I have been a part time retractor for some time. The odd day and night, but probably not more than 12 hours at a time.
Having resolved to give this more focus I am now starting day 3 of being pulled back. Luckily my foreskin pulls back quite a way when flaccid and I can tuck under like the spoon method quite easily (I love the look of retracting this way) and my foreskin will stay where its put without needing any tape or rings.
I have remained fully retracted with no breaks over the past 2 days, sensitivity has definitely reduced and so far there is no inflammation round my foreskin which sometimes made me go back to being covered. Yesterday was a bit itchy and erections are frequent, but all good so far! Anything I should be keeping an eye out for or doing in these early days?
Another day and night completed. I did have some swelling on the underside round my frenulum yesterday. I switched from being tucked under (like with the spoon method) to just pulled back and it seems to have lessened.
There were good chunks of time yesterday where I couldn't feel that I was pulled back, so the sensitivity is definitely getting less. My Glans and inner skin are also feeling much dryer.
On day 5 now and I have only pushed forward for the daily dog walk. I have found a variation on the spoon method that works. Today I was also able to masturbate my head for the first time, which was great!
Just wanted to say I've been watching this thread and enjoying your logs! Please keep it up :D

Thank you :)
Well so far so good. Other than the 1 hour a day when walking I have remained uncovered all the time, including nights. The modified spoon method is definitely what works for me and I am finding my foreskin isn't wanting to move forward. In terms of sensitivity I am still getting very frequent erections, but that has always been the case, so its not an issue.
The sensitivity has really subsided other than around the underside. My head is much drier and I can comfortably rub it without that uncomfortable feeling. through the day, other than the odd time, I am not really feeling that uncomfortable rubbing sensation, although I am more aware of my dick if that makes sense? I guess the only thing I have noticed is that using the spoon method my inner foreskin isn't getting as much exposure, so does not seem to be drying out at the same rate.
I did jerk off using lube last night, and really enjoyed being able to work on my head without any discomfort. I have also been working on my shaft and bringing the skin up to where my head flares out, which is really great. Definitely a heightened sensation when I cum and it feels like the pleasure is much deeper. Also definitely able to last longer. It does also end up a messier affair as with my head exposed, shooting has resumed rather than the flow I had when covered.
Had chance for a pic today. Love the tuck under of my foreskin like this.
That looks really tidy - looks good!
Sounds like the journey is starting well for you!
looking great, bet it feels amazing

It does.....still getting used to things, but really pleased ;)
So a bit of an issue which has led me to cover up for a few days. The sensitivity of clothes etc has subsided pretty quickly, however it has also subsided when masturbating. the usually morning quicky was not possible as it was taking much longer to cum......is this normal?
Back to being pulled back and my foreskin seems to be pretty happy. No need to adjust and not really having any issues with rubbing any more. It does feel like I can actually pull back further. When limp I can go back about as far as I want, and when hard I can pull back much further when masturbating.
Pretty happy that I could stay pulled back all the time now :)
Sounds like you are making good progress mate. Sensitivity does seem to decrease to a point. I can only comment from a part time retracting perspective though. Lasting a bit longer sounds fairly normal to me. Glad you are getting a greater ability to pull back further like you want to as well. It's a good feeling isn't it!
