If the stretching is not working, I would go in for more medical consultation. Inform the doctor that you really don't want to be circumcised, and you want to try any other available option first.

I don't know, that's why you need to ask him. There are creams I think; I just don't know.

hey fff3. i am in almost exactly the same situation as you are and i know what u are going through. The problems called phimosis and can mean a really tight foreskin.

I finally bit the bullet about a week ago and saw an urologist. straight away they said a circumcision was the way forward. my problem goes a bit further though as the tightness has meant i always felt uncomfortable and itchy when masturbating and so have been unable to ejaculate. According to the urologist the two things can go hand in hand so i am a bit more hopeful now.

whats really getting me down though is the situation with my girlfriend who i met about a month ago. We get on so well but i just don't know what to do about this and what and when to say to her. i dont want this to end us but fear it could:(

Eerm... I am pretty confused. I'm not circumsized, but what is this foreskin retraction issue? Is this some sort of problem I'm not aware about??? Somebody explain this issue to me in detail please, thank you.

Yes, phimosis seems to be one of the most common issues with uncircumcised men. The foreskin is too tight to pull back over the head of the penis, so sex is actually painful and/or impossible.

As far as I know most uncircumsized men can retract there kin to clean under, if they cant there is a problem.

If you want to have sex, why don't you just try it. Let your girlfriend know. It doesn't have to be a big issue, just let her know that your parents chose to not have you circumsized when you were a baby. It's nothing to be ashamed of. That's how every man in this world is born, you know. Try having sex and then if it doesn't work out too well, you might have something to worry about. A close friend of mine is uncircumsized, and he just talks about it like nothing. I would not feel pressure to become circumsized if this isn't what you want. Personally, I would not want to have surgery that is unnecessary. Even if your girlfriend is on birth control (but especially if she is not) pick up a pack of condoms or have a friend do it for you if you are unable. Try putting one on before having sex to see what it feels like. Even if you are nervous, know that no matter what everyone is. People had sex long before they ever heard of circumcision. It'll be okay, I promise. If I were your girlfriend I would completely accept it, and I wouldn't look at you any differently.

If sex is painful, let her know and stop. THEN you'll know you have something to see a doctor about, but until then, relax. It could turn out to be just fine.

I've heard bad things about putting a condom on an unretracted penis.

The foreskin is supposed to retract, that is its normal behavior. If it doesn't that is unfortunately a problem. It's not incurable and circumcision isn't the only answer.

You should tell most of those guys that you know. It might help them because it is a problem if a man cant retract the skin on an uncircumsized penis.

Here are some sites that can help some of those guys with that and a couple of other things that can happen

Don't Try to Force It!
Posted: 08-06-07 00:18am

Most boys will be able to retract their foreskins by the time they are 5 years old, yet others will not be able to until the teenage years. As a boy becomes more aware of his body, he will most likely discover how to retract his own foreskin. But foreskin retraction should never be forced. Until separation occurs, do not try to pull the foreskin back — especially an infant's. Forcing the foreskin to retract before it is ready may severely harm the penis and cause pain, bleeding and tears in the skin.

What Is Smegma?

When the foreskin separates from the glans, skin cells are shed. These skin cells may look like whitish lumps, resembling pearls, under the foreskin. These are called smegma. Smegma is normal and nothing to worry about.

I I was you I would totally go to a doctor and talk about this. Don't be worried. I am sure lots of doctors see this! I would try to solve it now, if I was you. Don't worry. Just find out your options at the doctor. As for right now.

Im in a shitty position right now and i kinda have a girlfreind right now. but were both virgins......

yo, i didnt read any previous posts. but who cares, girls dont really care about that stuff. unless you have something bleeding or oozing that she may catch. Girls are usually cool about caca like that. Just dont say anything unless she does.

I'm 19 and i'm getting circumcised sometime soon...

I also have a girlfriend and we haven't had sex yet, so i'm hoping to get this problem over with before we begin to start our sex life.

I'm not looking very forward to the surgical procedure but this stretching is really not working for me.

I rather just get circumcised and come out with a clean smegma-free penis and not have to worry about my foreskin ever again.

As An Old Wise Woman I Say

since you have stated that she as well as you are both virgins ...I would think it will be her passion for you that determines what she will think at that right time and she won't be comparing you to any other guy .....I had a husband once that was not circumsized he was perfect at what he could do ....a good thing to learn is oral sex if your good at that its a done deal . be safe be happy and enjoy your life
