Hi, all.
I have a question for those very familiar with restoration. It may be a moot point, but now I am getting obsessive because I know I read this. I read when DH and I were considering restoring, that if the circ was very tight, it could actually increase the apparent length of the penis to give it more skin, because it is not being held back. We are restoring, have seen that this is true, but poor DH is having some understandable issues with all of this. It must be infuriating! Anyway, this is not to 'convince' him. He is already sold, but to help reassure him all is normal and OK. I know there is a restoration stickie, but I spent at least an hour navigating it and can't seem to find this. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Not that I could necessarily give you an answer, but could you please clarify the question? I can't figure out what you're asking for.

LOL!

Yeah, that's not clear, huh? Oops.

I wanted the link or other info, (even a mention?), on the specific effect of an increase in length of the penis when you first start restoring and get some skin back, (with very tight circs only). DH and I both read back before we started that it sometimes happens, but can't find that particular piece of info now. This has happened for him and he is a little wierded, so I wanted something I could point to for him and remind him that this is normal. I don't know why this has wierded him, but it has. Hope this clarifies.

it is normal

I think DaddyJoe got 1.5 inches by the time the restoration was done.

I havent had any length that I can notice. But yes, it is normal to gain some length during the process if you had a tight circ.

 

[Lula's Mom]

He has to be the only man in the world who would get worried about some extra length.

to both of you, I hope he keeps getting good results.

cirp.org says

Quote:

"Will I experience an increase in penis length with stretching?" "It is possible. Some men do report growth in overall penis size as a side effect of the constant tension. However, this effect has not been scientifically studied, and it should not be considered a good reason for attempting restoration."

Sandy, I too was puzzled by your original post - but I see what you're asking now!

I know you stressed that this perceived extra length applied only to penises with a tight circumcision, but I do wonder if it's a subjective thing, rather than actual. Did he or you take a measurement before he started restoring? That would be a sure way of determining any increased length!

In any event, I wish you both success.

I don't remember reading links talking about this specifically during my research, though I have noted that quite a few men have reported that length did increase. Funny but I never really thought of that too much when talking to DH LOL. I wonder if T-Taping and other methods which put a more "pulling" tension on the skin outward might actually increase that as well. When you grown new skin it is actually growing much more than new skin, etc...it's the underlying muscle and other tissues which is also gained as well.

Maybe I should tell that to DH as a reported benefit. Maybe we should get out a tape measure

. Not that I think length matters so much anyhow...though maybe some men would find that to be a benefit!

Thanks for your reply, (thanks to everyone else who replied, too). We know it is actual, because we did take measurements. A fews months ago, before taking this on. The measurements do agree with what I could visually perceive, by a whole inch, (not to be too vivid

). His circ, though, was one that was tight to the point that it has caused him discomfort and even pain, so that kinda makes sense to me, since the shortage of skin could've held it back. I'm not so sure it is being lengthened, per se, or just restoring the length that was originally his. I think his issue may be more one of change and feeling a little upset by what hasn't been there all these years, but I thought some extra reassurance in the way of media validation might make him feel more normal and less alone.
Thanks again!

I understand his feelings but you both deserve a big pat on the back!

I don't have any links off hand, but as a current restorer, I can say from personal experience that gaining more length can happen. I wasn't painfully tight at all, but now into my fourth month I can say that I guess I was tighter than I thought! At first it was discouraging because it seemed like I wasn't getting any new skin, but then I realized it was because I've got more 'inside' that needs to be accommodated first.

That is exactly what happened to my husband. It was a nice surprise for us because neither of us knew to expect it. He gained an entire inch in length.

Actually, we did measure my husband's erect length before he ever heard of restoring. (Just playing around, ya know

) Then after he started restoring I told him that he "just felt bigger somehow" and we remeasured his erection and it was an inch bigger.

I'm on a very good list for restoring where these kinds of questions are answered in amazing detail by the experts across N. America who have been there, done that and have tons of good coaching for newcomers.

You might want to join it and ask your questions there.

I think you just send an email with the word, subscribe, in the body of the email. It has an active moderator.

The neat thing about restoring men is that they are so kind to each other. There are all types on that list=== straight, gay, military, older, younger, religious, not religious, etc and they all get along and seem to cut each other a lot of slack. It has sure opened my eyes to what harm circumcision can do.

I happily stand corrected!

Was he very tight and high to start with? Because that would make perfect sense...

To me, it seems in DH's case that his length was held back unnaturally by the lack of skin left for him when he was circ'd. He has said he has experienced pain with erections because the skin is so tight and has hair halfway up the shaft. So, when supplied with more skin, his um, 'manliness' could return to it's intended size. That's just my theory, for what it's worth.

 

[phatchristy]

I do believe, through the articles that I have read on tissue expansion, that methods which put additional tension on the penis in addition to the skin being stretched (such as t-tape and other methods pulling the penis outward) would also work to expand other tissues, and therefore adding more length to the penis as well.

I have additionally read reports of men with looser circumcisions also having additional length when fully restored from their starting points.

Perhaps the distinct increase in sensitivity leads to an increase in blood flow to the corpus cavernosum?
I call this the "New Toy Syndrome".
