Title: Alcohol to dry the glans
Post by: Foreback123 on 2020-04-12 00:41:29
The other day I saw a post talking about using alcohol on the glans to dry it but it wasn't very informative and I really want to speed up the drying process, So I just wanted to ask: Have you ever used this method to dry your glans? Did it worked? and How did it went?

Well, I'm not sure what this drying the glans is all about. Yes, I've seen  guys reporting all kinds of terrible drying-out chemicals here, but the thing is, we don't get to hear the bad outcomes of these practices. Alcohol is not a harmless chemical, and if you use it on a normal skin, it dries it so hard that it destroys its upper layers, resulting in rather nasty dermatitis and other skin conditions. Let's be reasonable, this is not something we should be doing to our delicate skin down there. If you pull back, the glans gets exposed anyway and will dry by itself, just give it time.

My advice, backed by experience, would be to keep it simple: pull it, fix it and enjoy. ;D

Yes have to agree, let it take its course and that part is sensitive until naturally hardened

To me it's too aggressive and also not sustainable. I tried in the beginning but to no avail. It's not about 'drying' the glans, but about building a slightly thicker skin, with more layers. The resulting skin is not dry at all, it is healthy-looking; the only difference is that it tolerates pemanent exposure. I understand some might want to experience a 'dry and cracked' look, but to me this is unhealthy.

Wtf ? Just retract, and your glans will by dry 1 hour later or so. Why would you even want to put alcohol on it ?!
