Q: Tight Foreskin But Only When Erect

My foreskin gets really hard to retract but only when erect, Its fine when soft but when it gets erect as i said it only goes say half way and i can feel the tightness so i stop.

I cannot have a op just for a little thing like that so i thought maybe i should pull it back while its soft then get it erect and see what happens?

Im so scared it'll hurt that i havent done it as of yet.

I can't masturbate properply becuase it wont go back the entire way,

During sex does the foreskin have to retract all the way or can i maybe get away with it?

any advice will be much appreciated,

That's still called phimosis.

Pulling back and then getting hard may cause a harmful condition where the blood becomes stuck in the head of the penis and can't get back out.

Your better bet is to slowly stretch it a little (not so much that it hurts) every day, until you can pull it behind the head when you are erect. It might be good for you to just practice pulling back as much as you can when it's hard (but before its painful) and hold it there.

Yes, you really should have the foreskin retract all the way for sex.
