# Re: phimosis: my story and questions Written by Gustavo at 23 Jun 2005 21:45:00: As an answer to: Re: phimosis: my story and questions written by Nick at 21 Jun 2005 15:44:15: Thanks for your detailed reply. > You most certainly were born with Phimosis. Ok. I just thought that phimosis was not necessarily caused by "phimotic ring". From what you described on the site, phimotic rings are tough white tissue, and I find it hard to imagine that every uncircumcised man would have such a tissue (i.e. in most men, a wide ring). Btw, would you have any idea why I don't see the white stuff in my phimotic ring? I do see tiny ridges, though. >Whilst many babies are born with > infant adhesions, these usually free themselves in the early stages of > childhood.

Ok. So not all babies are born with pinhole phimosis? >There are many differing opinions on why some babies are born > with this condition, some people believe that it is mother natures way of > inhibiting some members of the population from successfully reproducing and > therefore reducing the competition for reproductive supremacy amongst a > community of mammals. He. It's certainly not getting in the way of my sex life, although I imagine it could if I didn't use lubricated condoms. > As for stretching, indeed another question which I believe has not been > answered for definite.

Maybe > you have an opinion on this? Do you know if there exists a stretching device that would fit under the phimotic ring and make pressure outwards? Preferably a hollow, expandable ring. I've seen Glansie, but it looks like a pair of crucible tongs, which seems uncomfortable and I think you need to hold it.
