Keratinization of the glans!!!!

lol well dont eat it!

You just force your skin over the glans while flaccid and use an o-ring or other retainer to hold it there 24/7. Here’s the technique I use: http://TLCTugge … nstructions.htm

I’m uncircumcised and still have these groves when unerect! So you’re wrong, they cannot be caused by circumcision. They’re probably natural/genetic in those of us with them. But definitely, I can imagine, being circumcised would probably desensitised you.

I am going to ask the urologist about these cracks

Well, in my baseless opinion, not all circumcised guys have this problem. For me, the keratinization was due to masturbating without any lube. If I had had any idea of what I was doing when I saw the initial signs, this might not be an issue at all for me. Although, the last time I had a smooth glans, I was thirteen years old. I don’t remember having any discomfort from friction against underwear, but I was always wearing briefs at that time, and now, after having my glans covered for a time, I’ve noticed a surprising amount of irritation to the friction of my boxers when I’m walking around. This is motivating, but unfortunately, I’ve seen little progress in the texture of my skin. Perhaps there has been some, but it’s been too gradual to notice.

I ordered your Tugger with three straps yesterday. I purchased a cone from you on eBay a few months ago. I didn’t get much use out of it because I couldn’t get it to stay on. It may have been much more effective with briefs instead of boxers. Alas, I don’t own any.

I didn’t really find the idea of foreskin restoration attractive for a long time. I wasn’t interested in trying to explain it to future lovers, but I think that this is a circumstance where the ends certainly justify the means. To me, regaining a healthy, sensitive glans is an essential part of attaining my “perfect penis.”

Has anyone else tried Needhalf Inches method?

Any updates? Needhalfinch have you had any issues with keeping the scar sheets on at night? Do you take them off before showering?

Why the fuck do i have it. im bloody uncircumsized

Heat89, Needhalfinch any updates? I have been using scar sheets with jojoba oil for last two weeks, and once I remove the scar sheets for an hour the cracks and groves return.

I have been keeping my glans covered as long as possible and have noticed some shedding of skin. I was wondering if anyone knows if this is the start of the dekeratnization process? Or does not mean anything at all? I am really hoping in a couple months time all these deep groves and cracks go away.

This is an old thread but I thought I’d share. (and inconsequentially after 8 years here I still can’t post new threads lol)

Anyway I too suffered from severe keratinization of my glans making sex all but a chore. I tried traditional FR on several occasions but couldn’t make the commitment, and the ManHood and similar just looked like an expensive pain in the ass. Soooo I devised a mild DIY exfoliation and maintenance routine.

For the exfoliation / de-keratinize, I use a simple mix of equal parts baking soda (natural exfoliant) and olive oil (natural emmolient) - Neither are harsh nor toxic and both are readily available in the cupboard. I form a paste with the viscosity of, say… molasses. I rub the glans, coronal ridge, and the shaft’s skin down to the circ scar for a couple of minutes using moderate pressure. I simply rinse WITHOUT soap, pat dry and apply some good vitamin E skin lotion when done. During the first week I did this every other day, now once/week is quite sufficient. For convenience I usually do this right after my girth routine and right before I hit the shower.

For maintenance, I cut a large rectangle from an old silk necktie - long and wide enough to protect both the top and bottom of the entire shaft. This gets draped over with the softest side facing in (obvious). I slip a large O-ring over it to keep it in place. The necktie is comfortable and I haven’t lost it even once after I got the correct size o-ring. And - it’s a helluvalot easier to explain away than the “Manhood” should it slip off or be discovered.

For the first few weeks, I wore an unlubricated condom under it to keep everything moist. I still occasionally slip one on if I haven’t worn the silk the previous day/night but it’s easier to just keep a travel tube of moisturizer with me.. It all needs to breath anyway and moving the piece of tie out of the way is simple enough.

This all might sound like a ridiculously tedious regiment but the end result (for me at least) was/is totally worth it. I now possess a fantastically smooth, shiny glans that has brought compliments from several women. Everything is an attractive fresh-skin-pink color as opposed to the dry brown shade it had previously. Further, my head, frenulum, coronal ridge and upper shaft now have more sensitivity than I’ve ever experienced previously making fellatio worthwhile. And since instant gratification was the whole idea, I was pleased when results came nearly instantaneously (like, 3rd day).

Happy thanksgiving to all!

Wow, that’s quite an involved regimen. Wouldn’t it be easier to just wear your own skin over your glans 24/7? Even most cut guys can use a silicone retaining cone to keep the glans covered with their own natural sleeve of skin, and the only emollient you’d need would be your own skin oils and the dissolved remains of your sloughed-off skin cells. Nothing made of fabric can do the job your own body can do.

Thanks for sharing you method powerpeep.

Are you cut or uncunt ?

I recently tried the baking soda exfoliation method mentioned in the previous thread. I too have noticed some keratinization of the glans recently and after a few exfoliation’s it is looking a lot better. I would recommend this to anyone who wants more sensitivity.

I’ll give my two cents on this topic. First, apply a very heavy lubricant to the glans several times a day, especially after you shower or PE. Apply before you go to bed, when you wake up, or any time when the glans becomes dry. I use Eucerin cream, which can be found in the lotion secion at Wal-Mart. It’s very thick and doesn’t wear off fast.

Secondly, I stopped doing streching exercises, whether manual or with an ADS, because not only was it speeding up the keratinization process because of the friction on the glans, but it was also seriously affecting the sensitivity in my glans and the inch or two below where the majority of the nerves are. Decreased sensitivity in the head was making sex and blowjobs less pleasurable, and my erection quality dropped because there simply wasn’t as much sensation around my head.

I’m now very conscious to make very little contact with my head, whether during masturbation, PE, or simply taking a piss. The glans simply is not intended for frequent, vigorous physical contact.

Ever since I’ve started doing this the last two months, I’ve noticed my head is much more shiney and sensitive. Hope this helps, good luck.
