Note: The following is a public version of a blog describing one man's routine for restoring by manual tugging.

Manual tugging is using your hands to tension the skin on your penis to induce mitosis.  Manual tugging can be used in conjunction with or instead of T-taping or a device.  It is possible to restore a foreskin using only manual methods.

I almost exclusively use manual tugging to restore my foreskin.  I have both a TLC-X and a DTR, but I use them only a couple hours a week.  I manually tug 1 to 2 hours a day, every day.  My routine fits into my lifestyle and I don't feel that I have to make time to tug. I just tug at the same time I am doing what I normally do.

My current tugging routine is:

When I take my morning shower, I tug for about 5 to 15 minutes. I like long, hot showers. Instead of just standing there enjoying the hot water, I stand there tugging. Also, the water makes it easier and less irritating to tug my inner foreskin.

I often walk around the house naked or half-naked.  When I am reading the paper in the morning I tug in between turning the pages.  That is another 5 to 15 minutes.  I tug while chewing my breakfast.

During the day, whenever I go to the bathroom I use a stall.  I take an extra 1 to 2 minutes and tug.  I drink a lot of water, so I go to the bathroom about every 1 to 2 hours (seems like I go about 8 times a day for a total of about 10 to 15 minutes of tugging).

In the evening I like to have at least one tugging session of 20 minutes or more.  I do this whenever I have privacy and don't need my hands for anything, such as when I watch watch television or listen to music.

How I manually tug my foreskin:

I primarily use method 2. I tug flaccid or erect. After I grew some slack skin, I found that it is easier to manually tug when erect, but I still tug when flaccid. My skin has grown a lot since I started, so I also use the squeeze-stretch technique.  

I manually tug for a few seconds, relax, and repeat, over and over again.  I apply tension for anywhere from 1 to 20 seconds, but usually around 2-5 seconds.

The dorsal side of my foreskin is shorter than the ventral side. For a while I did a few minutes every day of manual tugging method 1, focusing on the dorsal side of my foreskin. I never noticed any results from that extra tugging, so I stopped. As my skin grew longer, I notice that my skin tube looks like a normal intact foreskin. The bottom of my foreskin just sticks out slightly more than the top.

I believe that the key to skin growth is tension, not the number of hours tugging. I use a lot of tension, but I have never hurt myself. I stretch until the skin goes taut. Then I stretch just a little bit more. It does not hurt and it is not painful when I tug.

I also believe that frequent tugging during the day with rests between also is key to good growth.
