As an answer to: Re: Progress written by tmtanec at 07 Mar 2002 00:02:40:
>Hey, that’s progress indeed Russell. Fast or what? And yeah, it’s not too surprising it smelled a bit gross. It’s been shut in for eighteen years man. That’s one hell of a ripe Camembert.
>Think it’d be very unlikely you’d catch an STD from a toilet bowl. It would be skin on the outside of your penis that brushed against the bowl, so even if someone had wiped the suppurating glans of his gonorrhoeal cock all around the bowl only two minutes before you came in, you’d still be unlikely to catch gonorrhoea. The thing about STDs, as I guess you know, is they’re almost always sexually transmitted, and tend to require contact between mucus membranes in order to pass from one person to another. Otherwise people would pick them up from door handles, taps, beer glasses, shaking hands… And they’d be ATDs – Anyhow Transmitted Diseases.
>The frenulum thing is interesting. People are usually right or left-handed. Cocks are often right or left-handed too. As a foreskin rolls forwards its frenulum tends to curl either to the left or the right, so as to fold against one or other of the two bulbs that form the forward surface of the glans. Even in foreskin that has never been retracted, it will probably tend to lie one way or the other. (Could this even be a predictor for handedness?)
>I’m left-handed, and my cock is left-handed too. If I leave it for long enough so smegma collects around my frenulum - like after four days out in the mountains or something – more collects on the left than on the right. Sounds like you have a right-handed cock. You’re right-handed too, no? A newly exposed glans is going to be as least as red as the inside of the mouth. Don’t worry about it. Over the next few weeks you can let it get used to gentle handling. It will probably become less red.
>The large wrinkled ring. If this is your foreskin bunched up behind your glans after you’ve retracted it, don’t worry. Could be you’ve just got a longish and maybe quite thick foreskin.
>Your stretching device with the inflatable tube sounds interesting. Write some more about this if you have time.
>Anyhow, it sounds like your foreskin is beginning to stretch. So, tip of the day: next time you have penetrative sex, go at it fairly gently.
>Cheers. Keep us posted.
>AdIsn't it fascinating how a simple idea can spur such inspiration as an inflatable device? Plastic surgeons employ this technique often, as do Chinese medical doctors treating phimosis.
