foreskin problem, advise needed

.

 

well when the foreskin get streched some then that will help out alot the conditions you describe i also had when i was a young man and everything was ok once foreskin get loosen up it will be fine

 

Jonadame - as someone who just turned 18, you should have experienced most of your natural foreskin stretching that you will ever have, and you probably have phimosis, due to a too tight foreskin, or a too short frenulum, the stringy thing on the underside of your penis in the "inverted v" below the glans. For the first problem, you will need circumcision, and for the latter, a frenuloplasty, a minor operation.

You should not leave your penis in its current condition. Not only will your sex life suffer, since the glans will not be exposed when you have intercourse, but the area under the foreskin can be a breeding ground for infection and STDs, including HIV.

Don't worry about circumcision, if you have to have it done (I don't know where you live, and if it is commonly done there). Over 75% of guys in the U.S. (me included) have had it done, and we like the look and feel of a cut penis better. But make sure you insist on a "loose cut".

PM me if you want more information.

 

Jonadame - If you can retract the foreskin all the way over the head, but it stings, you may be able to solve the problem with gentle stretching and use of hydrocortisone cream on your penis after you have soaked it in warm water. The purple color may be just the natural color of the glans, or if the blood is being cut off by the tight foreskin, circumcision may be necessary, as I said in my other post. Consult a doctor.

 

i've never heard of this happening before. i've been able to move my skin around ever since i can remember

 

yea same here.....always remeber being like 5 and my mom yelling at me through the bathroom door when i was showering "remember to clean under the skin!"

 

First thing i would do is give that thing a wash in some very cold water, seriously, 18 years without washing under there could be damn bad... use cold water as bacteria tends to breed in warm water and wash that thing!

 

Umm, are we talking just while flaccid? I can pull my skin all the way back no problem when flaccid and clean and everything. But i have never been able to pull the skin back while erect. I am very well endowed and i think the girth makes it this way. I have never really felt the need to be able to do this though and its never been a problem.

 

USMCGamer - you have a tight foreskin, or a short frenulum, the stringy thing in the "inverted v" on the underside of the glans (head). At your age, the foreskin should have loosened. You should have a doctor check it out, as it is not healthy or pleasurable sexually to have the foreskin covering the glans at all times when you are erect.

Remedies - stretching your foreskin gently after putting hydrocortisone cream on it, after a warm bath; frenuloplasty (for the short frenulum), or circumcision. PM me for more advice if you wish.

 

Don't generalize.

 

Circumcision is the way to go. I couldn't imagine a chick wanting to suck some flappy dick.

 

hahaha. All of the circumcised dudes are always so sure of themselves, but what they don't understand is that they are freaks everywhere outside the US and Israel.

As for the original poster, I couldn't retract my foreskin until I was about 16, and it definitely stung a bit the first time I managed it (and this is with my penis flaccid!). However, I found that it is quite possible to stretch it yourself over time. First just work on getting it nice and comfortable when flaccid, and then you can start stretching it when erect. Now I have no problems. So, I wouldn't jump into an operation just yet. Try stretching it gently but firmly yourself for a while, and see how it goes. It just might clear everything up.

 

Go to the doctor, the doctor will prescribe you cream. Also, making a point of trying to pull it back and stretch it will eventually result in your foreskin growing wider and looser. You've seen those people with the crazy earings and stretched out ear lobes right? Your foreskin will grow how you stretch it too.

 

It's so true, in America it's the guys who are against circumcision who are the nuts. The reality is it's all the men who have been circumcise, and the women who date them, who are the circumcision nuts. People will do whatever it takes to justify what's been done to them, and then do it to their kids to really solitify their beliefs.

 

I had the same problems tell i was 17 then i said fuck that shit. Sex was not fun, and when the head came out it was also not fun. Some guys have no problem with theres but some due. Honestly man, and what i did. See a good docter that specializes in that field and tell him your problems. I eventually had sugery and im glad i did. Look man if something on your dick hurts and it becomes and everyday thing, or soemthing you know should be better. Do something to fix it.

 

Definitely. outside of the US, circumcision is the (rare) exception, not the rule. if ya don't believe me, download euro porn
I'm just going off the top of my head here, but in Europe I'd say only about 10-20% of men are circumsized, and probably most of them are Jewish. The argument that it's "more hygienic" is sort of true, but then who would go for a long time without washing? That'd DEFINITELY put the ladies off...
EDIT: Oh, and for those that say women hate to suck an uncut penis... I've never had any complaints, nor has anyone I know. Nobody gets a circumcision just because their girlfriend/wife doesn't like their foreskin.

 

Quoth the Raven - you say that "outside the U.S. circumcision is the exception not the rule." Not true - the Commonweath countries (Canada, Australia, New Zealand, etc.) have had high circumcision rates over the years, and in Africa, circumcision is becoming the norm, especially after the recent studies proved that it helps prevent HIV, which is a major problem there. All Muslims are cut, in such countries as Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Iran, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Indonesia,and Malaysia. Almost 100% of Filipino men are circumcised, as are South Koreans. Some Latin American countries have substantial circumcision rates, especially in the upper classes, and it is becoming more popular in Mexico (check out the film "Y Mama Tambien").
And it is a common practice in modern Japan, as well as for Samoans, and other Pacific Islanders. Circumcision is practiced all over the world, and perhaps 25% of all males in the world (me included) are cut.

 

Aside from those who circumcise for religious or ceremonial reasons (Jews, Muslims, primitive tribesmen) about 90 percent of the world's males are unaltered.

Try and stretch the skin, for 10 mins a day. Look at some porn and pull the skin back tell its uncomfurtable. Then again and so on. I have been told that this can help if you do it daily, espically for the tightness part. Your problem sounds just like mine. And i tried that for about three months and i cant say i noticed anything. It can help some people though. Just pull the skin back when your not hard in the shower and let the water hit it.
