So Im 11 months post cut and my glans haven't peeled or keritonised. I suffered from sever phimosis for years and my glans were never exposed, down to lack of knowledge when I was younger to pull the foreskin back, never had a dad around to tell me these things.
I was just wondering if this was normal, I see lots of posts about people glans peeling sometimes a matter of weeks after circumcision. I've been using coconut oil since month 5 but before that I didn't use any moisturiser. Should I expect this to happen in the future? I'm very happy my glans have retained its sensitivity so I'm not complaining but I don't want it to happen I'm the future if possible. Tia!

You may or may not peel off and since you haven't that's great for you ! Some activities might cause peeling off and is quite normal in some cases . Even if it does, applying little oil will help you out immensely and isn't something to worry much about ! Its not mandatory to apply the oil every day . Don't worry ! Also you are lucky since it hasn't keratinised for you ! Cheers !
I think keratinization is not the same as skin peeling off on glans. When the glans is exposed skin will harden a bit always. Sensation on glans skin will fade, but that not mean that you won't feel sensual pleasure on there, IMO.
This is correct. My glans never peeled. I was circumcised November 2019 & rather quickly (within 4 weeks or so) the new sensations of everything stimulating my newly exposed glans went away. That’s not to say I couldn’t feel sensual touch and pleasure- in fact I don’t think any sensitivity there decreased at all. I think mentally my body learned to ignore the signal inputs of every little swing and brush up in my underwear while going about my day. When I am aroused (thoughts of sex, viewing Sexual images, kissing my partner, being touched or touching my self down there) I feel everything. The body is very interesting and adaptable.
