Q: Cannot maintain erection when foreskin is retracted

I am 17 and have only recently retracted my foreskin fully. I was scared to before because it felt so tight I thought I wouldn't be able to get it back over the head. I am now confident with retracting whilst it is not erected however, whilst it is retracted and I gain an erection the pain from the stretching of the foreskin causes my penis to lose its erection. Also if it is not retracted and I have an erection I cannot then retract my foreskin because it squeezes the head and causes it to swell slightly, is this due to my foreskin not being able to stretch over the head? I can gain an erection and have sex for a very long time when it is not retracted. I am slightly worried if my foreskin will retract whilst I am having sex as this will cause me pain and embarrassment. Is this simply a matter of getting the foreskin to stretch over the head of the penis whilst it is erected? If so please explain how this can be done. Thanks

Sounds like you need to do some simple stretching exercises. You can google to learn how to do that. Once you get your foreskin to retract you may find the head very sensitive, this will ease up over time. It's well worth it for both you and future partners to do this. You'll find it's great just like those of us who had to stretch our foreskins too.
