Skin healing after Circumcision

[Garik]

Hello everyone,

I know this question may be posted here before, but I want to know your personal stories, not what literature says.

My question is simple:

How long does it take for the penis skin to regain its flexibility and smoothness after Circumcision?

Can you please share your experience and stories.

thank you!

Well... I really noticed the biggest difference when the scar softened up a bit around the 3-month mark and felt far more able to move up and down. At over 4 months healed my skin is definitely stretching like it used to and my boners are strong and comfortable. The only issue I get now is if I have sex too often I can get bit sore under the scarline - case in point, had sex this Wednesday night (condom and lube), then had a wank on Thursday (lube), had sex again Friday (lube only, then lube and condom). And today (Saturday) I'm a bit sore - but that was probably because we had some pretty vigorous unprotected sex yesterday. But, I'm only at 4 months healed... I hear this sort of post-game soreness slowly fades away. Long and the short is... it takes time, and we're all different.

Well who's been a busy boy then? Seriously tho I'd agree it took a while for the post sex soreness to fade away so I know where you're coming from.

LOL... that was a bit boastful. 😳 I didn't really think how that sounded. But... I've abstained from anything for the last 2 days and it feels better now, so I think I'm still at that stage where the post-sex soreness is a thing to deal with. My doc was suggesting it can take 6-8 months healing for post-sex soreness to die down for a man of my age.

Hey I didn't think you were boasting at all. I enjoyed reading it and my thought was that this guy really has got his mojo back, just making up for lost time maybe. Took me about a year to stop being sore after sex but still get it occasionally if I'm too enthusiastic

[Arclight1979 in reply to Man7Cut]

I think it's all about headspace and accepting that it takes time for the new normal to set in. Oh yeah, my mojo is definitely back - and after a couple days down time I'm wanting to do it again rather than not. My wife says it's like we're teenagers again learning what works.

[Man7Cut in reply to Arclight1979]

You know what, I think that's great. Must be brilliant for your wife as well to have her man back performing at his best

[Arclight1979 in reply to Man7Cut]

I think she's just relieved I'm okay again. She just says nice things like "you're back", like she can tell I'm feeling myself again after the bumpy early weeks and settling into my new normal. She told me it's easy for a woman to assume it'll be okay quickly, but the reality is that for a man while the operation is 'simple' the recovery period isn't simple. And, there's nothing like a vigorous sex sesh to show your lady you're back firing on all cylinders, even if you are a bit sore for a couple of days afterwards. LOL

You're right people don't realise what a big deal it is for a man to get cut in such an intimate place. Not just women either I've got a very unsympathetic mate,who actually found it funny that I was having it done at my age. The bit of soreness was probably worth it though, 😁

[Arclight1979 in reply to Man7Cut]

You're right, I too have an unsympathetic mate who kept saying "it was just a bit of skin" and I was like "try it, mate". You're one way for 40 years and now the most sensitive bit of you is completely different forever. Haha, yeah, the soreness is like a medal for doing an amazing plough job.

[Man7Cut in reply to Arclight1979]

That was the same reply that I gave my mate haha. Always good to hear your updates. From one cut guy to another, the very best regards my man

[Arclight1979 in reply to Man7Cut]

Thanks, mate. Been a while since I actually updated comprehensively... might do a bigger post to celebrate 4.5 months healed. Lots of willy jokes.

[Man7Cut in reply to Arclight1979]

I'll wait for you to brighten up my day then. Willy jokes quite acceptable!

As arclight says we are all different. We abstained from any Sex for six weeks to let the skin recover. I found Bio Oil helped to heal the scar tissue.

[Arclight1979 in reply to jaglad]

It was 100% the unprotected sex... and it was more soreness inside my penis under the scar, I probably just roughed up the healing tissue.

It takes time, around 6 weeks for wound healing. Can take 3-5 months for scar to losen.

You can apply/massage with coconut oil
