Just thought I'd throw a quick update for my recent circ the last post I put up was at week 4 so it's overdue.

All of my stitches are fully dissolved and my skin has knitted together beautifully, I have 2-3 tiny white spots on the left hand side of my penis but that's just scar tissue and will disappear over the next few days as I've started my moisturizing routine.

I have to say the freedom my head has now is absolutely phenomenal, whereas I was restricted previously by phimosis my glans can now achieve its full size without pain or restriction by a tight foreskin.

It's genuinely like a brand new penis.

I'm still a little nervous to achieve full erection but that's merely a mental block after a surgical procedure which will pass in time. Having the circumcision was most def the best decision I ever made.

I wish you all here whether you are considering the procedure or in the healing phase all the very best going forward and thank you all for your insights while I navigated this truly unique experience.

Just started week 4 post op and some things I've learned

1. invest in a cheap martial arts cup this will help avoid any accidental knocking or brushing and aids healing

2. keep an ice pack by the bed this will help with nocturnal erections.

3. Avoid washing every day from week 2 you want scabbing to occur that's the natural healing process washing everyday will soften up the healing area and delay healing

4. This is a big one, horny all the damn time, randomly during the day could be painting a wall, hanging shelves or any random act and my mind will switch to sex, I've imagined every iteration and adaptation of sexual encounters my mind can conjure, medically referred to as forced abstinence. I work in healthcare, I've seen videos of circumcisions being performed I understand the healing process

But no one told me about the increased libido

So gentlemen be ready for that
