Hi, im new here and for ever since I can
remember i've had a tight foreskin. I
didnt think anything of it when I was
young, and at the age of 14 I heard that
if you have had a tight foreskin since as
far back as you can remember, its usually
primary phomosis and has a great chance of
gentle retraction over time.
Unfortunately, it didnt retract easily and
through great frustration I tried forceful
retraction of the foreskin - this only
lead to small rips, sometimes
unintentional as it happened quite easily
and I started to form small whitish bumps
around the opening which I presummed to be
scars. This worried me intensely and have
never really disappeared even until this
day (im now 19), but I notice if I
practice great levels of hygiene, these
can slowly decrease in visual appearance -
does this mean it could be something to do
with hygiene, gradual healing? Or do
these never go away?
I heard of some treatments such as partial
circumcision which loosens the opening
enough if you have primary phomosis but I
am worried about the current health around
the opening and the outcome that may
follow.
I have a girlfriend right now (my first,
to be exact. I've never engaged in any
form of sexual activity because of this),
and her getting closer to me only makes me
more anxious. I read up that I could
damage the erectile tissue with the
retraction I have performed in the past
but these scars go no further than 1 cm
down from the opening (could these be
removed with partial circumsion? I dont
want to lose too much foreskin however).
I really dont want to be disfigured in
this area, and am worried after the
operation how my girlfriend would react.
Could someone please reply to this? I
would like to go to the doctor, but would
really like someone to give me some
feedback first as what to do. Any
reassurance especially!! Would be a great
help.
Thanks loads, rich.

I had a tight foreskin also, and I could
just about m anage to retract it but it
was equally painful in bringing the
foreskin back to normal. It wasnt
paraphimosis though.
I had had sex but it was not comfortable,
and had bj's also. My skin ripped once
when my gf was giving me a hj, and I
started bleeding.
3 yrs ago (i am 32) I decided to do a
circumcision after talking with a doctor
and a urologist. I am so much happier now
although I have not had a proper gf since
having it done but I have had bj's and
intercourse. Believe me, I enjoy it now.
I dont worry about holding my penis in a
certain way when i'm getting a bj, I can
let her 'handle' me without worry.
