You all remember being told as a kid to pull back your foreskin and wash the head of penis to remove Smegma that accumulates(white substance). Well i remember being told to do this as a kid but my parents never told me why it was necessary and important. I did it as a kid, but i dont think i did it through my teen years (blame it on my parents for not reminding me). I have started doing it regularly again recently like a year or so ago, and about 2-3 yrs ago i started wondering what the difference is between my dick and those of pornstarts here in the US. So my problem is that my foreskin has become pretty tight and my foreskin cannot be retracted fully to expose the entire head. It retracts about 1/3 of the way, that too when i'm in the shower. Although i have not seen any smegma accumulation since i was probably 11 or 12, it is still bothering me. This is because the head of my penis is extremely and i mean extremely sensitive. It is so sensitive that i cant even touch it with my finger. So to clean it, i have to drip soap on to it while foreskin is retracted and then wash it off. THIS SCARES ME BECAUSE ORAL SEX IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ME AND MY SEXLIFE. I'm scared that her tounge might hurt me.
Ok, so i did some research and i have phimosis(partial since i can retract it somewhat)

ok so i went to my general physician and when he looked at it, he recommended i get a circumcision. I told him i'd like to try other methods and he gave me a referal to a urologist. So i went to the urologist today and somehow he managed to retract my foreskin completely exposing the head(although it was quite painful) and said that i didnt have much of a problem. All i needed to do was to retract it full daily and get back to him in 6 months... easy for him to say, because its really painful and not east to retract foreskin for me. He said that if it wouldnt work out for me, then we'd have to think about dorsal slit(which had many complications according to him) or circumcision. I asked him about the topical steroidal cream that loosens foreskin, he said nothing about it. So i'm goin to get a second opinion from another urologist on the 1st of feb, maybe get a prescription for this steroidal cream. I saw this device that can be ordered online, it is to help loosen the foreskin.(glansie.com) it looks kinda scary to me, i'm thinking of gettin one, but its made of steel and if it touches the glans it will hurt me like hell Sad((

Today while bathing is was able to retract it quite easily without much effort or pain. However just when i thot i had done good, my foreskin for stuck behind the head, it wasnt coming back(i think my opening is too small).....i got f@#$^&* scared cos this would lead to Paraphimosis, i tried pulling the skin back up(slightly painful) and it wouldnt move. MY heartrate went from 72-80 bpm to like 120+ in just a few seconds. I thot i'd have to call emergence(911) and this wud be the most embarrasing emergency ever. Then i remembered reading something about paraphimosis and according to that i had to gently press the head so that the blood goes out of it, reducing its size and the skin would then come back to normal and IT WORKED!!! phew.... i dunno how i'm gonna clean myself everyday if this happens again Sad

i spoke to the urologist on the phone and he said that the foreskin gettin stuck behind the head is unavoidable and i must keep doing it. Crying or Very sad I wish he wud jus give me the steroid cream....when i asked him about it, he says he doesnt beleive in it....

Also is there a way to put up pics on this page, so i can show you guys what i'm talking about.....my opening is very tiny as well. I'd say its about 3-4 mm only :/

picture1(flaccid) - notice how the opening of the foreskin is misaligned with the opening on the head.
picture2(flaccid) - i can retract my foreskin a little more than that now. and about halfway to the head when i'm taking a shower.
picture3(semi-erect) notice how the skin tightens when its semi erect and when i try to retract it, it doesnt move much at all.
picture4(flaccid) - see how small the opening is....i think its like 3-4 mm.
picture5(flaccid) - same as above, diff angle.

hi,

i am 18 years old and I experienced the same thing you are going to. I never thought anything about it when i couldnt retrat the foreskin over the head of my penis, i thought it was normal. But then around the age of 16 i started getting into porn, and also realized that in comparison to the male pornstars my penis looked funny. i did some research online and discovered that i also had phimosis. I even when my penis was flacid i could not expose the head fully. also i experienced the same pain you are talking about with the head being so sensitve.

i never went to a doctor or urologist but i got some advice from other ppl who had the same thing. what i did was i pull the foreskin (while the penis is flacid) and gently stretched it. at first the hole was really small so i used a q-tip then after about stretching it for 5-10 minutes for 7 days i noticed that the hole was bigger. then i started pulling the foreskin back and eventually got it halfway over the flacif penis head. while i was halfway over the falcid penis head i aroused my penis so i would get an errection with stretched the foreskin more, the first time it hurt a lot and i thought the skin would rip but over time it got less and less painful.

the first time i got te foreskin to retract fully when i had an erection i also thought i had got it stuck and couldnt get it back over. but after doing it you get used to it and it becomes natural. as for the sensitivity it took me several months before the head of my penis became less sensitive to touch.

good luck tho!
