Please forgive me if this is explicit.

First off I was circumsized at birth.
I was never taught how to masturbate. I never watched videos or anything.
I started when I was 13 (I am 23 now). I didn't quite get the concept of using the foreskin to help. All I knew was, the head is the sensitive area. So I would just stimulate the head, using saliva. I never used foreskin at all. A lot of times the saliva would dry, and I would keep going. It was a lot like using sandpaper (close to it haha).
I had sex when I was 16. Things I noticed. If I wouldnt have had my eyes open I wouldn't have known it was in. For the first 2-3 seconds of oral sex I feel it, and it feels great. Then after that, I feel nothing at all. Seriously. I have had sex for over 6 hours at a time. I seriously feel nothing. Its about equivilent to having sex with a pond, and hoping to achieve results. Or a gentle breeze on your arms on a nice summer day.

I tried to look up if anyone had ever had these problems on the internet before, and the closest thing I could find was something called Jelquing.
Jelquing is a method used to enlarge your penis.
I do the exact same thing almost (except I was trying to masturbate. I was 13 when I learned how and thats all I was trying to do) except I go about 100 mph. Literally (as mentioned, when the saliva drys or I completely run out it becomes a sandpaper type problem lol.

I have had sex a few times with different partners, and it is the same result.

Now that I am 23, I havent had a girlfriend in 7 years. I figured them out. I dont blame them, but they feel like there is just something missing from the relationship, you know what I mean? I never finish.

Anyway, I did a 30 minute test that a doctor on the internet told me to do.
I used a cotton swab and touched different areas of my penis lightly. Turns out, I cant feel the right side of the head at all! Seriously, at all. I would say there is about 95% loss of feeling in it. The left side is a little better. And since I am right handed, I never touch the left side. When I did this test I was so amazed at how sensitive it was. Apparently it is still not as sensitive as it should be.

Things I have tried and noticed:
•The first time I ever masturbated, I noticed the next day the foreskin was soooo swollen. It was puffed up ATLEAST 1 full inch all the way around the head. Is that normal for everyone?
•I went 6 solid months and 3 days without masturbating. All I really noticed is my penis shrunk in girth. It didn't make much of a difference at all.
• If you have ever had an erection, and you rub the head with your fingers, you will notice your entire penis tenses up. It is like an involuntary reaction, because the head is so sensitve. Well, can you imagine how much my penis tenses up, using the method I use? I'll tell you how much. I have broken veins in my penis, from over excursion. Massive blue/black veins that left a permanent mark and are permanently showing now. They have been there for a few years. I know it is from over excursion. Touching the head, makes your shaft muscles tense up.

That is another thing I am worried about. The method that I use to masturbate increases the size of my penis. As mentioned when I stopped for about 6 months, it shrunk about 3/4 of an inch in girth. I was wondering if my muscles inside the penis, have gotten so large that they will not allow for anyhting to flow through?

I'm hoping some restoration techniques can help this problem out.
I haven't read very much, but I have seen some pictures of T-Tape. Lol seriously guys, I am unemployeed and cant afford some fancy rig setup.
I read dont use regular tape, like duct tape because it hurts, but I used to skateboard. Trust me, I have had broken bones, concussions, anything you can imagine. I can totally take the tape.

It is hard for me to go to websites that have instructions, because my computer is in between the kitchen and the living room, in public.

I know this was a long post, and I could have written it better and more in order, but I had a lot to type. If you can help me, my God I would love you forever.

Is there a way I can get started VERY EFFECTIVELY using items around the house?
Also, how long does it take to notice a difference? ]]> Welcome / Orientation Center AlmostArtafact http://www.foreskin-restoration.net/forum/showthread.php?t=11257 <![CDATA[Will my penis be naturally lubed once I'm restored?]]> http://www.foreskin-restoration.net/forum/showthread.php?t=11256&goto=newpost Fri, 18 May 2012 03:10:11 GMT I am a young restorer who's currently a CI-3 and has a lot of left over inner skin, and I am looking to get full coverage within a year or so, since I am going to be very dedicated. One of my concerns is will my penis produce natural lube/moisture once I am restored? I know my glans will become shiny and glossy once again. Is this because of the moisture/wetness? Many restored men said they no longer need lube during sex, and that they use "their own"

More information regarding to this will be nice.

I had been tugging the night before last and I notices it mid day today. (30 hours after removal) It is just over 1 cm in diameter and slightly red. It is right below where the canister would attach to the shaft skin so I don't know if I can attribute the itch to tugging or to a small ingrown hair that I had in the area but has since healed. I have had this problem on my testicles before when I was much younger, I believe it is a relatively benign staph infection. (the one most people mistake for spider bites) However it concerns me that it might be MRSA or something horrible, but that is likely just paranoia. I know for a fact that I don't have an STI.

This has worked fine, but recently, I have gone to a longer plastic pipe, probably 5 inches or so long, and I cannot remove the packing with the short tweezers I now have.

Are there any super long tweezers so I could continue with this satisfactory (for now) tugging routine? ]]> - Retainers / Packing TheRifleman http://www.foreskin-restoration.net/forum/showthread.php?t=11254 I started a motivational blog on Tumblr http://www.foreskin-restoration.net/forum/showthread.php?t=11252&goto=newpost Thu, 17 May 2012 15:52:22 GMT Sometimes we all need a little boost with our restoring.

I am near the end of my restoration (and for all purposes uncircumcised).

Last evening I noticed some redness on the glans of my penis. I did a quick search on the Internet. I couldn't believe the # of teenage males seeking advice on common boards and not health related websites. So many times I read their peers recommending circumcision for this redness because their penis is fine.

I wanted to take time to encourage those who have websites related to factual information on male reproductive organs (not just the foreskin, but, as example, prostate gland health) to continue to put out this information in the hopes it will be found.

I am in my 30th's. It is easier now to think through solid advice, compared to "hear say" for advice.

I hate to see 18 year old guys who weren't cut at birth be circumcised and come to regret it a few years later. ]]> General Restoration Discussion Going Hooded http://www.foreskin-restoration.net/forum/showthread.php?t=11249 Odd looking and behaving surface on glans http://www.foreskin-restoration.net/forum/showthread.php?t=11248&goto=newpost Wed, 16 May 2012 02:58:29 GMT I noticed this today as its really strange at least to me - its' never been like this before again that I've noticed.

Wonder if this is something odd or if its normal for a restoring penis. Its hard to describe but its sort of plastic-y feeling and seems weirdly mobile - its also splitting in a lot of places some are sore, most are not. It also disappears if kept moist by retaining but reappears once and a while. I was tugging during the day after several days of retaining.

Could this just be the keratinized skin that isn't being shed or is the mucosa doing something...odd.

These were taken when I noticed it (during masterbation if that is important somehow) its kinda weirding me out as its really strange

I'm 19 and was circumcised at birth. I still don't know why I was. For pretty much all of my life I've been fine/indifferent to it, even laughed about it when I occasionally came across TV programs with people who were extremely anti-circumcision. I thought they were just overreacting about nothing. After all, I was fine, wasn't I?

In the last year or so I've been exposed to certain things which have brought my attention to this subject more. After some thinking, I came to be of the opinion that it's completely unethical and against human rights to have babies/children circumcised, but I remained okay with myself having been (contradiction? I dunno).

But even more recently, I've sometimes thought about it further, and probed the question, "Am I really okay with it?" Perhaps it's natural to avoid these questions because it addresses something that you subconsciously know simply cannot be undone, and you don't want to open a can of regret you can't do anything about.

And VERY recently, I'm talking just tonight, is the first time in my life where I genuinely have begun to feel upset and uncomfortable with having been circumcised, after reading some stuff relating to it.

So I am still incredibly ignorant about the exact nature of this forum and the related processes (never heard of tugging or anything before) but thought I'd say hello, and express my curiosity. So sorry if I ask stupid questions.

I understand people here are using methods to increase the expanse of their foreskin. Are there people who have been circumcised doing it? Is this possible?
If so, are you effectively just stretching the skin over time or does it properly grow and develop? As in, are you just left with dangly skin or is it really more like a foreskin?
Does it increase your sexual pleasure?

Sorry about the bunch of questions, I don't know if I'm interested in actually doing this myself, considering I'm extremely new to the idea, but it's grabbed my attention anyway. Can anyone be so generously kind as to give me a quick run down on some of the methods people are doing and what sort of results are possible?

I had a really tight cut so I did manual to build some slack to use a device. I am currently using the DTR for dual tension for about four hours during work, then as a tugger for about 3-4 hours when I am at home working at my desk after work. I didn't originally plan to use a tugger that stressed the entire skin tube, including the thicker skin at the base that has scrotal hair present. However, after reading a lot of Ron Low's posts, I feel that it is a good idea to incorporate tugging into my routine, in order to properly stress a good amount of outer skin as well. (he recommends it and I consider him to be an authority on restoration)

This brings me to my question, or rather my concern, I don't want to induce a lot of mitosis on the skin at the base of my shaft. Due to the tight cut i received, I am worried about bringing more hairy skin onto the shaft. Right now, I am getting great inner skin stress with the DTR. Also, the way it applies I can even stretch a little of the outer skin as well. For those of you who have been successful with a strong tugging regimen, what kind of "creep" did you experience from the scrotal hair onto the shaft?

I am tempted to use strictly squeeze and stretch techniques to target my outerskin, thus avoiding the hairy skin, but right now I have a lot of language study to do after work for my new job. I need my hands to practice Kanji for a language proficiency test (writing writing writing!). Anyways, thanks to anyone who takes the time to read this unnecessarily long post.

Statement of Anthony S. Fauci, M.D. Director, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases National Institutes of Health

There is a growing consensus that we can significantly curtail the HIV/AIDS pandemic by implementing scientifically proven HIV prevention strategies, such as voluntary medically supervised adult male circumcision, prevention of mother-to-child transmission and treatment as prevention. With 2.7 million new HIV infections in 2010 alone, however, it is likely that controlling and ultimately ending the HIV/AIDS pandemic will require an effective vaccine as well. This past year, there have been a number of encouraging findings on this front.
