Hi 77sxan, this is entirely up to you, if you feel better and think you can do it then carry on, however personally I think its to soon and you don't want to damage the op site, if you feel comfortable then go for it, hope this helps

ok thank you i will just wai9t is it bad to get erections 1 week in?

Hey 77sxan, that is entirely up to you, if you can excuse the phrase have a little play around and see how you get on, operations affect different people, play it by ear but as before just take it easy, you don't want to undo everything in this short period

do not indulge in penetrative sex for the first 5-7 weeks. I’d say err on the side of caution and start only in week 8.

You don’t want to hurt yourself or ruin the visual outcome of your procedure.

It’s hard to control that - more so, so soon after getting circumcised. Your glans are suddenly exposed and feel very exposed and aware and this leads to more frequent erections. The problem with getting erections is that it stretches the skin and your wound is still very raw. So if you can avoid it - a few simple steps can help to some extent:

- go pee. peeing reduces the urge or reason for erection a bit. Especially at night. If you wake up to erections… go pee.

- at night you can curl up and sleep on your side. That reduces a little the skin pulling/streching during erections.

- wear snug/well fitting briefs. And try and keep your penis pointing to your belly button and against your torso. You are keeping the larger sensitive side of your glans (penis head) against your torso and reducing some friction based sensation when you walk and move around.

- if you haven’t already, consider trimming or shaving your pubic hair. The hair can irritate or tickle and cause arousal or irritation.
