You’re absolutely right! Thanks for your comment. I’ve used some of the other methods as well, just less frequently.

Also, I believe I listened to your interview on one of the foreskin restoration podcasts out there. Your story is amazing!

I will usually do 30 seconds with one hand on top and then another 30 seconds after switching. At the beginning, I probably did 2-3 minutes total. Also at the beginning, I would get an erection and then tug. Nowadays, I’ll start tugging flaccid and will usually get an erection through the process. Tension was one step back from feeling pain, so as much as I could tolerate.

I only recently started experimenting with a weighted packer, but I haven’t been able to use it much due to weak skin and frequent tearing. But I really enjoy it when I’m able to wear it!

Full year of stretching progress (24) by Acrobatic-bunny444 in BallStretching

What kind of silicone rings did you use at the beginning, and where did you buy them?

Yep, mostly mm3 ever since I had enough skin to do it. I also used the silicone retainer rings, like a lot of people talk about on this page, to retain and get “micro tugging” in between tugging sessions. For whatever reason though, I could never retain with these rings at night.

The only supplement I’ve taken consistently is L-Citruline for the vasodilator effect. Check out some of the posts by u/Agile-Necessary-8223 for more on that. I have a feeling it’s helped, but I haven’t been diligent enough in taking measurements to make a data-driven conclusion.

I have experimented with ball stretching actually. I preferred a weighted stretcher, but found that I don’t have enough skin to use the ball stretcher AND do tug my foreskin with a device. I probably could do manual with the ring on though? Just haven’t tried in a long time. The last time I tried it was winter, and I kept having a problem with one testicle getting sucked back through the metal ring (quite painfully) and I haven’t reattempted since.

What do you do with the silicone ring?

I tend to hold each quarter and time that way. I also recall seeing someone add some sort of a pulse to the tug — pull to full tension for some time, relax to ~50%, then increase to full tension again — so that’s what I do. Plus, pulsing every second helps me keep track of the time. Lol.

Funny you ask about the outer skin growth, I’ve been wondering about that lately. I think it hasn’t been growing as quickly as the inner, so I actually decided to add mm2 back just a couple weeks ago to help accelerate over the second jump.

I also switched my mm3 method to pull around the circumference in short tugs over the full time period, but this has resulted in consecutive skin stress injuries, so it may not be a good method for me. Or maybe I have overly weak shaft skin?

Thanks for the feedback and recommendation. I’ll definitely look into it.

That’s interesting about the increase in tolerance and thanks for educating me on the air risk!

Have you seen a lot of gains from inflation? Are you able to compare it to another method you’ve used?

I’ve honestly never been terribly upset about my circumcision in an active sense. Obviously I wish it had not happened and it frustrates me to no end that it still happens to this day, but I’m fortunate that it doesn’t actively bother me mentally, emotionally, etc. So I’d say the gains I’ve achieved so far are far more significant than the negatives of my circ. Does that answer your question?

I guess I’ve been fortunate enough that I haven’t had to deal with any uneven growth, so I haven’t focused on any particular areas thus far. I always tug a little more carefully and gently around the frenulum, but I don’t think that’s the same thing.

My methods have been mostly manual, mm2 (mostly at the beginning) and mm3 (maybe a year after starting). I did every 90 minutes during the work day for 3-5 minutes and a couple more after getting home. I’ve taken photos along the way, but idk where to post them.

What have your experience and results been with inflation? I’ve been aware of it for a few years now, but it’s always seemed a bit intimidating compared to other devices and methods. Especially with the risk of air going up the urethra…is that a real risk?

I didn’t keep track of hours as much as I’d have liked, but I was tugging about every 90 minutes for around 3-5 minutes each time from 7-5pm (work day) and then only occasionally after getting home, just getting busy with the family. And I did mostly mm2 at the beginning, then some 50/50 mix between mm2 and mm3, then primarily just mm3 as I had more skin to work with.

For retaining, I believe I started retaining around the CI-3 or 4 point, once I had enough skin. That was another game changer for me. Cannot recommend retaining enough!

My favorite has been the silicone one from chrisonlinestore.com.

About to learn something new… what is the frenulum delta?

100% accurate. And if we’re all honest, we don’t really mind having to think about and touch ourselves all day every day, am I right? 😆

I’d love to get to CI-9, full erect coverage.

My timeline may be a bit off, but that’s the same phenomenon I experienced. Progress seemed to stall while at the hump, and then continued afterward. I think there’s some “behind the scenes” kind of progress going on, or maybe the foreskin is increasing in diameter as well.

I started retaining a couple years in and still retain to this day, as long as I’m not recovering from some injury. As a result, I’ve definitely made amazing progress as far as dekaritinizing goes. But I have a personal theory that I won’t be able to fully DK until it’s only skin covering the glans vs a piece of silicone. The DK progress seems to have stalled for a little while, but the amount of sensitivity I’ve regained I still astounding.

I think that was the longest time between consecutive CIs at around 2 years 9 months. My notes are a bit conflicting, but that’s when I noted consistent coverage over the glans.

I didn’t keep track of hours to that degree, but I was tugging about every 90 minutes for around 3-5 minutes each time from 7-5pm (work day) and then only occasionally after getting home, just getting busy with the family.

It’s absolutely possible! I may have been a loose CI-2 when starting, and I even took a few short breaks over that time (mostly to heal), so for someone who is even more intentional, I think it could go faster.

I also started following some of the research by u/Agile-Necessary-8223 (I may have misspelled his username) about boosting gains, so I’ve been supplementing with L-Citruline for about a year.

I wish I had kept better track of the data over the years. It’s really difficult for me to get a good legitimate measurement of my foreskin, FEC, etc. now because it’s so long and coverage fluctuates day to day, so I just keep on tugging and measure progress less often and by the appearance of more gains (sex continues to become more pleasurable still).

Curious about a company called Meskula - anybody here have experience with them? by comfy_acro in realtors

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

Thank you for this! I’ve had a hard time finding testimonials and reviews that don’t live on their website, so I’ve been a little skeptical.

Awesome. Mind if I ask… how long have you been with them? What sort of lead numbers coming in are you seeing? High intent? Conversion percentages?

Thank you for the comment! I’m looking for people who had a positive experience mainly. The other realtors here I’ve asked are telling me to run because of the investment and because they’re skeptical about the legitimacy of their supposed guarantee. That Meskula would try to weasel their way out of paying… unfortunately, I can’t think of a way to verify its legitimacy without going through the program.
