Hi guys,
today I want to start a diary about my journey to a cut feeling. My goal will be the cut feeling meaning that I can stroke my bare glans without the oversensitivity I got now. I will update everyday with a picture that explains the sensitivity on certain areas of the glans aswell as the overall sensitivity. This means I will rate the sensibility from 0 - no feeling at all to 10 - highest feeling, just the touch is hurtful. Also I will update on the looks and feels of the skin of the glans and compare it to the start. Furthermore I will try out different techniques to keep my foreskin retracted.
To start I will introduce myself.
I'm 26 from Germany, I have been retracting for about 8 years but never longer then 3 days. So I could never achieve my goal but now with this diary and your help I maybe will :D.
For my start rating I would say that my overall sensitivity of the glans is about 8 out of 10. Its very sensitive and a light touch is ok, but if you stroke harder it hurts a bit. So basically I can feel everything on my glans with high sensitivity.
As you can see in the picture the glans has a red skin tone and looks very shiny
Day 0 without retracting:
(http://i.imgur.com/orLuJ3c.jpg)
I will update the blog in a couple of hours with my first day over and we can compare the two pictures.
If you guys have ideas how i could improve this blog or ideas i should try out let me know!
See you later!
So after one almost 1 day I change the retracting method from taping to spoon method because my skin started to hurt. So I shaved and made 2 pictures that explain the sensitivity of the glans a little bit more.
As you can see in the picture below the skin color and the shinyness havent changed yet, but I needed to push my foreskin for, for this morning because i had to run some errands and in this state it really distracts me :D.
Day 1 after retracting:

Day 1 sensitivity
(http://i.imgur.com/n9SLc8p.jpg)
The red area is the most sensitive area almost hurts touching. (on the scale 0-10 : 9,5 )
The purple area is sensitive but less then the red one. (on the scale 0-10 : 8 )
The yellow area is the least sensitive, but still i can feel it very much. (on the scale 0-10 : 7,5 )
Lets wait and see how it looks tomorrow :D. Have a nice saturday!!
I couldnt modify my first post so i post this flaccid normal state here:
Day 1 normal state:
(http://i.imgur.com/aRntY8t.jpg)
Wow, the spooning method makes you look very natural and smooth. Your glans has a very attractive shape. How much foreskin stays loose when you are erect? Does it cover your glans?
I would suggest 2 more pics. One with an erection with the normal state of the glans, and one with an erection with the skin pulled back. This will let you compare any foreskin shrinkage or changes over time as you retract more.
I definitely wish I had pics of my penis before I started retracting. Back then, we didn't have digital cameras, though!
Yea your right and here they are :D
Day 1 erect normal state of glans:
(http://i.imgur.com/mu4Ypbk.jpg)
Day 1 erect foreskin completly retracted:
(http://i.imgur.com/xRWo5MW.jpg)
If these pictures are to big please tell me!
Thanks for the input so far!
Nice, almost full natural retraction when erect!
Although the spooning method looks great on you, why not just pull the skin back and have it rest like in your first pic? Does it roll over on its own, or do you not like the wrinkle of skin that forms behind the corona?
Yes thats the problem the skin would just roll back over the glans. Thats why I actually liked the taping method because it exposed the inner foreskin too what the spoon method isnt doing.
But i havent found yet another solution for that problem :(.
I had the same issue when I first started to pull it back. It would only stay for a few seconds, erect or not. From my experience, I would stay with the spooning method. It looks great on you, and it will leave the under side of the foreskin "sensitive", unless you want to lose that sensitivity as well.
In my experience, the glans eventually changed color and toughened up. It also swelled up more because of being exposed constantly. This helped to keep the foreskin back, but it took a lot of patience and time. I didn't know of any other method back when I was 13. I wish I did cuz I would have definitely experimented. Try wearing tight underwear and try putting your penis in different positions, like up against your abdomen or to the side. This helped me while I was trying to train it back.
I know all guys will respond differently, but that's just my two cents.
Also, one thing I did was at night, I would find a way to pull back and keep it in position all night. I tried all kinds of tape, band aids, a hair band behind the glans (can't be too tight). I think I even tried a form of the coin method back then, and even a hair roller once!. But this was me looking for permanent retraction. Sensitivity was a huge issue, and I always went to bed with a hard on, but I really wanted full retraction so I just suck with it. In the morning, I would love the dry sensation of my glans, and I felt like I was making progress as the exposed glans stayed out longer and longer on its own.
Teasle. Check out my method using 'spirit' skin hardened and I think either the foreskin shrunk as no penis to cover OR bare head has got bigger ... either way, my skin stays back all the time, has done for about 10 years ... head rubbing as I walk when commando feels great 8)
Ok guys,
second day has arrived and with it a little swelling of my foreskin as you can see below, it doesnt hurt or anything its just a little bit bigger :D.
As for the sensitivity, it hasnt changed yet, still very delicate to touch and especially after a short wank yesterday night. The color hasn't changed either or maybe I can't see it you guys tell me! :D
I had to pull my foreskin over the glans during sports yesterday so out of the 48 hours I would say my glans was free for about 42 hours.
Day 2
(http://i.imgur.com/6A3eKdw.jpg)
@halfard
Thanks if I get some spirit I will try it out!
Did you sleep with it retracted?
Yea i slept like this, even this night!
I feel like the swelling has became a little bigger, still no pain but its kinda worrying, i dont know really what to do.
Sry i forgot that i couldnt edit my post, so its now a doublepost!
As you can see in the picture the swelling has increased and now I need a new technique because I can't this spooning up.
But on a good note, i would say I started to loose some of the sensitivity right now, before I would say I was an 8 out of 10, now i would almost say a 6,5 out of 10.
On touch with the skin it feels rougher and just a light touch as hell i could not feel on the top of my glans. The sites are still more sensitive.
Day 3
(http://i.imgur.com/elS3nzA.jpg)
So what do you guys think I should try now for a method, maybe tie my short frenulum and then start with the taoing method again?
Hmmm... Has it gotten this swollen before in the past?
well to be honest i never did it that long with the spooning method :D so i guess it would have been the same.
The swelling doesn't look too bad actually! I'd say keep it forward for a few hours until the swelling goes down, and then skin back again. It'll learn eventually ;)
the swelling doesn't look to bad to me. If it isn't hurting your penis, I would say leave it there. It is bound to swell up until it gets used to being there. Why did you have to cover your glans for sport? Was it it hurting the bare glans to be doing sport?
Hey guys thanks for your comments, well i had to pull my foreskin back over my glans today, because it started to hurt especially where my frenulum is. So i will try tomorrow morning again with the retraction.
As for sports i kinda had to cover my glans because it was still way to sensitive so it was very disturbing :D.
Sry guys I havent updated much, because I had some trouble with my frenulum.
But now it seems ok and I'm back on track with retracting! Back at Day 1 I guess :D.
Will update everyday now as it was the plan from the beginning! New picture updates on day 3!
Welcome back!
No news from Teasle? Hope he is doing OK.
I'm trying a more incremental process to try to avoid swelling or pain.
Good luck Teasle!
Hey guys im Back :D
sry i havent posted lately but i got a new job and was very busy. I wasnt retracting but since my last fail try of tying my frenulum (short fren) i just did my first tie ( if u want more info's let me know!^^)
here the pictures:
short frenulum:
(http://i.imgur.com/HHL9aKW.jpg)
first tie:
(http://i.imgur.com/5EdfqIb.jpg)
After the healing i will come back to retracting and hopefully with the taping method :D
see ya!
btw. thanks to nattan :)
It seems you did a really good job 8)
Just have to wait a week to see the results
hey thanks :D cant wait^^
Woah, you went for it! That looks like really good positioning for the tie, too. Can't wait to see how it looks afterwards ;D
Just wanted to upload an update after 7 days of tying:
(http://i.imgur.com/geKJQVb.jpg)
what do you guys think, another day or two ??
:O Have you been tightening the knot? If there's still living tissue inside the knot, let it cut through some more!
no i have not tightened the knot, just as is was 7 days ago
Does it seem like it has cut through? You might want to tighten it if it's loose...
It kinda feels like it cut through the top part of the frenulum and when i try to move the knot the whole frenulum moves with. So the knot is definitely still thight enough.
hey guys so yesterday it snapped off :D but i think for a better result i need another tie but look for yourself!
before
(http://i.imgur.com/RhRhGzm.jpg)
after
(http://i.imgur.com/lRWHxVe.jpg)
Cool ! 8)
Oh wow! Great job ;D Looks like you made it nice and smooth on the underside of the glans!
I agree that another tie will be necessary, but I'd recommend waiting at least a month before attempting it.
Wow you can really see the improvement!
Yup, I think you need another tie. Wait a few days though.
any updates on this?
Waiting for updates.
Also interested in this thread... my turn next i think
Man that tie looks like done by a real professional!
I honestly tried few times to do it but just when I touch the needle my hands starts to shake super hard and I am not able :(
Ohh thanks so much :D
In the meanwhile i did another tie and you can see the result here, sry the last picture is a bit out of focus :(.
(http://i.imgur.com/5m8K8CV.jpg)
(http://i.imgur.com/J3DieGV.jpg)
Whats it like soft, is there any swelling now
what do you mean by swelling? there is no swelling but im not retracting at the moment.
Wow, that looks great!
so guys i wanna update you on the frenulum after 8 months
(http://i.imgur.com/9VOVe6c.jpg)
now you can see the nub that i want to tie off i will keep u updated. And i wish i could do another tie but a big vein is in the way :(!
Plus i startet with retracting today again and i will go for a week now and see if i can do it!
You have done well there, It look's great. well done.
ok guys i did it!! i tied my nub :D!
First i used magic string but that didnt really work:
(http://i.imgur.com/gHJJVQe.jpg)
Then i used a wool string and it worked on the first try!! What do you think??
(http://i.imgur.com/hr7weXx.jpg)
Let me know! :D
Good luck :O
seems like your scared :D?? are plz dont make me nervous :D
I'm not scared, are you? ;D
Ehm a little bit :D
I mean ive tied two times but thats easy :D just cutting through but this is tieing off skin directly :D
Sry for the double post but i wanted to keep you updated!
So i am pretty proud of myself for reaching day 4 a personal best so far!
I needed to pull my foreskin back for an hour after waking up today because my foreskin was swollen pretty bad, but now im back at retracting!
Tomorrow at day 5 i will update with a new photo of my sensitivity chart and the areas on how the sensitivity is distributed!
So long see you tomorrow!
Im sorry guys but it seems i cant edit my last post so i have to start a new one...
Update: unfortunately i that to cover my glans for the night because the swelling of the foreskin was so severe yesterday evening. :(
On waking up today it looked ok but my foreskin did a hurt a little bit when pulling back.
So the method i used before was spoon method but that caused swelling so i now used the glans ring method but that caused even more swelling. I wanted to use the glans ring because i want the inner foreskin to dry and become tough too.
So i really have a big problem... if i use any method my foreskin starts to hurt and swell up, but i really want to keep retracting...
What do you guys suggest? Maybe i should try the new method a member here came up with 2 rings at the start of the penis. I'll keep you updated later that day with some pictures!
Please help me :D!
Has the swelling only been an issue since you started tying the bump? (How's that going?)
Ehm no the swelling has nothing to do with the tying!
And yea cotton string didnt worked it came off 3-4 hours later and i cant get it to tie off with the magic string it just wont hold so i will leave the nub for the time... :(
Hmmm. Weird. Did you have the swelling before?
Yes thats way I stopped the last time, when i made this thread here. I can't really figure out what to do now...
Well the swelling usually stops happening if you keep retracting. It's that the skin is a little tight and restricting the flow of interstitial fluid.
If you keep at it (and keep putting the skin forward when the swelling gets bad), eventually it will stop happening!
ok i try i have covered my glans now for about 24 hours i will leave it for the comming night covered and try tomorrow, because right now it still hurts :(
Oh no D:
ok guys after waking up i guess i know why it still hurts a bit :(
After looking carefully i think my adventure with pulling back resulted with scars in my foreskin here is a picture:
(http://i.imgur.com/pMjgt2R.jpg)
what do you guys think? It's weird because i never thought i stretched my foreskin while rectracting ...
I thought the same that my foreskin stretched due to retracting. Dude no worries I also did two ties and had a bump which I tied off as well. Sounds crazy but I did all my ties with waxed dental floss it worked well for me and it wouldn't come loose like cotton thread or wire. Keep at it you'll get there. ;)
The most sensitivity on my glans during masturbation is on the yellow area..
So update guys...
i couldnt continue pulling back because the swelling was just to severe.
So i guess i cant really fo for a long time, maybe one day pulled bakc one day covered.
Hmmm :(

You might wanna try the liquid latex method. It's extremely comfortable, and should work even better for you, since you've cut your fenulum. I think it is one of the methods least likely to cause swelling. Good luck.

Yea i like the idea of that! I alrdy bought a bottle on amazon and i will try it out on Tuesday! Keep you updated!
I just got one question how does the latex handle masturbation? Does it break up?
Ok guys i got the liquid latex today and now i tryed it out here the result :D
(http://i.imgur.com/1CUGiEH.jpg)
(http://i.imgur.com/c5GWhjD.jpg)
I dont know if it will hold lets see maybe @jdm has some idea or improvements?! :D
Yeah, is this what liquid latex looks like on you jdm? Seems to keep Teasle's skin behind the head, but doesn't much expose the inner foreskin. Is this the usual or can you do it in a way that exposes more of the inner foreskin? Teasle thanks for posting. I've been trying to visualize what liquid latex method would look like for a while now.
Looking great teasle! I'm sure this method works really well for showers. (I mean guys who show, not bathing)
well bad news :( it didnt really work it came off about 4 hours after i posted yesterday ...
i guess i have to go for 2 days with a glans ring or spood method and one day covered so that i keep the swelling to a minimum. :(

I just got one question how does the latex handle masturbation? Does it break up?
Sorry for the delay, I've been off the board for a while. In my experience, once I got the process down, it held up reasonably well for masturbation. It's stretchy, so it will accommodate some degree of tugging. But if you're very vigorous about pulling the skin, or jerk off for very long periods of time, it will come apart. It also depends on how many layers you used, and how tight you made it. You also can't use any sort of oils that break up latex as lube. Usually, if I masturbate, it will shorten the overall lifespan of an application. I'm not sure how long it would last without masturbation, because usually, I can't last that long without it. ;D But I have gone two or three days without a jerk, and the latex held up quite well. After that, it would usually break up during masturbation, and I would remove it when I was done. Other times, I would jerk off the same day I applied it, and it would last through the night, then come apart sometime the next day.

Actually, one of the main reasons I love this method, is that it does expose my inner foreskin very well. It's just a question of how far back you pull it when you are "gluing" things together with the latex. It's a bit less secure than the tape method, so you can't go super tight, but you can go a lot tight than Teasle did here.

Sorry to hear it didn't work well for you. I would suggest you try it again. Sometimes it takes a bit of experimentation to get it just right. I recommend you try it after drying off from a shower, when everything is as clean and dry as possible, with no oil buildup. Try thin layers, and make sure they dry out completely before adding on more. I'm not sure what else to suggest, other than following the instructions I've posted previously. Maybe you missed something. If you have any specific questions, let me know. Good luck.
Ok guys sry was on vacation :D.
Im back at it now i will be retracted on the day and on nights i will cover the glans in hope that will reduce the swelling to 0! I keep u updated!
I guess i will try next week the liquid latex again and give you also an update! See ya :D wish me luck! ^^
Ok guys day 3 so far so good, the swelling is pretty much none existent, so i guess i keep it that way. Pretty sad i can go only about 15-18 hours retracted but its better then nothing i guess :D
I tried something new today. After talking to @bobenc0 i used a ring to hold back my foreskin but my skin is way to tight and it did hurt a bit, so im back at a glans ring here the two progression pics:D
(http://i.imgur.com/lpUdomc.jpg)
(http://i.imgur.com/XL8hzqD.jpg)
Coming back to my scaling:
I would say right now its a 7,5 (sensibility from 0 - no feeling at all to 10 - highest feeling) i guess the nights where im covered keep the progress in check and the feeling wont diminish to fast.
Tomorrow i will bring back the different sensitivites on the glans itself (colors).
Heyy, looking good! I can tell that your glans is still really new to being exposed - the red color and that texture are a giveaway. It won't take too long for it to get used to it.
But I'm wondering, you said the swelling is pretty much nonexistent, but you can only go 15-18 hours? If the swelling isn't a problem any more, you can't go 24/7?
Brings back happy memory's seeing that. Keep it up as it just get's better and better.
Start of Day 4
@soundsgreat87
I was experimenting and i thought when I leave the glans covered over night I could retract during the day and that worked for the first 2 days/nights, there was no swelling.
Now i tried during day 3 to cover the glans while going to the gym and for an additional 30 mins after that. And now I kept beeing retracted for the last night and this is the result:
(http://i.imgur.com/5NCaQIl.jpg)
There is swelling but i think is manageable when i cover the glans during gym today again!
So yesterday i said i bring back the sensitivty "chart" here we go!
(http://i.imgur.com/cqpArdx.jpg)
The red area is the most sensitive area almost hurts touching. (on the scale 0-10 : 9 )
The blue area is the least sensitive, but still i can feel it very much. (on the scale 0-10 : 6,5 ) --> that supprised me because its the inner foreskin and thats the part that has the least time uncovered...
The yellow area is sensitive, but less then the red one . (on the scale 0-10 : 7,5 )
So overall i would say it didn't changed much since yesterday, maybe the color starts to change and it looks a bit dryer.
@camchain
Thanks I try to keep at it :D!
Ahh okay :D yeah in my experience, sometimes I would get swelling about like that, but when wearing cockrings. It didn't hurt or get any worse, and would disappear in an hour or two if I removed them.
And wow, look how much less red it is after one day ;D
well maybe its more the lighting i dont know!? :D
but yea today my foreskin startet to swell up again, then for 2 hours i covered the glans and the swelling went away. I guess i go 24/7 now and when it swells up i juts cover for 1-2 hours.
swelling during the day:

(http://i.imgur.com/88nre7o.jpg)
swelling gone after 2 hours of covering the glans:
(http://i.imgur.com/4USl2yS.jpg)
Interesting. Is your foreskin a little tight?
Yes i tried ur method with the foreskin over a ring and that did hurt pretty much, so yea a bit tight. Do you think i could change that easily?
Ahh okay. Yeah the foreskin will loosen up pretty quickly if you stay skinned back 24/7, no special exercises needed. Then the swelling should stop and you'll have more options for skinning back techniques, like the ring ;D
ah ok well then im excited to be retracted 24/7 :D
sound do you have a picture of your foreskin back and forward without the ring? i would love to see how the strechted skin looks now!
I've got several pics of it forward without the ring on my tumblr: http://soundsgreat87.tumblr.com/tagged/myself
There's that doorknob-docking post where you can see it back :D but it mostly just looks like a normal dick...
Start of Day 5
Ok guys i think its the first day i really made progress i think :D!
First i talked to soundsgreat87 about some techiques on toughen up the glans. He then mentioned the EMLA creme which i used while tying my frenulum. So before bed i used the creme and let it on the glans and boy o boy it worked pretty nicely!! I could sleep without distraction and i could feel for the first time how it would be as a cut guy or a long time retractor. Loved it :D! And before bed I now ill always use the EMLA creme until I dont need it anymore!. Weirdly I think the creme helped desensitize the glans, or retracting now 22 hours had more effect on that im not to sure. But i felt today I could feel a difference compaired to yesterday!
Here the daily update:
(http://i.imgur.com/dzPtMcV.jpg)
As you can see the swelling is barely noticable, so I guess my skin is adjusting to the retracted state! And i maybe just have to pull the skin over the glans for an hour or so if the swelling starts to come up again.
for the chart:
(http://i.imgur.com/b74JVbG.jpg)
Something weird happend, yesterday my inner foreskin was the least sensitive and now that changed 180°, it now is the most sensitive!
The purple area is the most sensitive area, but it doesnt hurt touching, just slightly uncomfortable. (on the scale 0-10 : 8,5 )
The yellow area is the least sensitive, but still i can feel it very much. (on the scale 0-10 : 6,5 )
The red area is sensitive, but less then the purpel one . (on the scale 0-10 : 7,5 )
Day 5 is my current record and I want to break this, i will keep going and currently its a lot of fun :D!
See ya tomorrow!
Thats interesting, i don't have that as such, mine is more near the frelum which is sensitive. I use the spoon method more, so the frelum side does have some bunching of skin, but they are the only sensitive parts and thats at about 1.5 after a few days.
you mean senitivity of 1.5 in the area where the frenulum is? What about the glans and inner foreskin?
1.5 seems pretty low, for how long have you been retracted?

1.5 is little feeling but enough, i have been doing this for years, my inner foreskin is a dry, so dry in fact that i can put the forskin forward for a day, and my head will be bone dry. The head etc, i can walk around all day and not feel a thing.

Start of Day 6
Weirdly today it seems nothing changed at all compaired to yesterday :(...
well see you tomorrow hopefully with some change :D!
Hi Teasle, here are some suggestions. #1. The Emla cream is great for temporary reduction in sensitivity, and very useful for getting over the hump. It will allow you to tolerate exposure more and longer, which will help you adapt, keratinize and desensitize naturally. But keep in mind that irritation, like swelling, is an indication of an injury, and just masking that symptom may not always be a great idea. You may not want to over do the exposure before you're ready for it. You may also want to consider using CLA on your glans. This will sooth it somewhat, not just mask the irritation, and will also accelerate the keratiniziation process, so that you will adapt more quickly. Here is a thread about it. http://pulledback.org/index.php?topic=224.msg1786#msg1786 (http://pulledback.org/index.php?topic=224.msg1786#msg1786)
#2. That method you tried, with the skin pulled back over a ring (Soundsgreat87's method), which you said was too tight? Well, that is actually one of the best methods for stretching out and loosening up the foreskin. You have to be loose enough to tolerate it in the first place, but once you are, I would encourage you to try it again, because it can work wonders, and is quite comfortable once you're loose enough for it. Good luck.
Ok guys since nothing happend the last two days, i now aplied CLA in my skin and glans and pulled forward, because the oil is a bit messy... jdm do you think i can pull forward while using cla? Or should i aply cla wait until it is "gone" and then go for retracting?

As mentioned in the thread on keratinizing agents, you may experience some irritation from the CLA, if you wear it while pulled forward. I know I did. For this reason, I would recommend applying CLA only when retracted.
ok guys day 8
Yesterday i aplied CLA on my glans and foreskin and after a couple of hours i could alrdy feel a difference. Its hard to describe but it feels like the sensitivity went from outside to the inside and i could touch my glans without a problem!
As a side effect, my skin feels WAY more smooth now, i dont know why, maybe because the CLA exfoliates the skin or something but holy shit its a big difference!!
Today i aplied it again, you can definitely feel the CLA "working" its not uncomfortable but its like rubbing a towel against the glans. I guess thats the best way i can describe this.
After aplying i let it soak in for about 10 minutes and now im retracted since jdm said pulled over the glans could lead to irritation.
The skin doesnt look to different, i will however make some photos tomorrow before aplying again!
On a side note, i would say my overall senitivity went from about 7.5/8ish to about 6.5! Really excited that the CLA works :D!
Great news. Glad it is working for you. That was my trouble when i first started, ( to sensitive) it took a while, but was worth it in the end.
Thanks :D!
Day 9
Ok guys here we go, i think on the pictures you can clearly see the skin is changing, since yesterday the feeling did not really change any further. Im gonna go ahead and aply the CLA again.

Glad that the CLA is working for you. You're the first person I've heard from who has tried it, so it's nice to get the feedback from someone other than myself.
Just a little Update guys!
I kept going for 2 more days and then i got sick :( so i had to stop. Now im back in shape but i will change a lot.
I wont go 24/7 right now, because i noticed that it really distracted me during work and while sleeping. So im only retracting when i want and when im relaxed. My biggest problem was i never got over the hump that i wouldnt feel it anymore in my boxers or so, i got constantly reminded of my bear head, while yes im enjoying this feeling it can be very distracting and annoying too!
So we see how it goes, i keep u updated!
Just take your time. it takes time to get used to it. but it is well worth it. mine is back all the time now, love it.

You might consider using a breathable sleeve over the glans while you are adjusting to having your skin pulled back. Look for something like Surgilast or MT Spandage. It works great to minimize stimulation from rubbing, while still allowing your glans and inner foreskin to breath and adapt to the new position, and constant exposure. I'm not sure of MT Spandage's sizing, but size 2 is probably good for Surgilast. Their model number is GL-702.
@jdm
ohh thats a great suggestion... but i dont think i can these use things here in germany :(

You might be able to order it online. I just searched amazon.de for both Surgilast and MT Spandage, and I got lots of hits. Might be expensive though.
Hey guys no long no see :D
I'm coming back to you because I just did my second (third :D ) tie and some meatus modification.
Here some pictures:

You might ask why did I do this?
I still had problems with my frenulum and since months I wanted a second tie so my glans would finally be free :D.
But why the meatus too?
To behonest just for fun and it's not that deep I just wanted to see how it goes and how the endresult would look, just some experiment :D!
If you have questions let me know, I will update that thread if something changes :D!

Why did you choose to enlarge the meatus on the upper side of your head? Maybe it's just me but I think an enlargement of the meatus on the underside looks more natural as it follows the grove there. If you just make a very minor enlargement it will barely be noticeable but if you plan to continue that mod in the future it will make a difference.
I don't know why I started on the top I guess I like the look of it xD
The underside should be easier to pierce anyways... So if it goes well I might start at the underside too.
Very interesting, looking forward to the result!

Please don't get me wrong. I certainly don't want to stop you from enlarging your meatus. It's just something that one should be sure of as it's difficult to reverse I guess. Anyway, I think a meatotomy can look nice. That's why I contemplated doing one myself in the past but decided to try another "mod" instead and to be happy with it.
So good luck with your endeavor, and please keep us updated! :)
Sure no porblem, and i dont want to go to far with this... maybe a complete meatotmy would be to much for me too, just a little bit to see how it looks :D!
May I ask of what is your glans ring made off?
Thanks, good results.
Hi, I too just started on retracting, may I know what glans ring you are using?
Oh the ring I used was self made out of sponge rubber or foam rubber you can buy in an art store.
Update after 5-6 Days
The meatus mod didnt really worked out :( it wouldnt cut through I don't know if didn't pull it strong enough or the meat is just to spongey to cut with this string...
The Frenulum cut is going great, it cut really fast and I think 1-2 days and its finished but look for yourself!

There is a little swelling but I think it will be ok after some days.
Thanks for your update, Teasle!
Do you consider a different method now to extend your meatus? Or will you leave it at that because the tying didn't work?
Ehm so for the upside of the glans I think I will keep it that way or at least wait until the irritation is gone. Maybe I gonna try on the underside of the glans where the skin there (where before the frenulum was attached to the glans) seems to be way less durable and thinner.
10 Days update
I just had a look at me tie and i just saw that it wasn't tight enough so I just removed it. My question is, do I just leave it like that and let it heal or tie again? I tried to use the same hole but the needle just would go through I couldn't find the hole :(

Any suggestions?
Small holes will heal up on their own without leaving much, or any, scar.
Hey guys i just did my 4th tie just about 8 days ago and now I did run into the same problem as last time, i think my tie isnt tight enough to really cut through anymore. I tried to untie it but the knot wont come loose... What do you guys think i should do?

You could try pushing something into the gap? So that the tie is tight on the object and the skin behind it.
Problem is it kinda hurts :D. I maybe should try and find the hole with the needle and just put another tie in. Hope it works.
Either that or cut the existing tie. Use small cuticle scissors or a nail clipper.
Hey guys,
I know its been a really long time, just because I moved and I was really busy at work. Now i started again and I have to tell you about it :D
I started using a penis extender (quick extender pro)
(https://i.imgur.com/GOt7sj9.jpg)
(https://i.imgur.com/3Fzhii5.jpg)
And i figured out that with the foreskin pulled back it would hold better and wouldnt hurt over the time using the device. So I did pull the skin back, and what can I tell you, after only 5 days, i really feel good about the glans and the rubbing against my underwear.
Where before I would really feel the rubbing and it was kinda sexual, now I only feel it rubbing but not in a sentual way. More in like if you would scratch your lips. Of course its still sensitive but no way near the same when I started.
I guess that it went so quickly was that I am doing this a long time on and off and I think my glans was in a way a bit ready for this and started to be more tougher then a normal glans would be.
What do you guys think about that? The rapid adjustment and the overall practise of using a penis extender?!
Reading through all your progress is very interesting. I have been fully retracted for over two months now, pretty much 24/7, using a DIYBDsilicone ring just like the black one you made out of the foamy thing. I made it out of an old iPhone case.
I bought a foreskin corrector made of silicone from AliExpress, but they sent me the wrong one. The one I ordered was intended for permanent retraction and the one I got was a very simple and standard silicone ring with an even shape all around, like a finger ring.
I decided to use it anyway, and since my glands is already used to being exposed all the time, I can go about my life normally. The one problem I have is a lot of swelling on the foreskin when using the ring I bought. There is no pain, and the swelling looks more like a blister, sort of like water filled.
I'm trying to alternate between the ring I bought and switching to the DIY ring as the swelling does not happen with the DIY one.
Teasle, your extender pics are very interesting. Thanks for sharing! :)
Hi Teasle, any more news?
Yes there are :D
im getting circumcised with the start of the new year. Had nothing to do really with beeing pulled back or anything.

Good luck, so you want to be permanently back are you going to remove your frenulum?
well i kinda have to, my foreskin keeps swelling after sex/wanking and its just annoying. I think the frenulum will be removed because its alrdy cut
Congratulations on making the decision to get a circumcision! I was reading through your story and found it very helpful in my beginning of keeping my foreskin retracted. I haven't ???nt started retracting yet but will after I go back home from a vacation. I would like to start with the ring method of placing a ring behind my glans between my glans and my foreskin. I do not have any rings or would rather not purchase one, id much rater make a comfortable homemade one. I see that you had made your own and was wondering what material did you use and where did you get it?
Thanks i used foam rubber
Bro are you sure you really want to cut off your foreskin? This will probably mean reduced pleasure from sex and masturbation. You probably have other less drastic options man. Maybe others here on the forum can suggest some. I don't want you to have any regrets man. If you are having swelling, maybe there are techniques that don't create as much inflammation. You might consider giving it some time before choosing to do this. It's not going to make things worse to give yourself some time to consider other options and get feedback from other guys here.
Yes im getting cut on the 01.17.0202, i just had to much trouble in the last year with my foreskin its just a hassle anymore!
Aany update on your opp ? keen to see the after photos and healing process.
Hi guys
i know its been a while but i wanted to come back and just share my thought's and my progress until now.
I got a circumcision on the 01.07.2020 so its a litte over a year now.
I had it done in a hospital after 2 consultations with the doc.
It was very professional.
First i needed to change into a hospital gown. And after about an hour I got carried to the surgery room. And the doc talked about the procedur and what we gonna do now.
Then i got the anesthetic injection. And then they started. I couldnt really feel anything until the end when they got to my frenulum, they had to do another injection.
Then for the ride home i couldnt feel anything down there, the day after i needed to come back for consultation.
He removed the bandages and said he did a good job and then i went home.
I used a healing creme and washed the penis in camomile.
After 10 days i got rid of the stiches myself because they annoyed me to much :D.
First sex was weird because we started to early and it did hurt a bit.
And i have to say, there was a time to adjust for me. It took about 3-6 months for my glans to get used to the state. And it took about 3 months to really heal perfectly.
But after that time i can say its the best its ever been.
I love looking at it and touching it. Its just awesome :D
I can upload some pictures but i dont know if its alowed because this is not a circumcision board.
So maybe pn me!
Im open for any questions but maybe just via pn :D
I really loved the board and the suggestions about pulling back. I enjoyed the "playtime" but thats over now for me and i have to say i dont miss it because i dont have to fiddle anymore :D
Thanks to all and happy pulling back!
Hi please message me private and I got ur message on kik thanks please reply on there if u want to
Can you share pics, Teasle? Interesting to see how it compares to your retracted state.
Likewise.
Hey I wanted to ask, for how long did that swelling last? And did it become normal or is it the same? What do you do get rid of that swelling? Kindly answer me
