Device to expand the foreskin and avoid adult circumcision?

Answer 1

LOL. Circumcision is a procedure that's becoming extinct, it was on CNN, MSNBC, and all the major news outlets earlier this week. The USA is the last advanced nation doing it to many newborns, but even our rates have fallen to as low as 14% in some states (like in Nevada). And now that studies have proven that circumcision negatively affects sensitivity and masturbation, I expect that it'll only continue falling.

So I guess Europeans and Japanese people are savages according to the previous poster. A foreskin is clean if you shower and wash it when you shower (just like any other part; takes nothing to do that).

I posted this in another thread, but it should help (sorry if it's out of context).

Some may say that circumcision will fix it, but circumcision's risks include reduction in sensitivity and pleasure, and making masturbation more difficult according to studies (including a few new ones from a few months ago). Oddly enough that's how it was promoted in the USA since masturbation was bad, haha. There's a reason why the USA is the last remaining advanced nation still doing it, and even so, it's getting a lot less popular (it's now as low as 14% in some states). Save that as a last resort, as you're doing. That's only one of the few risks, there's more listed here, in addition to the studies and statistics:

I was the same when I was younger, and now it slides fine with no problems whatsoever. Just pull back your foreskin when you shower the most you can without forcing it, and rub the head. That should encourage it to separate from the head. This is probably all you have to do, since this is common especially with teens. You just haven't 'used' it enough, as in masturbation and washing it. The same goes for sensitivity; the more your rub it the less sensitive it'll get (start using water when you shower then rub a little more each day).

And if its rather tight, you can get a cream that works in almost 95% of cases. It's 0.05% betamethasone or betamethasone dipropionate. And unlike circumcision it is very cheap ($12 in the USA), painless, and you don't risk decreasing sensitivity/pleasure and making masturbation more difficult.

Try that cream. It works. Doctors often just mention circumcision since its a surgery that brings a lot of money to them, especially in the USA.

Answer 2

If you're suffering from phimosis (a tight foreskin), there are so many treatments that you can not only easily avoid a circumcision, but you don't even need to use a device to expand the foreskin.

The first thing you should try are stretching exercises. See link 1 for good and detailed instructions on what to do. Do these exercises for a few minutes each day for a few weeks to a month, preferrably right after a shower/bath when the foreskin's most flexible.

If that doesn't seem to work after a month, ask a doctor about certain prescription creams that'll help loosen the foreskin. In one study, these creams are the most cost-effective treatment a doctor can provide (link 2, names of creams in one of the tables).

Both of these treatments may take up to a month to get the full effect, but if you combine the creams and the stretching exercises it usually goes faster. In almost all cases of phimosis these 2 treatments or a combination of these 2 are all that's necessary.

See the remaining links for more info on phimosis and good luck with whatever you try.

Answer 3

You definitely do not want to be circumcised -- only "savages" do that. ;-) It's also painful and has a negative effect on sexual functioning.

You really don't need a device. Just gently stretch it, pulling the sides just to the point where it just starts to feel uncomfortable. Hold for 10-15 second, let go, and then after a short rest repeat. It's easiest if you do it in a warm bath the first time. Later go through the whole routine again, using a little lotion or oil as lubricant.

If that doesn't work after stretching several times a day for a month, ask your doctor for some hormone cream to help. That is almost always effective.

Answer 4

best device is one finger on each hand inserted under the foreskin and gently pulled outward. Pull just until you feel discomfort, hold for a minute, release; repeat 8 or 10 times. Do this 3 or 4 times a day.

Answer 5

How old are you?
This is important.

"One may expect 50 percent of ten-year-old boys; 90 percent of 16-year-old boys; and 98-99 percent of 18 year-old males to have full retractable foreskin. " [ http://www.cirp.org/library/treatment/phimosis/ ]

"Topical steroid ointment is now the treatment of choice for phimosis, due to low morbidity, lack of pain or trauma, and low cost." [ http://www.cirp.org/library/treatment/phimosis/ ]
"Reports in the medical literature from Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Italy, France, Australia, Serbia, and the United States have demonstrated the efficacy of topical steroid ointment in the relief of preputial stenosis in boys. The application of steroid ointment to the foreskin has the effect of accelerating the normal growth and expansion of the foreskin that occurs over several years and which usually results in the spontaneous relief of the non-retractile condition. Narrow foreskins usually eventually widen without treatment.

The treatment is non-surgical. There is no trauma and no surgical risk. The treatment is inexpensive. The foreskin and all of its protective, erogenous, sensory, and sexual physiologic functions are preserved. A success rate in the range of 85-95 per cent is reported. Treatment of narrow non-retractile prepuce with topical steroid ointment is now recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics"

Alternatively, you may pull the skin back until you feel a stretch but not to the point of pain. This will cause it to expand naturally over time.

Answer 6

why, there are so many benefits to circumcision. Foreskin is not clean. Only savages have them
