>>>It's apparent only in the fabrication of the story.
>PB claims that his foreskin was holding back his erection, so that now he has an extra half-inch (presumably the erectile tissue was forced backwards into his body). But since skin does grow with repeated stresses, which in this case would cause the foreskin to open up like working an augur to widen an aperture, the whole claim seemed dicey to me. His claim of using a ruler to do a before and after brought the whole point home, since the foreskin would have to be closed up like the anteater's snout to 'hold back' the erection, but this would add to the total length, an additional amount lost on retraction, or make measuring to the tip if the glans completely impossible. If on the other hand, the foreskin was thin enough at the tip to allow accurate measurement, it would long ago have opened up from repeated erections - even if he never pulled on the skin in masturbation or any other way. Whoever Posterboy is, he's not a posterboy for knowledge, because he clearly is making this story up out of some (demented?) desire to convince guys that if they just go under the knife they will have bigger erections.


Ivan...I've always been perfectly aware that PB may be someone else...or what have you...we can let our imagination run with this one. But I give him the benefit of the doubt, though he seems to exhibit a singular lack of imagination. Perhaps one person is juggling ALL of these recent characters from hand to hand, post to post?

On the subject of a tight foreskin holding back one's erection...It is entirely possible. In my case my foreskin was stretched tightly over the glans during erection, such that there was absolutely no overhang. Neither did years of erections alter the diameter of the 1/4" (6mm) preputial orifice. Though it's entirely possible that erections stretched the length of my foreskin, it was not enough to notice. As the foreskin is VERY thin and in my case always stretched tight..the presence of a separate glans penis beneath was not apparent to me until a friend made me aware of the fact when I was aged 13. Though I did not measure my penis "before" and "after", there was not an appreciable or noticeable difference in length after my circ. But this is not to say that it couldn't happen with someone else. Perhaps even with our very own A...oh, sorry...PB?
