Foreskin cannot retract with erection

Jake:

That little piece of skin is called the frenulum. It is supposed to be there.

Hi Tye30:

Thank you for posting some common sense.

BTW, only about 1/4 of the men on earth are circumcised, so it is you who have the normal looking penis.

Hi Steadyhealthuser:

It is not uncommon for young adult to have a foreskin that is painful to pull back when erect. You need to do some more stretching on it.


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.

If you have a small hole at the tip of your foreskin, you can pee faster than it can come out of the hole in the foreskin so the urine accumulates in the foreskin and causes it to bulge out. This is called ballooning. It is harmless. It sound as though this is a good time for you to start stretching.

Thanks for your report. It is good to have some good information posted.

You are normal for your age. This is a good time to start stretching.

Hi I'm 42 and my foreskin has never gone back all the way when erect. I have tried some if the methods described here and all it does is cause me pain. Then I realised why was I bothering. I've not had any complaints been married for nearly 16 years and created 2 wonderful children. I really wouldn't worry about it.

Hi Juan:

You are blessed with an erogenous, highly-innervated foreskin. Many unforeskinned guys would envy your foreskin. You display great wisdom in wanting to avoid circumcision. Do not be worried. You are normal for your age.

It is not absolutely necessary to have a foreskin that will retract. Some men live their entire lives with a non-retractable foreskin. They can masturbate, have penetrative sex, get married, and father children with a foreskin that does not retract. Some believe that a penis with a non-retractile foreskin has more sensation and that sex is better. However there is no scientific evidence one-way or the other.

It depends on just how tight your foreskin is. If it is really narrow and absolutely won't retract, then you can have penetrative sex without pain. On the other hand, if it just a little bit tight, then it is likely to be forced back during sex and that will hurt because it is tight.

Almost all boys are born with a foreskin that does not retract. This is normal. It takes years for the ability to retract to develop. About ½ of boys have a retractable foreskin by 10.4 years of age. Many adolescents still 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.

It is normal for teens to have a foreskin that does not retract. One’s foreskin is still developing. One can help it develop by stretching it.

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. Do NOT cause yourself pain.

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 but it takes some time. The increase in size is permanent. Be patient and give mitosis time to work.

The important thing is to put the skin under tension every day so that it will grow wider. Search the Internet for “How to Fix Phimosis and Tight Foreskins, Solutions That Work” and you will find the help you need.

Hello I'm the same age and my foreskin retracts over the glans fully and my bottom tenses up. However my penis when foreskin is retracted is a bit smelly. I've tried washing it but it just won't go away and it is really smelly. What should I do? It stinks and therefore makes it awkward to wash etc.

Since your foreskin retracts, just retract it in the shower and let the water run over it.

Do you know why my Bottom tenses up when foreskin retracts as it is a bit of an awkward and uncomfortable problem

Also when foreskin retracts it feels very sore and is very difficult and painful to push forward. I wouldn't like to consider circumcision but the foreskin feels like it's burning what can I do?
