So now you're on the same boat as I am.

I had (almost) the same appearance 14 days after my procedure as I do right now, with a little more swelling. I still have a bit of swelling on the underside which I anticipate will take quite a few months to settle completely, but aside from that, I agree with you that circumcision can be your very best frined, in instances like ours.

Having gone my whole life (18+ years) without uncovering the penis, to suddenly having done so, it was one of the most exilarating experiences I have experienced and frankly I have known no better. I am sure having a functional foreskin would be equally as pleasing, but in the case that all you know is a tightened -- whitened opening, you suddenly begin to appreciate God. It really is something special. And in my instance, it really was something beneficial that I'll never look back on. I'm sure, like always, there are people who have had their own less pleasing experiences (as every cut / style is different). But in my own case, having that skin was like having a tight sock over it.

I am today celebrating 7 weeks since the procedure. Things are doing well. It still looks very (new) but also very clean. I'd imagine it will take a few months for the surrounding shaft skin to settle well and whatnot, but otherwise there have been no complications.

When I had used the antibiotic polysporin, it was Vitamin E enhanced, and so it sealed very well and I don't think it is necessary for me to use the oil (I have not been advised to do so).

Tell your wife I said hello. :-)

>Ok, its nearly 4 weeks now - and what a differance a week makes! Apart from a tiny little spot of wound that is STILL oozing ever so slightly, everything has sealed up. The swelling has nearly all gone now around the wound, but still not entirely. The whole thing is painless, but does twinge a little if I squeeze to hard after urinating (no great surprise?!). Urinating is still a wayward affair as I find the urine flow much stronger than before - I still prefer to sit down unless there is a urinal, and then I always get a splashback - Guess I will learn to deal with it. As for my previous concerns, well fellas, my Wife and I had some fun a few days ago, and I can confirm the ole fella definately still works! What an experience! Intercourse was comfortable, if a little sore, but we were taking it very easy, and the end result was truly wonderful - more intense maybe? Oral was considerably differant, probably more so for my Wife than I - but again the end result was very satisfactory. All in all, its fair to say that I noticed no loss of sensitivity, and the soreness was less than the discomfort of the BXO and Phimosis - and things will continue to get better. I started on the Vitamin E oil today. Really pleased with the appearance - and biggest surprise of all, the Glans are feeling really good. I can direct the shower directly onto it (and have been able to for 2 weeks) it does not feel uncomfortable when rubbing against anything, it is not dry and leathery, and hasnt really changed colour. Some of this will change with time, but for now, it looks and feels SO MUCH BETTER. I am not actually a great advocate of circumcism, but for me it was regarded as neccessary. The result has already changed my life BIG TIME. I no longer suffer the pain that I had for nearly 3 years, everything looks, feels and performs as well or better than it ever did, and I am one happy guy. As ever, thanks for all the support and advice - it really does help.
