So, it's been 8 months since I realized I had a problem, I am 21 now. I posted a bit these last 8 months, and have stretched on and off. I am starting to REALLY THINK that my case is unsolvable, and circumcision is the only potential solution(though I doubt I'll ever go this route).

I cannot retract flaccid or erect. I cannot come close to retracting while flacid, much less erect. I have the betamethasone 0.05, I have not been using it lately, as it did nothing. I used it for a month 2-3 times applied/day, about January 15-Feb. 15, then took a break, then about a month later started using it applied 1x/day for a few weeks, and gave that up. I don't really see a point to it anymore.

Obviously I cannot get my fingers in there, it is pinhole phimosis basically, and extremely tight. I don't really attempt structured stretching sessions anymore, just some days I'll stretch around for like 5 minutes, other days I'll be sitting at my computer, and will hold stretches on and off for an hour.

The thing is, I SHOULD HAVE SEEN AT LEAST SOME SORT OF RESULT over these last 8 months, even with the only semi-effort I gave it. I bought a glansie, that didn't help at all, and HURTS LIKE HELL. I should have seen something. Is this incurable? I have to be incurable. So many people here seem to resolve the issue because they can already retract flaccid, just not erect, and end up solving it with little problem.

What am I supposed to do? This is hopeless? Seriously...my foreskin is as tight as 8 months ago, with all I've done, and even if 'all I've done' isn't much, I should have at least seen something surely?

Those are the words of Winston Churchill. They're also mine.

I encourage you to work at it without interruption until you see those results. You may have missed your opportunity for success by taking those breaks.

On the sands of hesitation rest the bones of countless thousands, who, with victory in their reach, sat down to rest, and resting, died.

All triumphs begin with belief first. Believe.

Thanks, will keep trying, report in a few months as usual..

I'd really like to hear from you more often, and I promise to do my best to keep you on track with this.

Im suprised you haven't seen results within 8 months! I've seen and felt them within 8 days! they are only slight but definitley noticeable. Keep It up! i have got a suggestion. I was talking to a Homeopathist about this problem and he suggested that I apply Aloe Vera to the foreskin because it has properties which enable the skin to stretch. Ive been applying it 3 times a day and doing the exercises given to me by jim an i am seeing results! Keep it up, no man should have to lose his foreskin!!

Thanks for the tip.
