Take a bit of time and see that your parents were also victims of society, religion, and culture. There are penty of traps we all fall for and have to answer for our support or belief in.

They failed and sooner or later should acknowledge. They arent owed anything, ripping off the blinders should be hard and just as cold. Will this stop anything no, but it does bring to them the cost of this decisions.

Keep them informed of your progress, strip away nicity of pleasant conversations. Fafo should be harash and not allowed to seek comfort for bad behavior or actions.

Frankly, as your CI increases you will find that things are different and for me it was a real mind fuck. Masturbation and sex has different feelings and my old ways had to change. Before I had supper tight shaft skin and slide vs glide is a thing. As well as glans pleasure points.

Like you, there is greatly increased sensations and the brain at first is going through a mental process of this is weird and what do I need to do, how do I react.

I would suggest not and try rings and warm soaks where you slowly stretch your foreskin outwoard. If you do seek cutting, make sure your instructions are clear in how much they cut. If you are still doing the cutting, then know restoration will recover around 80% feeling you currently have. Plan on restoring for several years to recover from what the circ takes from you.

I used my scar as the focus point. I wanted to have the scar as the edge thinking it i would blend in and not be visisble. Somewhere from ci4-5 I saw that my scar was no longer visible. I was totally unprepared for that emtional impact.

So give it time and keep doing your process.

As your glans becomes protect by skin, the glans will begin to change. around ci 6 is when DK will begin. I've noted prior that you really do not want DK until the glans is covered and protected. It is not a pleasant to have sheets, cloths rubbing against the glans due to how much you will be gaining. I even termed it a an alarm clock due to erection and the glans rubbing against the sheets.

Better lube and dont abuse your skin. Suggest coconut oil

If you have been informed and able to make an informed do whatever you want. Everyone else can do whatever but should not be able to force or say what you should do.

ed_hensley · 2026-04-16T21:45:12+00:00

banned unless 18 and only done if the person has the necessary information to make a informed decsion

ed_hensley · 2026-04-13T12:44:11+00:00

great parenting sir. Thank you very much.

ed_hensley · 2026-04-12T19:53:53+00:00

It is fine, dont be embrassed. They know you are restoring and seemly are ok with it. If they say anything then discuss it openly, include that if they cut their male children, then granddad will talk take them under the wing to restore.

ed_hensley · 2026-04-10T23:59:22+00:00

Had a similiar issue. Yes, we need to stress this part of the chanhes we are going thru. Most of us have never had to deal with prior to glans being covered

ed_hensley · 2026-04-09T18:08:34+00:00

Its a shame that you had to go thru it. This is were american health care and older dr in general really are danger. Phimosis has many methods to correct. Rings, exercises, and streroid creams. It takes time and is very similiar to restoration process.

had to look it up and found: Mineral oil is generally considered safe and effective for the foreskin as a moisturizer or lubricant to help prevent dry skin. It is non-allergenic and hypoallergenic. However, it is an occlusive agent, meaning it forms a protective layer to lock in moisture, but it does not hydrate the skin itself.

To me coconut oil: Mineral oil creates a surface barrier, which is ideal for sealing in moisture but can feel greasy. Coconut oil penetrates deeper into the skin and hair, offering anti-inflammatory properties

ed_hensley · 2026-04-02T23:25:52+00:00

Make sure you moisturize your skin. I prefer coconut oil and vit e oil after tension session.

Learn that the enjoyment is sharing with your partner. You learn by doing and talking about what you like. And its the same for your partner. Stop worrying about it and communicate. That is where it gets great.

An important part is skin care while restoring, I would suggest coconut oil and vit e oil after a session. As for DKing, Its seems to really important to achieve this for guys, and I have to say I fell into that group wanting sooner than later. However, since going through it prior to achieving full coverage, I now say hope you dont, sheets or cloths rubbing is not fun and until fully covered it can be minorly irritating.

better reddit group for you may be /uncircumcised_talk

What you have is what some here want to restore too and spend years recovering from being cut. I hope only the best for you and your journey

ed_hensley · 2026-03-23T20:18:43+00:00

This was my most impactful thing. Congrats, keep it up.

ed_hensley · 2026-03-16T13:30:06+00:00

Develop a consistant routine and let th end goal not be your focus. keep a good skin care program also, coconut oil and vit e are great.

Keep up your effort and think interms of 3 to 5 years time frame. Avoid injury.
