Foreskin can't retract completely when erect and is tight.

Hey everyone, I'm so happy I found this community! Okay so I've always found sexual activities lacked sexual pleasure for me and it suddenly dawned on me that my foreskin was blocking my pleasure. I did NOT want a circumcision lol. I only started to stretch my foreskin recently ( a few months ago ) after a while I was able to retract it completely when flaccid but none when erect. I've been working on erect recently with some results but the foreskin is much tighter (Pictures for clarification).

Should I do stretching exercises on my foreskin so it's not so tight when erect?

I was curious to know what process you guys went through to get retractable while erect?

Are there any tips and tricks to doing this?

When I'm able to fully retract when erect will it retract by it self when I start getting erect?

There is a tissue/band called frenulum on the underside of your penis, just behind the glans. It can restrict the movement of your foreskin further to the shaft. That condition called 'Frenulum breve'.

Does it look like I have this condition and is it something I can do about it?

Frenuloplasty.

Just keep stretching the tip of your foreskin, but don't use shower gel. It'll dry your skin too much.

We all are different. I kept my foreskin retracted more than 15 years. Almost translucent frenulum teared down near the glans on intercourse in my twenties. It also bent down the head when I was hard. The frenulum breve cured then. I gave my foreskin away 25 days ago. I felt like I won't needed it anymore.

You can get more movement to the ridged band (skin part on tip of your foreskin) and shaft skin, too. There is no guarantee it'll get you more pleasure on intercourse or on masturbation.

Here is an example:

Dear MOM 200,

I had been having same condition like yours, untill 3 years ago.

I got circumcised, and bingo! No tight foreskin !!

And, don't feel like you are late for a circumcision, I had mine at 40 age.

MeOhMy200 in reply to Blue_ace

Thanks for the encouragement! Although I don't prefer circumcision unless it's the last choice.

in reply to MeOhMy200

The NHS would agree with you. Try other methods of sorting out your issue before you consider circumcision. From what you have posted it sounds as if you are getting some benefit from stretching. That being the case, you might want to continue that until it produces no further improvement. Review your situation at that stage and, yes, you may have to be circumcised. Have you tried steroid cream from your doc for the stretching?

Steroid cream for stretching. No I have not. What are the benefits?

in reply to MeOhMy200

It can assist the stretching process: healthline.com/health/how-t...

Ah! That looks like it maybe be helpful. Not sure if I'll need it at this stage but if I do I know what to get ! Thanks!

How did the orgasm intensity compare between cut and uncut. My feeling is that with a perfect foreskin with no defects and not to long, would be absolutely magnificent, but that’s a lot of ifs lol. It appears that the tight tip expands and contracts, which allows more stimulation.

Blue_ace profile image
Blue_ace in reply to At1012

Orgasm depends on 2 factors:

1. Brain

2. Anatomy (physics)

When your mind is totally aroused, then comes the physical one.

You're totally erect, at that time,the short diameter of foreskin ring will put excessive pressure on the crater behind glans.

This excessive pressure will throw the semen out very early (the recipe of semen may also be lacking of a completeness). Lol!

This was happening to me, I tried all stretching exercises with no results.

Then, I chose circ.

Now, the duration of sex has also increased, and pleasure also increased.

Did you also feel that after you ejaculated, you didn’t feel satisfied? You then could keep going and do it again and again without satisfaction?

Blue_ace profile image
Blue_ace in reply to At1012

I don't understand, what's your point ?

At1012 profile image
At1012 in reply to Blue_ace

I was talking about whether the lack of ejaculation fluid during ejaculation could cause you to not feel satisfied? So you masterbate again and again to feel satisfied sexually. Does this make sense?

Blue_ace profile image
Blue_ace in reply to At1012

Ohh no.

Due to early ejaculation, you cant enjoy more !! That was my problem.

Tight foreskin may make you ejaculate early.

So, u and ur partner both suffer.

After circumcision, this sex period increased.

At1012 profile image
At1012 in reply to Blue_ace

why would having a tight foreskin cause premature ejaculation? Also even if you have premature ejaculation, why would that be a problem, if you could just have another round of sex or more?

Blue_ace profile image
Blue_ace in reply to At1012

Why waste more semen, on account of a physical error?

At1012 profile image
At1012 in reply to Blue_ace

wasting semen is impossible because it regenerates.

in reply to Blue_ace

Semen is not “wasted”. Your body just produces more. Any semen that is not used for ejaculation is reabsorbed.

in reply to Blue_ace

Issues around orgasm are generally emotional and rarely physical.

Are you sure that the time to reach orgasm affects the quality of the sperm? I find it difficult to understand how that can be.

Blue_ace profile image
Blue_ace in reply to

Forget the quality thing. It was just a thought.

But, circumcision surely delayed my ejaculation. And I am completely satisfied.

in reply to Blue_ace

Circumcision may delay ejaculation once your glans is keratinised.

Blue_ace profile image
Blue_ace in reply to

In 1 month time, glans gets keratinized. After that, no early exit.

Woohoo !!

in reply to Blue_ace

I hope you enjoy that time!

Alright so Im 38 and not cut having same issue with forskin and not interested in surgery.

Sex feels great but feel like could be better some times. Heres the thing with timing though I find that Im able to last any where fro 30-60 minutes if done right.

So dont know about feeling and want to work on as for timing just about taking time and enjoy the ride 🤠

Hi, quite a few years back i had a similar problem to this. I found that the more i stretched (with ease of course) the very tip of my foreskin before retracting, it slowly became more and more manageable. At first i found myself only masturbating un or retracted but after stretching it slightly every so often it really helped. Hope this helps

MeOhMy200 profile image
MeOhMy200 in reply to

The very top? Okay I will try that. Hope it helps me get to where Ideally want to be.

in reply to MeOhMy200

Yeah like when its pulled all the way up...it may be a tad painful at first but like i said dont overdo it. Even if it doesnt work it is still fun to cum without retracting :)

What would happen if a doctor forced the foreskin back? Also how often do you masterbate? I have heard that the vagina would supposedly force the foreskin back and then with enough sex, phimosis wouldn’t exist. My feeling is that the ass could cause frenulum tears and masterbation causes swelling of the foreskin. The vagina seems to be the perfect place for an uncircumcised penis. But I think uncut guys like assholes better for the most part because it is tighter, and as a result it causes more stimulation than the vagina.

Your penis is very nice. It’s also a nice size. Your frenulum could be short or tight as a result of not having the opportunity to be exercised. You can try pulling at the tip of foreskin on the underside of your penis, away from your body several times a day for a few minutes. This would help lengthen your frenulum. In addition pulling the tight tip of foreskin apart several times a day could help solve the tight foreskin.

MeOhMy200 in reply to At1012

Thanks man ! I'm definitely going to employ that method. Made so much progress can't wait to feel sex with foreskin not over my head. Also I've never heard that uncut guys like asshole better BUT when I think about it makes alot of sense!

At1012 profile image
At1012 in reply to MeOhMy200

I have observed a big difference in porn lol and also seeing results from my personal experiences. The area of the penis near the base of penis would put extra uncomfortable pressure on a circumcised penis because there would be no gliding. An uncut guy would glide very easily in an ass because the extra pressure the cut guy would feel, the uncut guy would feel more pleasure because of the foreskin. If the vagina is tight then it would be a similar kind of feeling, I would expect. Also a cut guy would have more of a chance of causing a bend in the penis from anal sex because of how tight an ass is.

One thing I would be curious about is whether the bunching up effect at the base of an uncut penis, would provide any extra stimulation to the clitoris during vaginal sex.

An uncut guy would have a more cyclic motion and would likely have shorter strokes, so I wonder how these effects would change the experience for a female.

I also wonder how a long foreskin would effect the receiver verses a short foreskin.

Well I've my girlfriend and exs love it extra stimulation inside and they seem to love to play and suck on the foreskin

Circumsision is the only treatment mate

MeOhMy200 in reply to

Thanks lol yeah it seems but I'll be just as happy once I can retract when erect. I'll be content.

It is not.

In today's fast life, who has the time to stretch the foreskin everyday?

This stretching must be continued everyday twice , for some months... 😪😪

Practically, this is not possible for me atleast !

MeOhMy200 profile image
MeOhMy200 in reply to Blue_ace

Hmmm it's all about how you look at it really. In my down time when I'm watching sports or listening to podcast I can take 5 quick minutes to stretch it. Doesn't seem like too much a of a big hassle imo ESPECIALLY if it's something you want. You'll find time for something you want. Thank you for your insight tho man!

Toolman101 profile image
Toolman101 in reply to Blue_ace

Or even pull it in the shower and stretch that way. At one point couldnt pull down at all, but the girlfriend took some effort while giving BJ and now skin comes down past head. Its not very comfortable yet but work in progress

Yes, I agree. You appear to have a somewhat tight foreskin. You don't have phimosis - upper right photo shows clearly that you can retract your foreskin. I experienced the same problem and was told that my foreskin needed to be removed. I opted not to have the circumcision but chose to do stretching exercises. It worked for me but it took years of stretching. Now it retracts comfortably when I have an erection. No, it does not retract by itself.

MeOhMy200 profile image
MeOhMy200 in reply to uncutforesk

Awesome man! That's great to here and I feel I'll be right there with you in a month or so. I can get it behind the head when ereca so now I'm focused on stretching my frenulum right now so it's not as tight. Once that happens I'll do it everytime I'm erect till it's becomes a natural thing and I'm set!

MeOhMy200 profile image
MeOhMy200

I have erect in the bottom too and it's almost there. Since I took the photo I've gotten it to be behind it although it's slightly painful. Now I'm also including stretching the frenulum. So it'll be looser and slight down more gracefully !

MeOhMy200 profile image
MeOhMy200

Well I started with stretching the foreskin a few times a day when I couldn't retract while soft and eventually I was able too. Now when I'm erect i retract it as much as I can then go back up then retract it again. I do it as many times as I can before I start to go soft. Easy does it. It's all a process at first I could barely do anything when erect I'm sliding just behind the head. It's not as easy and as comfortable as I'd like that why I'm stretching my frenulum now so that'll be looser and help me with erect retraction.

MeOhMy200 profile image
MeOhMy200

Yeah I believe it's only in a soft state that would make phimosis. Then just keep stretching while erect it'll take time. Also stretch your frenulum that'll help stretching when erect. That's what I'm doing now.

Very nice looking penis, work at stretching it looks like you are making progress. Not many guys are as well endowed as you are.

"Not many guys are as well endowed as you are." Another great reason for not circumcising.

Have you had much progress since you posted this? I have the exact same thing happening, full retraction is almost achievable when erect, and if I retract prior to getting erect it's uncomfortably tight.

I have a problem like this just recently. My penis used to retract as normal daily, then one day it stops. When I try to pull it back, it starts to rip and pains a lot. The doctor told me to moisturize it but yet, still nothing. Thinking about getting it circumsized. Should I?

Hi, I seem to be having the same problem. Since you posted this 5 months ago can you tell me whether stretching was effective and can it be resolved without circumcision? I am glad I found someone with the same problem

hey buddy any update?

The trick with stretching is patience. Yes, it can take a long time, but in mine and many other guys case the end result was worth it. Luckily my doctor didn’t just suggest chopping the skin off and years later my foreskin is fully functioning with all those amazing nerve endings underneath still there. Mine is pretty loose nowadays, so much that I always jerk off with it pulled back just using the glans.

I had exactly the same problem. it started to get worse so i went to the doctor. i had balinitis xerotica obliterans. a circumcision was recommended and i was horrified. I had the operation and it went ok but erections during the night and in morning were agony. Today i think a circumcised penis is much better. No smell ever, orgasms last longer and there is no loss in sexual enjoyment. i wouldn't go back even if u offered me 10000 quid.
