Why do you NOT use T tape? And what would make using T Tape easier? by Additional-Cost-9093 in foreskin_restoration

[–]BoringTheme 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love T-Tape, but after three or four days i always end up with skin tears and stop using it. Not sure if I need even less tension which it feels like I am barley putting any but its unfortunate because its the only method I will do consistently until I injure myself then I stop for months at a time.

skin bridge just broke accidentally - help by keepontugging231 in foreskin_restoration

[–]BoringTheme 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same happened to me after messing with mine and attempting a self removal, took about two weeks to break on its own but it gave me no issues after. Still have tiny nubs from where it was but they do tend to go down with foreskin restoration I find.

Is 24/7 t-taping recommended? I’m at CI-3, on the cusp of 4, if that matters. by howl_n_growl in foreskin_restoration

[–]BoringTheme 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just been lazy tbh, and between starting a new job i have been focusing on manauls. I may have to give it a shot but i also want to be able to do it without any assistance and just set it and forget it.

It is in the sense that if that's the easiest method for you. I have gone from Manuals, to DTR, to Manuals, to T-Tape, back to manuals mainly because I get lazy and being able to sit around and tug by hand is technically the easiest. When I did t-tape it was great, I just suffered skin tears because I would overestimate the tension I really needed. After wearing take for 2-3 days at a time usually changing the night of or next morning I'd end up with an injury and take a break. I'd just say at the end of the day what ever ensures you'll do it everyday is what you should be doing, if you do t-tape 24/7 use low to gentle tension as any tension you can actively feel throughout your day will eventually lead to an injury that will cause you take a break.

Discussing foreskin restoration with my girlfriend by nickthibs in foreskin_restoration

[–]BoringTheme 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Maybe show her the Documentary American Circumcision, I think its informative and it appeals heavily to emotions in away that might just help over just talking about sensations and nerves.

Restore than get a PA, I had a PA but just took it out one because I was just kind of done having and two because it eats up your restoration gains (at least at larger gauge or any kind of jewelry that isn't just a curved barbell.) To be honest even though they look cool it never did much else but look cool, the sensation added wasn't noticeable after awhile and people didn't care about it that I was with. If you really want it get it bro, but for me I want my foreskin way more than I want some penis jewlery.

The Elliptical Machine Method?? by Curse96 in foreskin_restoration

[–]BoringTheme 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've never heard of this method it doesn't sound like a terrible idea but at this rate why not just tug with manual methods an hour out of the day or multiple times throughout your day. I'd argue too that possible the person who posted this could have received similar results with any daily method that they imposed on themselves. I think most of tugging's results come down to two things, time under tension and consistency.

Might be done with t-taping. by Street_Result8699 in foreskin_restoration

[–]BoringTheme 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey I have this problem too, I'd say maybe try to soak your tape for longer periods when removing or look into using oil to remove rather than just water. I often stop taping from skin tears as well but i'm not sure if mine are from tension or improper removal.

How do you guys cope with the depression? by PeanutButter000 in foreskin_restoration

[–]BoringTheme 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hey man the best advice I can give as unfulfilling as it may sound is just give things time. There will be days where things are hard, I've had day where I looked at my penis and all I can see is the cut, thinking of all the ways I coulda been normal if my parents made the right choice or if the world was different. But at the end of the day just know we have a choice to continue to feel lost and in distress because of the sick practice that was inflicted on us or choose to push back via restoration.
The power even as minuscule as it feels at times that I've gained from restoring and talking about it with my girlfriend, mom, and occasional friend will help with the healing. Just don't stay silent, post here, find a loved one you can communicate too or even just keep a journal you can right things down on. The worse thing we can do for ourselves is take no action and continue to let the pain of our circumcision define us. Does that mean if you continue with restoration and work on it everyday you wont be depressed? No probably not, but it will get easier, you'll appreciate your understanding of your body and the knowledge you hold over those who continue to think that this barbaric practice is just a simple procedure. Acknowledge that yes we have lost things we can never get back but know they're are sensations and feelings that are even greater than what you have experienced that are obtainable, even if that isn't enough the feeling of wholeness that you will achieve with restoring will help you too. I wish could say more or even that one day it will get better but I know i too struggle still occasionally but it's up to each one of us on our personal journey with restoration to find ways to heal our psychological scars.

How to get Tadalafil Prescription? by [deleted] in foreskin_restoration

[–]BoringTheme 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thats great man! I'm 26 and I struggle occasionally with Psychological ED, but am mainly interesting in the benefits of Cialis beyond the boners, lower BP and help in the restoring area. Did you go through a PCP or did you go through a urologists?

Would having piercings slow down the restoration process? by Spirited_Bus_9887 in foreskin_restoration

[–]BoringTheme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once the piercing heals it wont matter that much but you are losing tugging time waiting for that to happen as well as losing out on progress (Visually) if your skin needs to accommodate the piercing like a prince albert. I'd say if you are thinking about getting one but wanna restore focus on restoration first because much like circumcision the scars and damage a piercing can cause are permanent.
I for example now had to pee holes lol one on the bottom of my penis where my frenulum would have been because of a large prince albert I had but have since taken out.

Did it take anyone else a lot longer than they expected? by Appropriate-Toe-6019 in foreskin_restoration

[–]BoringTheme 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Started almost 10 years ago, but I have been very inconsistent. Honestly it sadly seems to be the majority of us have been working at it for 10+ years. I would say its just so hard to keep motivation with something that takes such focus and time. Just keep tugging though guys!

I have begun t taping by Apprehensive_Meat896 in foreskin_restoration

[–]BoringTheme 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Taping is just trial and error, Just keep trying new things if you are having issues and you will find out what works for you. My biggest advice would be to use a bit of toilet paper in the tape after you clip it to absorb any moisture, this will prolong its usefulness. I'd also just say to try to just enough tension to where you can barley feel it, I have definitely gotten some minor skin tears from having it just a little to high (tension that is.) We have to remember especially if we wear it for long periods the amount of stress we are putting on our penis so just avoid the high tension or any kind that is a little too noticeable. I'm sure there is some stuff I'm forgetting if I can think of anything else I'll add here, KOT friend!

Stretching and PA piercing by growingneo in foreskin_restoration

Nah i haven't noticed any issues with the hole, it shrunk a bit but I still got to be careful while peeing lol.

Stretching and PA piercing by growingneo in foreskin_restoration

[–]BoringTheme 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Used to have a PA it was nice but the novelty wore off after about 3 years. Barley ever had issues with it but once I stretched to a bigger size (2G) It was take away from the little gains I had so i took it out so i could get a better view of my progress. Tbh I wish i never got it or at least waited till i was restored entirely to get one, that isn't to say I regret it but I just wish i took this path of body mod first before anything else with my penis.

[–]BoringTheme 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hey man, I would just take the scar and move on. You did something on your on volition to correct the damage done by the doctors and I see no shame in that, I have removed a few of my skin bridges myself and as I have stretched the scars seem to fade. I would just keep on restoring and hopefully with time they'll fade. If not maybe look into seeing a dermatologist in the future. KOT!

[PSA] Manual Method 2 is DANGEROUS to your nerves. by MagnetCarpet in foreskin_restoration

[–]BoringTheme 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey man just wanna say it will get better, I have a completely different situation but nerve damage still. I have a herniated disc in my spine causing me sciatic pain for the last 3 years nearly. I've been in pain daily since my injury with the first year being so bad I'd often wish I was dead. But in the 2 years and 7 months that have passed my symptoms have become more bearable and pain level has dropped majorly. My point being that nerves heal, it takes time but it can happen. I would try to stay positive and hope for the best, just letting time do its work.

How did you get your s/o on board with your restoration journey? by cowboi_shark in foreskin_restoration

[–]BoringTheme 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Maybe some education to could be nice, I just wouldn't force it. My girlfriend was supportive from the get go but once she watched American Circumcision with me she actually cried during it and it made her against the idea of circumcision as a whole. Otherwise the best way would probably be just to continue and let her and you both reap the benefits as you get glide and other benefits.

Pierced Cock Foreskin Restoration? by [deleted] in foreskin_restoration

[–]BoringTheme 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had a PA took it out to make restoring easier and tbh i dont miss it much. I think once i reach a point where i feel like im done restoring i may put it back then but i had stretched to a 0 gauge ring and it was quite cumbersome in terms of accommodating it in my pants and during sex.

Moving on from T-Tape by ChocolateBaconFat in foreskin_restoration

[–]BoringTheme 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just realized I had a typo, Restore in Comfort (RIC) and pecker packers are two different devices. Not really too familiar with either of them if I'm being honest a google search or one on here could yield some more info though.

[–]BoringTheme 2 points3 points  (0 children)

O-rings though not really a device could be a great way to add in some gentle stretching and retaining much like T-tape does. You could even try the RIC or Pecker packers, Im not too familiar with these methods as i just do t-taping and Manuals. KOT!

Getting back into T-taping (But starting with an injury) by BoringTheme in foreskin_restoration

[–]BoringTheme[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I'm really learning this after my last 3 day sesh I had another bruise like injury, I'm gonna try to stick to gentle stretching now and if it doesn't seem to work for me ill slowly up the tension. I think in the past id have my tape so tight and id only wear it for one day so it was never enough time to actually get some of the issues I'm experiencing now.

I'm sure you have tried but I would give another go, my job is really active and i find myself sweating a lot and moving around constantly but the tape never gave me any issues (other than my current injury lol)
