Foreskin cannot retract with erection

Hi,
ok well im 17, in a relationship, last weekend my girlfriend said she wanted to have sex, in the end we didnt because a condom wasnt close. The next time we will be alone together (ie an empty house) is about a month away, so im trying to get ready for it.
Now the problem, ive been reading the previous posts and have some clue as to what i should be doing but some clarification would help. Im uncircumcised and cannot retract my foreskin, ive tried pulling it back both erect and unerect but have never had the confidence to try it all the way. This is because my foreskin is quite small and tight and that bit of tissue connecting the glans to the foreskin seems rather short and so as soon as i get pain i leave it. I feel like i should get circumcised for a quick fix solution to all of this, so i was wondering if anyone could help recommend any better solutions, because at the moment i feel like i dont have a normal penis.
Thanks

well I am 18 and i can retract my foreskin no problem both flaccid and erect! i am able to do so from stretching day by day, wank by wank, etc. . .
BUT, when i leave it retratcted for a long period of time, the ridge of foreskin behind the head starts to swell and sorta looks like there's fluid building up (almost like a blister). when i push my foreskin back, it returns to normal after a few hours or a day max! So i think there's nothin to worry bout!
I am hoping somebody can tell me how to prevent this and how i can keep my foreskin back without this happening?
please help

Like most of you, my penis is uncircumcised and very sensitive.

For as long as I can remember, I've never masturbated w/ my foreskin retracted because I found out early on that the head was very sensitive when I experimentally retracted it back for curiosity purposes.

My foreskin doesn't automatically retract far enough to roll back to the base of the head when erect, but I found out w/ my ex-gf that it did when we had sex. When having protected sex, I would just roll the condom on my erected penis and continue to have sex. Once u go at it, my foreskin rolled back. Same without protection.

Given this, it's definitely easier to help stretch that foreskin w/ a gf than doing it yourself because of the pain.

Here's some good advise for those afraid of the pain of stretching the foreskin: Next time you masturbate, put a condom on your erected penis and stroke it harder than you usually do so that ur foreskin can roll back or stretch further. You don't have to be afraid of any pain because the condom acts like another layer of skin (or act as a vagina).

Hi, I recently managed to stretch my foreskin behind my 'head' the problem is now it's staying there and not rolling back to cover my head again, and erections are quite painful, do I need to see the doc about this or get myself to the A&E or somet?

I have the same problem with the hardened foreskin, I can retract my foreskin back when flacid but it only goes 2/3 of the way back when erect. Ive tryed retracting the foreskin back first when flacid and then get aroused but as it gets arouses it starts to hurt and it looks like I have a rubber band on my penis. Ive been trying to masterbate and pull it back but cant seem too, it doesnt hurt much it just doesnt go back. Is there somthing I can do to soften the foreskin over the counter?

it only has taken me two days to pull my skin back to right behind my head and it hurted but i took it a step at a time and didn't give up.. that's why it took2 days ha. But yeah I still have extra skin left over behind the head and i dont know what to do from there??? HelP anyone ← o.O

Hello,

I have the same problem I have lots of foreskin and I mean lots. when I get hard I can have up to 2cm of foreskin hanging loose, I can pull this back to show the tip of my head. Having sex has never been a problem but I have the odd time hurt myself and gone soft - my girlfriend didn't mind(isn't she great).

I'm 24 now and I only found out last year that my skin should pull back over the head with ease - well I tried it an boy it hurt, I find that if I get semi hard I get move the skin back more and when very turned on but not hard I can pull the skin right back. It felt weird the first time and I thought f**k this.

I wear a condom having sex always so its doesn't hurt there, when I don't use on I need alot of oil to get in as it hurts. I'm now working on getting the skin back when errect, my biggest fear the the pain of the head when its touched - I've touched it before by mistake and boy I'll nevber forget that..

Anyway all the advise here is good and I'm making progress with baby oil and daily stretching my girlfriend is hepling too....

some of you mentioned getting a circumcision operation above. one thing i will say is that if you are considering this option you really MUST do some reading first. there are several sources of information all over the web so finding them shouldn't be a problem. i too am uncircumcised and am familiar with some of the same problems as the rest of you. i used to wish i had been circumcised at birth, thinking i wouldn't have any of these problems, but after reading more info and listening to others share their knowledge and experiences my opinion changed. yes, being uncircumcised and with a tight foreskin can be challenging, but it's the natural way of things. the last time i checked i believe statistics showed that there are more circumcised men than not in the world. so if you feel like a minority, don't. you aren't alone :-)

Yeah, I agree. I'm 14, and after about 1 week I'm now able to pull back the foreskin over the head. It just took one go and I was really suprised. I wasn't even trying to, I just pulled it back to see if I could see anything.

hey i have got the anser for u and all the people out that have this problem. what u need to do is go to plastic surgin and get it fixed up.the proplem that u have is called tethered foreskin. hope i helped alot.
good luck. :-)

thank you very much.

after reading this post i really felt light and its nice to hear that theres no probs if if its not comin back

thank on an all............

heyy, im Jake, im 13, and i need to know if the piece of skin that holds the foreskin on my penis is actually meant to be there, this has been on my mind for a while now, can anyone help ASAP!?!?

Hey guys, im 15 and as some of you i'm soon to be getting laid and have become more aware about my penis. If someone can just clear things up for me. What is the piece of skin on the underside of you penis that kind of 'V' shape connecting the foreskin to the glands. it's just that when i have an erection and i pull my foreskin back, it goes over the glands but feels tight and bends over because of this piece of skin. is it meant to be there or does it eventually snap therefore relieving the tightness?
Thanks

I've got a problem well I think I do i'm nearly 15 and the tip of my penis like is tight it's almost as if there's too much skin I know it's nothing too bad but I'm wondering is there any exercises I can do to help this . I can't see the line it's that bad , am I going to need an operation thing.please reply thAnkssssss <3

Here is my experience...

I am 30 years old. My whole life my foreskin has never retracted over my penis head/glands AT ALL (even when fully erect). I have about a quarter inch of tight foreskin at the tip of my penis and I can't really stretch it at all (I've tried a few times and have given up easily because it just doesn't seem to stretch at all).

This has definitely been an issue that has caused me to be self conscious about my penis pretty much my whole life and I always thought that my penis was very different than everyone else and that it was awkward looking.

Well over the years here are the facts that I have found to be true for myself personally:

(1) I've never felt any pain whatsoever with this tight foreskin issue. The foreskin covering my shaft and the penis head stretch out and glide smoothly over my penis when it gets fully erect (everything except the tight quarter inch band of foreskin at the tip that holds my foreskin in place over my entire penis). To be honest, having my foreskin completely cover my penis makes masturbation very easy (no need for any lube, like I understand circumcised men need) and the skin sliding over the penis feels great during masturbation. I have considered getting circumcised but I honestly worry that this will make masturbation less pleasurable (and less easy) which would REALLY suck, as I enjoy it now as is. This is a big positive for leaving it the way it is, in my opinion.

(2) What is a girl going to think when she sees my "not normal looking" penis? I have always been self conscious about this part. To my surprise I have never had a girl complain or shy away from my penis, or laugh, or not have sex with me as a result (and I have been with some very attractive women that I know can get any guy they want). They usually don't even say anything at all. I've had long term girlfriends that never seemed to have a problem with it at all (though I have never talked about it specifically with a girl and they have never brought it up). The last girl I had sex with (22 year old hot College girl) actually told me she really likes my penis (that was a big confidence booster) and we had great sex for like two weeks straight. These are also not one time sex encounters. These girls come back for more so it seems they don't really have an issue with my foreskin at all. They also don't have an issue performing oral sex on me either.

(3) As for Sex... it doesn't hurt for me at all. It feels great. I sometimes wonder if it actually feels better with my foreskin covering my entire penis than if it retracted or I was circumcised. Because the foreskin smoothly slips back and forth over the penis as you have sex (and yes I definitely feel her vagina). The only time I have had it hurt is if I try to push it into her too quickly. Working it back and forth slowly for a few seconds first, or using a little bit of lube makes it slip in easily and once its in I have no problems at all.

(4) Condoms... Having my foreskin the way it is does seen to make putting a condom on more difficult. But I can do it and have had sex with condoms many times. They just tend to bunch up a bit during sex but it still works. As a result I hate wearing condoms but every circumcised guy I know also hates wearing condoms so maybe its the same thing really.

All that being said, I still sometimes consider seeing a doctor about possibly just having the tight part at the tip, making it always cover my entire penis, removed (just to make it look more "normal". However, this makes me nervous because I've tried to stretch my foreskin back over the penis head and I've only been able to see a very small bit of the tip of the glands. When I tried to touch this small bit of the glands that showed it was really sensitive to touch and, quite frankly, hurt to touch. This makes me nervous and makes me think its better for me to keep it under my foreskin as is. Since its been under my foreskin my entire life it would probably be really sensitive/painful out in the open and I don't want to lose sensitivity trying to desensitize it.

Basically my advise to you younger guys is this... if your non-retractable foreskin doesn't cause you any pain at all then leave it as is and just have confidence in yourself. Also know that you are not alone, and despite the typical penis's you will see in the porno industry, this type of thing is more common in men than you think. All men have different penis's and all women have different vagina's. Its just a little extra skin really. Have confidence in your relationships with your women and I think you will find 95% of women that see your penis will not have a problem with it. If you find yourself a good girl that doesn't have a problem with it (which I think will be most girls) then I think you will be happy in the end that you left yourself as is.
