> # My Full And Honest Experience With Phimosis

> First, about myself: I am a person who, until the age of 21,
> was suffering with phimosis ("tight foreskin"). A person is
> said to have phimosis if he can't retract the foreskin (the
> skin that covers the glans) all the way behind the glans.

> If you're a person with foreskin problems of your own, you
> very well might be very confused about the whole issue - just

> ever seen a glimpse of my glans, and I didn't even understand what
> a glans was. I didn't understand what I saw in hard porn movies.
> I just understood that my penis was different.

> I saw mine September 9th, 2002 and for the first time someone explained

> over the Internet, which was hopeless, because I wrongly assumed something
> ELSE was wrong with me (more on that later: this is the full story, and
> I'm not hiding ANYTHING, not even my own stupidity!).

> My GP scheduled a foreskin-correction surgery for me. It was NOT

> Still surgery is surgery, and I understood one thing, despite the state
> of utter confusion and manic depression, which is this: my penis would
> look different and quite possibly have different sexual sensations than
> if I never had phimosis in the first place.

> So, there was one thing I wanted more than anything else - to find a way
> to correct my problem in a way that would convice me of this:

> * There would be no difference whether I had phimosis for 21 years or not
> * There would be no difference between my penis and that of majority
> of other European males.

> Today, I am totally convinced that I have achieved my goal, and I am
> here to fulfill my 2-part pledge I gave to Destiny if my wish got fulfilled:

> 1) I'll go to my GP and tell him of an alternative, for many people a better,
> way of dealing with phimosis than the standard surgery responce.
> This I had not yet done, but I will do before the end of 2004

> 2) I would post my story here on ARC Forum2 or any other comparable web page
> about my experience.

> The point to help other people with the same problem as I had, if not for
> the sake of being compassionate, then for the sake of fulfilling my part of
> the contract.

> Enjoy this story!
