Foreskin Questions
Posted: 10-22-06 00:32am

Hey I was worried about my foreskin. It opens only 1 cm - just enough to show the urinal opening. I lifted it and saw that it was connected to the bottom of the head of my penis. Should I just gradually stretch it open, like ive been hearing? Will the attachment on the head come off? Any responses that will help will be greatly appreciated...

No it's supposed to be attached to the head.
Just gently try sliding it back each day - try adding some lube first or some vitamin e cream.

The foreskin should retract and fully expose the head - do not force it.
Many guys seem to have a foreskin that is too tight.
Your doctor will have seen this many many times and it would be a good idea to get him to take a look.

You just need to be extra conscious about cleaning it properly as bacteria and stuff can collect under there.

My fella has a tight foreskin but has never caused problems, he keeps it clean and it has never been a problem during sex either.

As for my case in the past, I couldnt even retract my forskin back when I was flaccid or errect. I tried many times but it would hurt. I eventually saw a doctor regarding this and he told me that my penis was really dirty from all the times I was not able to wash my penis head because I couldnt retract my foreskin. My penis back then always smelled like old cheese 2. I end up getting circumcised which I always wanted to get done anyways. It finally happened. I was 15 years old at the time. Now im 25 years old and in my opinon I dont miss anything about being uncircumcised.

Im working on my stretching and couple days ago I was able to get my pinky inside the foreskin and feel around a bit. I did get a little bit of white stuff ive been hearing is called smegma. Anyway, I hope to get my index finger in next. Am I doing the right thing? Btw, the opening in the foreskin is a little more than a cm now.

Sounds about right, I guess! Yeah lots of guys have this trouble. Have you tried what kia said and used lube or vitamin e cream? Give it a go. I've heard that there is some kind of special cream the doc can prescribe to you to help with this stretching, so it'd do no harm to see him if you are concerned.

Oh, and the bit at the bottom that connects it is your frenulum, don't try to snap it whatever you do!!!!! It's meant to be there Smile

good luck with that
