Inner Skin / Outer Skin

[admin]

For intact guys: Inner skin is between the flaccid roll-over point of the skin tube and the corona. Outer skin is all the shaft skin between the flaccid roll-over point and the base of the penis. Inner is actually mucosal with no follicles, like the inside of the lips.

For cut guys: Inner is any surviving skin between the scar and the corona. Outer is the surviving shaft skin between the scar and the base (except in very rare circumstances of non-traditional amputations).

While using restoring techniques: Inner-facing skin is between the roll-over point induced by the tugging method and the corona. Outer-facing skin is between the induced roll-over point and the base. Note the scar can be inner-facing, at the roll-over point, or outer-facing.

After restoring: Inner-facing skin is between the flaccid roll-over point and the corona. Outer-facing skin is between the flaccid roll-over point and the base. Note the scar can be inner-facing, at the roll-over point, or outer-facing. Restorers are not unanimous about which of these three is most desirable.

For reference, from page: http://www.foreskin.org/3zones-c.htm the zones of an intact man's skin tube are illustrated there, delineated with a non-toxic marker.

This image shows that the intact original inner foreskin can be sufficient to force-cover most of the shaft. The green marking was at the flaccid roll-over point.

Great thread. Wouldn't the 2nd--at the roll-over point--be the most desirable? My thinking is that the inner-foreskin remnant should form the maximum surface area of inner-facing tissue.

I agree with you and that is how I am doing it.

However, some prefer to hide the scar.

Others feel that the outer skin grows quicker and wish to get done quicker.

Others have so much of either the outer of inner, relative to the other, that they feel it better to work with what they have.

And, based on the reporst of some who have let their outer turn inside, the skin seems to become very like, perhaps indistinguishable, from the inner skin, so there may not be a down side.

One of the many uncertainties in this business.

Most desirable is to be intact. :)

I've found that doesn't matter much because re-purposed outer skin that you force to face in will get soft and smooth like inner skin.

My main problem with choosing the scar as a roll-over point is that the muscle fibers there are damaged and may be less responsive for puckering up. Also, the scar may be jagged, asymmetrical, bulgy, or simply not lined up to the job, plus the scar tissue may not be very sensitive.

I was just about to post on this matter.
After three years of restoring I have come a long way, but after measuring the length of my mucosal tissue I find it is still the same lenght when stretched as when I started restoring. It is right at 1 1/8" on the top and a little more on the ventral side. At this point I want to focus primarily on the mucosal tissue. Another reason that I need more mucosal tissue is that eventually I want a frenulum reconstructed and I don't want it to be too short.

I wonder if outer skin, faced in, over a long period of time, converts to mucosal. Wouldn't that be a gift!

Purely by chance, my scar has ended up on the inside of my restoration. It has faded to the point that it is only really distinguishable by the raised, fibrous scar tissue which I guess will never go away. Being on the inside and close to the "pucker point" of my restored skin tube, I believe that this annular ring of scar tissue actually helps to keep my flacid coverage in place and gives some shape and support for the pucker. The downside (there is always a downside) is that it is bulky.
