I'm 15, not yet sexually active, uncircumcised, and i can't get my foreskin over my glan whether it is flaccid or erect, i've tried stretching for about a 2 weeks, and it is not working, i'm not even sure i'm stretching it right, I can't go see my GP as she is my girlfriends mum, HELP!!”
I'm 16 and I can retract my foreskin all the way when flacid but when erect I have to physicaly pull it back which is sometimes uncomfortable, when I do this is only just goes over the head but is very uncomfortable at this point. When flacid I notice that the around the head at parts it's attached to a small bit of skin. I'm very worried and want to know if this is normal and also if its possible to have sex?”
im 14. on my penis when i try to pull my foreskin back there is a little peice of skin attched to the head of the penis. is this normal if not pleasee help”
Up until I was 15 I thought it was normal that my foreskin didn't retract except for when I had sex, and it felt too sensitive to pull it back unless I was having sex. But eventually it just began to retract with my erections and it gradually became less sensitive.”
My foreskin too did not retract till I was 15 and my first girlfriend did not realise that when she started to masturbate me, there was a lot of pain but the pleasure was so much that I did not wince. After my orgasm I saw that she had pulled my foreskin all the way back. She used to insist that I keep it pulled back, through the relationship we shared for two years after which we broke up. I am 21 now and still wear my foreskin back and my girls love it because it stays clean and dry.”
I can pull my foreskin back fine without pain when it is flacid and erect,but I have to physically pull it back. I'm not sure if this is a problem or not. I'm 15 and I'm sexually active, I've never had any complaints, but I'm just not sure. Cheers”
Ok so I have tried the stretching exercises recommended here and they work fine i can now retract my foreskin easily after just a couple of weeks HOWEVER the glans and just behind it sting when they are touched (which was never a problem when touched through the foreskin) There is no actual damage to it or anything it just stings and I just want to know if that's just sensitivity like that of the skin on your eyes?”
heya. this is a condition called phimosis and alot more common than you'd think. when i had it a few years ago my gp suggested circumcision however i did some further research and stretching honestly does the trick, there are plenty of sites out there that will show you gentle safe streching techniques (usually with steriod cream or some sort of lubricant). also advisable after a warm bath. i followed these instructions and was fully retractable within 1 month. my only regret is acting so late and wasting years on unnecessary worry up to that point. i still recommend seeing your gp though as they will offer advice and much sought after confidentiality. good luck”
im 17 and up intill about a yr and a half ago i always thot if i pulled it bak then it would get stuck but the easiest way to pull it bak without it hurtin is have sex dont be scared the foreskin loosens after a while and pulls bak easily so guys who are scared give it a go dont be shy”
I'm 13 and shortly after masterbation and my penis is not erect the top half is twice the size of the bottom half is! I'm scared and I do not know what to do, I don't want a circumsission I just want it back to normal. Also when I pull the foreskin back it just covers over the head. Please help.”
im 17 and i have problems, so much that i have to stick a wet cotton bud down between my foreskin and the glands just to clean! i have been sexually active since i was 12 and a half but only ever got my foreskin back about 2 times, i just left it, but i fear that i have something rong and that i am not feeling the full pleasue i should, i dont want a cercumsision, i just want to be able to release the beast from its grimey cage, plus it will be easier to clean!!”
i have just turned 18 and i think i have this problem, im not sexualy active yet because i didn't think my penis looked right and it has stopped me from being in a relationship aswell....i just don't no who to talk to or what to do?! someone help me!”
im 14, i can pull my foreskin over my penis when its not erect and when it is erect but the forskin seems to make like a ring at the bottom of my penis head, is the foreskin ment to go under the head or is this normal”

I had the same problem until about ten minutes ago!!!
I'm 15 btw. I just gradually pulled it back and when it started to hurt i would hold it there for a bit, then keep pulling. I eventually got it, it was a bit uncomfortable but i figure if i just keep doing this it will loosen up. It doesn't retract automatically when I'm erect though, but i have read this isn't a problem to be honest, i started to masturbate with the skin pulled back, and i think it feels better masturbating with the skin over the head!!!!!!!!!
Good luck everyone that has the same problem i had.

I think circumsistion is a bit extreme in most cases. If you're young, then it may simply be that it hasn't had to be pulled back much before and so wont be used to it. There are a few techneques - while flacid, pull the forskin back as far to as you feel comfortable, then let it back. eventually you'll be able to losen and make it less restrictive... eventualising in it being pulled past the head. alteratively, having sex without a condom (of course when and only when you are both comfortable with this and have both been to your GP for STI screening) will force the foreskin to be pulled back. Take it slowly and be patient.”
I had a similar experiance last year, it got so bad i went to and from my GP 3 times the forth time i saw another gp who recomended further investigation, resulting in a circumsition - the best thing i could have had. SEE YOU GP”
well, sometimes i have this problem aswell,, my partner (who happens to male) all ways torments me about my non-reclinable penis, this website has given me many tips and now my penis is fully adjustable after seeing the doctor
lots of love”
I'm in my mid fifties and have always had a tight foreskin. This was never a problem when I was sexually active however this became an issue recntly when I met a new partner after 3 years of celibacy. On the GP's advice I had a circumcision but it has raised more problems than it sorted. I would recommend circumcision as a last resort only. Try the stretching exercises suggested here. From my experience regular intercourse is particularly effective!”
im 15, i had this problem when i was 14, after about 6 months of on and off trying to retract it, i can now fully retract it over my head, but it is still a little tight, but as i keep retracting it, it has started to stretch and i have nothing to worry about. dont worry about it, if you can only see the top of the helmet then just practice retracting the foreskin until you feel a little pain. i have spoke to a freind and he has the same problem. ps. it took me about 7 months over all.”
I couldnt really explain the problem in the original question because of the word limit. But what it is, is when I am flaccid its fine, I can do what i like with it, pull it back, leave it up front. But when I have an erection it stays up front and to make it come down so my glads are fully showing I have to pull it and it hurts a little.
But I have spoken to a friend who coinsidently has the same problem! We discussed it together, and found a solution. Which was the stretching thing.
Oh and Im 15 by the way.
But I have done some 'stretches' the last couple of night, and its becoming less painfull to do it, so hopefully in the end it will resolve the problem. But if it doesent, I know where to go ;)
Once again, thanks for your advice it really has helped.”
ive just turned 16 and have been with my parter for 2 years. ive been having sex for 1 year now and my parter says its hurts when we have sex now. im confused and dunno what to do”
my current boyfriend had the same problem when we got together two years ago it meant we couldn't do anything sexual at first, he was referred to the hospital and given a cream to rub in daily to losen the skin but typical man he nevered used it. the skin has losened now after a few months of sexual activity and he isnt bothered by it anymore. its a good idea to talk to your parents if you can as it was only when he needed to go to the hospital and had to tell his mum that he found out his dad had the same problem”
I had the same problem unfortunatly I retracted the skin too hard and I pulled it too far causing my foreskin to rip the scene was horrfic as blood was everywhere so if I was you id recommend you see your GP for advice on what to do.”
If you don't get it sorted soon you may end up splitting it like my boyfriend did and then going in for an op! Go to your GP, it's very common and if they.ve seen one penis, they've seen them all! ;-) Good luck.”
I had the same thing. You should go and see your GP. Its nothing too bad to worry about. I went to the GP and they gave my cream whih helped stretch the foreskinn. The very worse that can happen is that you would need to get circumcised.”
It shouldn't retract by itself, you should pull it back. Depending on your age, its because the foreskin isn't loose enough this might hurt at first. If you haven't full exposed the head of your penis, you should graducally retract over a course of a month until you reveal the head of your penis. There shouldn't be a lot of pain but this will go in time.”
you have somthing called phimosis which there are many differnt types of i would recommend doing some reasearch on this. This is a small band preventing the retraction however you can try stretching the band which the body does naturally by pulling it back gradually,this is best done with an erection, the more you do it the better”
Your foreskin may be too tight. This is quite common and can be corrected with a small operation. It's also possible that there is a problem with an enlarged head of the penis caused by infection etc. See your doctor.”
This happened to me the first time someone got in my bed. I'd had erections before- but this really did it for me. It was actually excruciating at first. It ruined the event and she wasn't particularly sympathetic about it. I was afraid I might need surgery - but after a short while it just loosened up on its own and I've only had compliments about it ever since.”
Hi
I had a boyfriend who suffered from a similar affliction. There are several things that can cause that (as i understand) but i cannot tell you all or even most of them - I am not a medical professional. But i do know that none of them are particulaly serious - IF TREATED.
Foolishly, my boyfriend hid this from me putting himself at risk every time we had sex. ( i dont want to scare you but if you have sex and your foreskin does not retract properly, it can tear. I imagine that is not fun)
Eventually he was referred for a medical circumcision, and afterwards never suffered any pain at all.
my advice in the first instance is SEE A DOCTOR. It does not have to be your own gp, it can be any doctor you feel you can talk to. But it is vitally important. If you are having sex you can be putting yourself at serious risk of harm, and think how unfair it is for your partner?! Imagine how he/she would feel if, like me, they find out after x number of months of sex that every time you had sex you were putting yourself at risk?
and even if you ar not having sex right now, do you really want to be in pain every time you give yourself a friendly? or even just see one of those calendars in your local garage?
The operation is very simple, an out-patient operation, recovery is usually complete within a month.
Surely a little embarrassment (if you are embarrassed) and an anasthetic is small price to pay to enjoy sex/masturbation/er ections how they should be enjoyed?
please see a medical professional, and i hope everything works out for you!”
You may have something or experience a condition known as Phimosis. I struggled with this for years which resulted in a build up of Smegma ( as i couldn't pull the foreskin back to clean the penis) which was very embarrassing when it came to receiving Oral for one thing.
It also meant i had to be very careful when having sex because if the foreskin retracted fully during sex, i would have to stop immediately due to the pain and then try and get the skin back over the head as quickly as possible (this took up to 2 hours) before it got stuck there and require an emergency circumcision. I would reccommend visiting your GP so they can assess whether your condition is this extreme. I eventually got a circumcision at the age of 23 after visiting my GP about it and i'm so glad i did. I had hummed and hawed about it for years and was really scared about the thought of getting surgery on my penis but my mtoviation in the end was meeting the woman of my dreams and wanting to be comfortable during sex, for both of our sakes. It really hurt for about 4 weeks afterwards but the long term benefits really are worth it. Go see your GP matey!!!”
It sounds like you have a Phimotic Ring in your foreskin - basically this is a hard piece of skin tissue that you will have developed as an infant, that being hard makes it difficult to maneuver.
If you are keen to retract your foreskin all the way for intercourse reasons - it is possibly to SAFELY stretch this skin area - although you definitely should seek advice from your Doctor, as they may be able to prescribe you with creams to help this.
Although many men just live their life with their ring, myself included!
As a huge extreme, circumcision can obviously resolve this, but I certainly wouldn't even recommend going down those lines!”
i had the same problem, its at a young age , deffinately over 10, but i went to my doctor and he told me what to do so its best going to your doctor. But what i did is stretches, pulling my foreskin back how far i could until it hurt 3 times a day , remember not at the point of where it hurts, just before that, stretch the foreskin back and hold for 10 elephants seconds he said 3 times a day. After a week or 2 it worked. After that you dont need to keep on doing it, he said it is because you are young and something to do with ballooning, but anyway he said get used to the foreskin being streched and it will be fine after.
Hope this helps”
I spent several years with this problem and did nothing despite the pain. My girlfriend, now my wife, booked me in at the doctors and they sent me to the hospital. After a formal circumcision I realised that I'd been stupid not to get help earlier.”
i had this problem mate this is painful at first pull it back under the shower that helped me and just when it's flacid just pull back and pu it over again do this a couple of times it worked well for me”
i had this when i was about the same age, i had previously seen the dr about this, he informed me to have a warm bath and gently pull the foreskin back to help stretch it. i did this and it worked, i will say that it does take time so dont try and pull it all the way the first time!! do it a little bit at a time. also i didn't just pull the foreskin back but also pulled it away from the body to help stretch it. hope this helps and good luck! p.s im now 27 and had no further problems”
I actually experienced something I've never heard anyone else speak of. When I was a young teenager I had a similar thing happen, it seemed almost that my foreskin in a way was fused to my penis. Of course if wasn't but because I'd never used it in such a way in 15 years of growing up it took some time for the skin to retract fully. To begin with this retraction was a little painful as the skin was actually 'stuck' don't pull it and don't force it but in time your body will sort itself out and relax as you get more and more erections or begin to have sex. If it continues to be painful and doesn't improve please go and see a doctor and don't be embarressed by this.”
See your GP. They can treat it, in most cases it's stretching exercises or steroid cream I think. I'm not an expert but try KY Jelly or other lubricant.”
i know many people who had the same problem,
the key is to make sure you keep trying. it may hurt and be uncomfortable. its a slow process but aslong as you keep trying it will go back, espeicially during sex”
I kind of have the same problem as you, i have to physically pull it back but i wouldn't say it hurts. it comes back on its own some of the way but the rest is all me.”
this happened to me aswell, but what happened was i went to my gp and asked for help! they suggested i have a bath at least twice a week and in the bath (when the water is still relitivly hot) pull it back then!”
Tight foreskins are quite common but it is important to be able to pull the foreskin back to keep your penis clean. As a last option a doctor will carry out a circumcision, but in many cases you can gently stretch the foreskin yourself.
Don't be frightened to see a doctor if pulling the foreskin back hurts too much.”
slowly pull the foreskin back when you penis is flaccid until you feel it is a little uncomfortable. then bring it back to normal. it may help doing this in the shower whilst cleaning, as the water will act as a lubricant. Also during masturbation try and pull it back when the natural lubricant is are a plenty. Try not to hurt yourself though!”
The reason the foreskin doesn't retract is due to the skin being too tight. You need to sit in a warm bath and coax the skin back - don't leave it too long like an ex-partner of mine who ended up having a circucision at the age of 17 (he was too embarrassed to speak to his parents and his doctor). We spent years looking a foreskin restoration, which is a very slow process but is possible!!! So, each time you're in the bath try stretching the skin a little - you are more relaxed and should hopefully hurt less. If this does not stop it hurting when you pull the foreskin back I would go and see your doctor and visit the GUM clinic as they are trained in all matters genital!”
Sorry, squire, but your best option is to go to see your GP. I gather this is a relatively common problem, which can be solved by a straightforward operation. Best of luck.”
Having not seen it I can't tell you but it sounds like it may be too tight. This is by no means an unusal problem and I have seen it before.
It would be best to see your GP, don't be embaressed they have seen them before! Or to a GU walk in clinic who deal daily with such things. If it is too tight then it is easy to fix and if it is not then they will find out why it is painful”
my boyfriend has the same 'problem' but its not really a problem- he says it often feels better for sexual pleasure and i think it looks better :) if it hurts when you pull it back the foreskin probably just isnt very stretchy but this isnt a problem either.”
u might be young...wats ur age?
if u r below 15 w8 for sometime...and if still there is a problem u can always get a circumcision done...cirumcision means surgically remving some or all parts of your foreskin...u will be able to sexually function in a week after circumcision”

In many men the foreskin is too tight to draw back over the glans and doesn't loosen by itself. This can make sex painful -- it did for me.
>>>But no operation is needed!!!<<<
You can stretch it yourself. You have to be very gentle and stretch a little more every day. Search online for "phimosis".”

im 15, i had this problem when i was 14, after about 6 months of on and off trying to retract it, i can now fully retract it over my head, but it is still a little tight, but as i keep retracting it, it has started to stretch and i have nothing to worry about. dont worry about it, if you can only see the top of the helmet then just practice retracting the foreskin until you feel a little pain. i have spoke to a freind and he has the same problem. ps. it took me about 7 months over all.”

Hey guys, thanks for all your advice.
I couldnt really explain the problem in the original question because of the word limit. But what it is, is when I am flaccid its fine, I can do what i like with it, pull it back, leave it up front. But when I have an erection it stays up front and to make it come down so my glads are fully showing I have to pull it and it hurts a little.
But I have spoken to a friend who coinsidently has the same problem! We discussed it together, and found a solution. Which was the stretching thing.
Oh and Im 15 by the way.
But I have done some 'stretches' the last couple of night, and its becoming less painfull to do it, so hopefully in the end it will resolve the problem. But if it doesent, I know where to go ;)
Once again, thanks for your advice it really has helped.”

my current boyfriend had the same problem when we got together two years ago it meant we couldn't do anything sexual at first, he was referred to the hospital and given a cream to rub in daily to losen the skin but typical man he nevered used it. the skin has losened now after a few months of sexual activity and he isnt bothered by it anymore. its a good idea to talk to your parents if you can as it was only when he needed to go to the hospital and had to tell his mum that he found out his dad had the same problem”

would girls be bothered by tight foreskin, and turn you down in bed?”

I had the same problem unfortunatly I retracted the skin too hard and I pulled it too far causing my foreskin to rip the scene was horrfic as blood was everywhere so if I was you id recommend you see your GP for advice on what to do.”

If you don't get it sorted soon you may end up splitting it like my boyfriend did and then going in for an op! Go to your GP, it's very common and if they.ve seen one penis, they've seen them all! ;-) Good luck.”

This is probably because you have a tight foreskin or a tight frenulum. It's a very common thing and is easily treatable.
Go and talk to your doctor about it, or drop in to your local sexual health clinic.”
Posted by Pete on 15th Oct at 1:55AM (flag as inappropriate)
I had the same thing. You should go and see your GP. Its nothing too bad to worry about. I went to the GP and they gave my cream whih helped stretch the foreskinn. The very worse that can happen is that you would need to get circumcised.”
Posted by Rob on 15th Oct at 1:38AM (flag as inappropriate)
It shouldn't retract by itself, you should pull it back. Depending on your age, its because the foreskin isn't loose enough this might hurt at first. If you haven't full exposed the head of your penis, you should graducally retract over a course of a month until you reveal the head of your penis. There shouldn't be a lot of pain but this will go in time.”
Posted by M on 15th Oct at 12:26AM (flag as inappropriate)
you have somthing called phimosis which there are many differnt types of i would recommend doing some reasearch on this. This is a small band preventing the retraction however you can try stretching the band which the body does naturally by pulling it back gradually,this is best done with an erection, the more you do it the better”

I Have The Same Problem - Why?”
Posted by Sean on 14th Oct at 10:13PM (flag as inappropriate)
Your foreskin may be too tight. This is quite common and can be corrected with a small operation. It's also possible that there is a problem with an enlarged head of the penis caused by infection etc. See your doctor.”

This happened to me the first time someone got in my bed. I'd had erections before- but this really did it for me. It was actually excruciating at first. It ruined the event and she wasn't particularly sympathetic about it. I was afraid I might need surgery - but after a short while it just loosened up on its own and I've only had compliments about it ever since.”

Hi
I had a boyfriend who suffered from a similar affliction. There are several things that can cause that (as i understand) but i cannot tell you all or even most of them - I am not a medical professional. But i do know that none of them are particulaly serious - IF TREATED.
Foolishly, my boyfriend hid this from me putting himself at risk every time we had sex. ( i dont want to scare you but if you have sex and your foreskin does not retract properly, it can tear. I imagine that is not fun)
Eventually he was referred for a medical circumcision, and afterwards never suffered any pain at all.
my advice in the first instance is SEE A DOCTOR. It does not have to be your own gp, it can be any doctor you feel you can talk to. But it is vitally important. If you are having sex you can be putting yourself at serious risk of harm, and think how unfair it is for your partner?! Imagine how he/she would feel if, like me, they find out after x number of months of sex that every time you had sex you were putting yourself at risk?
and even if you ar not having sex right now, do you really want to be in pain every time you give yourself a friendly? or even just see one of those calendars in your local garage?
The operation is very simple, an out-patient operation, recovery is usually complete within a month.
Surely a little embarrassment (if you are embarrassed) and an anasthetic is small price to pay to enjoy sex/masturbation/er ections how they should be enjoyed?
please see a medical professional, and i hope everything works out for you!”

I have the same problem, it can retract when flaccid, but not when erect - I would also like to know why.”

You may have something or experience a condition known as Phimosis. I struggled with this for years which resulted in a build up of Smegma ( as i couldn't pull the foreskin back to clean the penis) which was very embarrassing when it came to receiving Oral for one thing.
It also meant i had to be very careful when having sex because if the foreskin retracted fully during sex, i would have to stop immediately due to the pain and then try and get the skin back over the head as quickly as possible (this took up to 2 hours) before it got stuck there and require an emergency circumcision. I would reccommend visiting your GP so they can assess whether your condition is this extreme. I eventually got a circumcision at the age of 23 after visiting my GP about it and i'm so glad i did. I had hummed and hawed about it for years and was really scared about the thought of getting surgery on my penis but my mtoviation in the end was meeting the woman of my dreams and wanting to be comfortable during sex, for both of our sakes. It really hurt for about 4 weeks afterwards but the long term benefits really are worth it. Go see your GP matey!!!”

It sounds like you have a Phimotic Ring in your foreskin - basically this is a hard piece of skin tissue that you will have developed as an infant, that being hard makes it difficult to maneuver.
If you are keen to retract your foreskin all the way for intercourse reasons - it is possibly to SAFELY stretch this skin area - although you definitely should seek advice from your Doctor, as they may be able to prescribe you with creams to help this.
Although many men just live their life with their ring, myself included!
As a huge extreme, circumcision can obviously resolve this, but I certainly wouldn't even recommend going down those lines!”

i had the same problem, its at a young age , deffinately over 10, but i went to my doctor and he told me what to do so its best going to your doctor. But what i did is stretches, pulling my foreskin back how far i could until it hurt 3 times a day , remember not at the point of where it hurts, just before that, stretch the foreskin back and hold for 10 elephants seconds he said 3 times a day. After a week or 2 it worked. After that you dont need to keep on doing it, he said it is because you are young and something to do with ballooning, but anyway he said get used to the foreskin being streched and it will be fine after.
Hope this helps”

me too its hurts when im puliing it back when its erect”
Posted by lucas on 14th Oct at 8:29PM (flag as inappropriate)
I spent several years with this problem and did nothing despite the pain. My girlfriend, now my wife, booked me in at the doctors and they sent me to the hospital. After a formal circumcision I realised that I'd been stupid not to get help earlier.”
Posted by Mike on 14th Oct at 8:19PM (flag as inappropriate)
i had this problem mate this is painful at first pull it back under the shower that helped me and just when it's flacid just pull back and pu it over again do this a couple of times it worked well for me”
Posted by Conor on 14th Oct at 8:12PM (flag as inappropriate)
i had this when i was about the same age, i had previously seen the dr about this, he informed me to have a warm bath and gently pull the foreskin back to help stretch it. i did this and it worked, i will say that it does take time so dont try and pull it all the way the first time!! do it a little bit at a time. also i didn't just pull the foreskin back but also pulled it away from the body to help stretch it. hope this helps and good luck! p.s im now 27 and had no further problems”

I actually experienced something I've never heard anyone else speak of. When I was a young teenager I had a similar thing happen, it seemed almost that my foreskin in a way was fused to my penis. Of course if wasn't but because I'd never used it in such a way in 15 years of growing up it took some time for the skin to retract fully. To begin with this retraction was a little painful as the skin was actually 'stuck' don't pull it and don't force it but in time your body will sort itself out and relax as you get more and more erections or begin to have sex. If it continues to be painful and doesn't improve please go and see a doctor and don't be embarressed by this.”

See your GP. They can treat it, in most cases it's stretching exercises or steroid cream I think. I'm not an expert but try KY Jelly or other lubricant.”
Posted by Adam on 14th Oct at 8:05PM (flag as inappropriate)
i know many people who had the same problem,
the key is to make sure you keep trying. it may hurt and be uncomfortable. its a slow process but aslong as you keep trying it will go back, espeicially during sex”
Posted by Jason on 14th Oct at 7:59PM (flag as inappropriate)
I kind of have the same problem as you, i have to physically pull it back but i wouldn't say it hurts. it comes back on its own some of the way but the rest is all me.”
Posted by Louis on 14th Oct at 7:58PM (flag as inappropriate)
this happened to me aswell, but what happened was i went to my gp and asked for help! they suggested i have a bath at least twice a week and in the bath (when the water is still relitivly hot) pull it back then!”
Posted by [No first name supplied] on 14th Oct at 7:58PM (flag as inappropriate)
when i have an erection, my foreskin doesn't get pulled back, and if i try to pull it back, it hurts, why?”
Posted by sean on 14th Oct at 7:56PM (flag as inappropriate)
Tight foreskins are quite common but it is important to be able to pull the foreskin back to keep your penis clean. As a last option a doctor will carry out a circumcision, but in many cases you can gently stretch the foreskin yourself.
Don't be frightened to see a doctor if pulling the foreskin back hurts too much.”
Posted by Alex on 14th Oct at 7:55PM (flag as inappropriate)
slowly pull the foreskin back when you penis is flaccid until you feel it is a little uncomfortable. then bring it back to normal. it may help doing this in the shower whilst cleaning, as the water will act as a lubricant. Also during masturbation try and pull it back when the natural lubricant is are a plenty. Try not to hurt yourself though!”
Posted by george on 14th Oct at 7:54PM (flag as inappropriate)
The reason the foreskin doesn't retract is due to the skin being too tight. You need to sit in a warm bath and coax the skin back - don't leave it too long like an ex-partner of mine who ended up having a circucision at the age of 17 (he was too embarrassed to speak to his parents and his doctor). We spent years looking a foreskin restoration, which is a very slow process but is possible!!! So, each time you're in the bath try stretching the skin a little - you are more relaxed and should hopefully hurt less. If this does not stop it hurting when you pull the foreskin back I would go and see your doctor and visit the GUM clinic as they are trained in all matters genital!”

Sorry, squire, but your best option is to go to see your GP. I gather this is a relatively common problem, which can be solved by a straightforward operation. Best of luck.”
Posted by Dave on 14th Oct at 7:50PM (flag as inappropriate)
Having not seen it I can't tell you but it sounds like it may be too tight. This is by no means an unusal problem and I have seen it before.
It would be best to see your GP, don't be embaressed they have seen them before! Or to a GU walk in clinic who deal daily with such things. If it is too tight then it is easy to fix and if it is not then they will find out why it is painful”
Posted by Louise on 14th Oct at 7:35PM (flag as inappropriate)
my boyfriend has the same 'problem' but its not really a problem- he says it often feels better for sexual pleasure and i think it looks better :) if it hurts when you pull it back the foreskin probably just isnt very stretchy but this isnt a problem either.”
Posted by Emma on 14th Oct at 7:11PM (flag as inappropriate)
mine was like tht but after masterbation (when i was single) and been sexually active it soon pulls back so dont worry its pritty normal”
Posted by Danny on 14th Oct at 7:10PM (flag as inappropriate)
u might be young...wats ur age?
if u r below 15 w8 for sometime...and if still there is a problem u can always get a circumcision done...cirumcision means surgically remving some or all parts of your foreskin...u will be able to sexually function in a week after circumcision”
