I read somewhere today on one of the groups that we aren't stretching the "skin" per se, but are stretching the cells between the skin sirfaces and causing them to divide, rather than the skin cells. I need a perosn with training to tell me the truth of this. Another perosn was stressing the benefits of not moisturising, to allow the outside skin layer to slough off and to hope for faster regeneration of the skin around the new, fuller, "core" of growing cells. I'm not very sure about either thought.

I think I'm getting towards the time when tension would be helpful. I need to create a comfy strap to wear around the thigh, just above the knee, and to attatch an unobtrusive piece of elastic to it, adding a bit to the pill tube like Jere has done to connect it to. Weights seem useless to me because I have a job where I sit all the time.

I could construct tensions from "ouch!" all the way to almost none. The best source of constant eleastic tension seems ot be thing bungee cord which I can get in any length and almost any diameter from a yacht chandlery

Bugger. I blew it today. It was all in the timings for the day, and they all went so wrong that I failed to do a thing. I suppose it happens. I got to 9pm and thoughts "Well, a couple of hours just isn't worth it."

Got back into the swing today. I was very pleased to see no regression even without tugging yesterday. In fact the ruffles seem to have consolidated, and rollover was there in the shower. Better yet sexual sensitivity is increased; not, i think, as a result of the "lay-day" but just overall.

Taped up late again, at 2:15 pm. No lack of commitment, just difficult timings. Otherwise nothing at all to report. A boring day, really.

Tuesdays are good tugging days. I get the whole day uninterrupted.

I am noticing minor soreness inside the urethra. I need to work out why this is happening. I dare not screw up the surgery I had, because that wil take me back to square one.

Very pleased on untaping to see "persistent ruffles"

Today was good. I am soon going to take this month;s compoarison pictures and update that page, Concentrated ruffles behind the rim, long lasting rollover on untaping, and a betterfeleing of sensitivity. OK, it;s a dull day for a report, but life is like that.

Decent tugging day, and good pressure. Untaping is getting less painful, too. usually I try to untape "under water" to soften. Days when I go to the gym I have to untape in the toilet. I nearly dropped the whole shebang down the privy. But that isn't what you want to hear!

The whole dick looks very different since the start of the process. Lots of semi-spare skin waiitng behind the corona for enough pressure to fold it over one day. Soon! Please?

But seriously, I am enjoying the process. Even the minor inconveniences will be worthwhile when I have a foreskin back

Some days nothing much happens. This is one of them. I taped up and noon, untaped at midnight. Now I see the problems Samuel Pepys had when writing his diary.

Oh bollocks! It's been a great day, but I taped up very late: 5pm. That was no big deal. I could see a clear seven hours until bedtime. Then, at 9:15 I blew it!

Pissing with the pill tube in place means uncapping and unpacking the tube, and peeing through it, then drying it and repacking with the old packing, maybe even packing it tighter. and oyu have to sit to pee. No big deal.

Until tonight. Trousers down, boxers down, sat down and started to have a long needed much wanted pee. Ah the relief!

But no tinkling sound. I hadn't uncapped or unpacked. Arrrghhhh! So I did it late. A handful of wet cotton wool, wet Kleenexe, wet micropore tape. I bet everyone does it more than once.

Anyway I untaped for the day. I know it only takes two minutes to re-rig, but I've had enough for today. I guess I'm pissed off!

Taped and untaped and retaped today. At least I didn't piss while stil taped and packed. A good day.

Now today I have a problem. I noticed blood in my semen. I need to take a break to let whatever it is heal. I suspect one of two places, the most unpleasant being if the urethral graft is loosening. So I am going to cease operations for either two days or until no further blood is present, whichver happens sooner.

It's no big deal. It was always going to be a long road

Day 2 of the 2 day tug free days

An unremarkable day. Tugigng was comfortable again and there has been no recurrence of blood. Quietly happy.

It may be valentines day, but nothing unusual to report. Wait, no! In the gym, in the shower, while no rollover per se was present (this seems to ebb and flow like the tide) the shaft skin formed a very "bunched uo behind the rim" appearance, and no "pre-rium tight shaft" was visible.

If this is a true indicator of progress, I would say I may have increased the available skin by a "double eighth of an inch", thatis an eighth out and another one back. I wonder if the relationship between tugging hours and increased skin is a linear relationship? if so I could plot the graph of increase over time.

To me, from here, the estimated "earliest time until flaccid coverage" is two years, which is no big deal at all

This is beginning to get repetitive. I mean the daily stuff.

I need to give some serious thoughts to the diary, apart from anything else it could get very boring!

Starting tomorrow, i am going to alter how I report things here. I wil report unusual events only. Thsi means there wil be some gaps, and just dates and hours tugged. My roller coaster emotional ride has stabilised, and that is mainly what I was recording.

OK, today is the final "Daily Entry" for a while. Not a good tugging day. Gym, medical examination and chiropractor mean I stand no chance to tape up today. I'm not concerned, because there is a good queue of ruffles on the shaft waiting to topple over and start to form permanent coverage.

I should have thought of this before. I have dead time in the car, to and from work or anywhere. So I started to do manual tugging by grasping the pill tube and exerting strong pressure while driving along. Nothing much to report yet, though.
