Prominent veins under the foreskin

I have these prominent veins in my penis, they appear when I pull my foreskin down, they get bigger when erect and much bigger after masturbation and orgasm, I never felt any pain or discomfort. It's normal ? Is there any possibility of breaking up during sex?

Hi I don't think there's anything to worry about as prominent veins are normal when your erect & will bulge more during masturabation or sex, I'm cut & the viens bulge over my entire shaft when I'm erect & excited. As long as there's no pain as you've said you'll be fine.

Jack away and enjoy yourself, I find almond oil is a great lub if you wanted to try something different which gives you a great feeling.

What bothers me is that they seem to be "unprotected". They seem to be part of my foreskin, if I do a foreskin removal surgery would they disappear?

During circumcision the viens will be terminated as the foreskin is removed but will be still retained running up the length of your shaft, so only the part of the vein in your foreskin will go. So if that's the only part of your penis you're worried about, removal may be the way to go.

Can you post a pic of a full erection & possibly one from underneath just to confirm nothing else is a cause for concern?

Thanks! :)

Just another thing if you could answer.

Frenulum stretch or steroid cream do work ?

It’s been a while since this post. Did you get circumcised? As far as the veins I think it’s natural to have them. They fill the spongy tissues with blood while you’re erect. Some guys just have more veins showing than others. I think yours are normal. If no pain then there’s nothing to worry about.

They look quite normal.

With regards to creams & stretching, the older you get the less chance of these having any effect. Can I ask how old you are & when you first noticed things were tight?

20. I always thought it was normal.

The frenulum causes my glans to "bend" downwards, but I only feel some tightness when I pull the foreskin fully back.

I think most of us have these. When erect they were proper bulging and when i got cut, the ones in the foreskin were cauterised.

All very normal.

Did you notice any difference after they were cauterized?

Nah to be honest. I was a bit worried but no need. Totally unnoticeable.

I wonder if more prominent veins would help the receiver get more pleasant sensation. Anyone know?

What about the ridge band?

Depends on what's being received...

Oral still feels goood for me when the other person swallows.

Penetrative sex feels no different and masturbation feels less good due to loss of sensitivity but, if i use my other hand its crazy.

How does the pleasure during orgasm feel. I truly believe there has to be a stronger more intense orgasm when you are uncut. Do you feel that orgasm is weaker when masterbating?

Private message me and we can have a deeper chat

I would generally say, there are differences in the uncut to cut experience

A tight frenulum will cause you problems & soreness especially during sex & it will always be an ongoing issue. I'd book an appointment with your Dr who will be able to help & possibly recommend a circ.

Normal blood circulation in your penis, very nice.

Yes, you look more prominent than normal, perhaps because your skin is somewhat thin.

entirely natural. the foreskin contains many such vessels.

Not what you're looking for?
