So i have phimosis and it feels like it’s holding my penis from growing or going all the way during an erection and i get this weird feeling when i get one. it’s about 5 inches fully erect.

is this possible??

Hi Rick, similar to what I have been through. I was left with no choice but to get a circumcision which I got done on Thursday.

CutRequired in reply to rick887

Certainly felt restrictive, never been the biggest in that department but am hoping since the “strangulation” of phimosis has been removed I may see a small gain in length

rick887 in reply to CutRequired

yes because when i tried the stretch method it was bigger during an erection. Was the circumcision painful after the surgery? i plan on getting one

I have had no pain but the swelling is currently really bad. I had severe phimosis so had little choice but to get a circumcision

Was you able to pull back when flaccid mate?

I was unable to up to the age of 17 then I was able to pull it back flaccid and erect. But then 2 years ago out of nowhere I lost the ability to do it either soft or hard, it went so small I was struggling with peeing towards the end

See I have always been able to pull back flaccid just not erect! Just always put up with it but I find it really hard to cum during sex and I’m sure it’s to do with phimosis, so I’m going to get it sorted this year just want a normal dick haha

Its a tricky one, just make sure you have weighed up everything, I literally had no choice but to get cut, its not an overly pleasant experience. I was opposite with sex, I always cum to quickly regardless of being able to retract or not

A tight foreskin dies not restrict erections or growth. Only the opening is tight. The foreskin itself is quite stretchy and flexible. Your condition is easily fixed by skin expansion techniques commonly used by doctors to treat burn victims and mastectomy patients. Properly applied tension will cause your foreskin opening to grow, allowing it to retract. Visit willywellbeing.com to get personalized help.

Hi Jim

I have the same problem as rick! I do believe the area where we have phimosis certainly isn’t stretchy and flexible. I’m looking at circumcision currently. I feel my erection is being restricted for sure! as when I pull back when flaccid and let it grow (it’s very tight when erect so I am careful with lots of lube) my erection is far bigger then when I have an erection without the skin pulled back! I feel my head grows much bigger

rick887 in reply to Turkey4xmas

exactly, there’s a certain part where the skin isn’t stretchy and flexible. And hurts if i try to stretch it out. I felt that it was restricting my erection too but didn’t think it was possible.

You are subscribing to a myth. My statement is based upon 30+ years of experience with scores of cases of phimosis. Skin grows when tension is applied because that’s what skin does. That’s how babies grow and how fat people get fat.

Sometimes there will be a phimotic ring which can’t be stretched! Which in most cases of phimosis, is the reason phimosis can only be cured by circumcision! Like I said if I pull my forskin back before getting an erection my erection is clearly bigger than if I leave it to get erect with the skin covering my glands!

In more than 30 yrs, I have not encountered such a frenar band. They all respond to tension.

in reply to jimfromcalif

Out of interest, how many penis have you handled over more than thirty years Jim?

Go to willywellbeing.com and count them.

in reply to jimfromcalif

Internet wasn’t around 30 years ago and that site won’t be anywhere near that old, so how many?

Really?I indeed am younger that eighteen and I have the same problems but not that severe.I have been really worrying that if I don't get circumcised or something the penis growth will stop.Is this possible?

jimfromcalif profile image
jimfromcalif in reply to calamityblast

The foreskin is very flexible and stretchy, meaning that it does not restrict the growth at all. It also accommodates erections. Do stretching and save your foreskin. It's laden with special nerves to enhance sexual activity.

I had phimosis and had a circumcision to fix the problem. However before I had the circumcision my penis would retract almost all the way to the base. After the circumcision was done and I finished healing all the way, it still shrinks down like it used to and I have to kind of shake it back out to normal again. Can you help me identify what my issue is?

Hi, I think it can affect it but not so much the length it's more with the glans not fully expanding. I found after my circumcision my glans would flare out more and not feel restricted.

100% think it does rick! I have phimosis but if I use lube and pull back when flaccid and get an erection (the slightest tug will push my forskin back over glands) but when it’s erect with glands out it’s far bigger (in girth) with the glands showing! Going to see a urologist in a few weeks will keep you updated

rick887 in reply to Turkey4xmas

are you planning on getting circumcised? or maybe using a prescribed cream

Turkey4xmas profile image
Turkey4xmas in reply to rick887

I got steroid cream from my doctor but I’m gonna get referred to a uroligist, but I’m not going to use it till I see a uroligist as doc was pretty clueless about how much I should apply etc and I don’t want to be smothering my penis with it lol

rick887 profile image
rick887 in reply to Turkey4xmas

oh okay. can you update me on it? I’m still deciding on what to do

Yes mate will do! Do you have trouble ejaculating during intercourse?

jimfromcalif in reply to Turkey4xmas

The only steroids effective for assisting stretching are wuite powerful and must be used with caution. There is a tiny ring at the foreskin opening which you can feel by inserting a finger tip and rolling it between the finger and your thumb. It is often on the inside a ways, depending upon how much overhang you have. The cream is to be applied only to that ring, very sparingly and rubbed in completely. Apply after stretching and recover, leaving it alone until next stretching session. Avoid getting the cream on other parts, and wash your hands after application. Uses twice per day.

Best results from stretching come from regular and frequent short sessions. Tension should be applied for five minutes, each of four times per day. Do not skip days.

Doing that religiously cannot fail to get results, because it is the nature of skin to grow under tension.

Cool, thank you! I will try that! I just struggle to keep up with that much stretching with work, exercise after work etc but I am going to try my best as would much prefer to keep my forskin

The stretching is temporary, and the foreskin becomes permanent, serving to maintain your sexual function at its best for life. I can’t predict your timeframe, but experience shows some are cured in two months. Success is keyed to eradicating yeast and preventing its re-emergance. Wash with clear water only, and avoid unprotected sex. Resistant yeast sometimes requires systemic treatment by a physician who can monitor liver function.

I encourage you to set appointments with yourself, and to dedicate allegiance to your cause. I’m here to coach you and guide you.
