Hey, Genesis: You and I made the same mistake, and possibly for the same reason. At least you are far ahead of where I was at this stage of the game and unlike guys such as AJ, who seem to absolutely LOVE having had a circumcision, you can, by stretching your remaining foreskin, again achieve full coverage, and fairly quickly, too. As it would have been much simpler to discuss your situation via the anonymity of the internet and by so doing discover a more advantageous solution than circumcision, I'm awfully curious to know why that wasn't an option for you. The internet would have been a godsend for me at that stage of my life. Having employed several methods of restoration, I'd be more than happy to answer any questions that you might have on the process, though it seems you are fairly knowledgeable about the subject. Anyway, good luck, and happy stretching.

=>Thanks a lot Jim, I appreciate the heads up. I was never so interested (or shall I say concerned) about my penis until I started researching the differences/problems/feelings other guys felt. This isn't a topic guys chat about over a beer at the local pub or while sipping coffee at a cafe. Although now I have the complication of restoring, it's been a real learning experience and I hope to pass all this knowledge up to the next guy.
>P.S. I can PUBLICLY speak freely about my penis without shame in a society that keeps everything taboo!

>>What's done is done, so restoration should resolve your situation well.
>>The surgery should have eliminated the possibility that paraphimosis will ever occur. What is left is stretchable, and it might be adviseable to start doing that now. Although it is still tender, you could do it. Dr Paul advised a guy to do this a few weeks ago, so I think he'd probably approve in your case also. As you surmise, swelling will be a detriment to retraction, but that will subside with time and patience. One way or another, you will eventually develop patience.
>>Sorry to hear about lack of support. Had we known, we certainly would have guided you in the right direction, but as I said, it's now best to look to the future and move on. Now that you're here, we'll give you the support you need.
