Circumcision
Posted: 05-18-08 04:25am

Lamenting circumcision, and wishing for ways to restore the sensitivity in the glans of my penis, I had heard that if you 'roll up' your penis inside its extra skin, shown here:

it would act in the same way as a foreskin by protecting it from the... elements.

However, I am concerned that having my penis constantly compressed as such would cause some sort of harm to it, which I'd gladly avoid.

I'd really want to undertake this if it means I will regain sensitivity but I am afraid of damaging myself.
This is the only anonymous forum I could find, so please, any help would be appreciated.

Even if we suppose decreased sensitivity, that can not be due to circumcision. Circumcised men have a lower risk of getting penile infections and penile cancer. The procedure that you are proposing is completely unnecessary

.
If you have a different problem like erectile dysfunction you should ask for help from a urologist.
