I had partial circumcision eleven day... - Men's Health Foru...
I had partial circumcision eleven days ago and I'm really horny, but I don't want to masturbate because of the stitches and swelling.

From my experience, the usual recommendation is to wait about 6 weeks before engaging in any sexual activity (and that does include masturbation). However, I'm not sure about a 'partial circumcision', but I would play safe and give the penis time for the swelling to subside, and the wound to heal completely.
I'm sorry to say that you probably do need to be patient.
It's not always easy, I appreciate, but you can do it. It's far better to be patient now rather than risk doing yourself damage, which will only delay your healing time further.
All good wishes - and good luck!

Well, you shouldn't masturbate now. I suggest you wait a little more. Till the stitches heal completely. To manage the libido, maybe you should do something else. Indulge in some other activity when you feel horny so that you could forget the horny feeling.
