Do you have or do know someone who has a dtr? Have them send it ti me I will send them a check.

Thank you for the quick reply. Sorry for my slow reply.

Well Monday will be 3 weeks and I'm still experiencing pretty much discomfort. As I said before they put the catheter back in when I couldn't urinate on my own. They said that was due to blood clots. It was painful going back in, but much relief to be able to pee. I was in pain at the end of my penis and along the shaft from the catheter. It also burned every time I peed. Thankfully when I went back a week later I got a much nicer nurse who gently removed the catheter. I told her of my woes and she was surprised they had not prescribed something. She felt pretty sure I had an infection. So she gave me another round of Cypro and the Pyridium (sp?) you spoke about. It helped somewhat but for most of the week since then I experienced great pain at the end of my peeing. It felt like peeing a razor or glass shards. I also passed a good bit of blood. I finally called back after 3 days to see when this might let up. I asked for Nickey the nice nurse, but got nurse ratchet. She was short with me. She said that this is normal and it takes time. No explanation as to what was going on or how long it would continue. It's eased up some, but it is still very painful when the stream is shutting off. Then I walk away with a strong burning sensation and a feeling like I still have to go. That takes awhile to reside.

I'm back to going every 1/2 hour or so again. Also there is a deep pain in my testicles and an occasional pain- burn on the end of my penis. My follow up is not until 4 weeks away. I found out that I'm still able to get an erection and get the feeling of climax, but nothing comes out, a weird feeling. But after I tried that, that is when I went back to peeing every 15-30 minutes. Makes me feel like I messed something up. When I go back I will let the Dr know I'm upset that I was not told what to expect as far as long term pain, how long, what is normal. I'm hoping the pain goes away at some point, and I'll get some sleep without getting up 10 or more times a night. Makes it feel like the operation was a waste of time. So please tell me it gets better.

Thanks, Dave

First, I would not stress about what a partner will think. Typically, the first time two people have sex it is awkward. Neither one knows what the other truly likes and wants. It takes some time and exploring to learn the intimate details of the other person. Most likely, she will not notice that you have a skin bridge. If she does, she may likely think it is a normal variation, which it is. Skin bridges are very common among circumcised men. Few talk about it, so we rarely hear about it. If she notices, just tell her that.

Second, if you have the type of relationship with your parents where you feel comfortable talking about problems, do it. Your parents may have insurance that covers the surgery need to fix your skin bridges. That will help with the expenses. Getting it fixed will also relieve some of the stress you are feeling about it.

If you think it may be too awkward, just tell your parents that you think your circumcision never properly healed and you would like to see a urologist about it. Your parents may not inquire too deeply. You could tell them you have two skin bridges where the skin grew together after your circumcision. They may ask if it hurts or if you are in pain. You could tell them that you are concerned about hygiene because the skin bridges have holes through your skin. Tell them you would feel better if a doctor looked at it to make sure it was ok or to fix it if necessary.

Let me comment on your numbered list of advantages of being intact.

1. I do not believe size matters for most women, and intactivism is about the quality of the penis, not its quantity. That said, intact men may have longer erections because the foreskin supplies the extra skin an erection requires.

2.  You are not the first woman to report that intact men can do a better job of controlling their ejaculations. This is a very important counter to the myth that circumcision makes men last longer and hence more able to please.

3. Missus D uses lubricant with me even though I am intact.

4. I am a lifelong str8 male. That said, I tend to agree with you that intact men are less rough than cut ones. I have no urge to go in and out faster than she breathes. Danielle Stewart on YouTube has denounced some of her past partners for "frat boy" sex. I am convinced that their being circumcised was to blame. The frantic pace of men in porn is unnatural to me and probably an artifact of their being circumcised.

5. Missus D tells me that every man she's known who could continue intercourse after ejaculating a first time was intact.

6. "My orgasms [with intact men] have been extremely intense, more fulfilling, and more satisfying with intact men." Other women report this.

Your reported drawbacks of men being circumcised.

1. I am reluctant to generalise.

2. Missus D, who has had far more sexual experience than yours truly, reports that every man she dated who suffered from PE was cut. And by PE, she meant climaxing in 15 seconds or less. That is nowhere near enough time to give me any sort of satisfying orgasm.

3. Missus D concurs.

4. I have read many women post and comment to the same effect.

5. Missus D always uses lube with me.

6. I noticed in college that many women complained about sex, or acted up in a way that strongly suggested to me that their sex lives were not satisfying. I then thought that men being too proud to give foreplay was the problem. I now suspect that circumcision was part of the problem.

Bottom line. I am very very lucky to be intact despite being a 64 year old American. But it took me decades to appreciate that fact.

I had button turp surgery on Monday. I've had extreme discomfort ever since from the Foley. They removed it Tuesday morning but had to reinsert it due to blood clots, blocking my urine flow. That was painful. I called the nurse after reading your blog and begged for Pyridium. She wouldn't give it to me, saying it wouldn't help. She seemed perturbed that I was doing my own research. So I have to suffer until at least Monday @ 11 am.

I was always worried my grandfather would get a UTI since he used <a href="http://www.180medical.com/showcase-item.aspx?id=418&title=coloplast%20tapered%20tip%20self-cath%20with%20guide%20stripe">self catheterization</a>. It’s really complicated and requires so many check-ups. Luckily, everything turned out fine but it was definitely concerning.

I agree that when a child reaches the potty training phase of life, it’s time to teach the proper care and maintenance of his genitalia. http://pottytrainingin3days.org/

Will I have saggy skin after losing weight?

I read that one of the bloggers went to a department store and shopped for baby socks.  He used this in the place of the Manhood.  So, I went to my local department store and bought some baby socks made out of cotton.  I bought 3 pairs for $1.00.  I tried one on my penis and it worked great !!!  The socks had a little elastic band around the end and it held my penis snugly and it never fell off even during sleeping.  Morning erections were find as the baby sock moved to compensate.  Definitely try this before spending the money for manhood.
