>Recently I saw a specialist who told me stretching would fix it..., after 6 months and stretching occasionaly(plus trying to with masturbbation) but still seeing not the slightest improvement i have given up and want to get a partial circumcision...
Depending on where you live, that's possdible. I have a friend in Norway who just had the tight place removed. After the surgery, he was dismayed to find that he still was unable to retract. He had to wait until the site of his partial circ healed and then... you guessed it, had to stretch his remaining foreskin to get it to open! In the end, though, he was very successful and happy with the result. But that was in Europe where the medical community some value in having a foreskin. In the US, if that's where you live, a doctor seeing a foreskin only sees something that hasn't been removed YET. Just like you wouldn't choose a heart surgeon who's never done the operation you need, doctors in the US don't do partials, the concept isn't even taught in medical school... kind of gives new meaning to the term "medical practice."
>I just want to ask someone who has gotten it done and is in my boat, doesnt have the routine or time to spend 30 minutes carefully stretching and retracting their foreskin every night these questions..
Well, having a tight foreskin is a boat lots of males are in at one time or another, myself included. I think you're really envisioning the stretching routine as more of a hobby than the cure it really is.
First thing you need to do is get your GP to write a prescription for Betamethazone Ointment or Cream. This will give you a leg up on your efforts.
Next, since you don't mention any horrific conditions present on your foreskin other than the opening being tight, the main reason your not able to pull it right back is the fact that it hasn't been consistently asked to do this. Yes, it's going to resist and complain at first, but it WILL give up and you'll have your way.
Use the ointment or cream twice a day and then everytime you put hand to willy, put your foreskin in the stretch without causing pain, but still providing tension. You have said you already enjoying wanking, just add putting your foreskin in the stretch instead of just tossing to and fro over your knob as you have been. Also, whilst having a pee, pull your foreskin back as far as it will go several times... when you take him out a couple of times (unless things are in a bit of a rush, then get on with business) and when you've finished and shake him off, or, if you're at home, stretch back as far as you can and give the knob a gentle wipe and you'll avoid spotting your trousers as well as having a stretch.
With the Betamethazone and CONSISTENT stretching, your friend will soon get the idea that therre's a new trick to be learned. You won't see any progress for the first bit and then you'll notice you've made some real headway.
