Arvin Brits - Phimosis Cure: How to Stretch Tight Foreskin at Home and Avoid Circumcision

The penis is made up of three parts namely; the shaft, the glans and the root. As earlier discussed, the head of the penis is medically known as the glans, the skin around the head is called the prepuce. The prepuce is attached right under the pee hole by a Y shaped piece of skin. This is called the fraenulum or frenulum, and is similar to the one under the tongue. Phimosis affects the fraenular band causing it to be too tight to stretch. Fraenular band is the tight bit located at the foreskin opening, which in this case is what must be stretched to roll back Phimosis.

Myth #1- Circumcision is the only solution to Phimosis

When most Phimosis sufferers visit an urologist, the first thing they are advised to do to cure Phimosis is get circumcised as the only solution. This is simply a misrepresentation of facts. While circumcision can effectively rid one of Phimosis, there are other more natural methods that do not require that you mutilate your penis. In order to put this in a clear light, we have to understand the reasons that make preserving your foreskin ideal.

#1 There is a long dated myth that the foreskin is a useless piece of the body that has no useful input in the functions of the body. This is not true. In fact, the foreskin serves a major purpose in keeping the glans (the penis head) moist, preventing chaffing and abrasion during sexual intercourse. The foreskin is essential in stimulating the G-spot in females as well as reducing vaginal dryness during sex.

#2 Circumcision has also been shown to reduce penis sensitivity. This is because circumcision cuts about 4-5 inches of the foreskin that is used to protect an erect penis. One thing that most urologists will not tell you is that the foreskin that they advise you get rid of contains many tactile corpuscles, which are specialized sensory receptors. The importance of these receptors cannot be underrated, as they are responsible for light sensation and play a major role in the achievement of a rich and fulfilling orgasm. Removal of this part of the penis greatly impairs your ability to experience intense and fulfilling sexual sensations.

#3 Circumcision as a way of controlling Phimosis brings on board many risks. Circumcision falls in the category of minor surgeries and as such, has its fair share of complications. Studies have indicated that the overall complication rate for circumcision is over 30%. These complications can include infections, over bleeding, partial penis amputation and excess skin removal. This is excluding the other complications that come with the administration of anesthesia.

#4 Circumcision is also an expensive undertaking. Did you know that circumcision is not medically covered? In fact, it is not considered as a necessary medical procedure. This means that your medical insurance will not cover the procedure. Consequently, you will have to dig into your finances to be circumcised. In the United States, the general cost of circumcision under anesthesia is between $2000 and $3000. This makes it a very huge undertaking.

#5 Did you know that 1 out of 3 males circumcised because of Phimosis are unsatisfied with the results? Most of these people claim that things are worse than they were before the procedure. Poor cosmetic results and a decrease in sensitivity are some of the main reasons they cite.

Myth #2 Most women prefer circumcised men

The length to which people will go to justify something that is not scientifically backed amazes me. A landmark study conducted in the United States indicated that 85% of women who have had sex with both circumcised and uncircumcised men prefer the latter. This is mainly because the glans of the uncircumcised male moves in and out of the foreskin and causes a seal for the lubrication inside the vagina. This provides an internal gentle massaging as well as a gliding, frictionless, rolling sensation. Most uncircumcised men make shorter strokes, which ensure that their bodies are in contact with the clitoris at all times, which increases the sexual pleasure for the woman. The penis of a circumcised male on the other hand is like an engine piston. The head of the penis has no natural sealing mechanism and thus scraps the vaginal fluids out of the vagina. How you may ask? As the circumcised male thrusts in and out, his skin rubs against the vaginal entrance, this causes discomfort and sometimes extreme pain for the woman.

Now that we have looked at some of the most widely spread myths, let us look at the cause of Phimosis and how it develops.
