Can Manual Fully Restore on its Own?

[X-Taper]

I'm wondering about this because most of the galleries have people using the manual tugging methods in conjunction with other types of restoring devices.

I'm just wondering if manual can restore by its own because I don't have access to any restoring devices nor would they be convenient.

Also, how often should I do manual? I've heard different things (Twice a day, once a day, every other day, etc.)

Right now I'm doing a good 20-25 minutes of stretching each night, should that be enough to maximize progress? Or should I do more to make the growth faster?

I have both the TLC-X and the DTR, but I really don't use them much - maybe a few hours a week. I am almost exclusively restoring by manual tugging. I manually tug throughout the day whenever I have privacy and I am not using my hands for anything else. :D

I started at somewhere between a CI-2 and a CI-3. After 2 months I was getting spontaneous rollover. :D After 3 months I can roll my skin over my corona when erect without pulling my scrotum skin onto my shaft. :D :D

I find manual tugging more convenient than wearing a device. But, as I grow more skin, I find that the devices are more comfortable to wear. If I hit a plateau, I may start wearing the devices more. But, right now I am happy with just manual tugging.

The answer to your question has to be a resounding YES. I have used only my fingers for abour four years and only sporadically. I would tug as often as possible and sometimes weeks passed without conscious effort. After about two years of this, I was able to tug the skin over the corona and by wearing tight briefs was able to wear it that way most of the day. Maybe another year and I noticed the inner skin had grown and that inspired me to continue the restoration in earnest. So after about four years of on and off tugging my glans is close to being completely covered when at my most retracted flacid state. At this point, I'm not sure if I'll continue for overhang. The feelings in my crotch are very comfortable at this stage.

Yes, I know a very dear, not so young, gentleman who took about 7 years restoring manually. I think it's a great way to restore your foreskin. It took him that long because of his age.

Now get started, X.

I am exactly with Tally. Same deal. I'm not done yet, but I think your answer is yes. Manual is excellent. Once I started manual I got spontaneous rollover as well. During the day I get it now to the point where my glans is covered naturally by my own skin most of the day, which is maintaining the glans sensitivity.

As I said in another post, make sure you do the squeeze as well as the stretch. Don't just stretch your skin. I believe squeezing is very crucial to the mitosis stimulus. I believe this to be because squeezing is the opposite of expansion, and it thins the basal layer, known to be a crucial necessity for stimulating new skin. Squeezing creates the impulse for expansion, stretching creates the cellular space for new cells. This, in a nutshell, is the genius of manual methods.

If you can't do devices, do manual. In its case, less is more.

Is this you TWG tugging your husband's big cock? [For those who don't know, TWG is a special lady who manually tugs her husband's penis, hence the joke]

i want to know this as wel

anyone have more ideas?

[matty200]

I have done lots of manual tugging this one in particular the squeeze stretch i found out that using a bit of toilet paper helps just wrap it round your index finger and do the squeeze stretch.

[jeff71913]

I started restoring in earnest in Feburary of 2008. I was cut rather tightly. I now have permanent coverage of 3/4 of the glans when flaccid. I do use a PUD once in a while and I also have another little rig that I made myself. I just prefer manual. Especially in the summer heat when I sweat a lot. I have some rather lofty goals, therefore, I think it will take me about 5 years. I could surely speed that up if I used a device while I was not doing manual.

I have used the method that I discribed here
.
http://foreskin-restoration.net/forum/showthread.php?t=2050[/url]

It is a variation of manual tugging. I have tried a number of methods over extended periods of time. This method gave me far faster results than anything else that I have tried. So YES in my opinion MT by it self will get the job done. And if done correctly it may be more effective than other methods.
For the past few months I have been super busy trying to jump start my business in this slow economy and have not had much time for tugging or tracking progress but as soon as my life calms just a bit I will get back to tugging daily and keeping a progress log of gains with this method.

..good post\\

keep updating

When you restore using manual tugging, does the tip of the skin pucker? Manual tugging seems as if it would help tremendously. :D

[z726]

The tip will pucker if you grow enough shaft skin to extend past the glans using any method. Whether it's manual or not doesn't make a difference.

I have seen some change just from manual. I thought i wasn't noticing any, but the closer I look the more I see. I know that the devices are great, but for some reason manual is just so simple. Laying in bed watching a movie, just whip it out and tug away. I also have noticed that I get more "umph" out of the tug. Within one month I've seen some change, but I was cut loose, (CI-3.5ish) I think it's rather interesting. It's harder to see progress at this point, but I think it's important to keep track. The other benefit is being able to target tension. I have a full on frenulum whereas the devices put pressure on the inner skin, when I am focused on outer skin. It's rather interesting.

[ReGrowthFanatic00]

I tried manual tugging for about 10 minutes today and I noticed how loose my shaft skin was.

[C_A_L]

Some men have restored with just manual and retaining when not tugging. I don't have the patience to just sit there pulling skin for several minutes.

[ctrclckws]

I don't have the privacy.

I don't mind my wife knowing or being in the room, if I were to manually tug, but she wouldn't give me the peace and quiet for a ten minute session to myself.

"That Women Guest", TWG, a poster who has gone quiet due to other family issues, used to help her hubby. Wish that were me!

I found this (http://pages.suddenlink.net/manual_methods/) link. This individual claims to have restored by using manual tugging. He's got photographs and techniques, as well.

That's one of the sites I referred to for manual tugging methods. I'm just going to use manual tugging until I get the tugger.

I used my version of manual for the last year of my process, and it worked well for me. The only thing to remember is that temporary stretch from using the manual method can be bit longer than the usual definition of "temporary".

In other words, it took a week or so for temporary stretch to slowly creep back. That's not to say that I lost the actual gains. I didn't, manual was a real help from what I can tell, but the gains were average, not dramatic.

Not that that's bad thing.

[matty200]

l have used that website quite a few times and found it very useful and interesting l enjoy doing the manual sessions.

On a lighter side, the subconscious of this post is funny. Just a bunch of guys talkin about jackin off. Makes me chuckle a bit, the indirectness of it. ("I don't have privacy...not that I couldn't do in front of her...she just won't leave me alone...it's so easy, just wip it out...)

Manual has the flavor or jackin. That's why it's pleasant, easy. I mean there's some work, don't get me wrong, but we aren't driving toward the orgasm. I wonder how many guys who manual have to finish it by orgasm. I don't, personally, but I wonder if others do.

Manual methods are I think far more naturally aligned with the anatomy of our penis. Subconsciously, our genitals don't want something attached to it. Some people pierce and all that, but in terms of an irritant, something that pulls on it, is a sign of tribal culture, groups that don't understand the subconscious aspects to sexuality and their genitals. Then again, these cultures I think tap into this aspect far better than western culture does. They attach odd things to their genitals, some even to lengthen their penis to obnoxious extents, even to the point of dysfunctionality.

The whole idea of something attached to our penis as some sort of irritant toward growth is a loaded aspect to psychology. Psychology of the penis.

It wants to be free. It responds to periodic stimulus. But it needs to be free most of the time, and growth needs to occur beneath the threshold of awarenenss. This is why the body must adapt to whatever stimulus, or tugging force, it is given.

Sometimes I'm tempted to, but I don't. I liked what you mentioned in the last paragraph.

[restore4sure]

I finally remembered something interesting about manual restoration. I remember years ago when I first started reading about restoration there was information about some Jews during WWII who would restore to prevent being identified by the Nazi soldiers.

For some reason, I don't think they had the devices we have these days (note sarcasm) so they were left with
1) Prude surgical attempts
2) Manual restoration forms.

I think that it is totally possible to restore manually. I agree also with the previous posters who said that the manual mode is more in align with what is natural for the penis.

Nice post. Appreciate the thoughts.
