Q: Problems Retracting the Foreskin

I am 17 and currently have a girlfriend, but I feel I cannot go deep into sexual intercourse because the foreskin on my penis will not retract when its errect, it will when it is flacid but not errect. It will retract half way but hurts to go any further and I dont want to force it. What do I do? Is cirumcision the only answer?

Nah u won't have to be circumcised, just go to the doctor. Lots of guys get this, it's really common. The doctor will prescribe you with a cream you can use that helps. Yup, just go to the doctor, he/she will sort you out. In the meantime just explain the problem to your girlfriend.

Also wearing a condom will help as it forms a protective layer and eases any friction over the head of the penis.

Also my fella has a tight foreskin and we've never had any problems. Sounds like yours isn't as tight as his either. So long as you make sure your girlfriend is fully lubed and you aren't pushing into a dry vagina, which won't be nice for either of you.

Why are people ashamed to use lube?
Lube is great and makes sex so much better for all involved.
