I just got circumcised yesterday at 19 years old, and i never seen the head of my penis. i know what a normal head looks like, but mine is really weird and sensitive. On the tip of my penis (head) you can see my urethra. Its like it is exposed and and you can see it cuz its very noticeable. it has this beak shape. i feel like that my penis just stopped developing all the way. what is wrong i am really nervous. :-(
That sounds like a normal looking tip to me. They don't all look the same and one that has not spent it's life rubbing against everything is certainly going to look a little different than the other guys you may be comparing yourself to, who have been circed for a long time.
Your head is sensitive for the same reason. It's not made of normal skin, it's mucosal membrane. After circumcision it takes some time for it to grow layers of tougher skin that's more like the skin on your hand. Then it won't be sensitive anymore.
I'm curious. Why did you get circed?
Was there a medical reason, functional reason, or you just wanted to?

i thought i had tight skin, and so did the urologist, but i guess i had phimosis, and that beak i was mentioning ealier was another reason. the doctor wanted to take a look at it. i tryed the pulling back the forskin thing but it did not work at all. so i got cut instead. i wish i didnt cuz it hurts so much, it also sucks when i get an erection at night, and i wish i knew how to prevent them. o.O
Didn't they/he/she give you any pain pills for the after effects?
Is it just the surgery site that hurts or are you bothered by the sensitivity of your glans?
You could try covering the head with part of a condom to protect it for now but you will have to deal with that sensitivity later anyway. Another way to reduce the sensitivity is to clean it with rubbing alcohol to get rid of it's natural stickiness. If it isn't sticking to whatever it touches it will be much more comfortable. Just don't get any in the incision. That would surely hurt o.O
How far down is the incision? Is it just behind the glans or way down the shaft?
What kind of counseling did he/she give you before cutting it off?
Did the doctor want to cut your foreskin off so he could see the rest of your penis head?
It must have been a he, I can't believe a female doctor would be that insensitive.

well, the doctor gave me these really strong narcotics but now i am just using tylenol. i can wear shrts and my glans can touch the shorts it is just when my noticable exposed urethra touches anything, it hurts alot!!!!!! i was not told if i got a high and tight or low but i think i got a low cut. My clear bandage is still on, i thought iwas suppose to take it off, but i was told by a nurse it will fall off on its own. I kinda wanted the skin to be taken off in a way, because mainly of cleaning. not that i am lazy its just every time i wore cotton boxer briefs the lint would go inside. This is just day two, and it feel like it is taking for ever. i had to cancel my classes for this winter session becuase i have not slept good. i always wake up with the feeling of an erection coming. thanks for the tips i appriciate it alot. if u have any more i would apprciate it. thanks :-D
OK I think I understand better. Your foreskin wouldn't come back at all so you and the doctor were not able to see even the end of your glans except for the end of the urethra which was being squeezed out. The foreskin was so tight it was squeezing the end of the urethra sort of inside out?
Now I understand why the doctor wanted to see what was happening in there and why you were willing to get it done.
I'm sure that getting an erection is going to stretch the incision and that will hurt until it's done healing.
But they didn't ask you if you wanted high and tight or low or explain the difference?
I'm sure it will seem like the healing is taking forever. It seemed like that to me when I had my tronsils out and when I had the vasectomy. Also everyone heals at a different rate and has different reactions to surgery. A guy I worked with got a vasectomy in the morning and came back to work in the afternoon. I was in bed for a week with a scrotum that looked like a black and blue grapefruit.
Before I stretched my foreskin the tip would get stuck behind the head if I pulled it back that far while masturbating. It was not very painful but I had to put it away with the head bare and that was sort of painful. When the erection went down the foreskin would roll forward by itself. But the bare head rubbing on my shorts would also keep the erection going. I imagine you're getting some erectile help from your newly bared glans getting rubbed while you're sleeping and there's nothing I can think of that you can do about that.
When I was young, some of the other guys could masturbate by rubbing the tip of their glans with the palm of their hand. When I was going through the major masturbatory years (10 to 16) we didn't have computers and the internet so we used to actually get together in person to masturbate. I watched them do it but I never could because the tip of my urethra was too sensitive. Actually what happened when I tried to rub it with my palm, the inner edges got pulled out so they were rubbing on my palm and they hurt. When it was erect, if I put a finger on each side of the glans and pushed down like I was trying to pull a non existent foreskin back, I could spread the tip of the urethra and the sides would kind of roll out and over, making what I think is the beak you're talking about. It looked sort of like the lips of a very tiny vulva. That "beak" was all inner skin from the urethra and it would be quite painful if I rubbed it. I tried often because I wanted to be able to masturbate the way some of the other guys did. They said it was really intense when they got the orgsam.
I think your urethra will become desensitized in time. When I desensitized my glans, I used to clean it with rubbing alcohol on cotton balls. I paid extra attention to the end of the urethra by spreading it and rubbing the cotton ball back and forth over the inner sides that I was able to expose. Eventually I got the tip desensitized too, but it took longer than the glans. Now when I want a different feeling when I masturbate I can play around those tiny lips with a Q-tip to excite myself more, so they're not very sensitive anymore. Now I can do what some of the other guys used to do with the palms of their hands but it's not as intense as it would have been back then. Come to think of it, the guys who could do that probably were circumcised. Most of the guys WERE circumcised but we didn't pay much attention to that. No one thought it was unusual to be either way even though I would guess that those of us with foreskins made up only about 15% of the guys in gym class. In my masturbation club the guys who didn't have a foreskin liked to play with mine and I was always intrigued by the fact that I could rub their glans with my fingers and they didn't flinch.
I read about guys stressing because they don't look like the other guys but nobody ever made fun of me because I had a foreskin. I was a little jealous of them though because their penises always seemed larger than mine. I think the foreskin squeezes the blood out of a flacid penis making it smaller, and a bare glans fills with blood making it larger.
I hope you are having less discomfort soon. Let me know how it's going.
