Hello, I'm so happy right now :D
Before finding out about my phimosis, I actually never knew exactly that the foreskin was supposed to retract all the way while having sex or for practicing healthy hygiene.
At the start of this year, I found out through porn that the foreskin was supposed to retract fully when erect. Obviously I then tried to retract in the bath and I couldn't so, I searched online and I found out that I had phimosis and that I possibly needed a circumcision. My brother was actually circumcised as a baby, I believe the reason was he had excess foreskin they said. I to this day still remember the excruciating pain he was in, and the huge amount of screaming, so this really put me off going ahead with circumcision.
For many months, I was scared of the possibility of surgery and I tried to "ignore" the problem until I finally earlier this year began to do more research and came across this reddit page. I also had purchased the phimo cure rings which I noticed progress from straight away however I didn't understand much about this all back then so I made many mistakes like wearing the rings in literally all day (really bad I know) and this caused very bad cuts which then caused my foreskin to tighten even further, and then having to wait for the cuts to heal caused a huge amount of demotivation for me to the point I gave up using them completely.
I then started getting into manual stretching with the help of this Reddit, I used the two finger stretch method but mainly the technique of retracting back as far as I could and holding this position whilst in the shower with warm water is what I found to be a huge success for me. Once I noticed I could retract when flaccid I then became very excited with my progress so started using the rings again but this time only wearing for a short amount of time, started off with 5 minutes wearing the ring and each day gradually built up time, and If I felt any pain I'd stop completely take the ring out and proceed the next day. I noticed a huge amount of success with the rings this way.
Fast forward to today and I've just successfully retracted whilst fully erect! With no tight feeling or pain when retracted, I still think I need to loosen it up more for smooth gliding back and forth, but the more I retract I feel it'll loosen up further and I also have 4 of the largest phimocure rings to use. The feeling is so amazing, and also I must mention about the pleasure, wow oh wow I can't actually believe I've been missing out on this for several years, I'm 18 now but haven't retracted since I was around 14. I'm sorry if this story sounds cringe but I'm feeling so happy for this achievement and I just wanted to share with you all.
I've taken progress pictures during my stretching journey, ( even the very bad cuts I experienced from overstretching), which I feel the need to post here to help and encourage anyone who's going through the same struggle I did. As I know how demotivating it is
Here are my progress pictures labelled below:
(Finally!! Retracted fully when erect today for the first time, with no pain/tight feeling):
(Start of my journey here, as you can see very tight at this point and wasn't even able to retract when flaccid. It was also tighter than this but I wasn't taking pictures at this stage):
Here you can see the really bad cuts that set me back, very demotivating as I wasn't able to stretch and after they had healed it was even tighter than before):
Ring Progress Pictures:
This a month ago when I could only retract half way when erect):
I remember reading these types of posts and that was what kept me motivated to continue through out my stretching journey so I feel it's only right I make one myself :)
For all those who have phimosis, stretching definitely works, and I definitely recommend committing to it as the outcome is for sure worth it.
If you have any questions or anything feel free to ask!
