Wondering:
The whitish ring at the tip of the foreskin is a symptom of a disease of unknown origin called balanitis xerotica obliterans (BXO). You need to see a doctor.
BXO can sometimes be treated by application of topical steroid ointment but in severe cases circumcision may be required.
The doctor will probably try to sell you a circumcision because they make lots of money doing circumcision, however it actually is YOUR choice, not theirs. You own the foreskin and it is your decision.

Tom1465:
Some guys have foreskins that have tips that are too narrow to pass back over the penis head. These foreskins may be gently stretched over a period of time to cause them to widen. When your penis is erect, gently pull your foreskin back against the head of the penis. As the head attempts to pass through the foreskin it will stretch the skin a little. Do this every day and in a few weeks or months your foreskin will widen and you will be able to retract your foreskin. Do NOT force retraction.
It works by tissue expansion. Stretching skin induces “mitosis” which is a word that means “division of cells”. New skin cells are formed and the skin expands. The increase in size is permanent. Be patient and let mitosis do its work.

I am glad that you were able to retract your foreskin when you went to the doctor. Foreskin usually becomes more retractable with increasing maturity. However, If you are still having problems with retraction when erect, you need to do some stretching.

Circumcision is NEVER necessary to treat a non-retractable foreskin. There are many better ways to treat it and stretching is one of the best.

Hi Youdontknowme:
That is a pretty good post. However, I have one correction. The figure that 90 percent of boys have retractable foreskins at age 3 is wrong. It was published in 1949 and has been disproved.
Now we know that 50 percent of boys have retractable foreskins at age 10.

Hi Scouse:
You are normal for your age. You can help to make your foreskin retractable by gently stretching.

"Couldn't it be possible for phimosis to make a penis smaller when fully errect then it should be?"
That is totally false. That lie was put out by a pro-circumcision doctor named P. C. Remondino in 1891.
"Also with all the forskin there, couldn't it be the cause of premature ejaculation?"
That also is totally false. In actuality, the foreskin protect the nerves in the corona from hyperstimulation. Hyperstimulation triggers ejaculation, so the foreskin serves to prevent premature ejaculation.

hey me again just wondering can i cut off the little peice of tissue myself if i have sterilised tools and if i do go to a doctor do they just snip it then its gobne and done no sergories or nuthing?
This is NOT a good idea. The frenulum has an artery in it that supplies blood to the head of the penis. If you cut that, then you will have a major bleeding problem.

my boyfriend is uncircumsized and my ex-boyfriend was circumsized, and i prefer uncircumsized guys as far as sex goes. learn to love your foreskin guys! it makes everything so much more fun!
Zaneeta:
There are lots of studies that show that women prefer uncircumcised guys.
It is good to have you confirm this information.

m 15 and was only properly started thinking the other day properly bout my foreskin, see thing is i was worred at first, wen i first pulled it back it hurt quite a bit and i was a little nervous bout gettin it back over the head of my penis, but i had a go and i did it once since, after reading this i think i will try gentle stretchin, and see what happens. i was thinking bout going to see my doctor about it, cause i was worried......its true though about the porn thing, nearly every pornstar doesnt have foreskin, or already has it pulled back which confuses many people cause yew wonder why your penis doesnt look like his on the film......but after readin this i must admit its really helped boost confidence.....im still a virgin miself, but i hope to change that soon!!
Hi 103291:
You are correct. A lot of porn is made in West Hollywood, California. Most older American males are circumcised so most of the actors in the porn videos are circumcised. One should not expect an intact, uncircumcised penis to look like their penises, which are missing an important part.

What age do you recommend trying this?
Also - should I try in a warm bath or shower unerect first off?
One can start stretching one's foreskin at any age, but you need to be erect for it to work.

Hi Im 15 and well i cant retract my penis when im erect. I can retract the foreskin when my penis is flaccid but thats it (though the feeling will keep me from doin that for a while). Whenever i do erect i try to retract my foreskin to reveal the erected head but just seem to lose my erection.
Please someone help me
Try pulling your foreskin gently back against the head so that it stretches just a little when you are masturbating.

Quick question, is it at all advisable to keep the foreskin retracted (I presume the sensitivity goes down after a while of being exposed) if the foreskin doesn't retract when erect?
That probably is NOT a good idea, because you might get paraphimosis if you get an erection while your foreskin is retracted. It is better to start a stretching routine.

Hi, im 15 years old, and i have a fairly long foreskin, and im scared that it will hurt very bad if i pull it back. im pretty sure i can pull it back, but im just scared. do i have to pull it back eventually in my life?
No, it is possible to live your whole life without retracting your foreskin.

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

Circumcision is NOT a good idea for lots of reasons. In your case, you would probably still be healing a month from now and could not have sex. You CAN have sex with a non-retractable foreskin and that is probably your best bet in the short-term. In the longer term, it would be a good idea to start stretching your foreskin.
Just make sure you have some good lubrication when you insert.
