>>Look i really respect your comments on this forum, and its people like you that are there to give encouragement and this takes up a lot of your time, for that i thankyou on behlaf of all those that are suffering from these conditions. But i am struggleing and thinking of having a partial and not a full circ because i beleieve i have to much skin at the end of my penis that is too narrow. You see if the tip was removed i would still have a foreskin but at least one that was easily retractable; as the thin narrow end was removed.!!!!!!!
>Steven, this approach--removing the skin that is too narrow at the end of your penis--would put a definite end to the condition that's troubling you, in short order. If you want to do it, and decide yourself to have it done, you're never likely to regret it. I'm not urging you either to do it, or not to; what you do with your penis is YOUR AFFAIR alone, not mine nor anyone else's. But what you propose is a reasonable approach.
>Another approach that should end the problem [although it would not remove what you consider to be too much skin] is dorsal slit, which Spyros has written about on this forum a number of times. The slit need not be overly long, just long enough to free the narrow skin so it is easily retracted. Another point is that no tissue [with its complement of nerve endings] its removed. If you consider the look of an unshorn penis important, d.s. need not change this greatly; if short, it is likely to be scarcely noticeable. But totally manageable & comfortable. Of course, it's your body, your penis, and your life. Good luck!
I'm wondering why you won't consider a complete circumcision. I had one when I was in my 20's under local antesetic and found that it was a very simple and painless proceedure. Also, my sex is just as good if not better than before. It is much easier to clean than before and I think much better-looking. Of course, you could get a partial, but you will have almost all the same proceedures without a complete job. I respect your decision, but I would suggest a complete circumcision.
