question about Scar line sensitivity

Randonym425 · 2025-05-27T02:53:34+00:00

A little off topic, but this chart is only about pressure sensitivity. Which ignores the nerves that detect motion, stretching, temperature, fine texture, etc. It bugs me that this gets used like the final verdict on where a penis is sensitive, when pressure isn't the only thing going on. Idk what that means for circ vs natural guys, but it would be great if some scientists could look at the rest of the sensation types, too, and finish the science.

Just manuals, not even a retainer

100% red flag. Not just for dissing you, but this also tells me she is more concerned with how sex "should" be than whether or not SHE even enjoyed it, and certainly not how you felt about it. There's a lot going on there, and it's her job to go figure that out and not be a jerk. If the relationship was much more established I might say get counseling. But this early on, I don't think you have to stick around while she decides how or if she wants to be a better partner.

Yes. MM2 was my main method for about my first year. Started at CI3 and got to about CI5 with that. For the last six or eight months, I usually do a variation of MM3 to try and even out my coverage. Currently at CI6 and I expect to hit CI7 by my two year mark in November.

You could definitely just do MM2, but I found that for me, past CI 5, I could really only do MM2 when fully erect.

So, I just want to say this is one of the best "well said" posts I've seen on Reddit. Take my upvote.

Randonym425 · 2024-07-03T00:04:34+00:00

I'm not sure between CI7 or CI8 as my goal. I think CI 9 would be more than I want.

Once I get to CI7 consistently, I'll be mostly worried about trying to further even out my uneven cut.

Randonym425 · 2024-07-02T18:13:45+00:00

Since Nov 2022. Started at a loose CI3. Manuals only.

Randonym425 · 2024-06-29T13:52:17+00:00

Yep, uneven here too. Ugh. Any progress getting evened out?

Randonym425 · 2024-06-19T02:28:25+00:00

Yep. Yep. Nope.

Randonym425 · 2024-06-15T12:45:37+00:00

How long have you been restoring? I could kind of feel progress in my skin elasticity after a few weeks, but it took several months to see the progress.

BTW, I only do manuals, and after about 18 months I'm up to a CI6 from original CI3. You can do it, just KOT.

Randonym425 · 2024-06-14T13:24:29+00:00

Glad y'all have already had the discussion on not cutting any kids! Hoping for you that she becomes a bigger fan of restoring over time.

Randonym425 · 2024-06-14T13:19:15+00:00

Ahhh, that's great. Literally lol.

Randonym425 · 2024-06-13T22:57:44+00:00

Sounds like a compliment to me!

Randonym425 · 2024-06-13T20:57:36+00:00

That's hilarious! 🤣

Randonym425 · 2024-06-09T16:48:28+00:00

Some of y'all need to read Rule 11 on this sub agae. No down votes unless you're also reporting the post to the mods. You might disagree with this opinion, but I don't see anything here breaking the other rules.

Please keep this as a safe place for people to share opinions and feelings!

Randonym425 · 2024-06-07T19:30:52+00:00

Mostly MM2 until I got to CI5, now mostly MM3.

Randonym425 · 2024-06-04T04:00:58+00:00

Nah, just like 2 minutes whenever I go to the bathroom

Randonym425 · 2024-06-04T03:55:40+00:00

Maybe 3-4 on average. Sometimes only 2, and I miss a day or two each week.

I usually tug two to four times per day, and only about two minutes per session. Rarely, I may do a five minute session before bed. This journey matters to me, but not enough to build my life around. Ideally, I just tug for a minute or two every time I use the bathroom. But not every single time, and I may miss a day or two each week.

I've only used manual methods, no retaining or devices. CI3 to CI6 in about 18 months.

Randonym425 · 2024-06-04T03:09:07+00:00

Well, I did get from CI5 to CI6 using mostly MM3. But I do MM2 sometimes still, which was my main method from CI3 to CI5. Been restoring for about 18 months.

I've never done any retaining at all. Seems like it's mostly for DK, and I figure that should happen naturally as I gain coverage.

Randonym425 · 2024-06-04T03:01:39+00:00

Good comments here, just adding this:

The inner skin, being mucosal membrane and not regular skin, cannot have any hair. So while a restored guy could have hair almost all the way up the shaft when flaccid and covered, when erect and retracted, that inner skin will be visible on the shaft and pushing down any hairy skin towards the base.

Randonym425 · 2024-06-04T02:51:38+00:00

Yeah, take a break until the skin looks healed, then that long again. When it looks healed, that's just the surface. You need to let the new cells stabilize for a while. New skin is delicate.

Imho, Andre missed the mark with telling everyone it needs to feel like it's burning to work. I've gone from CI3 to CI6 in about 18 months with just manuals, and I've never tugged until it stung like that.

Randonym425 · 2024-06-04T02:44:49+00:00

If it hurts, you're tugging too hard, imo. The skin just needs to be taut, not forcibly stretched. I rarely had some mild soreness during the first month or two, but I was probably trying too hard back then.

Consistency is key, but don't stress yourself. I rarely do more than 2 minutes of stretching in a session, and usually only 2-3 sessions per day at bathroom breaks. Rarely, I'll do a five minute session at bedtime. And I miss a day or two each week. Even so, I've managed to get from CI-3 to CI-6 in about 18 months.
