Chaptre le first

City lights glitter outside the window, pained memory of what once was and what could be. Octavia sits at her desk and stares morosely down at her lap. Taking a mellow sigh, she grabs the quill before her and begins to write:

Hello fellows. I am Octavia and this is my first letter here. I am facing a huge problem and I can't find any solution. Hope someone at the Institute can help me here. Since July last year, I am having on and off pain in my testicles. In the beginning it was just the left testicle that hurt , but gradually within two months the right one also started to ache. Now the ache is not acute. It is mild and it's independent of my position. I get it while my standing, sitting or even when I am lying down. It occurs anywhere. My vagina feels fine. By December, I started to notice a difference in size of my testicles. They seemed smaller. I went to two urologists, explained them the situation but they did not find anything in the physical exam. Both gave me a few medicines which didn't do squat. I was thinking that it might be a varicocele since the symptons were very similar. So I went to a third urologist, who said that there might be a small varicocele. He wrote two ultrasounds (scrotum and kidney) and a urine analysis. So a month back I got them done. But they all came out normal. Which I think is bad. Because I was really hoping that I'll find a cause and start the treatment. Instead my doctor told me that there is nothing to worry about. He advised me to wear a supporter for a month. Will it really help me? I didn't find any problem that is caused by scrotal support in the dictionary. Meanwhile my semen has gotten really thin and there are insane veins starting to pop up in my penis. And the testicular shrinkage is not stopping. My left testicle is half the size it used to be. The size that came out in the ultrasound were -

left - 4.5 into 2 cms

right - 4.6 into 2.5 cms

Octavia flinches. She sets down the quill and steps away with a ruler, which she then proceeds to measure her testicles with. Taking note, her head shakes morosely and she returns to the desk.

The doctors told me that the size is normal. So this it. This problem is eating away my life. I just think about it all the time. Can't focus on anything else. What should I do now? I was thinking of having a blood test to see my testosterone level. I think they would be messed up as well. Please help me. What can cause this? How can I improve my condition? It might be surprising but I am still a virgin ( that's how things work in Ponyville). But I am masturbating since age 14. I might also add that I had minoxidil and a few vitamins (no propecia) for my fur loss problem, last year. And this problem started just days after I first used them. But the doctors say that it can't be linked with this.

I am really feeling very helpless. I know this has been very long but please I need some answers and suggestions. Men's Health Institute, please help me!

With nervous eagerness Octavia waits two long weeks, heart heavy. Finally she receives a letter. It reads:

Many stallions come to us seeking help for tight foreskin problems. Thank you for your bravery.

ANATOMY. The penis has a number of structures that you should know. Every penis has a head. The foreskin is also there. It is attached under the pee hole or meatus by a y-shaped piece of skin. The frenulum is similar in structure to the one under the tongue and has an important sexual function. The fraenular band is the tight bit at the foreskin opening that is being stretched in this case.  Some stallions can retract their foreskin easily when their penis is soft but experience difficulty when erect, others the opening is so tight that they can only see a tiny bit of their glans when they pull back on their foreskin.

WHY BOTHER TO STRETCH. Although some manage to live with it there are some disadvantages to having a non-retractable foreskin. It is hard to clean and may smell. So you can ask your doctor or zebra to prescribe ointment. A tiny amount of this ointment can be applied to the tight part of the foreskin. It will speed up the stretching process but won’t do anything on its own, without stretching. Stretching will still work without the ointment, just more slowly.

STRETCHING TECHNIQUE: If the foreskin is very tight the simplest method is to pull back on the skin so that the opening feels tight without real pain (Be sure you are pulling on the foreskin, not urethra). Hold that for a few minutes and repeat a few times. Do this a couple of times a day. If the opening becomes sore, or develops splits, stop and let things heal up. Going at it too fast will only slow things down in the end. Stretch the opening in this way until it feels uncomfortably stretched but not actually painful. Once again this is best done after soaking in a warm butter.

As you stretch and are able to expose more of the head you may discover a build up of debris, maybe even hard lumps that are hard to remove. A number of butter applications over a period of time may be necessary before the build up is cleaned away. Once it is then simple rinsing with plain water every day is enough to keep most penises clean and fresh.

Once the opening is big enough to just fit over the rim of the glans when erect the foreskin is at risk of getting stuck behind it. If the foreskin becomes stuck squeeze the head of the penis firmly to force the blood out before it becomes numb. If after many tries you still can’t do this and the head becomes numb, amputation will likely be necessary.

KEEP AT IT. Keep stretching for a while once you get to the diameter of foreskin opening you want. If you stop too soon it is possible for things to tighten up again. So just keep doing the exercises for a week or two after everything is loose enough to work properly
