Title: Swelling after prolonged tucking?
Post by: Heylittleman on 2023-01-14 08:51:50
I regularly tuck my foreskin using the spoon/hair grip method.

I find after a full day, when I retract the foreskin is a little swollen.
Not painful, just looks different.

I hardly see any foreskin. Nor swelling.  8)

When you fold foreskin back inside, the circulation in the skin changes due to the pressure. It is all elastic so it is like putting a rubber band over a rubber band. And then skin fluid has to figure out how to flow freely through it.

When you keep it for a day or sometimes a bit longer, the skin swells to make some room. When it is too tight, it might swell even more to the point of hurting or stinging. Which draws your attention to give it a break and put everything back as it was. The longer you wait with that, the longer it will take for the swelling to subside.

Foreskin training is like any training. To get in shape you do not have to spend 24 hours a day in the gym. You'd get soar muscles from it. First thing I learned in the gym was first warm up, then exercise, then cool down. You forget the cool down, you get soar all over. No problem for the goal. Once in shape it will stay as long as you like.

looks normal at first glance. What does the foreskin look like when it is pushed forward?

honestly your results look optimal - I'm not seeing the swelling really, but I am seeing some great retraction and gap

oh yes, the gap is good to see, like hung.part.timer said. Do you still have your frenulum?

There doesn't seem to be a problem with swelling for you.
Have you tried not tucking to see if it stays retracted?
had very bad swelling a few times in the past but I've been retracted over 2 months now, longest period ever, and it's staying pulled back without the tuck.
If tucking works for you that's great but the slin from my shaft would come down over the tuck.

When fully flaccid, I experience the tuck being retained but the skin coming forward also.
Doesn't overly bother me though.

I get that skin from sheet overhand as well sometimes but as long as my glans holds most of the Foreskin back I'm happy.
