> Well, that document often cited on this forum called Beauge or some such, suggests that fist-grip masturbation is healthier and more akin to sex (though obviously not an exact simulation).

Unfortunately, no one source ever seems to come close to being agreeable on all points, and Beaugé seems no exception. We (I) might for example criticise his thoughts on "expose themselves to considerable risks of paraphimosis", "training is not only mechanical, but also participates in the psychological development of the individual", "It is usual in these cases for the raphe on the underside of the penis not to be in the midline but more or less displaced to one side or even spiral" or "No doubt the regular practice of this activity forms the basis for the avoidance of premature ejaculation".

While I am naturally convinced that my particular "slant" on the topic is maximally correct and "balanced" insofar as it needs to be (but may in fact vary as further insight strikes!), you must obviously take from all sources just what is useful to you in your present situation, and be prepared to reject some.

Absolutely!

Seems where I said "One quite obvious approach is to alternate continuously (in each session) between the more and less successful styles until both are equally effective", I am echoing Beaugé: "Therefore I advise 'prescribe' alternating a few pleasurable manipulations known to be stimulative with the remodelling manipulations".

> Thanks to everyone who responded, and btw its good to have found a site that discusses these kind of problems openly.

Any other sort would be a complete waste of time, wouldn't it?

> Even the specialist who I saw at the hospital basically just said 'nothing wrong there, you just have to stretch it, m'boy' without offering any practical guidelines for how to do this.

But isn't it wonderful to hear of a specialist offering advice which if not totally competent, at least implements "fail safe"?

The story we all too often hear is that the specialist pricked up his ears, saw an opportunity for a procedure and profit, and advised circumcision, immediate to ensure that no further rational consideration might accidentally occur.
