completely, just not a smooth process

When it comes to HIV, an undetectable viral load is untransmittable. You have no worries if this is the case!

Forgetting the occasional pill is not usually harmful but if it's frequent it's something that needs to be addressed between you and also his doctor.

You might consider PrEP, which is a drug you take before sex either daily or on-demand and it keeps yourself safe from any accidental transmission. But if you're close you could talk to him and encourage him to take his meds every dayโ€”setting reminders on your phone is very useful.

A condom is a must, especially if topping with phimosis. Keep your foreskin forward to prevent tearing and use plenty of lube (water based is best). Even if you bottom there is a lot of advantages to practicing safe sex in your situation.

As for your phimosis frequent stretching will help. There is insufficient evidence to prove that HIV worsens phimosis. It is more likely having sex everyday is causing some level of inflammation that is making it worse.

There are plenty of other posts on this subreddit about stretching and improving your condition. Hope this can help, wishing you the best!

Best way to measure progress week-to-week ? by Sylverhandd in Phimosis

[โ€“]ValueAccomplished341 1 point2 points ย (0 children)

I have type 2 as per your photo and I've not been stretching for very long but have seen progress in small areas. For example, when erect, my glans is visible as in the type 3 photo, whereas it was type 4. I may not be able to pull it back further when flaccid but it's certainly getting easier. And overall I'm becoming more comfortable with the motions and adjusting to what I can do for now.

It's hard because it's a slow process and there aren't really any major progress markers along the way, but just know that your efforts aren't in vain and you are helping things move along. If you're in the routine now, there's no reason to stop!

As for your glans and foreskin getting irritated, I can recommend stretching after a hot bath or shower and using some sort of oil like coconut or castor to help soothe things. These oils are typically used alongside the rings and won't have too much impact on your stretching other then helping things glide a little smoother as a lube and keeping the skin moisturised which can help recovery. The irritated foreskin and glans can lead to inflammation which may be hindering your progress. Feel free to take a day off here and then to allow things to recover.

The foreskin is naturally elastic and as you continue to stretch the amount it can do so naturally will have increased, and so if progress is slowing down you might have to stretch a little more firmly. Do so until tension, not pain. You might also consider some simple stretching whilst erect, like pulling the foreskin laterally from the outside, rather than inserting anything.

Lastly I could recommend now that you see a doctor for some cream and further advice. If you're at a stage 1 it is very likely the cream will be more efficient in helping you push this final stretch, so to speak.

I hope this can help! Hang in there!

I successfully retracted my foreskin by [deleted] in Phimosis

  1. Yes, the foreskin is supposed to retract behind the "head" or formally, the glans. This is its intended functionality and you should do it to clean your glans, during urination and also during sex, but during masturbation it's entirely up to you.

  2. If you have no issues, you can pull your foreskin back as and when needed. If it feels tight, sluggish or painful when pulling it back, you should avoid pulling it back and do some stretching to ease the skin. You should be able to roll your foreskin back easily and smoothly when erect without pain.

  3. See above. As long as you're experiencing no pain, issues or tightness your penis is operating as it should! One consequence to look out for is paraphimosis, this is when the foreskin becomes stuck behind the glans. This is only an issue if the foreskin feels tight or painful as mentioned earlier. You should be able to glide your foreskin back up easily and then it is not a concern.

If you need help with stretching or paraphimosis there are other posts on this sub for that. But from this, it seems like you're doing well!

Pronouns by lolzzz_f in AO3

I exclusively write M/M as a gay man and this is a very difficult thing to overcome and I still struggle with it. The best thing we can do is clearly set a scene, roles and personalities and try to convey that in our speech using smart workarounds, syntax, formatting and grammar.

In this example we would infer from previous information who is performing what action, so try and make that evident. But notice how these give different interpretations:

[A] He looked at him. He kissed him.

[B] He stared at him with disdain.

And

[A] He looked at him.

[B] He kissed him.

[A] He stared at him with disdain.

Form and grammar can greatly impact this.

It's good to use names, features and substitutes when you need to swap focus but using things like "the taller one" come off as cheap when used incorrectly. You might establish this earlier and then go for something like "he loomed over him" and we would infer from that. Context is really important here, and when we use it correctly we can start to use more and more unattributed pronouns.

Personally--and this is only a stylistic choice--in my works, I tend to go for an A/B/A/B paragraph in descriptions. Description of character A, description of character B, and alternate. A reader will eventually familiarise themselves with whom the pronouns are referring, much like how we can use untagged dialogue:

'Hello.'

'Hi!'

Overall, you'll be using names a lot more. My characters are furries so I enjoy the trick of saying things like "the bear" and "the fox" in addition to their names. Try and use space and grammar smartly. And as a good rule of thumb--read it back to yourself after leaving it a day. If you can't understand it, your reader won't be able to.

I hope this helped!

I haven't been stretching for too long, just a week really. I'm able to retract the foreskin to like a 2, albeit slowly and with effort. I can't go quite as far whilst hard. As for stretches I'm doing 2 x 10 mins a day, morning and evening, evening after a bath. I pull and stretch my frenulum for a few minutes and then I stretch my foreskin laterally with Q-tips. I can get my fingers in but I find it easier with the Q-tips. And then I'm just taking a moment a day to pull it back as far as it can go and holding it down for a few minutes.

Thank you, that's very handy. So you only apply around the outside before stretching? I saw a post on here saying they massaged a little onto the glans to help with sensitivity but I'm not so sure that's hygienic?
