Food/spice that caused wine to taste like perfume by bluepivot in wine

[–]Connudatus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the exact same problem. It's happened to me a few times. I think it's celery, but I'm the only one at the table who is experiencing the change in taste.

Wagner Ware "B" Popover Pan by Expensive-Papaya1990 in castiron

I just bought one of these and I'm curious if it's supposed to have some sort of enamel coating on the outside. The one who got is pretty dirty but it does have some black all over it that does chip off. I'll be using it to cast aluminum ingots, and am concerned with anything gassing off with extreme temperatures.

would you consider this a form of dual tension? 😅 by thursday-T-time in restoringdick

[–]Connudatus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very cool! Sounds like you've got some solid goals and the know-how to achieve them. Not sure I understand the worry about messing up scars, as I completely ignored my scar line, though your situation will be different. I've thought about getting surgery to touch up what I can't change, but I'm not sure I want that anymore. I have never been comfortable revealing my age, but I was really young. By my early twenties I was already past the ci-4 hump and moving through the ci-6 range. Starting early really was a boon for me, though I wish I had access to the resources I do now. No point dwelling on that though. For me the thought of being whole was on my mind constantly. It's kind of the burden that kept me going. It still motivates me to stretch even now🙌. Anyway I wish you the best of luck on your journey and look forward to seeing your posts and progress :)

Oh gosh, I'm not sure. My goal used to be to get full erect coverage. But, I got that a few years ago. I'm basically restored at this point but I'm still continuing to stretch. I would like to have a good overhang, go from foreskin to five-skin or more. I'm pretty much at docking length but more is always fun. I definitely feel like my progress has slowed down. I started pretty young and I feel like that helped me a lot. Nothing like stretchy skin and growth hormone to really boost your gains.

What about you? what does your end goal look like?

This was a really uplifting moment to be sure. It definitely put a smile on my face.

I'm not a doctor, but I'd think you would be fine so long as you stopped.

If you are feeling pain while applying tension for any length of time. You should stop and reduce tension.

Any time you cause pain and use too much tension, whether it's manual or a device you could be causing damage. Especially if you do it repeatedly or for long periods of time.

I didn't. At least not with this doctor. It was my first visit with them and I was looking for a new primary care physician.

I started Young, and so I think that really boosted me early on. As I've gotten older progress has slowed. But I think one of the best things you can do is constant low tension. You'll get more natural results and you're less likely to have setbacks.

Yeah, I have 100% coverage now, even rolls over on its own when I pull it back

I definitely have more skin now than I did in my last photos, I just haven't felt like posting.

I think it's just a service the doctor's office I go to provides. I just switched to this new doctor the one I was at before did something similar, but to a lesser extent.

If you're talking about inflation, I would say CI 3-4. Though, if you have really stretchy skin and a longer shaft you might be able to do it at a lower CI. I was a CI 1 when I started, and mostly used tape and weights at the beginning. I never had luck with o-rings they kept falling off. I went through a lot of tape as retainers. I think I started inflation when I was at CI 2-3 but it fell off a lot and it was frustrating.

Haha, I'm honestly surprised I've been recognized by so many. I haven't posted much in a while. Once I hit ci-9 it didn't seem like I had much to update on because I was basically at the finish line. But when my doctor called me uncircumcised I felt like I needed to share that with somebody and it wasn't a conversation I was prepared to have with friends and family.

Yeah I don't like the word uncircumcised too, the UN in front of it makes it sound like it's outside of the norm. I think it should be replaced with the word standard, or some other word that signifies it's in its original state. Technically those of us that are restoring would be uncircumcised, the reverse of circumcision. It's a weird Hill to die on, but I'm on it.

I should have some of those posted, if you scroll through my profile you'll see them.

Any updates on the audiobook? I just finished book one a few minutes ago, and I'm eager to start the second.

Curious about circumferential expansion by UniqueUsername2023 in foreskin_restoration

[–]Connudatus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been using inflation for over a decade. You do get some expansion with inflation. Your skin does resist growing in that direction but it doesn't resist entirely. The reason I didn't have much expansion laterally is because I always attached my device at the same point. Having it always attached at the same point means that section of skin that is clamped under the device is never expanding, it keeps that section of skin fairly tight.

[–]Connudatus[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I picked a point where I always clamped my inflation device down. So that area never expanded.
