When the fundamental anatomy involved in being a man is inhibited,
this is bound to have consequences. The problems would combine with
and exaggerate any other disturbances. At the very least, these conditions
could never support and would always undermine fulfillment and sexual
confirmation as a man.
The ability to share and satisfy himself and others is restricted.
His intimacy with his own body reflects in any and every close relationship.
When the magic of a man is unconsciously in a state of bondage, who
can say exactly where this may lead his sexual energy?
Note
Though a little melodramatic, the only reported case history I have
found comes from Bryk, an anthropologist. He writes "the whole schizoid
inferiority complex of a young man, could be traced to his inability
to manually uncover his glans." The young man "suffered from a congenital
phimosis, which he unfortunately recognised too late,"15 .
CONCLUSION
It appears that in today's European culture, there are a percentage
of men who experience an initiation ritual, which is definitely more
ignorant and sometimes more bizarre than any of the ancient rituals
which Stone Age man practised.
Among all the problems which people have, this must be one of the
most ignored and the easiest to solve. These genital conditions must
be very simply checked and prevented in childhood.

SYMPTOMS
The problem with presenting any individual experience, is that they
are relative to an individuals upbringing, character etc.
Anatomical (erect)
One example which seems significant as evidence of an unconscious
anatomical disturbance : When half waking up with a full erection,
my reaction was to hold this firmly to suppress it. As the erection
subsided, I'd return to sleep. I had been consciously aware of this
process approximately once a month since the age of eleven.
The lack of wet dreams.
Behavioural
One example is particularly clear. When a woman touched my phallus
I lost my erection. There was one exception to this where she used
to pull the foreskin forward (i.e, away from the problem area). I
would argue that regardless of the love and trust in a relationship,
with such a disposition, there is bound to be a degree of anxiety
about one's phallus being held, (or this would develop with experience).
The problems encountered by love making is an area which is difficult
to summarise. It seems generally true, for all men with these conditions,
that penetration is impossible without an amount of lubrication. Personally
speaking, it's not that the necessary foreplay was unpleasant, but
I would argue that making love does not come as naturally as it otherwise
would.
One thing is clear, and it must be common to all men with these conditions,
using a condom while holding the foreskin forward, requires considerable
practice.
