Got cut almost a week ago. The skin on my shaft is scrunching up/collapsing over my newly exposed glans? Is this normal?

Do I need to do anything to correct this? I’m worried about this being a major/permanent issue. I’ll admit I can be a hypochondriac and I don’t regret getting cut. I just want it to heal properly.

Also, I’ll admit that yes, my doctor said to hold my penis upright against my abdomen while it’s healing. How do I do that? I’m struggling with it despite switching to briefs and boxers briefs instead of loose boxer shorts.

I got circumcised as an adult for severe pinhole phimosis five days ago and I have #noregrets

Oh no! I mutilated myself! I cut off a ton of nerve endings! It doesn’t matter that *checks notes* my tight foreskin caused painful erections, put me at an increased risk of UTIs, and made it impossible for me to use condoms!

I didn’t even bother with stretching exercises! I got rid of an important body part with self lubricating abilities even though *checks notes* having severe phimosis makes the foreskin unable to lubricate effectively!

What a nightmare!*

(*this is all meant very sarcastically)

Hey, so I just wanted to know what to expect. First off, right now, I look at porn and jerk off multiple times a day. How do I manage my post recovery inability to masturbate or have sex? How will I handle it if I get blue balls? Is there anything I can do before surgery so that taking the mandated break isn’t so much of a shock to the system mentally? I know I should probably be cutting back on it regardless.

Also, will my penis itch in any way while it’s healing? I’m autistic so I’m super sensitive, and itching in particular is often very uncomfortable for me, even more so than mild pain. I’m worried about not being able to help myself and scratching it and fucking up my recovery somehow, especially since I can be impulsive thanks to also having ADHD. Speaking of which, how will I handle the executive functioning aspects of my recovery?

Lastly, I just want to say thank you to this subreddit for being a judgment free affirming space for my decision to get circumcised. I felt so invalidated for so long by inactivist viewpoints, both on and offline, that framed circumcision of any kind as mutilation, especially since my experiences with the physical and psychological discomfort caused by my phimosis directly contradict this narrative. I even recently tried posting about my circumcision on a mainstream gay subreddit, including preemptively saying in my post that getting circumcised isn’t mutilation and that can people please not try to change my mind about it. Even so, most of the comments I got shamed me/tried to pressure me out of getting cut, or gave me unsolicited advice on alternatives.
