How much foreskin do I need for full coverage ?

[Madskulls]

Hi there. I just started restoring my foreskin, I've only been doing it for a month and a week.

I'm wondering how many inches do I need to restore for full coverage. My penis is around 4.5~5 inches fully erect, depending on how excited I am, and I'm cut pretty tight sadly.

My goal is something like this... I know it's too big of a dream.

If I didn't add much info let me know, and thank you .

Well, you don't need full erect coverage. Most intact guys don't. I was cut as an adult and I didn't have erect coverage. As long as it stays reliably covered when flaccid and throughout your normal size variance over the day, you're good to go. You also will not get the super tight taper displayed in the photo without some serious touch up surgery after you're done. I wouldn't let ANY doctor near my dick with a knife ever again! Once was enough! If you grow enough skin to hang beyond the end, the normal contraction of your dartos muscle layer will pucker down and keep you covered with an acceptable taper.
As far as time? Who knows. Too many variables, but average is 5-6 yrs.

First of all, the dude in the picture has a fabulous foreskin. He also has a rather tight phimosis. A restored penis will never have such a tight acroposthion, unless you decide to get a purse string surgery to tighten the tip, and I personally consider it not necessary, but that's up to each restorer.

Regarding how much skin you will need to get full coverage, it all depends if you will be happy with only full flaccid coverage, of full erect coverage. Measure your glans lengthwise while flaccid, and that's the amount of inner skin you will need to cover your glans while flaccid, plus a bit more. The glans' size usually doubles in size when erect, so if you want erect coverage, you will have to double the amount of skin to achieve it. Obviously, you will also need a bit more outer skin than inner skin to have a naturally looking penis in the end.

Granted, most men do not have erect coverage, but that does not mean that you cannot dream and work for more skin. I have full flaccid coverage, and partial erect coverage. I'm still working on getting as much erect coverage as I can this year, since I'm planning of stopping restoring by the end of the year. I might change my mind still by year's end, but for now, I want to be done pulling skin.

Great job, man. You should totally keep going for more foreskin. As soon as I read a post about men being able to restore foreskin, I started doing it the next day with a huge smile on my face and penis lol.

From my calculations, if I did them right, I'll get around 1.5~2.5 inches a year, so that will give me full flaccid coverage in just 1 year. I'm guessing I need around 5~6 inches for full erect coverage. If that's all I need I'd give myself about 3~5 years to achieve that. I know I'm being extremely optimistic if I'm being very honest with myself I'd say I need more than that.

By the way, I restore for about 10~15 hours a day, if that helps.

If you tug your foreskin for very short periods many times a day, your restoration will take less time to achieve than if you tug for longer periods of time fewer times a day. Keep that in mind. Because I was not going to wait years on end to achieve my full restoration, I decided to take the shorter, but most laborious route.

So am I doing this the wrong way, and how can I make sure of it ?

You are not doing it the wrong way. What you have to make sure is that, a) you tug with enough tension to cause a slight burning sensation all around the scar line within a minute or two of tugging and, b) repeat the session as often as possible throughout the day. At least in the beginning, you will end up with a slightly sore foreskin by the end of the day. Sore in the sense that it might be a bit uncomfortable, but never painful. Eventually, the foreskin will get used to all the tugging you put on it, and it will respond in kind.

By focusing on inner skin as you are doing, and by making sure your skin stings a bit when you are done with the session, you are guaranteeing fast results. The stinging sensation indicates to you that the skin got stressed enough, and needs to go into repair mode. By sticking with manual methods, you can control the tension, timing, and frequency of your routines. Just tug every day, and as often as possible without hurting yourself.

Also, try to inject tugging routines when you are masturbating.

Wow, thank you very much for the invaluable information.

I have noticed that my foreskin is not much bothered by tugging as it did when I first started, I can go for max 2 hours without being too uncomfortable.

You can tug while masturbating ? I should give this a try. I did not know I could do that. How can you do that ?

Yes, your skin should feel worked by the end of the day. When you get up in the morning, all should be back to normal. If it's still a bit sore, you've been tugging too hard. I do intermittent 30 minute sessions throughout the day while wearing my device. I leave the device on the remainder of the time during the greater part of the day (pee breaks excepted of course). Seems to be working. Be careful of too much tension, it's a fine line. You don't want stretch marks.

Yeah, I'm trying to be more careful about the tension part, thank you.

I would like to post a before and after picture of my penis to know if I'm doing a good job tugging.

You know what edging is, don't you? When I go for an edging session, which can extend from an hour to 3 hours or more if I have plenty of private time, when I'm close to climax, I stop stroking, then I tug my foreskin. After a minute or two of pulling my foreskin, I go back to edging until I'm close to climax again. And on, and on I go until I decide to climax.

When you incorporate tugging with your masturbation, your body responds differently than when you just tug for the sake of tugging. Tugging for the sake of tugging, makes the restoration process rather dull, and the body does not like boredom. By injecting some sexual fun to the process, your foreskin responds much better to your restoration routines.

I'm not a huge fan of edging, but I will most definitely try this tonight. It sounds very interesting.

I've been taking pictures ever since I started tugging and this a before and after picture.

I hope I'm doing a good job tugging.

That's due to the increased blood supply and pressure.
