Question About My Penis

[Davestovies]

So this is a bit of embarrassing question but I'm currently 16 (17 in July) and I have a question about my penis.

I'm 16 and uncut and basically I found out that my foreskin was tight and that having a tight foreskin is meant to be bad for when you have sex. I done some research and found out I need to stretch my foreskin but I'm worried I might hurt my dick if I pull back my foreskin too far and I don't want to damage my dick. I'm also embarrassed to see a doctor about this (I heard that is sometimes the best option) because of my age so I'm not sure what to do to sort this problem.

Anyone know what I should do to loosen my foreskin?

You can try stretching it a day at a time I did it when I bathe in hot water and I pull the foreskin back when hard as far as it could have gone. Now I can it pull back most of the way when hard.

I have two friends that complain bout the
same thing and they ask me what they can
do and I tell them IDK. They say Y not- cause
my parents r doctors and it seems like I should
know. Well I'm cut and I'm glad I don't have these
problems and really IDK. Many guys here who r cut
and claim they wish they were not but I'm sure u have
more problems than guys who r cut. I'm not putting u
down. I cant say what is right or what is wrong but the
best thing is that if u do have problems with ur foreskin
then c a Doctor.

When you take your shower or bath gently stretch it, both pulling it down and up over the head. keep doing that and it may loosen up for you.

i had an ex with extremely tight foreskin. he could never expose his head. It was kinda gross because it smelled bad from not being able to clean properly. I dont know what ever happened with it after we broke up. Im sure he will need surgery to fix it.

I've read loads of posts and comments from uncut guys whose foreskins were causing them problems, like so tight it was impossible to pull back, or was still attached to their penis head, etc.
I have NEVER read a post from a cut guy who had any problems at all with his penis. I'm cut, and it's easy to wash and take care of, and I can't imagine the pleasure being any better than it is already from my dick. So, I guess I'm happy I'm cut.

You can try stretching your foreskin, but at your age you might not get very far because your foreskin should have come loose by itself by now.

My opinion is that you should see a doctor because there really is not other options especially with your foreskin being that tight and not moving at all. If you are going to have sex soon you really have to get a handle on this because you do not want to be like the one guy above who had a partner whose foreskin was stuck and could not properly clean around his dick head. You do not want a potential partner to be grossed out by you because of a stuck foreskin. Seeing a doctor is so not a big deal, and chances are the doctor can give you a prescription ointment to loosen up your foreskin. Doctors see this sort of thing all of the time, and you are not alone with this problem. Just get help, and you should be fine in a couple of months. It is not like you automatically have to get cut because in most cases doctors try to use non-surgical methods firstly.

That particular malady is called phimosis, I think. It's fairly common. I wouldn't be ashamed of yourself and getting help from a doctor. Your penis is just another body part. You'd get help if you were experiencing chest pain or vision loss. If you really want to continue on your own, just stretch it one day at a time, after a hot bath or shower. Still, I'd recommend seeing a doc, he probably won't even blink when you tell him about your problem. Probably seen it before and treated it.

(See? Name even one "common problem", or even any problem, that a circumcised penis can have that would cause its owner distress or pain, or that he might need to go see a doctor for. I don't think there's anything. Again, all things said, I'm glad I was circumcised when I was a baby. [Maybe it hurt like heck at the time, but we don't remember it!])

To those who have essentially replied "You wouln't have this problem if you were circumcised at birth" you are hardly being helpful.

Despite being described as "common" in the thread above the incidence of phimosis is 0.6% of boys affected by their 15th birthday. One may get the impression it more common than that given the number of people who post about it but , of course, that subjective impression comes from the fact that the majority of uncircumcised boys who don't have a problem don't post about their lack of a problem why would they?

So to suggest that circumcising 100% of boys because 0.4% of them would have a problem doesn't make any kind of sense. For each boy who benefits from that treatment there would be 249 boys who receive the treament but no benefit.

To return to the original question the NHS suggests treatment is not necessary unless it causes other symtoms. See the page on the NHS choices website (http://www.nhs.uk/conditions/phimosis/Pages/Introduction.aspx). I have also seen a guy in porn have sex successfully despite having phimosis and he seemed to be enjoying it rather than in pain. If you do want to be able to retract it there is stretching but if that is no working very fast it can be speeded up with topical steroid cream. A mild type of that is avialble over the counter at the pharmacy but the doctor can prescribe a stronger version. If that fails you would have to decide whether to get circumcised but you'd have time to think and discuss the details with the doctor.

a good thing to do is when you get a shower to wash it with warm water and after shower get some olive oil and rub it from the inside and try to strech it a little day by day , with small steps you will get a good forskin soon enough
