An introduction

[sunandmoon7]

Hello brothers,

I have come to this site to seek support and to hopefully support others as I learn more in this long process.

I was cut when I was born, and feel very disgusted and violated at the practice having become conscious of it at 21 (earlier, even, however, I did not think FSR was possible), so I am going to, or I have, began with manual tugging method 2. I hope this does not cause disturbance, but I should mention a strange observation on my sensitive organ, that is, the so called perineal raphe that travels along the globe running up toward the penis, splits at the base of the penis and comes at a meeting point at the top below the scar line, forming an oval spanning the underside in which the skin in its space is different in nature, as if, lacking a layer. I wonder if this is a consequence of the ''badder than bad' cuttin'.

I have a question about method 2: is it good enough to pull upwards below the scar line with the thumb and index, and using the other hands 'OK' fingers, pulling at near-base downwards to create a tension? This will leave the glans exposed. I am flaccid too. Looking to do this for at-least 30-60 minutes a day, until I have enough skin to use a technology.
I have tried to pull or grab the skin by submerging the glans underneath the skin, but, I've been cut real good, or real bad shall I say, so it is very difficult, and painful, to pull whatever skin there is up and above as I'm a CI-1.



Thank you again for providing this great platform, it is very appreciated. I am looking forward to interacting with you guys.

No, I don't think the description of your raphe is due to bad cutting as you say. There are normal variances in the raphe, kind of like fingerprints. This area, however, is the most difficult to get to grow due to its proximity to the scrotum. The way you are tensioning it is correct, but take it easy. This shouldn't be painful. If it is back off on the tension a bit. You are not trying to stretch out your skin enough to cover, you are stimulating the skin cells to divide and multiply. If you are experiencing pain, your body goes into healing mode instead of mitosis more and nothing happens.

I wonder if taping would help when there is not enough skin to tug using other methods.

This is exactly how I started. I was circumcised at birth which caused my testicles were forced back into my body with each erection at the onset of puberty. There I was 14 years old searching for 'foreskin restoration' out of necessity of the pain this created. I found the "T-strap" method. I proceeded to begin restoring the next day.

I did much of my restoring at night. I put the suspender strap over my shoulder so when I had an erection it wouldn't hurt my penis. If you do choose to do this induce an erection while awake to ensure you don't hurt your penis.

I also tugged while I was at high school. I had my penis going to the left one day and right the next day. It was through the hole in my boxer shorts. I put a cloth there so my penis wouldn't be hurt from rubbing against the opening. Then I clipped the suspender strap onto the boxer shorts.

I used the T-tape method from start to finish of my restoration. I started with very little skin - a CI 0 if such a category exists.

Yes, CI 0 does exist. I had the same thing.

If I say anything more I am going to go off on my soap box for a long time. This isn't the thread for it.

T-tape, eh? Gotta try it.

Browsing this forum, I've heard 'Nexcare' was a good brand. We don't have that brand where I am. Gotta look for a similar material then, fabric-based it seems, method 2 requires a lot of discipline and your full attention. Feel like 30-60 minutes a day is simply not enough.

I'd imagine, the tape would start from the circumcision line and end at the (excuse my French) pee-hole (I'll just look up the method online), pullin' whatever skin is possible; I'd bet that wouldn't be very much at CI-0 so the glans would certainly be exposed.

Thanks for your comments, guys.

Mefix tape is THE tape for restorers. There are others that are similar, but don't grip as well. You can order it online. Just make some T-tape strips and apply them right at your scar line and tug away. How much inner skin did they leave you with?

[Smertrios]

Neat thing I have noticed about Mefix tape is that it doesn't simply get loose then fall off it kind of slides up then slips off. For me its usually 6-8 hours and they have "slid up" enough to fall off and then I have to retape. With other tapes I have tried the tape simply lets loose and doesn't stay stuck long enough for me to continue using it. FYI it matters what direction you cut the tape because its super stretchy in one direction and not stretchy in the other (I prefer the non-stretch direction for t-tapes). I only use a 2" square of the tape each time I tape up (4 strips 1/2" wide) so this roll of 11 yards is going to last 3 months or better and cost less than $8. Check eBay!

Think they left me at CI-1. Basically, if I try to pull from the scar upwards, it reaches just below the glans. If I try to push beyond that, over the glans, the skin kinda rolls in on itself, if that makes sense.

Thanks for the tape recommendation, I'll check it out.

EDIT: Found the tape, there are a few dimensions e.g. 5cmx10m, 10cmx10m, 2.5cmx10m etc. Based on the site I'm looking at as a reference, guess I'll be going with 10cm x 10m.

That has its benefits. I used to prepare the T-Tape so the tugging tension wouldn't stretch it but any increase in girth (erection) would be accommodated easily. In other words, set it so the non-stretchy fibers end up length-wise (aligned with the tugging direction).
