25 year old post circumcision for phimosis

Hi Louis,

The sensitive glans is NORMAL.  It's been protected your entire life.  It will become less sensitive in time.  It will also dry out some and not be as red.

Try just "arranging things" so that it hangs in the air.  There is no really good way to do this.  Your surgeon may have some advice.

Good luck.

Adult circumcision is a surgical operation to injure the penis and reduce its size by cutting off the nerve-laden sexually sensitive foreskin. Adult circumcision is usually performed with a general anesthetic however local anesthetic may be used. Like all surgical operations, it has risks of hemorrhage, infection, and surgical mishap. Loss of the penis has been known to occur. Death has been known to occur.

The foreskin is a complex double-layered structure composed of smooth muscle fiber, skin, mucosa, nerves, arteries, and veins. It is natural, normal, healthy, and its possession contributes to a sense of well-being. The foreskin has protective, sensory, sexual, and immunological functions. It is loaded with nerves and is the site of most of the penile sensation. The foreskin is a “specific erogenous zone.” The foreskin is essential for normal intercourse. Amputation of the foreskin, which is an integral and important part of the penis has very significant adverse sexual and emotional effects. Foreskin provides the additional skin needed to allow for penile expansion during erection.

Circumcision is an injurious, damaging, destructive, and harmful surgical operation that cuts through nerves and blood vessels that feed blood to the penis. The operation is irreversible. You will have the rest of your life to mourn your loss of your erogenous foreskin. I hope it works for you.

The foreskin is filled with nerves that make it the most sensitive part of the human body, therefore, cutting into it is very painful.

It takes about six weeks to recover from an adult circumcision. But you will never fully regain the lost protection, sexual function, sensation, and sexual pleasure, even if you restore your foreskin.

If you should become interested in restoring your foreskin, a search on the Internet for “foreskin restoration” will produce lots of information.

Sorry to hear about your loss.

It will become desensitized in time all by itself.

Many of us who still have foreskins have desensitized ours because we were tired of it being so sensitive when we pulled our foreskin back. The only way to do it is to expose it and keep touching it until it gets accustomed to it. The only difference is I could put my foreskin back over it and take a break for a while. You don't have that choice so you will just have to endure until it becomes less sensitive.

Keeping it dry so it doesn't stick on whatever it rubs against helps to make that less painful so maybe some talcum powder would help a bit.

There were several posts recently by a dad whose son was working on getting his foreskin to stay back by itself that might interest you.

They wore tight underwear or speedos to hold it in place and didn't seem to have too much trouble with the sensitivity. I guess that reduced the rubbing motion and therefore the pain. It did cause more frequent erections which slowed as the glans got used to being exposed.

Good luck and don't listen to all the negative comments. There are plenty of circumcised guys in the world. When I was a kid and we boys got together to masturbate I was amazed to discover it didn't hurt the circ'd guys a bit to have their glans rubbed. When we did each other it sure felt strange to rub someone's bare glans and he liked it, because I sure couldn't do that to mine. Now that I have desensitized mine I love the feeling of rubbing my bare glans. Since I desensitized it I have always held my foreskin back tightly and dry rubbed it to masturbate. So you can look forward to a new pleasure after you get rid of the sensitivity.

That link doesn't seem to work for me. I copied it from one I opened from a reply notice I got.
I just went directly to the topic to try again.

Try this one.

My exchange was with 'Gadget" who did it himself and now his three sons have done it.
