As a child I had a very tight foreskin. As
I got into my teens it became impossible
to retract the foreskin and when I started
to have sex the foresking tore. It would
heal quickly but than in a few years it
began inserting itself on the glan. Now I
am over 50 and the forskin is attached to
about half the glans. Sex offers little
stimulation for me as there's very little
sensitivity. The foreskin is very think
around the tip of the glans and it has
patches of white around the rim.
This is the first time I've shared this.
Any ideas?

Hello! One of my best friends had the
exact same problem. In the end, when he
was 31, he went to his doctor and had to
be referred to hospital to have a
circumcision. It was all rather painful
at the time but now he is free of problems
and his sex life has improved greatly.
I know it's embarrassing because I hate
going to the doctor for my smear tests but
I just tell myself they've seen loads of
bits and aren't fussed by mine. Just do
it - see your doctor. You probably need a
circumcision which I know isn't what a man
wants to hear but it'll be worth it when
you're having great sex again!
Good luck!

Actually, there is alot you can do without
circumcision. On your own, you can
manually retract the foreskin just to the
point that it starts to hurt, but not so
painfull you cant handle it.. Do that
frequently, and it will start to help. If
thats not enough for you, or you want more
or faster results you GP can give you a
steroid cream that you will rub on the
foreskin and it will allow you to retract
the skin after some time of using it. I
dont know how it works, but it does work.
Both of those methods, although not
instant results like circumcision will
allow you to keep your foreskin. I would
much rather have my foreskin, and have
problems with it for some time than have
it cut off, as mine was at birth. Just go
see your doc and hopefully you can keep
it.
