Pulled back — living with a bare head

Sorry I haven't replied sooner, I've had some family illness amongst other stuff I've had to deal with just recently. Pleased to hear that you've been able to make some good progress with it though Mellon, and hope that it's just a temporary set-back.

I'd agree with Kylar and Stephen though - a 'scatter gun' approach to these topical applications/creams mightn't be a good idea in the long run. In my mind, it's kind of like the same principle as why Doctors generally try to only prescribe limited duration courses of antibiotics for bacterial infection i.e bacterial resistance development. In the same vein, whatever you're applying, if it's for the wrong application for the wrong thing, you don't want other things such as your natural body flora/fungus to then get out of whack and make you more susceptible to other stuff. Sometimes less does more, so try and go sparingly as much as you can and let your own immune system make as much progress as it will.

You've pretty much got two direct options. Option one is time and patience, to live as much of your day/night and as much of your life 'retracted' (i.e having your foreskin pulled back) as you can stand. Over time, you should naturally de-sensitize, but the time that this takes varies from person to person. It seems usual that as the sensitivity gradually reduces, people are able to cope with their retracted states for longer and longer periods of time. The major issue that people who practice auto-circ (retraction for lengthy periods of time, living with the foreskin pulled back and uncovered as opposed to forward/covered) is that a guys a foreskin naturally tries to re-cover the glans when flacid and that's a major obsticle to trying to live pulled back and having it naturally desensitize over time.

Aside from time retracted/uncovered, you could try to use EMLA Cream (it's basically 'Premature Ejaculation' cream - it's a numbing agent that should prolong the time it would take you to ejacuate under stimulus). I've no personal experience in the use of this though, so I can't really advise if it's something that you could use for oral sex, I don't know if it has any taste.

Indirect action you could attempt to address premature ejaculation would be hypnotherapy or councilling/talk therapy, which apprently helps some men with PE issues.

IMO though, the younger you are and the more time you've had your glans covered by your foreskin, naturally the more sensitive the glans will be. There's not really any substitute for time to resolve this outside of chemical 'blocks'. You either have to take time to practice auto-circ/retraction, or you perhaps spend time going through other PE remedies. I never had PE myself, but I lived through my childhood and teens with servere phimosis so never was able to retract fully until I was about 19. If you're like me and you lived through your whole childhood and teens with your glans covered up, it would take more time to desensitize than for someone who started retracting at a young age such as 6 or 7, and who has maybe grown up learning to masturbate with their foreskin retracted anyway. They'll just have more experience with the glans exposed and thus it'll generally be more comfortable for them to be retracted in comparison to when you are currently. I'm now in my mid 40s and so have over 20 years experience being able to retract, though haven't really 'lived with it retracted' until this past year or so.

The first exposed glans was my own while I was still 5 or 6 y/o. I think first it was by accident while playing with my penis and later on (7-8 y/o) I always exposed my glans when peeing and showering.

Hi nowadays I enjoy retracting foreskins, but still my foreskins covers my glans easily when i'm flaccid.
But the question is, as my glans is super sensitive, even few strokes with hands or licks from blowjob makes me difficult to hold the cum. (Less than a minute )
So I really want to make it desensitize. Can you give me some tips for desensitizing my glans?

I like masturbation both ways depending on my mood. Sex is similar keep totally back is nice and provide her with extra friction that she says she likes other times the feeling of the natural glide is nice too.

+1 what Stephen is saying: don't overdose on medicine and stop using the snake oil called colloidal silver.

Quote from: rubbercock on 2024-04-19 08:19:03Permanently retracted from age 11, until circumcised at age 31. My glans is now irreversibly exposed and I love it as much as I've ever done.

You really dug up every possible post to write this into them?

Thanks for replying. I know you are right about the doctors. I am very much hoping it has sorted itself out next week but otherwise I am going to bite the bullet.

I did have a go at pulling back earlier and it was actually fine once back.

Yeah I did read about the steroids and thought I would steer clear. Perhaps sudocrem wasn't my smartest move either, I might wash it off.

I'll Google Balanoposthitis

Disclaimer: not a medical professional

Balanitis can have different causes like bacterial/fungal/viral infection, irritation or autoimmune.

The smart option will be to reach for a medical help.

The unsafe option will be to try and treat it yourself. If you plan to do anything yourself( without doctor help) never start with corticosteroids (for autoimmune diseases). If you are wrong corticosteroids will make bacterial/fungal infections worse.

Clean it with plain water and try to limit exposure to chemicals in soaps/gels. Wash with water leftovers from pee if possible.

I think when the condition affects both the head and the foreskin that its called "Balanoposthitis". Search stuff about it, there might be more specific information for your case
