As an answer to: Please help, I have been steching forskin and it is now sore written by Jonathan Gaydon at 19 Jul 2002 02:34:07:

Here's some non anti-circ information on stretching, that briefly delves into some of the consequences of tearing etc. Taken from http://www.circinfo.com/.

Sadly not many people here have actually had experience with foreskin stretching. This is apparent by the comparative suggestion that the foreskin works in the same way as when a person puts on excess weight. While the skin does expand/grow to accomade fat it also shrinks (for want of a better word) when a person loses weight. This can be seen everywhere. Ask someone who has lost 30lbs and see if they have inches and feet of spare stretched skin hanging around their ankles. While there are some people that have been successful in stretching their foreskin, but many also have found that it either didn't work or worked only temporary - just like a fat persons skin reverting to it's more normal state after weight loss. I'd strongly suggest that you take on board the advice of a qualified doctor. If you are not happy with your current doctors suggestion and input - get a second opinion. I'm certainly not saying I'm a doctor and that I am correct, because I'm not a doctor - nobody here is. You deserve to have qualified objective medical input and not that from unqualified and inexperienced oft-hysterical individuals. Perhaps you could ask your parents to review the advice you have been given online too. Their input might prove valuable and help gain you a better perspective on what is a scary situation.

All the best.
