I am going to summarize my story and my current progress, if anyone wants additional information, they can see http://foreskin-restoration.net/foru...ead.php?t=5225 .

I originally looked into restoration when I was in high school but, it was almost like a fad and passed quickly. I completely forgot about it up until 2 years ago.

My son was on his way and my wife and I were researching the idea of circumcision. When I found out everything that the foreskin does and how much sexual functionality is lost due to circumcision, not to mention the proper function of the glans, it made me mad. Then I re-investigated restoring.

However, in the process, I found that I was doing everything out of anger and frustration and not for other reasons. This, in addition to feedback from my priest made me feel that I was being selfish about restoring.

Fast forward to July 2010. My wife actually let me know that she was thinking of me restoring as an option to improve our intimate relationship. Sex has always been dry, even with lubrication and her natural lubrication and she agreed that this might be remedied by restoring the original mucous membrane of the glans that the foreskin provides. Well, that and the fact that you never fully have to withdraw, thus causing evaporation of lubrication.

I manually tugged inconsistently until the end of Sept. 2010. I did see some loosening of the skin but, not much in terms of real progress.

I then ordered the TLC Tugger. I have been restoring anywhere from 8-14 hours a day since. In the first couple of weeks I saw some nice signs of improvement. I later posted that I doubted I would be posting every week because progress would be slow.

However, I am finding that to be opposite. Just yesterday, I noticed that when sitting a certain way in the car, or at work, that when I am extremely flaccid, the foreskin is actually rolling over a little! I wasn't expecting this kind of progress for months! I kept rocking back and forth, allowing it to roll back and forth over the glans. I'll have to get used to the feeling so I don't look like a twitching idiot at work...LOL

It almost felt fluid. I can understand why uncut men might be able to last longer with their partners. The feeling of the foreskin over the glans almost feels like the feeling of a vagina, just drier. So, perhaps sex isn't just about the difference of the feeling inside the woman vs. the feeling of the penis in everyday life. Perhaps for someone who is uncut, it ends up being a similar feeling to what they are already used to so, they can last longer and focus on positioning and their partner's pleasure, rather than just their own. I don't know if there is any merit to this but, just a thought.

I also did some tugging while walking over the weekend, which definitely adds more tension when tugging. However, I do find that because your calves expand when working out, the tugging straps dug into my leg, even with the ace bandage on.

The day before yesterday I tugged for around 20 hours straight so, yesterday I didn't tug that much to allow for the skin to relax a bit. Today, it was back on track. I tugged all night and changed to daytime configuration after I woke up.

I don't tug at work and still don't think I have enough skin to work with the your skin cone as a decent retainer. I think my main focus is on building more skin for the time being. Once the skin covers the glans more then not, then I can focus on restoring feeling and function, and possibly considering tugging at work.

I just don't want the tugger to come off at work, y'know? I still have some times where it loses grip on the skin because it gets snagged on clothing, etc...

Your observation makes a lot of sense.

One advantage I've noticed with devices compared to manual is that people (including myself) often find the time to tug more consistently. In my case, the deciding factor was that I wouldn't have to plan out a short tugging session ahead of time, or when to put on the t-tape.

Finding that the small rollover is happening more often, or, at least it seems to be. Could just be in my head though.

While I can't say that I have felt more sensitivity on a day to day basis but, I will say that after I made love with my wife recently, things felt kind of sensitive and "rough" when I had my boxers on. The sensation only lasted for a few minutes but, never felt that before.
