> That's the end result, PaulB. Now he needs to determine what is preventing him from retracting his foreskin (phimosis, frenulum etc), so that it can be resolved.
Well now, that's what the Americans call a "no-brainer". It's in his very first sentence: "Since as long as i can remember, i have not been able to retract my foreskin. i thought this was completely normal". He hadn't been able to retract his foreskin, because - he thought it was completely normal not to be able to retract his foreskin.
Wow! Naturally if he thought it wouldn't retract, he didn't try to retract and, lo and behold!, - it didn't retract!
Pretty obvious when you think about it, eh?
Perhaps I had better clarify - it's an education problem, and most of the cases of non-retractile foreskins are just that, which is the import of the Beaugé study.
> Blanket advice given to him from people that are not qualified or able to accurately diagnos the problem could turn out pretty much useless (at best), or dangerous (at worst).
Truly, you have said it there!
