Hello this is my first post. This is the
reason i joined.
My foreskin is still um.. not retracted
(if that is the right term?)
And i am really really worried that i may
have problems in the future or that i have
left it to late to pull it back forever.
I masterbate do not have problems with
being able to cum.
No other problems that i know of.
I can pull it back and get "hard" with it
pulled back but it feels like it could
rip
i only have masterbated with it pulled
back once.
Please give any information you can.

It can be one of two things.
Firstly, (and probably most probably) it's
a condition called Phimosis. Try googling
it and there'll be a wealth of
information. It's a condition where the
lip of the foreskin is so tight that it
cannot stretch to retract fully over the
head of the penis. Treatments for this can
be as simple as stretching techniques that
you'd have to do every day or so, or the
doctor can prescribe ointments that
stimulate the skin enough to have it grow
quicker (with the help of stretching
techniques). There are also, (I recommend
as a last resort) surgical alterations
that can be made to the foreskin to allow
it to stretch, or full out circumcision
where the foreskin is completely removed.
I'd recommend working on stretching to see
if it works, and only go surgical as a
last resort.
Secondly, it could be Frenulum Breve. It's
a condition where the frenulum (the really
sensitive part of your penis, right
underneath the head) is very tight, and
the foreskin cannot fully retract because
the frenulum prevents it. Again, as with
Phimosis, there are treatments. If it
doesn't stretch with daily stretching
exersizes, there are surgical options,
such as the frenuloplasty, which is a
procedure that lengthens the frenulum so
the foreskin can fully retract.
Again, I recommend surgical alternatives
as a last resort. They can be
uncomfortable and, in very very very rare
circumstances can not be successful.
I highly recommend seeing your doctor.
There is absolutely NO shame in talking to
him/her about this... it is something they
are trained and paid to do. The earlier
the better as well... when (if you aren't
already) you are having sex, phimosis or
frenulum breve can lead to tearing.
I hope this helps!

First thanks for that I forgot to say i am
16 and heh I do not want to speak to my
dad(only got one parent). A thing i know
is that my brother and my dad had to be
circumcisioned when they were both born.
I can pull my foreskin back fully,
although i have a big vein.
And if i went to the doctor have not be to
my doctor for ages and ages but that is
something i just wondering what i would
say?

hi i just joined and saw your post Um
Yeah im not cut either what ever
you do do not get it removed your
just fine this is going to sound
strange but when you masturbate try
to do it when your skin is pulled back
so it gets used to the stretching
eventually it will stretch enough and
stay

Zkestes is talking about one of the many
stretching techniques you can try.
And, even though your dad may not have a
foreskin, he can still help you by
connecting you with people who can offer
you advice, such as a doctor or another
source. And, if you do happen to see a
doctor, just tell them what's going on.
There is NO shame in masturbating, and
there is NO shame in knowing what is going
on with your body. The foreskin is meant
to retract.
Just make sure that you keep it clean....
if you happen to tear it and it's dirty,
infection is highly, highly probable and
can wreak havoc down there.
Best of luck.

Hmmmm. I guess you understand that I would
feel sky about talking about my penis to
my dad haha but it is aslo stupid not to.
A thing i would like to know is if your
foreskin should retract naturally and if
at like 21 or around that age is your
foreskin meant to be back also is a good
idea to try to have my foreskin back on
one night and see how it is in the
morning?
Thanks again for all the help i am still
worried but this is helping ALOT so thanks
for all of this.
