As an answer to: Re: lubricant and glans sensitivity.. written by Ivan at 21 May 2003 17:41:16:
>Rood, it sounds like you misinterpreted a bit of the message. He is just beginning to get enough retraction to touch his glans. It's not a circ problem. Generally my recommendation would be not to do something that hurts so much. Before much time has passed exposure to water and air (while retracting) will diminish the extreme sensitivity he describes. The only thing that should rub the glans is the inside of a vagina, and then only when it is very wet. Perhaps a wet vulva as well. Touching without rubbing will be tolerable soon enough, and as you note is a lot easier when the glans is wet. Even water will ease touching sensitivity, so long as there is no rubbing.
Well, of course you are correct, Ivan. A wet partner is the ideal construct.
I rather suspect, however, that Brett means to first test the sensitivity of his glans with the touch of a finger or two. Wouldn't you?The bit about circumcision was simply my reflection upon the fact that artificial lubrication as a viable product for sale is largely dependent upon the needs of circumcised men. Were it not for them, there would be a very limited demand for 'Astroglide', 'Wet', and their like. What would be available would undoubtedly be inexpensive, too.
