>>>Not knowing where you live makes it somewhat difficult to advise. It would depend partially upon what's specifically available to you. Your local pharmacy would likely have a small selection...from KY to the house brand. Perhaps the most innocuous lubricant would be a hand lotion of some kind, such as "Corn Huskers Lotion".
>>>If there is a store available to you which carries 'adult' suupplies you might find lubricants such as "Wet" or "Foreplay", which have a certain cachet. Ask the person at the counter or your pharmacist. The price range can be rather significant, too, so it's rather difficult to recommend a specific lube. Lubricants can be rather expensive. They are another cost which can be chalked up to circumcision.
>>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.
>How abt the inside of a condom then..?? chances are high that my glans will not see the inside of a vagina soon..it will have the condom in the middle..is that bad??
>Brett
My experience with condoms has been that until I climax, there is very little motion of the condom on the glans or the part of the shaft it covers. After that, I remove it quite gingerly, as I am even more sensitive in the immediate aftermath. A condom should be snug on the erection so it won't slip off, hence no rubbing. The contact itself, without rubbing, will be neutral (and for those who do not know - you do not slide a comdom on: it comes rolled so that you can place the center against the tip of the glans and then roll the rest down over the glans and shaft, like a woman putting a rolled up nylon over her foot and leg.)
