keep pulling the skin back every chance you get including while urinating. take baths (not showers) and pull the skin back. this will let the skin become plaint. had a tight one too until my brother explained this to me when we were younger

I'd go see your doctor. This happened to my husband, It just kept getting tighter. He had to get circumsized. It was a quick and easy procedure and when he was all healed up and "ready to go" it was like having a new penis!

Hi,

Recently, up until a few days ago I started thinking about how i've never really pulled back my foreskin (it happened a few times by mistake thats all). I searched the internet for solutions and I came across the term phimosis and immediately believed that this was what I had. I learned about the stretching techniques but found them awkward to accomplish so I set about stretching the foreskin while I was in the shower.

2 days ago I pulled it back when flacid half way. It was a little tight but bearable. Last night I did the same in the shower and I had also read about how to desensitise the head so i gritted my teeth and put water over my head and to my surprise it wasnt that bad. I then rubbed it gently and I was ok with this I suppose.

Where I'm going with all of this is that now maybe I dont think I have phimosis at all as I only started doing this 2 days ago and I can pull it back when flacid ( havent plucked up the courage to try when erect yet) and from what i have read, guys with phimosis cant even pull it back at all at first.

When I was pulling it back i pulled it to the point just before it completely goes behind the head as I had also read about paraphimosis so I figured that maybe I was doing too much too soon so I would wait a bit and get used to this whole new process.

Today though i pulled it back completely and i was ok with this again but when I went to pull the foreskin back over the head I found it really difficult and I got nervous. It took ages. Eventually it rolled in on itself but didnt completely cover the head if you know what I mean? About 2 hours later after going to the bathroom a few times the pressure of the urine coming out fixed all of this.

How do I fix this? Is this normal for someone who has never pulled their foreskin back and is starting to do so? Will it gradually get easier over time the more I do it?

Also, i'm 25. Ive been having sex for about 6 years although Ive worn a condom each time so i never noticed the problem of having to pull back my foreskin.

Im trying to fix this problem at the moment as I cant have sex without a condom and I want to. I think it might be mostly psychological as ive never associated sex or masturbation with pulling the foreskin back so i assume its just a matter of getting used to it. ie when i put the water and touched the head I was so sure it would hurt like hell as that was what i had read but to my surprise it didnt really...only slight twinges which kind of felt quite good.

Can someone help and reassure me that i dont have phimosis? Also can anyone help with my problem of pulling the foreskin back over the head? I only tried that today but i vaguely remember that when the foreskin went back by mistake over the years I also found it hard to pull it back.

Sorry for the long post...im trying not to leave anything out. Thanks in advance for all of your help.

Same deal with me. I can pull back my foreskin if I work on it a little, but I've not done it in months because I didn't like how sensitive the head was. Also for some reason with my foreskin back, I either cannot get an erection or if I'm lucky I get one and it's hard to maintain it.

Gentle foreskin stretcher for tight foreskin
Guys - there are several device suppliers that provide tools that really work.

try the Gansie or the GFS. One is a calliper that seems to work well and the other is amedical balloon that has very good outcomes according to the many sites that rate these things.

In my case, I went for the balloon stretcher and found it worked for me. It took me a day or 2 to get the hang of it. The customer service was great. They shipped it in a plain white box and my flat mates had no idea what it was. The other tool, also had good commentary and I would have tried it had that GFS balloon not done what it did. It's been 7 months now and I am really happy. Th eskin tightened slight a few weeks back and ruused the same device and I am fine agian. Piece of mind and no surgeons knife.

If gentle foreskin stretching fails, i would have tried the little cutts in the foreskin as a last resort, the literature rates that good as well.

The other thing that works well with the GFS was the steriod cream my doctor prescibed, betamethasone cream. Not sure of the % off my head, but it is in all the web sites.

Hope this helps.
