How do I find the Point of Equilibrium (POE)?

The Point Of Equilibrium (POE) is a point on your shaft skin that when pulled forward puts equal tension on both the inner and outer skin. It usually falls somewhere about or forward of the circumcision scar when you first begin restoration then gradually moves back toward the belly. At one time it was considered of primary importance in determining where to place the center line of a T-Tape. With the introduction of the Pill Tube method and later the tapeless tuggers, it became apparent that the POE was significantly less important than originaly believed. It still is a good idea to try and get the t-tape placed close to the POE but the fine accuracy once prescribed is no longer considered necessary. In fact, some of us once experimented with deliberatly taping off the POE to see if we could replicate one man's experience that doing so would jump start skin growth. Too few men participated in the trial for the results to be meaningful, but if you decide to use t-tapes, keep the concept in mind as a possible way to get off a plateau.

As a circumcised men gets older, the pleasurable sensation from sexual activities being to diminish from the keratinization. The skin of the unprotected glans becomes thicker over the years, and the never cells become more and more difficult to stimulate. When enough new shaft skin has developed to keep the glans covered, the keratinized layers will begin to shed. This results in an increase in sensitivity.
