Answer 1

Well, I don’t know about regular guys… but my family has this (apparently genetic) thing where the very tip of the urethra splits into 2 right near the end. The solution from the Dr’s is to simply slice between the 2. Sometimes the flesh between doesn’t want to come apart easily. Imagine putting your thumb at the end of a water hose.
