Hi dudes!
It's me again with my ideas and stuff to get a permanent retraction without much need to take care of it that often :)

I've been thinking a lot of this idea before, but now after some member mentioned the piercing as a method to help stay retracted the idea came back to my mind.

So the idea is to bunch the skin down at the base and place a piercing through the shaft skin that comes out from the hairy part and as that part is not much movable it will keep the shaft skin there all the time.

I'm all fine with the piercings, I have 2 big tunnels at my ears and a frenum that I did myself so I guess I'll be able to do it right.
Also I think it will look much nicer than a tape of any kind.

And now here are the questions 😁

1st I'm sort of aware of any vein that I may pierce through and get it really bloody and messy, do you think there will be any on the way because as much as I know at the frenulum there is always a vein that we need to pay attention on when cutting or tying it, but this is the simpler one.

And 2nd which worries me much more is the fact that there will be basicly two holes placed pretty far from each other as one will be at the hairy part and to achieve the desired look the othe one must be around the middle of my penis.
So in any normal piercing there is a keratinized tunnel between the enter and exit that remains even if the jewelry is removed.
So what do you think will happen when I remove the jewelry from already healed hole? Will the skin move back to it's normal position or the two openings will stay joined as there will be a tunnel created between them?
I personally think that it will be free and able to move as when there is no piercing because underneath the skin there is basically no flesh that can get keratinized, actually what's under the skin as it slides free along the shaft which means it's not attached to it, some connective tissue called dartus tunica?
Is it possible in that tissue to get keratinized or not and will it be able to still stretch if so?

So I guess it's enough to start the topic.
Would like to hear opinions!
And here is a picture of my plan with a forceps placed at approximately the points I'm planning to eventually pierce it.
Thanks for the long read ! :)

I've thought of similar ideas (but have zero experience with piercing, so it was just speculation). The concern I have is that the two sides of the piercing are so far apart, that I don't know if the body will make a "tunnel" between them.

Another option I was thinking of, would be to do two small piercings - one at the base of the cock, and one in the middle. Then, each piercing will be very small and easily healed, but you can hook the piercings together like a chain. I don't know if it would be as effective, but surely it'd help!

I agree with SG. A single vertical piercing like that would not work. Although the two holes are far apart, they would have to heal together under the skin around the metal, so if you removed the jewellery after healing, it would be like you mentioned with the foreskin being held back by just the short tunnel underneath the skin. I think this would then be quite likely to break, leaving you back at square one.

Two separate horizontal piercings like SG described would be a far more viable option. I have also thought about doing that myself in the past, except on the underneath side.

I too, have had no experience in actual piercing. As a youngster some 65 years ago. I had a vision similar to soundsgreat87 that two piercings held together with a connecting agent would hold the foreskin back. After some rudimentary experimenting I came to the conclusion that was not a good idea and just relied on straight pulled back.

Thats some research time, i can see the idea, but soft and hard something would pull.
Love skining back and letting my head show

Two piercings seems like a much more feasible option. I'd imagine a single piercing like you envisioned would need to be of a size that might negatively impact sexual activities.

I still keep thinking that is going to work the way I imagine it.
Also I think that the connective tissue will not get keratinized and will only have an opening in it which will probably be hard to find when trying to place the piercing again but who knows...

About the sexual activities I suppose it will not be on the way because I'm going to use straight or curved short barbell which will be right at the base.

I tried to use my megnetic balls as an attempt to see the results but they are weak and doesn't stay at the hairy part and moved a bit to the shaft but I sort of like how it will look especially if I place it where I want.

Would like to hear more opinions :)

This sounds to me like the same effect of a foreskin piercing... I had one once as a teenager at college.
I'll try and dig out a picture. From what I recall it took a while to heal, and then all of a sudden just one day it was healed. It's long since retired, and I think its fair to say that the skin 'tunnel' is still there, but significant;y stretched length-wise...
For yours I guess the substantial strength would be in the jewelry being present.
(FWIW: your pic of bunched up skin is exactly what I'm trying to deal with rn.)

Two photos of the piercing - with ring is 2003/12, other is current status: I've not tried recently to insert anything so can't comment on viability. Bottom line, I don't

No, your skin has to seal off the underlying flesh from the outside environment. You can't just have two unconnected open holes to the area under the skin. If you do what you are suggesting, the two holes will heal together along the metal that is under the skin, creating a short tunnel. You would never be able to pull the foreskin fully forward again without breaking that tunnel.

A while ago, I've found a video in which anyone stick a needle into his foreskin along his penis-shaft and pulled it under the skin of the shaft and sticht it out just near the base of the penis. I tried this with a desinfected needle and string and it worked without loosing any blood. The string could then knoted together and will retract the foreskin very reliable back for a while. But an normal thin nylon string cut into the skin after a while and so I weared this "construction" not longer than for a while of a few hours.

Best regards, S.

I don't know much about  piercing so I'm leaving  this side of your idea aside, assuming that it is doable🤔 and safe🤔🤔.

Now, a little geometry here:
The way I understand it you want to take a point X somewhere along your shaft, pull it back to the base and fix it with a piercing, bunching the excess skin with it. In principle, this looks very similar to the technique I described in the second part of my post here:

https://pulledback.org/index.php?topic=1125.0

Based on my experience with it, the amount of skin that has to be bunched this way depends on the state of the penis. If it is flaccid, the point X has to be pretty far towards the head to produce a good retraction, and you will have a lot of loose skin to bunch. When erect, penis becomes (significantly) longer, the X moves away, and the remaining skin gets too short. It will pull at both ends, piercing and the head. Which, even in my case, is not pleasant - even though the bunched skin is not fixed like it would be in your case.
A retractor's quest is never complete.

So I actually did it and it went fine but it lasted for a very short time...here is what happened!
I bunched up the skin like I showed above and pierce it from the hairy part to the shaft, it wasn't painful maybe just where the hair is there it hurt a bit the rest was almost like nothing and very tiny bit of blood.
After I placed the piercing the skin stayed close to the look I desired but a bit looser which was still nice result.
That's the OK part....
Then because I really wanted to see if it's going to work during sex, if not I would took it off so it can go back to normal before it heals, so we went in the bed at the next morning and it worked super fine the skin never even touched the glans and felt great.
The 2nd day was the same maybe a bit swollen but it's normal as it's a fresh piercing.
But after the 3rd in a row day of sex as I went to wash it after I saw that the ball that is at the shaft is actually inside the skin, I was able to push it out but it always went back inside once I release it...the moment I realized it's not going to work...
I had tightened the balls of the barbell so tight I had to cut the jewelry with pliers to remove it... OMG it was one of the hardest things I ever did...
What surprised me is that it was already healing good as it kept the skin at almost the same position without the jewelry.

The next few days went with swelling, pain, no erections which was hard period and it started to get better after 4-5 days.
Everything came back to normal the skin stayed back without anything and even if I push it forward it jumped behind the corona even when soft.

Then with the time the inner tunnel started to stretch slowly by itself going back to it's previous state which I didn't like so decided to help it out with some stretching, it even broke up once I pulled it harder.
So now I'm basically almost at my starting state without any tunnel and back to taping and other methods.
Well at least I tried :)

so the end of the barbell went under the surface of the skin??   :o

Damn, it sounds like it was working well too... Maybe a ring instead?
