>Essentially there are only a few methods open to you a) circumcision, b) partial-circumcision, c) dorsal slit, d) stretching (which works for some and not for others).

if you are so much anti-stretching, CBAD should be the order, I think. Starting with the least invasive.

>You can consider it a given that most of the anti-circ community will give you a lot of advice on stretching and inserting devices down your foreskin (thing like 35mm film cannister, filed bottle tops etc).

Could we live without badmouthing each other, sir?

Stretching works fine without any additional objects. Granted the one who does it is diligent enough. I'd like you to stop this scaremongering about the stretching in general.

> Prior to taking on board I'd strongly suggest that you them with your doctor first (pros and cons etc).

To Mick: That goes for *every* solution. However, if you are in a mainly circumcised country such as USA, Canada, Australia, there is a higher chance the doctor you seek up doesn't really know about foreskins and was taught previously that the *only* solution to foreskin problems is circumcision*. Which is, well, not true. Most problems can indeed be fixed instead of thrown away.

*: Point is, that medical textbooks they were taught with, show pictures of the penis without foreskin, barely ever mentioning its existence, even less talking about its functions.
