>Thanks for that Ad, and to the others that have replied -its a great help knowing there are others that are going through or have been through this. I still can't believe I've been so naive all these years in not knowing about whether to pull the foreskin back or not. I've seen a few porn films over the years and noticed the lack of foreskin around the glan when someone is doing a "money shot" as they call it here, but always throught that was because they were circumcised !
>Still, the main thing is I'm dealing with it I suppose, and so far so good. First of all I thought that I would have to have major surgery, but from what I've been reading this is not necessary.
>I hope you're right about the sensitivity. I've had the foreskin pulled back all day to day (and pushed forwards whenever I go to the toilet in order to keep the skin elasticated) and I don't mind confessing that its been very painful at times when its rubbed against my shorts. Is it a good idea to keep the glan exposed for long periods in order to reduce its hyper-sensitivity ? My (uneducated) view is that the more I expose it, the quicker the sensitivity (or a "dryish superficial layer" as you said Ad) will form.
>Either way, I'll keep you posted, and once again thanks to all of you for your help and advice.

I have been wearing my foreskin back for a week or so now. And pulling it forward occasionally. I have kept it back all day and night although I have been awoken by the pain on getting erections a few nights!! And scrambled to get it forward again with alot of effort!
I was REALLY sensitive at first too and when wearing shorts it was very uncomfortable. I started wearing briefs that were tighter and worked better and I have now lost that sensitivity and it's fine. The only snag is that some days I don't pull the foreshin back and and when taking a piss, now that my foreskin has stretched a bit I am spraying the walls and floors in the toilets in work!!! It easier to pee with it back!
it's still painful to have it back while erect but not as bad as it was... it seems to be working slowly.

Ian.
