Thanks again - just worried about it closing up. But dorsal relieving incision seeems to bear risk of scarring and has to be small otherwise looks bad.?? I will try stretching.

>Your girlfriend might well be very interested in getting to know you "there" while you stretch, and there's no reason why sex has to be limited. Millions of men around the world go through their entire lives with tight foreskins with absolutely no trouble. If you involve your girlfriend in the process, she'll appreciate the final result that much more. A dorsal slit might shock her whereas stretching a tight foreskin will be an adventure for you both.
OK Rod. This will probably be tackled in a few days - no point pretending and hiding any more. Just one question: with sex the condom will keep falling off,
and the tightness causes pain - not normal. Cheers.
