Pulled back — living with a bare head

Quote from: stephen.reilly79 on 2024-04-07 20:36:03I had to use a little saliva to lubricate the spoon handle in order to tuck the skin under correctly, which wouldn't have helped. Do you not do the same?

Well, I just use a water instead of saliva. I have no idea why my inner foreskin is drying (not as much as if I used drying methods).

I used to use the spoon method. I like the way it looks, it's very tidy in appearance, but I didn't like the fact that the inner foreskin wasn't exposed and so didn't dry out. So, no, I can't say my experience aligns with yours. I had to use a little saliva to lubricate the spoon handle in order to tuck the skin under correctly, which wouldn't have helped. Do you not do the same?

It's great to hear everyone's techniques. I pretty much only ever masturbate with the skin behind the head now. After almost 3 years retracted my head must have flared as I have to really work on getting my foreskin to cover the head now.

This means I can either just stroke with quite a loose grip and focus on the shaft and head without the ski. Rolling forward, or I can hold slightly firmer just below the head pulling my foreskin right back (I can pull it back fully to the point I look tightly cut. Sometimes I will use a circular motion on the heads one frenulum, which is pretty intense, but I cum quite quickly.

Hello,

I tried permanently retracting with the spoon method a month and a half ago (I used to retract occasionally) and I noticed that my inner foreskin dried quite significantly without using the toilet paper method. Has this happened to you? For long time retractors, is your inner foreskin dry (without using any method to dry it)?

Thank you!

I am able to use three techniques to masturbate.
1. The one I used for years, using my long (2cm) overhang. With my thumb and index finger I squeeze my overhang and that feels very intense and pleasurable, climax is reached within one or two minutes.
2. The "normal" technique using my hand, however I slide my overhang over my glans (my foreskin is long enough to cover my glans completely when erect).
3. For me new, using lube when my foreskin is behind my glans, this feels intense as well however it takes much longer for me since I am used to my first technique.

Nah, the last thing I'd want to deal with in this day and age of payment processors and donation/subscription sites going after anything even remotely not safe for work, is getting donations.

The pro version costs only $49, not a ton. On a sunny day, I would toss it in. Other users as well.

I don't see YOUR problem.

Should be possible to start over with a new gallery. As this forum exists for so many years, most penises in the gallery were even older than mine Yet do not forget this forum is for free and us beggars can't be choosers.

Easy, I pull all the way back, then use some coconut oil as lube. Feels much better than using foreskin and I never look back

QuoteEverything you've said sounds like a fungal infection to me. Have you tried the 2% Clotrimazole cream? The 1% stuff is fine, but the 2% stuff's better.

I haven't used the 2% version, but I was on 400mg of Itraconazole for 5 days, and it did not make a difference. Terbinafine cream did work, a little bit, but that could just have been my own body fighting it. I mixed a 2% Clotrimazole and Terbinafine together and started using it today.

I wake up with very mild pain, but by 4pm it hurts like 2 out of 10, and by 7-8pm I start feeling like when an infection is getting advanced.
I already tried going to ER and they said I had no fever, "talk to your GP".

So all that's left for now: I will try the combo antifungal (2% clotrimazole and terbinafine) for a couple of days (this weekend). If I notice absolutely no change, I will use the Fucidin for 7 days, and see what happens. If nothing, I will just endure until I see dermatologist and explain everything........if the doctor cares at all.
