I have posted in this section as the other one does not allow replies, and i'd like peeps feedback as i go along.

No pics as yet as i'm not fully comfortable about posting them on line..Some of this post i have already posted in the welcome section, so apologies to people who start to read it twice.

If i'm in the wrong section guys please feel free to move it, just as said would like other peoples input as i go along, instead of making new threads for any questions i have.

Thanks all

Started Monday 23 august 2010.

This is something i have been embarrassed about and quite hurt for many years, I suffer with anxiety and panic attacks and as the doctors never gave me a reason for this, the past few weeks i have been pondering on the idea that it may be down to me be circumsized as a child, due to a severe infection..It has bugged me for many years more so when i started secondary school and saw the other lads dicks in the changing rooms..Even to this day if i go swimming i always cover myself up due to embarrassment. The more i thought about the way my life has stemed out the more i pass blame onto this and a few related incidents as a child relating back to my penis...Like being picked on ect..But then who knows...I'm going to be giving this foreskin restoration my full attention, as now at the age of 34 and from seeing it's possible i have nothing to lose..I have never discussed this with anyone and have never even been able to say the words (Foreskin) or (circumcision) without some feeling of guilt or that it was my fault...It's really hard to explain..But from researching the net it has made me a little more open with the whole thing...Hardest part i have found is telling or talking to my partner of 5 years...When i told her, her first reaction was "Why" i like you the way you are, but to me i don't like the way i am, so this was a bit of a downer to start with...We have spoke a little more about it and laughed..... but it's a long road to go so here's to the future.

So onto a little bit of experimenting for the next few weeks.

Started off with the idea of using an O ring to keep the skin in place over night..The following day after some research i found a few ideas and opted for pulling the foreskin over a bottle teat and holding it in place with surgical tape.

26/08/2010

Woke up today to see my glands are changing colour and look a lot smother and moist, compared to the old dry wrinkled look..Even had sex last night which felt better already...Later on in the day i went with the tugger device home made using an old film cartridge...just need to get a comfortable tension and should be set to go.


27/08/2010

Bad night last night after trying the film canister and elastic method, think i was a little too enthusiastic and stretched to much..Was funny being in tesco when the whole device fell off and i had to feed it through the bottom of my jeans...Tried the O ring last night but woke to find it very uncomfortable so removed it...Woke this morning with a slight dark red line on the penis skin and a little sore...Just put the canister back on 11.00 am and learnt less is more...will see how i go through the day with it.Penis on the other hand looks a little sad and sorry for itself lol but least he got a rub last night :eek:...Think i need to open up more to her how i feel but it's always been a little awkward talking to her..Maybe it's at times i fell have let her down by being circumsized..:( But odds on it does not bother her in the slightest and it's my own anxieties.


28/08/2010

Not much to report today apart from sore skin, so easing up for a few days..Have wore the O ring all day whilst fishing with no problems.


31/08/2010

Well been taking it easy over the weekend just wearing the O ring due to me little accident....Noticed a bit of difference in sensitivity on my glands and sex is already much better than it was...Having a few problems with my missis as she does not seem to keen on the idea....And says well it's your body crap....What i really want is for her to be understanding and show a little more support...It was the first time i showed her my cock with the O ring on last night and she did not look to amused so was a little bit of a knock back for myself...She is under the impression that it will be dirty, but tried to tell her that's purely down to one persons hygiene levels....I'm not convinced this is something she is happy for me to do, but it's something i want to give 100 %..On a plus side i have noticed the scar line to be flattening out already and a couple of the scar dimples/ marks not so raised...Going to give the home made canister tugging a go again this week with not so much enthusiasm as before lol

Intact, I don't have the authority to move a thread, but this is the kind of thing that should really be in the Blogs section of the site.

Blogs are basically the same as the rest of the forum, people can reply to your blog unless you specifically request a moderator to lock the thread to others posting.


In regards to your wife/girlfriend, give it time. As you grow it will start to change how she feels when having sex. The gliding action is crucial to her perceptions of the change. It sounds like at least for now, the changes are largely for your own benefit, but the others will follow. As long as she knows this is important to you.

Thanks for the reply gtabula

I was not aware people could reply to a blog :( will pm admin or a mod now and see if they could kindly move it.

Yeah i know she may need some time to adjust to things (if it works lol) just could have done with a little more support, but then due to the way i feel about it all i kinda of started doing it without talking to her prior, so i'm thinking she may be a tad annoyed with me lol

Went with the canister and some manual tugging today, mixed with cross tape and the O ring....Tugging became a little painful on the cut from last week so rested up on it...Noticed my glands are getting a shine, but when resting it seems to look like the skin is flaking off. Took some pics for progress but just logging them for now as don't feel comfortable about showing my cock on the net. Spent the day with just O ring, noticed it takes a while (Longer than last week) for the skin to unfold off my glands when removed..Can also feel the cool air on it as compared to nothing before...Did some manual tugging as well today...just waiting on my accident cut to fully heal, before i go back to the canister.


01/10/2010

Just wore O ring for most of today as still sore, glands got a nice moist look and a shine.....Managed to pop some manual tugging in during the evening and alls good...Had sex in the night and the feeling is already much better...Still feel uneasy around my missis, but this is slowly subsiding.

02/09/2010

Tried the cannister with packer last night after some tugging with canister...Managed to wear cannister from 6 pm to the early hours of the morning, when the tape gave up lol.. Glands seem more sensitive compared to what they where last week.


03/09/2010

Continued with canister and packing today, found it a little uncomfortable so adjusted the amount of cotton wool inside..Noticed the skin is starting to fold when i removed it last night..Only problem is my gland looks dry compared to wearing the O ring..Going to give it another shot tommorow.


08/09/2010

Got some nice folds developing onto the the glands, and the glands are deff more sensitive by keeping it covered as much as possible..Still switching from the canister being pulled with strap, to packing a canister...I'm happy with this and is getting more comfortable the more i persevere with it all...I have taken pics but still not happy about posting them on here...Maybe in time :)

Thanks to this forum it has given me something to look forward to :)

7 months in and last few nights after a shower, the skin has stayed nice and snug over the glans, lasts for a good 20 minutes or so until if fucks off back the wrong way lol.


So pleased i started this journey, all thanks to this site and Ron :)

This is an exciting stage to finally get to being. Once it rolls over and stays there, it can be a long haul to flaccid coverage. Enjoy the excitement.

I am micrometering towards complete flaccid coverage. I am not measuring CIs much at this point, because I am still stuck at ci5, so when I get reliable flaccid coverage is the next time when I will be quite glad. I have been at this off and on since October 2006. I only really got to do this with any kind of regularity around May or April of 2007, so it took some time until I could get things moving. I had some intriguing things happen along the way that kept me around ci5 to reverting to ci4 a few times. That was quite frustrating, but now that things are definite ci5 territory I am glad that at least the back and forth is done.

If it is very cold (like 20 degrees Fahrenheit, -5 or -7 Celsius) then the thing stays covered when flacid. Fortunately this year the temperatures are not likely to hit there for another six months or so, so lots of time (I hope) to reach ci6. I hope this happens this year, but who knows. I am probably going to end up buying a TLC-X with some of my tax return (if I am oh so lucky, with the US government these days who knows), so that I can keep restoring. If not, it'll just be the longest length packer and I'll keep restoring with my existing ones.

Keep on Tugging.

Yeah pretty impressed considering i have not been giving it 100% due to commitments, good to see it's getting there thou :)

Good to hear of your progress to be honest i have not been measuring FEC as i have never seen the need.

Thanks for your reply.

Thanks for the encouragement :) Sometimes it can get kind of frustrating waiting for the eventual (as in just hurry up and get there darn it) flaccid coverage, but it is a lesson in patience.

I hope that you can increase your restoration time. Going 18 hours+ per day with restoration is quite nice to be able to do. I can tell though when the skin just wants to rest because it will begin to get all tense feeling. When it wants a break, one knows :) Keep on tugging.

I have my days where i'm like i can't be bothered, so tend to have a few days off then back at it.

One thing that did worry me last night is a big piece of dead skin peeled off, after reading it's a good sign lol. Another thing i have noticed is the underside of the shaft skin is a lot lighter than the rest. Maybe it's from new skin growth, but it's a good 2" long and i know full well i have not grown that much. it may be from where i have kept the skin over my glans 24/7 when not tugging.

You mean a piece of skin two inches long peeled off your penis?!
This sounds somewhat alarming to me. Just make sure that you're not cutting off the circulation.

No it was not that long lol, it was about 10 mill, it has been peeling in drips and draps, but from what i have read, this is a good sign.

Also the part that was peeling is not in any of the devices i wear.

The only difference i have seen in colour is the underside is slightly lighter, like when and intact male retracts if you get me.

Quick pic, managed to stay like this for 40 min or so, not so bad for 9 months.

[jeff71913]

Almost looks to me like you are intact! I would say that's extraordinary progress. You've done very well. No doubt you will easily achieve your goals.

[Inactive]

Thanks Jeff well worth all the effort, laying off it for a few days now as my skin seems to have dried out a fair bit. :(

[Inactive]

Hi chaps last few days i had noticed my skin had gone a little leathery, (Please see pics) so the past Two days i have laid of tugging and retaining.

My problem is if i lay off on the retaining i'm afraid i will start back on the old road of having dry numb glands.

Do you think it will be ok to continue to retain, or should i just hang free for a few more days untill it settles down, and then start retaining again. I have had this before but not to this extent, and part of me thinks it's from using shea butter in between.

Many thanks

Just a note for myself.

Started Mats RT 2 days ago and can't believe how comfortable it is to wear.
