Hey all, thought I’d post another update (tryna post every day until I get the ring off). I’m finally back on my feet after a day in bed, I’m loving the new look more and more as time goes on. I’m proud of my new Willy and I’m excited to get to play with it when it’s all healed. So excited that I’ve been plagued with boners that make it sting 😂. It’s not the worst in the world and I’m almost used to the pain at this point. Still keeping it covered, and the fren is healing well. Wish me luck!
Hey everybody, posting this for my boy friend. My boyfriend has been having a lot of problems with his dick, basically friction problems, can’t retract the foreskin when he’s hard, really red tip after sex, and now new friction issues on the shaft. Just a sensitive dick. Obviously I don’t know much about dicks.
I think that he needs to get circumcised but we’re both just wondering how to go about that? Insurance will cover a circumcision I’m sure? Who does he have to see first to do a consultation and what kind of facility will do a circumcision? I doubt it’s an overnight stay haha. Help! We’re ignorant!
had my circ 2 weeks ago and post op recovery is so bad, i even had pus in stitches, my doctor pierced my cock, and get off this shit, right now i’m still recovering, but there is still a question, i soooo want to wank,
Hi friends -
I’m going back to work on Tuesday (will be day 10 for me). Luckily I have an office job where I sit most of the day, but I also need to dress business casual. Pants that fit, button up shirt. I’m trying a quick grocery run today (currently sitting in my car), and I notice that the discomfort while walking is really not great, and I can’t look normal while walking. Any strategies you use/used when getting used to regular clothes and public movement again? I’m really nervous for Tuesday. Im nervous to walk into this store in a sec (though driving here, being outside the house, felt nice) 😬
Circumcised for phimosis at age 26. 4 months post op and I can't get myself to touch/rub the glans. Still not used to seeing my penis like this, and it feels like im touching someone else's. The pain I felt fresh after surgery was unbearable and I still have dull aches when it rubs against fabric or toilet paper. It also hurts more when wet and when rubbing against my scrotum. I guess what my question is, will the pain eventually turn into pleasure? Or is it just going to be less painful and no pleasure? I feel like I'm going crazy. Please help. Thank you
I notice if i’m done with sex or masturbation, the foreskin below the glans(where the cut was) get donut swelling for a while even the penis itself is already soften down.
Like i get this donut swelling where the cut was after fapping. It stay swelling for sometimes before get back to normal.
This is 1.5 year post-op. Anyone else have notice this?
I was being patient before thinking negatively but now that I've completed 5 weeks of healing, feel mostly better, and have got to see some of my erections I'm starting to feel worried that the doctor took away too much skin.
First, I am a grower, I can be around 3-4 inches flaccid, and go up to around 7 when erect. Next, the doctor seemed to cut me right where I barely have extra skin when flaccid, especially on the bottom side. If I have a semi-erection there are no wrinkles usually.
Also, to get a full erection was uncomfortable and tight at first but now I can do it when my scrotum is hanging loose, as my penis will "borrow" skin from it. Now these erections dont look too irregular, maybe some webbing but a doable amount I can work with or that will be flattened out during sex.
But, when my scrotum is tight it offers less skin for the penis to borrow so it pulls the penis into a downward curve, that trying to straighten out is very uncomfortable.
Did the doctor mess up, or is 5 weeks still too early to assess? Also if anyone experienced the same thing let me know what you did or how long it took to get better.
It's finally happening. After living with phimosis for a year, I'm scheduled for surgery to address it and hopefully resolve the issue. I'm nervous, but I know it’s something I need to do. In Québec’s public health system—at least in my area—you don’t get to choose the type of procedure you’ll receive, which I only recently learned. However, I plan to discuss this with the surgeon during my morning consultation.
I’ve heard mixed experiences from others: some say the recovery is quite painful, while others found it manageable. It seems to vary from person to person. For those who’ve had smooth recoveries, what routines or treatments (creams, antibiotics, bandages, etc.) helped you heal faster? I’d really appreciate any advice—feel free to share here or send me a DM. Thank you in advance for your responses and support!

Hello I get my dorsal Slit cut yesterday the doctor just cut it without anesthesia and let the wound Open he just pulled the Foreskin back and did a Bandage around it. How do I clean it it ? It is a Open wound I was on the toilet and its a big wound so I Hope it doesnt Infekt with anything. I will keep you Updated.
I've just turned 40, when erect my foreskin is really tight and the skin under the head of my penis turns white, and it's painful. The doctor has referred me to have it whipped off.
Does circumcision affect penis size? Is it painful? How do you piss? When i pull my foreskin back it's like a high pressure washer!
Circumcised as adult. Anyone got any tips on what kinds of sex/stimulation/positions that feel better after circumcision. Need to change sex a bit to get better stimulation now after my cut and would love to hear if you got any advice. Peace
19M post-op day 23, when flaccid, my donut ring will be covered by leftover foreskin and it is really painful from time to time, I dont know what to do, Already back to work on day 5 but its getting more and more painful. When will life be back to normal? Does anyone have the same problem? Im getting really depressed and even want to start taking drugs just so i can be high all the time to forget about the pain.
Hi guys, this is an issue i’ve been worrying about for quite a lot of time. Basically, 2 weeks post-op I still had a lot of sensitivity. So I went to a nurse at my local GP. The nurse saw what she thought might’ve been an infection where the frenulum was cut. It was a large scab, which I thought would just heal, but she decided we needed to peel it off to see if there was an infection underneath (yes gross but infinitely more painful 💀). She took a swab and gave me some antibiotics in case it was in fact an infection.
A week later she got the results where it showed I had an infection. She took another look and said the infection was healing nicely. By this point the sensitivity was pretty much the same, maybe slightly better. So this was at 3 weeks and 2 days maybe. I’m pretty sure she told me that the infection was the reason my sensitive wasn’t getting better, and once the infection was killed off, it would get better.
This didn’t make any sense to me. Wouldn’t it just have held back the wound healing? Just looking for more opinions I guess. Now, 4 weeks in, the infection looks pretty healed to me. Do you guys agree that once it’s fully healed the sensitivity will finally get better? Right now it’s at a stage it doesn’t hurt to touch, but it does when rubbing, against my underwear for example. I wear tight underwear and some gauze when I go to school and stuff, so my life isn’t really being held back, but it’s not exactly ideal. The wound looks fine, the stitches have pretty much all fallen out. It’s really just the sensitivity at this point. Any thoughts? Or ideas on how I can get the sensitivity down? I know some people might just suggest toughing it out or “manning it up” and wearing the underwear without gauze, but I tried that and I didn’t see improvement.
Thanks for any help 👍
Between days 14 and 15, I was rubbing supiroban ointment after my shower and started noticing the stitches fell off. Removing the bandages, the stitches also got stuck to the bandage, and it wasn't painful to remove. I also the dry skin on my penis much like the crust on a wound has cleared up. Soon, I'll just remove the bandaging and continue with life like that. The skin where the stitches were are still looking fucked up and swollen that will do away soon.
Swelling has gone somewhat down from the left side and the bottom but Im pretty sure I had my first erection last night sleeping and caused a bit bleeding towards the front. Wearing tight underwear for sure helps keeping away a full erection to cause damage. Any thing I should worry about later on down the road?
It's the 11th Day and half the ring has fallen off. Today while cleaning there was a little bit of blood (like a drop or 2) that i saw near the frenulum. Should I be worries? There isn't any pain but sensitivity is taking its own sweet time to go.
