and a half to be really comfortable if it's competitive.

>d) Start masterbating: Haven't tried that yet....I'm thinking maybe another week or so (or when all the stitches are gone - many of mine are still there).

>e) Start Sex: Right now I can't even imagine when I'm going to have sex again! I still have stitches and it doesn't look the greatest either. I'm hoping for three months (I'm being conservative here - I'm not going to attempt anything if I think it could hurt the healing process), I think that is realistic. Many people of course have sex well before that but it is often very cautious, just be careful if you're not fully healed.
