Questions from Logan, a fellow teen

im thinking about it but im not sure so ill ask some questions.

1. why did you do it?
2. how can u convince me to do it.
3. what method did you use.
4. how long did it take.
5. pros / cons
6. did it change anything with your penis.
7. did any friends and/or parent find out. if so what did they say.
8. any thing else i need to know?

hey dude
1. embarrassment in public changing rooms, not being myself, more function and form, better looking... especially since I'm skinny and not much of a show-off (I'll keep my glans to myself thanks )

2. ummm because it looks way better and you will love not having your glans rubbing around all day. you probably dont really focus on how annoying it is now but you will really appreciate it when you dont have it going on. easier to stay focused and enjoy yourself

3. tlc-x tugger with various inserts and pieces from them, tried some other stuff but this is the best along with tape when you cant use this or are taking breaks at night time

4. I'm still doing it but honestly I have enough skin to cover myself and it rolls over by itself even when standing. but its hard to keep it over since I get aroused when that happens, I am still getting used to it honestly. I just want a little bit more skin just in case (mine as well ) and that way I might even get a little overhang going and it would be the best looking penis evarrrr

5.
pros: umm you took control and got something sweet for the rest of yoru life?

cons: it takes a while and if you try to do it too fast you could get like stretch marks or something but just be careful and since you are young like me your skin like holds up the best and it looks super natural so who cares. I tried going too fast and it looks fine, but that doesnt work so dont bother hehe
:blush:

6. umm not really I mean my glans is way different and there is an absurd amount of sensitivity there. I mean if you go into restoring thinking its going to be sick then you will be disappointed, but it honestly shocked me how much better it felt in all. I'm not sure how you are cut or where your scar is. it just depends on how generous or lazy the doctor was or if he was a douche and cut off the best parts or anything, let me know just describe it

7. I told my mom and she was pretty shocked but now she is ok with it just pissy because I got really mad at her for being so dumb as to commit to genital mutilation in the first place. I even showed her what it looks like now and I think she was relieved at how not gross or weird it was, it looks pretty normal. I change at school adn swim practice and its fine and everyone just think s its uncut like theirs... there arent that many cut kids that I'm friends with so I get lots of acceptance as usual and everyone who is cut thinks its cool too. nobody EVER says anything about it, except a few times at hockey but now I dont do that anymore so who cares.

8. I say go for it. if you are thinking about it then you mine as well start, you can stop at any time and just have more movement in the shaft skin and there is literally nothing to lose as long as you dont try to restore overnight or something

email me if you need anymore info!

GeologyJoe wanted to know...

Someone sent me this post a few days ago.

Basically after reading it I was asked to leave a comment, in which I said (with a link to this blog):
"honestly bro, I really wouldnt do it. I'm 15 and my parents had me "crimped ", watch the videos its pretty gross. they have gotten more and more creative with "fun " ways of cutting the foreskin... its not even cutting anymore in some hospitals, more like pressing it apart in a gross way.

who knows what method does the highest or lowest amount of damage, the bottom line is that the circ rate here in the usa is like around if not less than 50% now, so you dont have to decide based on what everyone else is anymore... you can just go with your instinct, which I hope is to just leave it alone. and that is the other thing, unless he gets a UTI, you can literally just leave it alone. there wont be any additional cleaning required until he is a lot older and can do it himself when the skin separates and can be moved around. this I guess happens at like age 7 or something.

so yeah I wouldnt touch it, I am a guy and I know how it feels to have to be the only cut guy in the locker room... where I live almost all of my friends are uncut and I was devastated...."

his response outlined that this was his favorite testimonial (to which I was flattered! ) and he seems pretty interested in it all, and thanked everyone for the information.

update (july 30): they have indeed confirmed that they are leaving their boy intact. yay http://geologyjoe.blogspot.com/2008/07/circumcision-final-post.html

Current daily routine (Question from Ashton)

"I tried restoring a year ago but gave it up b/c I didn't like tugging. I'm just getting back into it and have purchased a tlc-x and some packers and extra cones. I'm concerned with moving to fast and being too aggressive with it. I really want to have a sweet tight coverage when I'm done restoring. So I'm thinking I should just go slow and be patient with it. I'm dedicated to it now though. You've inspired me not to stop this time. :)

Would you mind replying back with your typical day and activities and how you progress through a day and night? Basically, your restoring routine. I really like the results you say that you've had and I think that we both had the same amount of foreskin in tact before we started. I really want this to work out but want it to look good. Just don't want to mess it up. "

Hey ashton,
TLC-X was a good choice, I use it during the day and do my "o-tape " otherwise especially while sleeping. I have given up completely on tugging at night since it always comes off and or becomes uncomfortable, just wear a retainer that is secured but not too tightly to prevent a comfortable boner.

I found that if you wear the tlc-x every day all the time, the skin gets exhausted and the tlc-x comes off more easily. If you take breaks like this at night, you wont have any problems with the skin and it gives it time to heal.

Also, when you apply the tlc-x, you shouldnt have a whole lot of movement in the plunger part of it. maybe only 1/4 to 1/2 inch. if its more than an inch for example, you are applying it wrong and not putting enough even tension on that inside area. If you want to expand a greater area of skin, use a larger insert piece. (like the 16mm one you mentioned getting, I use a 24mm one )

thanks, and let me know if you have any more questions :)

"y do u hate being cut so much one of my friends is for medical reasons and i have seen his penis it doesnt look that bad. wats so bad about it?"

My answer:
its unnatural being cut and you have scars and there are a lot of defects to most cuts done at birth. they have like an assembly line here in the usa when babies are born and the people doing it dont care if they mess up since they do so many, its horrible

I got lucky and most of my inner foreskin and frenulum are still there, but why the fuck should they be able to decide how much sexual pleasure I get? some douchebag intern doctor could have fucked up my fucking penis for life!!

Question from someone...

Someone posted this and I thought i would share it.

I am a 14 year old uncircumzised male. My parents are both jewish,my dad is circumzised,but for some reason,they didn't circumsize me.

I hate having an uncut penis. Looking at the tip come out of the skin when I get a boner is disgusting,the tip is really sensitive,and polls show that girls much prefer circumsized penis's.

I've heard that it is actually possible to get circumsized at an older age if you wish,is that true? If so,does it work well? Or is there a good chance of getting damage.

I'm wondering if I should leave my penis the way it is or not. I've heard that uncircumsized penis's are so sensitive that it becomes hard to do anything different during sex,because you might hurt the penis.

Any help? I'd appreciate it.

First off, let me say that I'm jealous that your parents let you choose.

The way I feel for you is that, you should be happy. If you will live your life better by being cut then I say go for it, you can be proud of it and it will help you focus on whats important.

My situation was that I never knew what was wrong with me or why my glans was always being irritated or stimulated by rubbing everywhere, or why it would stick to my sack on hot days, that stuff. When I started having to shower for school a few years ago, I was devastated to find that most of my friends were uncut and I was left with a scarred dick that I knew nothing about.

It was a horrible experience, and since then I'm about half-done restoring a replacement skin thats fooled my doctor, and I blend in with my friends. I'm really proud of it and now people cant see a revealing outline at swimming from my brief, and it stays safer from the environment. If I'm naked outside or at a beach somewhere (theyre fun ), sunburn isnt as much of a problem than on a bare glans. theres a reason why we have it.

so if your going to do it then I suggest you at least get a very loose cut, but at that point you mine as well leave it alone. theres no guarantee you wont go home with too little skin which will be rock tight when erect and that feels like nothing for you and needs lots of lube for her.

you cant win 100% but I suggest you take the side that feels right.

Questions from people

I'm going to try and post as many questions I receive as possible to keep the flow of information going. The questions are in italics.

Here goes:


i was but stopped restoring because im afraid the skin wont stay around the head and be loose. Will it be loose around the head?
it wont be loose if you restore young, mine is perfect. the older you get the less tight it will grow in. your body is used to adapting as you age but at that point your screwed and youll have a wrinkly saggy foreskin
the tlc tugger offers a cone thats very small compared to their beginner one and it will help make that nice tight point or overhang that everyone desires

where I from every one is cut I only kno one person who is not? I never even thought about anything different till I read ur blogs. its weird u dnt seem shy at all on here ur very open and out spoken about ur believes. u got me kind interested in restoring but I'm scared what do u thing about the fake pieces of rubber they have to simulate the fore skin? how much skin have u actually gained?
you shouldnt feel shy. your dick is your business and no one elses, thats how I feel. if someone else sees I usually sense envy, but not always
the rubber helps pull on the skin to encourage it to grow longer and tighter. the younger you are the tighter and more real it is (and smoother ) since your skin is used to growing anyway. old men restore and it looks gross. use the skin on your face as a gauge for what your foreskin will look like in terms of quality, minus any pimples moles or acne of course
right now my progress is I have full coverage when soft, sometimes full coverage or half coverage or no coverage (wrinkles behind the glans ) when semi-hard, and it still looks pretty cut when hard but its getting there. each month is better and better

so the foreskin restoration seems nteresting. when did you start and how far along are you
last may. soft I have full coverage, semi-hard it flip flops from coverage to sometimes no coverage (wrinkles behind the glans ), and hard its still pretty cut looking
I'm happy so far and I blend in with my friends. its going slowly but perfection takes time. I'm glad I started now since I love it so much more every month

how far down from the head of your penis is your skin attached ?
mine is right after the head (like after the bump or ridge or whatever you wanna call it). half way. half inner half outer skin with full frenulum leftover lucky me!

when did you get circumcized ? have you still got scar tissue ? i got circed at 14 .im 15 now and i still have scar tissue - it didnt stretch at fist but now it does but not as much as it should .
just after being born... before I could say anything

what methods do you use ?
tlc tugger at night, catiiq in the day. then when I cant use the cat I just use ttape or when I'm swimming I tape so that I have an overhang to keep the water and chlorine out. now instead of seeing a glans they see an overhang outlined on my speedo brief and I'm so proud

when i roll my skin over my penis head , it doesnt go that far . is tht a problem when restoring ? does that mean i cant use certain methods ?
it shouldnt be

how fast is it ? so ... like ... how long you been doing it ? how much more can your skin strecth up your penis head ?
I'm like half done and its been a year. the younger you are the faster and better it looks


That's it for now.

Questions from Comments

1. You mentioned that you were afraid your Mom was recommending the procedure; which was the catalyst for your 'coming out'. Was this in fact the case; was she doing it?

I dont think she was, but she said that everyone on both sides of the family is done. This is sad, because everyone is misinformed. She didnt have to encourage anybody

2. If she was actively recommending or still felt circumcision was 'right' did your conversation change her position? Would she recommend it to a friend still; knowing that her own son was dissatisfied not with just a particular result but the idea of the procedure itself?
--I think this second question/point is the most important because when people discuss circumcision, in the US that is, EVERYONE knows SOMEONE who had to get it done later in life and it seems NO ONE know ANYONE who is dissatisfied. Now many of us know that is bull and now all that has changed for her too.

She feels really bad about doing it to me and actually wishes she hadnt and agrees that it should have been my choice. the problem is that she didnt think that I'd care and wanted me to be the way most people expected me to be, which is not what I wanted. I always thought I was normal until I saw my friends changing and realized what a horrible thing had been done to me

3. Have you 'inspired' any one else to restore or otherwise change their attitudes toward circumcision based on your blog, experiences, ect?

Not really but some people have asked me about it

4. What on earth does restoring have to do with being gay? :)

I guess it gives some people the impression that your interested too much in your own thing, but I think that every kid/guy is even if they dont show it. I like girls too and I want them to be able to enjoy my skin as much as I do

5. It would be interesting to hear what your dad has to say (I am sure he'll find out) since it seems circumcised fathers leads to circumcised sons.

He wont understand, but he probably will find out eventually
