JCC OZK's Foreskin Restoration Progress Thread

TMI

But it is my fault for clicking on this thread in the first place.

 

Paraphimosis.

 

Have you thought about asking a priest to lay hands on your penis make you whole again, OZK? I can't imagine God would allow anyone to suffer like you have.

 

oh, I don't know...we could marry it to JediKitty's Period thread and shop it around.

 

I was going to make a silly Friends reference here, but I'll leave this to the medical professionals. There's always plastic surgery as a last resort, you know. If you can afford it.

 

Why ruin a perfectly good head (I'm assuming) with more skin? Just because the anteater look is natural doesn't make it more aesthetically pleasant to look at.

 

Tunick. Trim your beard first and then make that post.

 

I trimmed it back in February.

 

Me too!

 

Aw damn. I'm sorry.


Just so we're clear, I'm okay with circumcision if there's a medical indication (like otherwise untreatable paraphimosis). European doctors, I trust, are far more likely to do conservative treatment rather than chop right away.

Ruin it? "More skin"? I'm just trying to regain the skin that was cut off. Intact penises are far more aesthetically pleasing anyway.

I don't know why a mutilated penis is considered to look better. The artists of old pretty much all preferred to portray it as natural.

Cut penises have a gross, dried out look.

 

Well, on the aesthetics, we'll have to agree to disagree.

 

The damage to your nerves was already done with the initial circumcision, so you won't get your original sensitivity back either way. It's only for appearance's sake. What's the point of going to all the trouble? Although, I suppose it will make it easier for you to masturbate.

Oh...

 

This reminds me of that scene from Europa, Europa

 

1.) Since there is already TMI in this thread, I haven't masturbated in nearly three years and don't foresee starting again anytime soon. However it would be better with a foreskin, yes.
2.) Another sexual function is the gliding action of the foreskin in intercourse. Restoration will regain this.
3.) The nerve endings are already lost, yes, but I can restore much of the mucosal skin and provide a complete mucosal covering for my penis, which will protect my glans. This will result in increased sensitivity on the tissue I have remaining.
4.) Why do women who get mastectomies have breasts constructed for them? It's only for appearance. Feeling that one possesses a whole body is important psychologically. That's another reason to do this.

There are clearly benefits to restoring. Even so, that's my choice to make, and it's not an unreasonable one for me to want to regain some of what I've lost. Circumcision was a choice made against my will. Restoration is a choice that I'm making for myself. I'm not forcing anyone else to, and I'm not forcing anyone else to pay attention to my restoration. That's all on Luke.

 

I didn't actually think you were doing it to make masturbation easier, that was just my lame attempt at being funny at the end there. But I was just curious as to why you would see it worth it to go through with it, when what I would see as the primary motivator is lost, and you answered it adequately.

 

Haven't masturbated in almost 3 years? Good grief.

 

Yeah, Paul, just keep telling yourself you haven't masturbated in three years when you admit to regularly stretching the skin on your penis.

 

isn't there some sheath that simulates a foreskin, like neuticals for dogs? why not use that?

 

Once I've restored enough to keep it partially covered all the time while flaccid, I'll probably have to get something to cover it as it apparently gets really sensitive and hurts a ton if anything so much as brushes it.

 

You should make a poll about foreskin coverage to see where everyone falls on the foreskin coverage index. I'm between a CI-3 and CI-4

 

There is zero advantage to circumcision.

1. Penis related medical conditions are extremely rare in any case.
2. Reduced sensitivity. Also, the mechanics of sex change from gliding to friction.
3. Babies feel pain, and can't choose for themselves.
4. Foreskins are easy to clean.
5. Cosmetics is a bull**** argument. If anyone is concerned about the beauty of their own or someone else's genitals, they've got serious issues.

Won't listen to me? How about a couple of semi-celebrities?

 

I don't see why anyone would need more sensitivity.

 

And we, as people discussing penises on a goddamn Star Wars message board, certainly have the high ground on the mental health front.
