Confused about results

[BeefSupreme]

I've been manually restoring about 4 or 5 months now, and all I do is put 2 fingers and a thumb from each hand in a circle just below my circumcision scar and pulling it as far over the glans as I can without pushing the glans down.

I do this about 10-20 minutes before bed and then a minute or two each time I use the bathroom.

I've noticed having a lot more loose skin than before, to the point where I can stretch the skin a lot more and masturbate without lube, something which before only caused pain. However, when I'm flaccid, the loose skin just bunches up behind the glans rather than starting to cover it. What am I doing wrong?

That bunching behind the glans just means that you're getting there. More progress and soon it'll roll over the glans on it's own. Don't get discouraged!

Myself, I am waiting for that point too. It's so exciting!

It takes a lot more skin than you would think. It'll eventually roll over, though. Just keep doing what you're doing.

It might be that you are at a plateau. I think it might be time for you to upgrade to a different method of restoring. Perhaps you should try the o-ring method or medical tape to keep the foreskin forward if you don't plan on using a device at this time. Choose one that you think is right for you.

I'm at that point too. Just keep restoring and it will roll over.

I'm also at that point. Right now, I'm trying to get a mindset at being consistent. I don't restore everyday because of my inconsistency.

Tension is tension. Use enough tension, for long enough and the skin cells will divide. I have seen no evidence that manual is inferior to other methods.

As far as plateaus, I question the concept. My strong suspicion is that it is more an effect of us having trouble maintaining consistency.

I used to have "plateaus" until I realized there was a pattern to them. Since I take 3 months off each year, and since my method requires longer inserts as time skin grows, perhaps I could see a pattern where others cannot. At any rate, the pattern suggested that I might be slacking off slightly on the tension. I fixed that and I have not had a plateau since.

It may seem like you are plateauing, but you really are not. I was stuck at this point for what seemed like forever, and I was getting very frustrated, but then I noticed that my shaft below the glans was widening.

Now, my dick wasn't actually getting wider, it was just the skin loosening up and building up behind the corona. If you look at pictures of intact men, you will notice that normally their shaft and glans are equal in circumference. They do not have mushroom heads like us cut guys do. (See pics)





So as you continue restoring, do not let yourself become frustrated. Instead, gauge your progress with the understanding that, now that your skin has hit the sulcus and formed a little roll, your skin has to continue expanding and loosening so that it fills out and becomes an intact torpedo-shaped dick. Your shaft has to thicken out to the same circumference of your glans before you get consistent rollover.

It takes a while to get the torpedo shape, but on the plus side you are going to start having a fatter dick!

KOT!
