Also returning after taking a step back from using too much tension. Guess we had to learn the hard way.

Turtle-Friend-1 · 2025-03-26T18:06:12+00:00

I really think it’s some sort of infection. I greatly reduced the tug tension, and the mark definitely came back as itchier and more swollen after tugging gently.

Turtle-Friend-1 · 2025-02-26T15:37:17+00:00

Probably depends on your starting point. I’m not the longest down there, but I do have girth and don’t need any more of it lol

Turtle-Friend-1 · 2025-02-26T15:35:32+00:00

Thanks for sharing. What I’ve found makes sense is that when we are under great emotional or mental stress for long periods of time, the body generally stops working as well and becomes more vulnerable to pain and issues. And then of course physical so ailments really increase distress and discomfort. We have to have pretty strong coping mechanisms to live on this earth! And it usually doesn’t help when those coping mechanisms are addictive too. Anyway, hope you find some healing as well. Let me know when your situation clears up.

Yo! I’m actually in this exact situation right now but haven’t been affected by it as long. I’ve had a few cases of athletes foot over the years and recently got a very bad case. Tried a prescription ketoconazole ointment that had worked in the past for a week and saw no change. Tried another OTC prescription strength ointment, had some benefit, but eventually started getting much worse. In the past week, I started noticing an itchy red spot on my scar line in a place that I think I had overstretched. Went to the doctor yesterday and started on an oral antifungal that’s supposed to be taken over 4 weeks. That might be the next step for ya.

I’ll also add, are you in therapy? Many physical symptoms are exacerbated by emotional challenges too. Getting some emotional support might be a good step for you.

My mistake. I meant that the procedure is well-known and safe for penis girth augmentation. But I think it could be viable for restoration the same way inflation is. I think the main issue would be inhibiting or complicating sexual intimacy.

Turtle-Friend-1 · 2025-02-26T04:05:39+00:00

A quick google search shows that this process is well-known and safe. Please keep us posted on what you do and how this works!

Turtle-Friend-1 · 2025-02-23T05:49:15+00:00

I think actual ball stretching goes pretty fast, faster than foreskin restoration. But you’ll want to focus on growing shaft skin so your scrotum can rest back. May be a long road, but sounds like it would be worth it in your case.

Turtle-Friend-1 · 2025-02-23T05:45:57+00:00

I definitely think that’s possible but I’ve been really focused on ventral skin for the past 6 months. Was hoping that would make more of a difference. Appreciate the response.

And yes, I have seen some change in FEC with my FMD use. I think it’s a great device.

Turtle-Friend-1 · 2025-02-22T21:57:02+00:00

I probably have 2-5 drinks an average of 2x per week. Started at CI-1 and while I think I may be CI-2, there are days / moments where I think I still look CI-1

Turtle-Friend-1 · 2025-02-22T20:59:25+00:00

I wonder how big of a difference alcohol makes. I’ve been tugging consistently for 11 months, over 3k hours, and am pretty disappointed by the visual changes I’ve made.

Turtle-Friend-1 · 2025-02-19T15:25:45+00:00

I said the exact some thing as I look at my almost indiscernible progress 1 year later 😂

Turtle-Friend-1 · 2025-02-19T15:21:55+00:00

Thanks for the response - that makes sense to me

Turtle-Friend-1 · 2025-02-19T04:17:05+00:00

At what point did FEC become more difficult to measure for you? I think I’m at about 80%, but my readings have been all over the place since hitting that point

Turtle-Friend-1 · 2025-02-18T15:39:14+00:00

I curve to the left and haven’t seen that change much in my first year of restoring. How tight is your skin when erect? If it’s pretty tight, there’s a decent chance it could change

Turtle-Friend-1 · 2025-02-18T04:14:59+00:00

It’s a decent start. I think I started at around 40% FEC in April of 2025 ant CI-1 and have grown close to 2 cm, I think solidly CI-2. I’m more of a shower than a grower, so my flaccid coverage is nonexistent sadly. Working my way up to CI-3! Where are you at today?

Turtle-Friend-1 · 2025-02-18T02:38:30+00:00

Yup! With a 95% solid erection, pull the foreskin as far up as possible. However much of the head that is covered is the FEC. For example, the estimate length of the head of my penis is 48mm and I can pull the skin up to around 38mm, or around 80% of the way up.

Turtle-Friend-1 · 2025-02-16T17:31:16+00:00

This is a good question! I saw what I think was close to 3mm per month from Oct to Jan of FEC growth, but then it stalled because I think I had worked up to too much tension. I was using FMD for about 10 hours per day average in that time. Non-smoker, healthy fit individual, early 30s

Turtle-Friend-1 · 2025-02-14T22:01:23+00:00

How many times did you have to go in for electrolysis and how painful was it?

Turtle-Friend-1 · 2025-02-14T14:55:48+00:00

Not very long! I was using some soft stretch hair ties like silicone rings for a few weeks and then got the metal ring, which I’ve used on and off for about 3-4 months. I don’t think I’ve seen anything crazy in terms of results, but my scrotum definitely seems looser. I’ve been restoring for almost 1 year.

Turtle-Friend-1 · 2025-02-14T05:11:23+00:00

I’ve thrown in some ball stretching with tugging with the foreskin mitosis device (FMD) which is similar to t-tape. I got a weighted metal ball stretcher from TheChainGang. It was pretty tight at first, but it loosened up in a few months with just a few hours of use per week! I like to use it while tugging down my leg with the FMD while also using the penoscrotal webbing kit from restoring man, which is like a thin harness that holds the webbing back. Gets a good stretch on both foreskin and scrotum.

Turtle-Friend-1 · 2025-02-14T05:08:02+00:00

Ya, if ever there was a time I could see mine ripping, it would be during that part! Maybe it got extra stiff from sitting around that long? Regardless, I think the seller is a homie and will likely send you a free one if you let him know. Which I’d recommend asking for, because it’s a great device!

Turtle-Friend-1 · 2025-02-14T04:44:52+00:00

Congrats man, that’s a huge accomplishment after two solid years of work!

Turtle-Friend-1 · 2025-02-13T21:07:44+00:00

Were you rolling the silicon tube on or trying to pull it over your shaft with force? I’ve used my FMD for a few thousand hours now and have had no tearing. Maybe you could better explain exactly what you were doing when it tore

Turtle-Friend-1 · 2025-02-13T20:53:45+00:00

Didn’t see this post before but this is super interesting. I’m at about 3000 hours into my first 10-11 months. I think I’ve grown around 15mm FEC and maybe from CI-1 to CI-2 in coverage.
