Dorsal Slit for Phimotic Ring with Frenulum Breve and Veins

Written by michael at 22 Jul 2000 08:32:27:

I've pretty much read all the previous conversations and am trying to put it
all together. Here we have the human penis that comes with this sort of pro-
tective glove which for most fellows is retractable past the glans (head) of
the penis, if it hasn't already been cut back for any along a wide gamut of
cultural reasons. Those who retain this retractable skin I would guess have
long since learned to dutifully carry out some form of regular cleaning
operation. But those of us (a wee tiny minority) without this blessing of
retractability may possibly never entertained any notion of cleaning the
phallus anywhere but on the outside. It's like one of the writers somewhere
(maybe a differnt web site)wrote that he kind of likened what was visible
(the reddish tip) within the hollow of a small foreskin opening, to one's
eyeball. You don't go about washing the eyeball, and little more does one
address the eyelids - the whole area being so delicate. The inside tip of
my penis seemed like something to be left alone - it didn't seem constructed
to tamper with. I assummed that with normal exterior washing the rest would
somehow naturally take care of itself (think of how the ear canal, eyes, and
nose are to a large extent self cleaning);indeed I have never had infections
in 42 years (chlorinated pool H20 helped during years of swimming helped?)
I have fathered 3 boys (all circumcised I must say) so the procreative pur-
pose of the old oak tree has not been in question, though there has always
been minor discomfort in the initial stage of sex - trying to actually make
it inside the vagina cause if the tightness at the penis tip. But once my
wife's own tightness gives way and lubrication begins then we are good to go
(heh,heh) I often reflect on the similarities to my most early sexual unions
because of this element of preventative-like restriction. It's one of the
things that keeps me young of mind in a strange way. But now I am kind of
at a stage where I want to experience what added joys and pleasure may be
experienced with a fully exposed glans - that's right folks I am looking
forward to going for it !! This brings me finally (almost)to my questions.
I have experimented somewhat, and can manage to pull the foreskin back only
far enough to expose a structure about half the tip of your little finger -
that's it - without any pain. At that point there seems to be my first clue
about this frenulum that is supposed to attach the foreskin to some portion
of the glans (to the sulcus?). There seems to be a little ridge of skin
involved right there at the tip and I get the distinct impression that this
frenulum affair is quickly going to prevent my being able to pull back the
foreskin much farther at all. It just really seems to tug up around there
giving a pain to about the same degree as that from pressing a pretty sharp
fingernail into the palm of your hand with a few pounds of force. It is this
pain I feel in the first stage of sex. Pulling it tight like that makes
evident what possibly is this infamous phimotic ring. It basically appears a
little more "reinforced" right at the actual foreskin fold. It is about there
too, under the extra pressure exerted in my little retraction attempt, that I
see quite a lot of vein work. So my questions arenow these:

1) Can these various cortisone creams, while somehow thinning out the foreskin,
have a bad effect on the appreciable vascular network so closely involved ?
2) Can these creams have any loosening or stretching effect on the frenulum ?
3) If a dorsal slit is perfomed to create a relief mechanism to help facilitate
retraction, how is it possible to avoid compromising the frenulum (which I
understand is so chocked full of pleasure nerves, and should be respected at
all costs (For after all, we here in the states may feel entitled to the
pursuit of happiness, you know).
4) Is the slit often made in the dorsal area since the resulting loose tissue
flaps (ostensibly undesirable in appearance) would be less apparent when the
penis hangs in its flaccid state ?
5) Is it within the realm of common sense that the relief cut is normally
made in a dorsal location so that if the frenulum is involved it can be
snipped a bit there so that now all little flaps are simply in a single
area.
6) What is that frenuplasty (I know my spelling is way off here but I can't go
back to check the right way at his point) procedure? I mean is there some
real room for minimalism here (where you can barely notice operative cuts
etc.). Or some creativity in the snipping and stitching that may be involved?
7) Given the fact that the glans itself is covered with some kind of mucosal-
like tissue, how do you get this helmet-like protuberance willing to exist
in the cruel abrasive environment - open hair, rough clothes, etc. - for the
first time in over 40 years ?
8) (6) and (7) having been asked, is there any possibility in this fantastic
technologically miraculous age of ours to install a very thin micro-zipper
so that one could unzip ones foreskin zipper either for sex or for washing
than zip back up? Thus any flaps that may have been a bit unsightly can
be justed zipped shut. Sorta keep the skin fully intact (have cake and eat
it too, if you will)
9) Have any the visitors reading the dialogue in this section, had any
experience, using cream and pull-back exercises, where some ripping or
tearing of the skin occurred? Did you wait for more than a day to heal
up before you tried again? (Or how long?) What about any scar tissue that
could then develop? At what point does elasticity begin to be so compromised
that diminishing returns ensue?
10) Is there any safe tool that a man can use to stretch the foreskin
opening uniformly (around the the circumference) and gradually (over
hours, days, weeks)? I thought I saw some such apparatus in my surfing.
It definitely could make a lot of sense. Certainly there are various
peoples about the world who practice various kind of skin stretching or
hole expanding using some appliance over some appreciable length of time.

(!!) Hey thanks for everyone's time. Please answer what questions you can.
I believe they are all pretty good ones - relevant and haven't really
been raised before. I have visited and tried to deal with a few Urology
groups here in the U.S. midwest and I am not really getting very straight
answers. I hope to arm myself with enough good ideas so that I can
deal with any of medical community proactively and effectively but
tactfully as well. I had conjured up a few notions of documenting my
efforts, in a way that could foster enlightenment. I did call the local
paper at one point but they are not quite ready to bite. So please supply
your best ideas, piecemeal or comprehensively in your responses which I
very greatly appreciate, and look forward to applying towards the pleasures
of lovemaking and providing a decent follow-up here in good time(Thanks).
