Hello, I really didn't want to post anything about this on any site but it seems like I have no choice

 I am a 16 year old who was recently circumcised on August 3rd because I had a mild case of phimosis and I decided that I wanted the foreskin gone, but the doctor did not fully circumcise me, he instead gave me a dorsal slit (he did not ask me about this, which way I wanted, and I figured that a circumcision was always a full circumcision.) I am mad about this, because its not what I wanted, I don't want to be at risk of infection from germs under the foreskin, I don't want to be at risk of my frenulum ripping whenever I masturbate/take part in sexual activities, and honestly it just looks ugly and lowers my self esteem. Is it possible to go back to get the rest of the foreskin removed once the swelling and stitches are gone? I'm guessing it is, I just want to be sure

But the main problems are that my glans is super sensitive, it is very painful when anything touches it, I can't even think about how painful it is. I can barely sleep at night because I'm worried about it touching my leg or the blanket, and if I start to doze off and it touches something, the pain shocks me back awake. I barely wear pants or underwear, (only when I have to go to the bathroom and my parents are near my room cause I don't want to walk around naked), because I don't want to have the glans hit anything or its really painful. Since the operation I've only showered twice so far (and they weren't even real showers, I just wash my hair, I look away from the showerhead and have to kind of lean so nothing hits the glans) because the pressurized water hurts if it hits.

  I just want a solution to this sensitivity, I want enough of it gone so it's not painful, but I want to keep some so there's some pleasure whenever I masturbate/have sex, etc. The solutions I've read so far keeps saying that I have to keep touching/rubbing it gently, and more and more once the sensitivity starts to go down, but I can't bring myself to that. The closest I've done to that is soaking my penis in warm water and getting one of those ear things you clean your ears with and rubbing it gently, but that did not work. All I do now is get a large cup of warm water whenever I go to the bathroom and pour it over the penis, it stings at first but once the whole thing is wet it can handle it. Since doing that I GUESS the pain has gone down A LITTLE bit, but it's not safe to say. I'm wondering if I keep pouring/soaking it with warm water the pain will go away eventually, or if theres another safe way. I've also read something about soaking it in warm salt water, would that help with the sensitivity/swelling? The stitches are still in, but I can tell it's gradually been dissolving since the operation, and I kind of accidentally pulled one out the other day, it stung for a second but after that it was all good. I'm hoping to pull more out soon so the swelling with go down. As for the smegma, it started to show a couple days ago, and it really builds up whenever I get an erection. I don't want to peel it with my fingers, because I can't even imagine what the pain would feel like, and I don't plan on finding out anytime soon. Would the warm (salt) water help with smegma? 

 I am going to the doctors on August 14th for a 'check-up'. I just hope someone posts on this in less than two days so I can start on getting rid of the sensitivity, because I don't want to keep walking like a damn penguin when school starts in a little over 2 weeks, and I'm hoping enough of the painful sensitivity will be gone so I can walk around normally and participate in sports everyday during lunch, sleep normally and comfortably, and whenever I go back to have the rest of the foreskin removed once and for all. 

Thank you
Sounds like you already know the answer to make it less sensitive. How about you find something soft to start out with? Feather, cotton ball or something like that. Work your way up from there. Don't know if I would want to wear boxers, sure would allow a lot of movement but then again I don't know if you could tolarate breifs. Wonder to get you through the school day if you could slipp a condom on or use some of that stuff they use to numb gums. I wouldn't want to do that no more than I had to so I could hurry up and get the head use to things. Any of these ideas help?

You must be the luckiest guy in the world. You went to the gallows and the rope broke. You still have the most pleasureful part of your penis for having sex  ------  Your inner foreskin.

You do realize that you would still have the sensitivity problem if it had completely removed?

Now, most circed guys are not sensitive because it has been forced to rub on everything forever ---- without a break.

All those things you are doing are just making it worse or take longer to become desensitized. What you need to do is clean it off really well, pull your foreskin all the way back, and start touching it.

You are not subject to infections or germs because you still have most of your foreskin, that's internet BS.

Were you washing off the smegma before you got the slit? If your frenulum is a problem later you can have it removed.

Here's what I did.

I knew the guys who were circumcised had no problem having theirs touched. When I was young several of us used to get together to masturbate and of course we tried doing each other. I was super surprised when I found the kid who was circed wanted me to rub his bare head.

I figured his was not sensitive because it had been uncovered all his life so it was used to being touched from rubbing on his underwear and him touching it. So all I should need to do was force mine to get used to that too.

Of course when I pulled back my foreskin it was damp and sticky. That made touching it even more painful so I figured I needed to clean it well and dry it off. I tried washing with soap and water but it was still just not quite dry enough. Next I tried cleaning it with rubbing alcohol using a cotton ball soaked in it. That is what really worked well. It feels cold at first followed by a warm tingly feeling. After it dries the skin is so dry and smooth you can slide your fingers smoothly over it without them sticking at all. That allowed me to touch it all over as gently as I needed, to begin getting it used to being touched.

It is still sensitive but you just have to keep doing it as much as you can stand and eventually it will get so you can touch it just like touching any other part of your body. It does take time, like weeks or months depending on how much you do it. After all the kid who was circed has had his rubbing on everything for years, without a break. It also depends on how your glans responds. We're not all the same.

The more I touched it the more I wanted to. Touching and rubbing it became very pleasureful and I always ended up masturbating. That gave me a reason to want to do it more often. Since I desensitized it I have never used any lube while masturbating because it feels sooooo good to hold my foreskin back as tight as I can and dry rub the whole thing. I don't slide the foreskin up and down either.

Hi, please wait some weeks before you decide masturbate or have sex. (Are you sexually active?)

I didn't have a problem with smegma before I got the dorsal slit, it's a new thing. And I know that if I got fully circ'd it would still be sensitive, I just don't like the look of the dorsal slit and I dont want to be at risk of the frenulum ripping.


So what you're saying to get rid of the paining sensitivity is to use rubbing alcohol? And rub it with like a cotton ball or the ear thing I used?

And to answer the guest's question; no, i am not sexually active

Thanks for your answer.  Did you masturbate after you got circumcised?

Don't rub it with the alcohol, use it to clean it so there is no oily stuff left on it and let it dry. Then you can slide your fingers over it without them sticking to it. They will slide over it smoothly which is just right to lessen the pain of touching it.

So soak the cotton ball with rubbing alcohol and then like gently wipe the glans with it? then once it dries then use my fingers to rub it?



and guest, no, I havent, but I do get a couple of erections now and again.

You got it. You can touch as lightly as you want and as much as you want. If it's too much, see if you can find some soft flannel or something like that to rub it with to start. Then work up to using your fingers.

Alright, you'll usually have erections and feel desires to masturbate but try to contain that desires and please wait some weeks before beginning to masturbate.
