Requesting help

[Seguragr]

I apologize if this has been posted on here before, I am in a really bad place this morning and I can't seem to find what I am looking for.

Does anybody know of a website or anywhere on here where i can find pictures that compare a restored foreskin to a naturally intact foreskin?

I know that I have run across such images on the web in the past, but now I can't find any. I really need to find these. My partner and I had a discussion last night about the whole restoration thing and it has left me feeling quite depressed and hopeless. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

Well, this site has many restored photos. So perhaps all you need to do is find some intact photos, yes? Here are a few sites:

http://www.circumstitions.com/Gallery.html

http://home.prepuce.com/galleries/index.php

http://www.foreskin.org/page2.htm

Then you will have to compare them yourself.

We could perhaps help you more effectively if you told us why you are trying to compare. What specifically do you want to know?

Essentially, I am trying to demonstrate that a restored foreskin can be so visually similar to a natural intact foreskin that most people would not be able to tell the difference. My partner seems to be of the opinion that the restored foreskin will just end up being a long, loose tube of skin that is not aesthetically pleasing.

I have tried to explain that appearance is largely a function of the level of restoration, the amount of time that has passed since the tugging stopped, and other factors (including environmental factors such as temperature). Unfortunately, my partner has no interest in listening to my opinions even though I have much more knowledge on the subject than he does.

I am trying to either find, or create some comparisons between restored and intact foreskins. I want to show them to him and have him see for himself if he can tell, without being told anything about the pictures, if he can spot the restored foreskins.

I guess the reason I am asking for help is because I am having trouble finding pictures of restored foreskins that are long enough that their owners consider the process complete. I want to show the end results. The problem with looking on here is that it is hard to find people whose restoration is not still in progress. I would have no problem doing the work of finding the images myself, if I only knew who to be looking at. Perhaps some of the more active members of the forum can point me to specific progress galleries.

Ah, thanks that helps a lot.

It is difficult to find pictures of fully restored foreskins that have reached their full potential in terms of function and appearance. There are several reasons for this, the biggest being that since it takes over a year after finishing restoration for the foreskin to completely reach its final form, many have left sites like this and moved on with their lives.

But reports from the few that remain active are that the foreskin will look so much like an original equipment foreskin that it will fool a doctor. If it will help I can try and find some older list serve posts that report this.

You can search the archives here and find that as well. And if you look around on the internet, you may find some blogs by guys who restored and took more pictures well after finishing.

But here is a question for you to ponder. Why do you need to do this? Will a couple pictures sway him? His worry is common, and yet evidence is that nobody ends up with a loose baggy skin tube. This can be seen even with men early in their progress. I can tell you that for me, the foreskin is not only tight against my glans, but after a cold morning bike ride, I have such a tight opening that I have to bear down to pass urine through it.

But why do you need to convince your partner? Why try and convince someone who "...has no interest in listening..."?

If you feel compelled to try and keep a dialog going over this issue, I recommend using your time differently. Instead of spending time searching for pictures, get the book Crucial Conversations, and spend you time reading that. That will do more for achieving your goal that a hundred pictures, I think.

Thank you for your reply. I certainly appreciate the effort you have put in. I would be very grateful if you could help me find the additional information you wrote of.

I understand what you mean about not wasting my time, and I will certainly consider the book once I have an income again, but for now. Am looking for pictures for two reasons: 1) as I said, I would like him to see for himself that he cannot tell the difference, and, 2) he asked me to find pictures so he can see for himself what I have been telling him. If he hadn't asked I wouldn't waste the time at all.

I also suppose I may have been a little harsh in saying that he has no interest in listening, it's more like he'll listen all I want but his mind is unalterably closed.

OK, here are a few posts for the past:

...There is nothing to worry about at al. You are going to end up with a foreskin so good only your urologist will know for sure!...

....Oh, and another thing... the issue of overhang and taper at the end keeps coming up with guys worried that their skin opening is going to be too wide and look all weird and ugly etc. In order for your opening to grow new lateral skin you will have to stretch the opening LATERALLY with the same amount of tension, for the same amount of time, as you are now doing lengthwise. That's just the way new skin grows. You are not going to be growing lateral skin to form a big gaping hole by tugging lengthwise the way we do. Just watch and wait and you will see that you had nothing
to fear or worry about. You are not going to add any new lateral skin stretching the way we do. It's just not going to happen. It can't...

and

...Firstly I have flaccid overhang and erect coverage--finished 2 years
ago-and it did not shrink at all-but it continues to thin and tighten.
I am covered all the time, and as I get erect, the skin follows the
erection-it stays covering the glans until it is retracted....

and

...My restored foreskin hugs my penis very tightly. In fact, if I have
to urinate in a cold room, it hugs so tightly that it can be even difficult
to retract....

and

...It wasn't until the 8th month of my year of enforced rest, that my new
foreskin started gripping in a way that was completely indistinguishable
from that of an intact man...

and

...My restored foreskin always rolls over by itself when I completely
loose an erection. Now that I'm restored, it is very common for me
to have a good orgasm, complete ejaculation, and for my erection to
subside with complete spontaneous rollover...

Answer: you will have all the qualities you mentioned al
long as you are persistent and grow enough skin.

Hope those help. But if his "...mind is unalterably closed..." you may not have much success.

You can probablly get the book at the library.

Thank you for those postings. Every bit of information I get helps.

I totally forgot about libraries. In this technological world In which we live I tend to forget that there are still non-technological resources available. I usually look on iBooks and if it isn't there I figure I wasn't meant to read it yet.

If his mind is truly unalterably closed, I will cross that bridge when I get there. For now, I want to respect him and his opinions. I would like his support, rather than to decide to go about this despite him. Things like that can end relationships and I have no desire for that outcome.

Hello ,
For a quick look at someone who is not even calling himself restored, check the albums of Regrow61. Even his own picture for avatar shows it better than a thousand words.
Since circumcision removed the ridged band, restorers need to grow sufficient skin to go beyond the glans, allowing the normal tightening. The open tube-like appearance is an intermediate stage in the restoration, before growing the appropriate amount of skin. Some of the surgically-restored foreskins may also look like an open tube, when scrotal skin was grafted and surgical tightening had not been performed. For that reason, non surgical restoration, being a very slow process, allows for better cosmetic result since the tension can be applied to specific areas.
Best regards,
Alfred.
