My story (long)

Written by Tony at 01 Dec 2002 11:25:04:

I post my story of my phimosis problem. I discovered I
had it on March 2002, altought I always had the feeling that my
penis was somewhat different from the one of the other guys.
I decided I was going to talk parents and have a circumcision.
But being scared and shy to talk it with a doctor I made a
quick search on the internet for some alternative ways to my
problem. I've come up with lot of porn and penis enlargment
sites, needless to say, none of them useful at all.

Lastly, I've come up with this forum and started to read it with
interest. I learned about stretching and about reasons why
to not get circumcized. I was not sure that the stretching
technique was going to work because there is lot of crap you
read on the internet and you can't be never sure of anything.
Anyway, I decided to give it a try and to switch to circumcision if
stretching would have failed.

I started manual stretching both forcing foreskin retraction and
enlarging with fingers (there was not much to retract as the 'hole'
was very very small). Later I got a betametasone cream but I never
used it because was not pratical for me.

First results come on the second week when I was able to 'see'
most of the head of my glans. Wow! I was happy it was there, as
I wasn't sure I even had a glans! eh eh. I continued to stretch
and enlarging as often as I could and at the end of the month I was
able to retract while soft. Inside foreskin was very
sticky and, strangely enough, I haven't found any smegma that was
supposed to be there. I didn't retract it while hard because was
scared of my glans getting chocked, so decided to wait
for the foresking to get loosen.

The worst part come months later when results were taking slow.
I was about to give up and reconsider circumcision. It was very useful
to keep in touch with the forum both reading and posting questions
so I keept motivated. Time passed and altought I've slowed down with
strecthing, full retraction come two months later. It was still tight
but I could manage it easily. What I was not able to solve easily
was the sensitivity of the glans. Being covered for one life period of
time it was hyper-sensitive. It could not be touched and even a
light breeze of air caused pain. It was the main obstacle to stretching.
I started with exposing it to air more often, and when possible to
sunlight. This doesn't helped much but let me made the next step
which was keeping head uncovered while sleeping. At first was very
uncomfortable but soon later I got used to.

Now many months are passed from my first stretch and I consider myself
almost "cured". I still keep on stretching and exposing as often as
possible because I want foreskin completely "mobile". I also want my
frenulum get stretched too as it's a bit short.

Having a sliding foreskin changed my everyday habits.
I now do penis hygiene while in the shower in the morning, and pee
in a different manner (the curious thing is that I can no more pee
the old way without splashing all the room). My penis now looks more
'normal' and my ballsack hangs more from the body being not pulled
up by the foreskin. I feel now more confident with myself.

Thank you all friends for being on the forum, for all the support
and for not giving up even in worst moments of the forum (flames,
trolls and so on).

I hope this message helps someone believing stretching is possible.
