As an answer to: Re: Leave it alone... written by michael at 19 Dec 2002 22:52:24:
Dear Michael: If it is the Gilgal society to which you have been referred...you must realize that they are a group of men completely preoccupied by circumcision. Genital mutilation is for them an erotic experience, done for its own sake, and not always only once, either. The choice is not "confusing" at all...if you have an obsession with circumcision, take their route. If your interest is in maximizing your sexual potential...forget them and use your common sense.
>>>dear guys,
>>>I have had a fissure on my foreskin now fer about a week&a half,if not,more.
>>>I haven't even begun stretching,and I don't do anything except retract once in a while,to make sure I'm clean.Usually,the tiny tears go away by now.Is here anything you can suggest I do to help eliminate this one?
>>>I'd like to be able to get to the next step soon(stretching),but can't (of course) unti this prob. is dealt with.Thanks.
>>You could try leaving it alone for a while and see where that gets you. Hopefully it heal up well enough so that you can start over.
>>Here's a link> that details some of the downsides of what you propose to do, that sounds like it could be relevant to your sitiuation.
>>All the best.
>the information you propose and espouse flies directly in the face of what the "other" guy thinks.
>This is confusing to say the least.
>I guess I'm left with only two opposing views,and no way to garner proof,because of the ambiguous nature of the problem.I figure both sides of the equation are true,and that makes my solution into a tricky one.Doesn't it?
