Tight Foreskin

[Pyro99]

Hey buddies :D So, I have kind of a problem. When my penis is soft I can pull my foreskin back very easily, but when I have an erection, I can only pull it back halfway, and then it get much tighter, even though I can still pull it back, it's much more difficult. So, my question is, do any of you know how I could make it looser? Any method that's healthy, help will be very much appreciated:D

[Giles]

This is an incredibly common problem for uncircumcised guys. There's a condition known as Phimosis (There is an image of a penis on this web page) that's basically just when a guy can't retract his foreskin past the glans (the head) on his penis. You said that you can retract it normally when soft and you can do it to some extent when erect, if you can get it past the glans when erect then you probably don't have phimosis and this makes it a lot easier to solve the issue yourself.

I had this problem myself early last year and, while it's still not completely solved, it's a lot better than it was then. So what I did was every day I'd stretch my foreskin slightly in the shower and then again before I went to bed. This is a little difficult to explain, pm me if you need more info, but basically you want to get two fingers inside your foreskin and apply a little pressure outwards so that either side of your foreskin is pulling away from the other. Do it to the extent that it begins to hurt slightly and hold it there for several minutes, then do the same later that day. If you do this for long enough then you might find that you can fit three and eventually four fingers inside your foreskin and after a while it should loosen significantly. If you can then you should also try masturbating with your foreskin retracted - just be careful that it doesn't get stuck.

when i was uncut thats my problem HAHAHA

[Rain Boy]

I had that problem. I suggest pulling the skin back as far as it will go and holding it there for 5-10 mins. Somehow this method of holding it open worked for me over a few weeks. You just need to get some privacy and make sure no one walks in on you.

The foreskin isn't actually made to go down past your head, it has no need to. Although you can continuously try to stretch the foreskin, because just like any other peice of skin... It stretches.

Really? I thought it did. My cousin was circumcised when he was 14 because it couldn't go back. Umm, anyway, to answer the op, just try stretching it slowly when you are in a hot bath or shower. That should help. Otherwise I think your doctor can give you a cream that helps.

youre cousin was circumcised just because it couldn't back?

[Telkanis]

Yup, he said when he was 13 his doctor said that if he couldn't retract in a year that he should be cut and gave him some cream to help stretch it but that it didnt work.

FYI, your foresking should go all the way back off the head and lay flat along the shaft when you are erect. You have a medical condition called phimosis, and, yeah, that's a reason circumcisions are often performed, tho it often depends on the severity of the condition.
I have been to see 3 urologists, and this is what they, who are experts, said.

[The captain]

I had same problem at your age..just pull back every single day a little when hard..sometimes hurts a bit, but then you gonna have no troubles to pull back

Well, actually phimosis is where the foreskin cannot be retracted over the head of the penis. I also have been to a multitude of doctor on the issues of my foreskin being able to be retracted over my head, but no further when erect. They have all said that this is not a case of phimosis, as I can take my foreskin over the head.

This is the best answer by far! Youve actually understood that phimosis is when the foreskin can't go over the head... Unlike the others! Brilliant answer

[brandon1995]

Well, actually phimosis is where the foreskin cannot get over the glans Of the penis (head).

Phimosis is where the skin won't go back--retract

when it won't go forward is called paraphimosis.

jasperf, please consult the wikipedia. you misunderstand this totally.

I have a foreskin, Wikipedia doesnot. I have also been consulting a doctor bout the issue of my own tight foreskin. And just too make you happy, a took a look at your dear wiki, which I may add is often wrong as anyone can edit the imformation on it.'At birth, the foreskin is often still fused with the glans.[9] As childhood progresses the foreskin and the glans gradually separate, a process that may not be complete until late puberty.' So there we have it.

That's fine but I was suggesting you look up phimosis to see it refers to the inability to retract the foreskin and expose your glans or penis head.

Nowhere in this statement do I say that his foreskin is stuck backwards O_o I'm saying phimosis is where the foreskin cannot be taken back further then the gland of the penis.

I know what phimosis is, as I've stated in an earlier answer, I know that it is where the foreskin cannot be retracted over the head of the penis...
