Six months in, hello!

Hi everyone! I've been restoring for just shy of six months now and I'm finally starting to see some noticable progress. It's very exciting. I work from home, using my Airforce during the day, with some manual tugging on the couch on the evening. I lotion up at night.

I discovered this forum and the topic of restoration while browsing Reddit. I don't remember exactly who or where but someone mentioned this forum either in r/prostateplay or r/aneros. I skimmed a few posts both here and in the photos forum and instantly knew I was going to do this. Within a week I was eagerly waiting for my Airforce to arrive to mark the start of my journey.

I'm in my early 40s and was circumcised as an infant. Why am I doing this? My primary goal is improved sensation. I feel robbed and I want to take back what I can. I want that shiny head and the turtleneck I was supposed to have. It's beyond fucked up that we mutilate children in this fashion.

I am very lucky to share I have an amazingly supportive wife. I see a lot of posts here (and in a lot of other male dominated spaces) asking how to broach the topic to their partners. I am relieved to say this is something I cannot relate to at all. My wife is supportive and unfazed by all the "weird" stuff I throw at her. She makes all of this easy for me. At the end of the day if I'm on the couch relaxing, she'll lovingly chastise "why aren't you tugging?!"

Anyways, thanks for being a safe and supportive space. Our society is truly sick when males can't turn to our IRL partners and friends for basic support and understanding on topics like this.
