It's been nearly four weeks now.
I'm sorry I haven't posted for ten days.
I've had better things to do than worry about discomfort, sensitivity, pain or general lifestyle nuisance. Reason? There really has been very little.
I'm now showering without a problem, sensitivity has dropped even further. I can jerk off, although I find using a condom makes it easier - like the good old days when I had a foreskin... which was the ONLY good thing having a tight foreskin was good for.
All the stitches are now gone. The last one finally dropped out over the weekend. You can still see where they were, and it is a mild but not to ugly scar, but apparently that will fade within three months. There is also a bit of a toughness or a ring underneath the skin where the new 'join' has been made. That, Doc Esh says, will take up to 18 months to soften up and fade away. Until then I'm not bothered because it doesn't look out of place and it's only mild.
So yep things have turned out pretty sweetly for me. But this blog is not over yet.
Not by a long shot.... or wad.
I still haven't had sex, and as much as I can't wait to try it, I can't help but feel that I've got something a little new done there and I don't gonna go breaking it. Like driving a Porsche out of a dealership and into a tree......
Plus I am STILL a little sensitive. Mostlyh on the underside because I think sat in my underwear it gets the least exposure. That area is always a bit warm and moist - there is no denying. But the rest of the glans I can touch no now problem, even rub... perhaps a little cautious still with the 'meatus' - the very tip - but I think it's just following suit and in a months time will be fine.
When I'm wearing a condom I could just about slap it around like a whip - whooooo! Now don't think I'm weird for using a condom without actually having sex. I just wanted to make sure I could get back in the habit of using them - kind of 're-learning to use them' in preperation for.......
... the next post which will hopefully be about my first post chop Sexual Encounter!
STAY TUNED!

Ahhh the weekends!
I'm sorry it's been a while since my last post.
But hey what's been to report? Things seem to have been getting better and better. I'm down to just two stitches now - from an original ten or so. Once the last two have fallen out I will feel like I really am getting back to normal.
I'm amazed at how quickly the sensitivity has dropped. Now don't get me wrong it's still there and BOY is it still sensitive, but things like showering, walking, sleeping, going to the bathroom and generally putting on and off underwear has become far less of a drama.
In terms of lifestyle I am pretty much completely back to normal.... well without propper masturbation or sex but at this rate give it a few weeks.
I can now most times touch the glans right up to the tip without any problem AT all. There is sometimes a bit of uncomfortable sensitivity at the very tip - the meatus - but it's not enough sensitivity to ruin my day. And I'm sure it will go down over time.
RUBBING the skin is still rather sensitive, but that's just IT: it has become sensitive and I can no longer say that it is painful. Once upon a time it wasn't just painful either - it was EXCRUCIATING! Thos days are gone thank god.
So I will keep on keeping you all posted. So far so good. I'm not even up to week three yet and I'm feeling very positive and glad that I have taken this step.
I'm thinking within a few months I may even be at the stage where I will forget that there was ever a problem. Touch wood. No pun intended there by the way.
Anyway it's Saturday and Fridays hangover is still riding with me. Better get some rest in before my partying lifestyle kicks back into gear again tonight. Saturdays are always much more fun.
Speak soon.

Tomorrows two weeks ago was the big day...
It's been thirteen days since Doc Eshman (that's his name) chopped it off.
I have to say I am getting more and more positive by the day. I even managed to jerk off again last night. Well I wouldn't call it jerking off - more of a bizzare frenzied desperate act - but it did the bloody trick.
I am now wearing underwear without sticking to the inside of them too much. This is good. It means that when I go to the bathroom I don't have to peel myself off my underwear, which was an uncomfortable thing to do. There is still sensitivity when my glans are RUBBED, but little to none now when merely touched. The only difference being when they are wet or sticky there is still some sort of mild pain when I pull my finger away - but when dry no drama. The rubbing of course includes inside my underwear as I walk so it's two steps forward one step back. But the mild discomfort from walking now is only helping to speed up my path to a less sensitive manhood so NO PAIN NO GAIN.
In any event, I'm expecting that even when wet the touch will be pain freee within a week or two, and that perhaps within two to three weeks rubbing will be fine too.
BIG NEWS IS:
Saw Doc Eshman today for the first time since the op. He said it looks fine and things are progressing well. He asked if I could touch my glans - I said "Too right I can!". According to the Doc it should be anytime after four weeks or so before I'm ready for - wait for it.... SEX!!
Although possibly up to six weeks (bummer). Deppends when I'm ready said Eshy. ANd when I do finally jump to the head of the queue I am to take it easy first few times.
So all is good good good. I can say I am chin up and looking forward not backward.
More soon.

Been a few days since I posted last...
Things have been getting better - although slowly.
First thing is first. Today care of some porn, I managed to create enough 'movement' down there to get rid of, shall we say, twelve days of pent up pressure. Thank god!!
It seems I'm now at a point where thouching the glans is becoming easier, and I've even moved over to wearing undewear some of the time. Gauze and dressings? Those things are sooo last week. And although it's uncomfortable in underwear, and sometimes the tip of my penis sticks to the undies and is painful to remove, I figure these are the things I NEED to go through to further desensitise.
According to my best googling, a process called Keritinization (spelling?) is slowly taking place. This means that the newly exposed skin on the glans is, over time, toughening up by being expsosed to anything from the air, to bedsheets and now underwear. A little bit of helpful massage today may be helping the cause though.
One thing though, I can now TOUCH without a problem. Sometimes a bit more sensitive at the very top around the meatus, but when things are wet or when I move or rub or create fritcion in any way that still creates a painful sensation.
Last week I couldn't even touch. Next week I'm hoping I can rub. Perhaps in a few weeks hen the stitches are out I will be able to do a lot more 'rubbing' - perhaps even something more than rubbing. Yes sex would be great - but it seems soooooo far away which is depressing.
I am surrounded by my friends and their boasts of sexual conquests. You'd be amazed or possibly turned off by the ammount of sex my friends have. I like to think it always makes for some good stories. *Sigh - anyway I hoper to join them... well not THEM.... but you know what I mean.
This keritinization process apparently takes around three weeks or so, but I am personally banking on four for myself, or maybe even five to SIX weeks considering I had a LOT of sensitivity to begin with. In anyway event I am seeing a light at the end of the tunnel because ast least I am MONITORING things as getting better over time.
Seeing the Urologist on Monday. Will see what he says and report back to the blog!
PS. Thanks for the posts of support!
