Are you telling us that stretching the skin does indeed work?

>>>English Bloke
>>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.

We would just like to hear that in your own words.
