> Well, it's your foreskin and your penis and your life, and you certainly need to be in control, to guard your own best interests. I would certainly think, however, that it's past time to take remedial action against the pinhole phimosis, for reasons mentioned in my last letter. Obviously sitting here at my computer I can't talk knnowledgeably for or against circumcision for you, but it would seem that a small dorsal slit at the site of the pinhole probably would be adequqate to relieve the constriction caused by the tiny opening. You can read up on it (dorasal slit) on this forum, & certainly you can get varying opinions about it. I personally don't think a full circumcision would be a bad way to go on this, but inasmuch as it's your life, etc., you're the one to decide how to go. If you can find a competent urologist who's sympathetic to your feelings on this, you can put a quick end to the problem. And certainly the problem ought to be ended, in your best interests. Cheers, RJK.

> >>Bernt, when this is all over and you're fully recovered, how about coming back on line and giving a report about how things went? It might be helpful to others with problems simmilar to yours, or it might just be of general interest to people who want to know how other guys cope with what life has handed to them. Cheers, Bob.
