Started restoring, too!!!

Hello Guys!

I'm a 27 years old German guy and started restoring 1 week ago. I ordered the TLC Tugger, and I think that things are going fine until today.
After 4 days I noticed that I put a bit too much tension on the Tugger and had to put some creme on my shaft skin and circ scar. The skin was sore, too and I felt some "pain" while touching it or applying the tugger. But now it's all good again.
Luckily I have a rather loose cut and was always able to pull the rest of the FS over the glans while flacid or halfway over it while erect. The frenulum is still there although it was cut in the middle. But nothing seems to be removed.
I can't wait to see some noticable results, although already now the skin seems to be bulging (I hope that's the word) a bit more behind the glans. And the sulcus now stays covered, too which it didn't do before.

To all you other restorers out there: good luck / viel Glück!!!

thats surprising a European to be cut. I wish u good luck my fellow restorer. However I would highly reccomend manual stretching read the other post on here about manual stretching. You can get some good and fast results from manual stretching.

Hello MrD!

Thanks for the reply and the wishes.
It's true that cut men are rather unusional here in Germany (or even whole Europe). Mine was done because of phimosis, unfortunately.
I already prepared a "plan" how to go on restoring: I want to wear the Tugger during day (from 7 am to 8 pm). In the morning, at noon and in the evening I want do do some manual stretching. Later in the evening I put some creme on my skin and glans to keep it moist (and to support some healing). At night I want to give myself a rest, so I'm just wearing the "upper part" of the tugger to make my foreskin stay in place.
I'm really impatient about all this and can't wait until the first month is over.

Best wishes to you all
Armin

Good luck, Armin! It is definitely worth the effort.

Let me ask you something just out of curiosity. You know that there is still a terrible stigma here in the United States concerning men being uncircumcised. Here in the US, an uncut man is called ugly, dirty, smelly and they claim uncut cocks give women cancer and spread venereal diseases. They also say that there is no difference in pleasure for the male or female. What are the cultural beliefs in your country concerning circumcised and uncircumcised men?

Hello Kong!
Believe me: here in Germany / Europe it's just the other way round. As a cut boy/man you are some kind of an "exotic bird", and the others may probably pick on you.
Some here in Europe (mostly women) may have heard that circumcised cocks are "cleaner" somehow and that cut men can satisfy a woman better than an uncut guy. For my (Ex-)girlfriend I was the first cut man she ever slept with. She liked it (and still does today sometimes ), although she first didn't know how to handle my cut cock manually, and had some inhibitions. With me she could reach orgasm during sex, what she normally couldn't do with her Ex (he was too "fast"). For me, on the other side, it was just hard work to reach orgasm during the act, so this also is one reason why I started to restore the foreskin, to get more sensibility back.
For me circumcision sucks, and I blame the doctor that circed me that he didn't try something else first, prior to circumcision (like stretching or so).
At least german (european) doctors don't seem to cut too much away. I sometimes have the impression that your doctors are really butchering you guys in the States. Seams absolutely unnecessary to me...

But hey, the day will come when we will have your Fauxskins back
Keep on tugging, guys!!!

I think "butchering" is the correct term for what was done to me and much of my generation. I currently have 6.25" of linear shaft skin to cover a cock that is 7.5" long...after restoring for 14 months! I'm still trying to stretch my nutsack down off my shaft.

I get the impression that the younger men on this forum were cut a little looser, though. It seems there is a trend toward looser cuts as the medical establisHydromaxent is being forced to own up to what they have been doing by the grass roots anti-circ movement here. Circ rates in the states are falling from the 90 percentiles the decade I was born down to the current 50-70 percentiles. As restorers continue to get the word out, I hope that we as a nation will fall to European circ rates... and stay there.

There is simply no need to mutilate our genitals, aside from religious beliefs. Phimosis can be cured by stretching. Good hygiene can take care of any health complications like UTIs and HPVs. The purported link between foreskin and cervical cancer can just as easily (and more believably) be attributed to poverty and lack of hygiene and medical care. If you believe that God wants you to mutilate your penis, then by all means, cut it up! Otherwise, our peckers should simply be left alone.

Thanks for sharing with us. Are there any other enlightened Europeans here that could share their country's cultural ideas concerning circumcision with us?

I think you are right Kong, becuase I was very loosely cut. My nuts hang where there supposed to, And I dont have penis curvature of any kind, including turkey neck. I dont have a hairy shaft, or painful erections. The only thing i am missing is a foreskin.
I am just glad people are getting the word out about how badly circumcision is and hopefully the future generations will not be circumcised anymore.

I'm not so sure about that actually, MrD. I'm only 21, and though my circ wasn't enough to make the skin so tight I became curved, it made hair go up the shaft, my balls partially hand off the shaft, turkey neck, etc. I still have most of my frenulum, but other than that I think I was cut somewhat tight, though not compared to some other members. I can't wait until I finish restoring and it's closer to normal and uncut, like it -should- be.

Edit: Actually, I am curved, but I don't know if it's because of my circ. It's a slight downward curve... all it does is make me look smaller than I am, in my opinion.

Im 18, and im just fortuante that i had a doctor who knew not to cut too much off. Even though a lot of my frenalum is gone, I'm not complaining becuase he didnt cut too tightly

Of course it varies from doctor to doctor, but I do see a trend of younger guys being looser cut and better hung than guys my age and older. I go to www.ratemyschlong.com and view the pictures-- not to get off but to PM men there with damaged penises and let them know about FR. It is good to see that most of the younger guys are loose and hanging, because some of the older men are horridly mangled. You should go see for yourself the difference in age and cuts. One poor fellow was cut so tight that it looked like someone had dipped the end of his penis in acid and then lit it on fire. Another had his frenulum excised so deeply there was a wedge cut from the head. It's ghastly and unnecessary and needs to stop!

Hey guys!

As I said before I also don't have a tight cut, but a loose one. And I really start to feel comfortable about the manual tugging thing!
I found these two links on the net which you might find interesting (in case you do not already know about them):

http://foreskinrestorationchat.info/manualtugging.html
http://www.cox-internet.com/dougs_site/AboutMethods.html

Seems to me as if manual tugging is working as well as constant tugging by t-tape or tapeless devices.
I think I will try some kind of combination. And while I'm not tugging (manually or by device) I will put ointment (I hope it's the right word for "Salbe" in german) on my skin to help the skin to heal on the one side, as to support the developing of new cells on the other side.
I thought about "Bepanthen" which you normally use when you have "sport injuries" or other little things like scratches, and you want them to heal fast. What do you think about that?

EDIT: One more thing I would like to know: How much of skin growth can I expect during one month if I do the best restoring I can, and I'm doing it right? You know what I mean? (My english sucks )

wow, That is some good info from the first link, that will realy help me in my exercises. The second link i already know about. But the first link, wow, that is some very helpful info ill put it on my favorites.

Hey, that was a fast reply, Mr.D!
Do you (or someone else) know a good chatroom for talking about foreskin restoration? I really would like to exchange thoughts and ideas...

http://4skin.proboards19.com/index.cgi at the top is a chat room maybe me u and kong can get on there and exchange ideas and stuff

Hey, that sounds great!
I'm 6 hours ahead of you guys (I think), but we sure should find some time so we can chat!
Skype works pretty well, too!
