Hanging lower after foreskin restoration

by Tally on November 3, 2012 Bookmark and Share

Rubber Bull Balls Truck Nuts Blue from Amazon.comI was recently asked about the scrotum. A man starting to restore his foreskin noticed that his ball sack was hanging lower and he was concerned about it.

A common side effect of male infant circumcision is too much skin is removed. Men end up with tight erections. That is, when erect, their shaft skin is stretched taut. Because there is not enough skin to accommodate the man's erect length, skin from the scrotum is pulled to help cover the shaft during an erection.

Foreskin restoration expands the skin on the shaft. As more shaft skin grows, less skin needs to be borrowed from the scrotum. Eventually, the scrotum will hang naturally because it is not being pulled up the shaft.

Sometimes, men starting to restore their foreskin notice little progress, even though they are are tugging and tugging. What often happens is that the newly grown skin allows the scrotum to return to its natural position. It is only after the scrotum skin stops being pulled up the shaft that restoring progress is seen.

When I was circumcised as a baby, the doctor cut too much skin off. The bastard. When I was erect, I always had tight skin on my shaft. I was rock hard when erect. I used to joke that I could hammer nails with my cock because I was so hard. Little did I realize that I was too tight and too hard.

I remember watching porn and occasionally noticing that the man's cock seemed flexible and bendy. I always thought that they had been filming too long and he was losing his erection. But he would keep on going. I was amazed. My penis was so tight and hard when erect that there was no way it would bend or flex. My cock only got that flexible after I lost my erection, which means that sex was over for me. It was only after starting my restoration and researching about being intact did I realize that those men must have been intact or loosely cut.

Anyway, after I had been restoring my foreskin for a week, I noticed that my balls were hanging lower. It felt unusual and uncomfortable. I was not used to my balls hanging like that. They had always been snuggled close to my body. Now they seemed to be hanging so low that they were getting in the way.

As I broke the adhesions at my circumcision scar and my shaft skin got more flexible, my scrotum started returning to its natural hang. As I kept tugging and growing more skin, my scrotum hung lower and lower until it reached its natural hang. The change was very noticeable. I remember turning over in bed (I sleep naked) and squeezing my nuts when they moved between my thighs. Ouch.

This uncomfortable feeling lasted about six weeks. I got used to my balls hanging freely. I forgot about my balls when I noticed that my shaft skin was getting wrinkled and starting to bunch up behind my corona. After more than four years of restoring my foreskin, my scrotum is not hanging unusually low. I am not hanging any lower than I was after a couple months of tugging. That suits me. I do not want to hang too low.

I recently realized that my penis length is at least 1/4 inch longer than it was before I started restoring my foreskin. I have full flaccid coverage and I am working on full erect coverage with my restored foreskin. My erections are not tight. I am also not rock hard like I used to be. Instead, my shaft is stiff and spongy, just like those cocks that I see in porn. OK, maybe not that big and long, but just like them.

#1 I wondered if my tight scrotum is due to my tight circumcision.

Submitted by Brian (not verified) on Sun, 11/04/2012 - 4:52pm.

I have always noticed that my sack is almost always tight unless it is very hot outside then there is just a little bit of extra skin so my testicles can hang.  I've noticed that many guys and even animals tend to have very low hanging scrotums. I had a nudist friend who was also circumcised but he had so much more shaft skin then I did.  I had no extra skin even when flaccid.   I was once doing physiotherapy. I could not even lie on the table on my stomach as my testicles were being squished.  It was awkward to tell the the therapist my problem.   I have had a difficult time restoring and growing skin but hopefully I will one day and hopefully my testicles will hang lower with more scrotum skin.    I wonder do all uncircumcised men have low hanging balls?

#2 Tight scrotum.

Early on in my restoration, there was also a loosening of the scrotum.  Personally, another esthetically pleasing result is the disappearance of the webbing (turkey neck).  Whether or not all intact men have a lower hanging scrotum does not really concern me that much,since my interest is in restoring my foreskin.

#3 Restoring is also my only objective

My comment was about lower hanging balls was to do with the side effect of being circumcised.  I am curious if the higher tighter scrotum is another way that men are damaged by circumcision?

#4 Yes

I have heard of many circumcised men whose balls are held close to their shaft or who have turkey neck. These are men who typically have a tight circumcision. There is enough natural variation that I am sure some intact men suffer also, but not near as many as those who are circumcised.

So, yes, I believe a tight scrotum is a complication of circumcision.

#5 I agree

I am an active PEer, a hanger; anyhow, the first thing that I noticed is that I was developing a turkey neck. My turkey neck is gone, my testicles hang lower, and sensitivity is through the roof. I owe all of this to FR. I am 35 and straight with a family. I wish that I had found out about PE and FR 10 years ago.

My wife knows about my PE and FR and can care less as long as it does not take time away from the family.
