Hi Strathsport101. Your penis looks a lot like mine, except yours may have a somewhat looser frenulum. But the rigid band seems just about the same as mine. This is a topic of interest to me lately, because I am interested in achieving a condition whereby my foreskin will retract automatically, when I get an erection. And aside from the frenulum, I think a tight rigid band is the greatest impediment to that. Mine is not abnormally tight, but a normal one is all it takes to prevent automatic retraction. After all, that is what the rigid band and frenulum are intended to do is to keep the foreskin covering the glans.
My initial thought was that I could wear some sort of a tube over my glans, with the foreskin forward, and this would keep the rigid band very open. Unfortunately (or fortunately) when I tried this, the skin would tend to just role back behind the glans, which tends to reinforce my assertion that stretching out the rigid band would facilitate automatic retraction. But this made it impractical to use this method. For the moment, I am just keeping the foreskin retracted with a glans ring, and counting on the shaft itself to keep the rigid band open. And that will definitely expand the rigid band opening over time. Just maybe not enough for what I want. Because being in the flaccid state most of the time, the shaft's girth is just not wide enough to achieve the desired result.
I am thinking about wearing some sort of tube over the shaft, and rolling the skin back over it to keep the rigid band stretched open. Kind of like how you roll the foreskin back over the first strip of tape in the double tape method, but using some sort of rigid tube, that wouldn't compress under the pressure of the rigid band. The downside is that I would probably have to tape it in place, which does not appeal to me. But so far it seems like the most viable solution that I've come up with. I haven't tried it yet, because I haven't figured out what to use for the tube yet. If you get any bright ideas, please share.
