Is this normal ?

I am 27 year old and never masturbated by pulling foreskin back but just by rubbing penis. I had sex for the first time and when woman was on top, my foreskin went down but I could not enjoy and even did not orgasm. Penis actually slid out out and then I realized that skin is not coming back up. It did not come up totally even after I loose erection. I did not have pain but had lot of discomfort. Even I was fearing erection in that condition. I googled the condition but found names like Phimosis and Para phimosis where surgery is advised. I consulted a doctor locally and he anesthetized by Penis using some cream and just fixed it within 30 seconds with minimum pain and explained me that it is normal. To add more to my fear, he said that it may happen again. He did not say anything about Phimosis or Para phimosis but just gave me medicines to treat the scar visible on Glans. Now I am scared to pull my foreskin back again fearing that it will not come up? What should I do? I am scared of sex? Please suggest something.

Here is the UK guidance on your problems: nhs.uk/conditions/phimosis/

Your doctor could prescribe a steroid cream for you to use while doing foreskin stretching exercises. That might solve your problem.

Use a softening cream or oil such as coconut and regularly move the foreskin over and back when flaccid and then increasingly when erect. This should gradually stretch your foreskin so it can glide more easily during intercourse, which is what it’s ‘designed’ to do. Don’t be impatient and rest a day or so in between stretching sessions just as you would with fitness/ gym exercise. Avoid circumcision as it literally will be a pain during recovery (as shown with a lot of the posts on this forum) and instead learn to enjoy the pleasure sensors in the foreskin. Many cut guys regret losing the exquisite sensation if they have to get cut. I’m very glad I am still intact.

What you describe sounds like a paraphimosis (even if only a mild one - but significant if it required manipulation by the doctor to get the foreskin back onto the glans. As the doctor indicated, this is very liable to occur again as you foreskin is a bit too tight to move freely at all times.

Just got my circumcision last week and I totally recommend it, first week is uncomfortable but once you get past that the stitches fall out and it’s just another month or so and viola! As of right now I’m back at work and it feels totally normal, I had phimosis so that was the reason for my surgery but again I 100% recommend the surgery.

Technically, you're bordering on paraphimosis, but that's just a word. To fix it, stick your pinkie tips into the opening and pull apart, hold a couple of minutes and repeat several times each day. Usually two weeks will cure it.

I agree with roddythescot. What you describe sounds like paraphimosis. Ask your doctor about stretching exercises to fix the problem. There is also minor surgery such as the "dorsal slit" to loosen your foreskin. Circumcision should be a last resort after all other options have failed.

To emphasize this, read some of the entries in this forum. At least half of them are from recently circumcised men who are reporting complications following their operations and botched jobs. Some men are happy with their circumcisions and that's great, but they seem to be the minority. If your doctor recommends circumcision at the beginning, find another doctor. The results of circumcision (good or bad) are permanent, so think long and hard and get the facts before you decide on a circumcision.

you've left it a long time to stretch the foreskin, if you've never manually retracted at your current age. nothing wrong with that. you need to stretch it manually - gradually and gently - doing it more each time. if it were really too tight it may have torn only slightly, as mine did when i first started having sex at 26. don't worry, it heals. sounds entirely normal. the more you have sex the more your foreskin will stretch.
