Off topic, but I have always felt like something was taken from me re: my circumsion as a child.

Do you have any resources or guides you recommend on restoration? I've looked in to manual tugging and some of the stretching devices. The devices don't seem practical to wear around discreetly on a day to day basis, and I haven't gotten manual technique to show results yet.



I haven’t tried devices. I mainly do MM3 (andre’s method) and MM2. It took me quite some time to learn how to tug effectively.

Results are very slow and I started from a very tight cut. I’m still not even at a “loose cut” level so I have quite a bit left to go.

Not sure if you’ve heard of it, but red light therapy makes a big difference in the rate of tissue expansion.

I think adding RLT to manual methods will drastically improve your results. Just a couple sessions of fairly high intensity RLT a day does wonders.

TL;DR: like you I’m still figuring things out. But I’m pretty encouraged overall.
