... I'm not the only person that stretching has not worked for. Medical studies have shown it doesn't work for everybody.
>Ah, but all the ones we've posted have said they ARE all successful.
As for advice, PaulB, it's not good advice to tell people to cut open a a plastic bottle, file it, and stick it down the foreskin. That's not good advice, it's stupid advice... your advice is to stick knives down there and cut the foreskin off, and you don't think that's stupid? Sounds totally dangerous to me, and extremely bad advice.

You admit that you haven't been successful with one approach, then immediately dismiss a different one out of hand? Competent advice, indeed. Why don't yopu go back to fathermag and argue with your friends, Tommy, Jim, Chris and the rest? Some of them continue to say that stretching -always- works, and that circumcision is -never- necessary.
The fact is that no one solution works for everybody. It makes sense to try the least invasive procedures first. Stretching -may- work, and it -may- prove a permanent solution. In other cases, it turns out to be a constant maintenance ritual that never gets any better, and a lot of people happen to think that simply cutting it off and getting it over is the way to go.
