Hey im 18 and I thought i suffered from Phimosis.

[Deandre]

Hey guys,

I am 18 years old and have never pulled my forskin all the way back. I recently discovered that this is not normal, and started doing stretches to try and fix my problem myself. As I progressed it became easier to pullback my forskin.

After awhile of streching I got as far as I could and found something was stopping me, I have skin attaching my forskin to my glans and I dont know what to do or what it is called. I am terrified of circumcision but will do it if i need to. Its not that I want to be circumcised I just want the ability to retract my forskin.

Will this effect my sex life as I have never had sex before, and reading other posts I would just like to say no it does not hurt when I masturbaite or urinate.

What do i do

Firstly, my penis looked just like that when I woke up this morning. I got Circumsised a few hours ago, I was so scared of the operation, like very nervous. Phimosis is a really annoying problem, I have had many doctors look at it and urologists to and they have all suggested the use of stretching and steroid creams to make the foreskin more retractable. It messed with my sex life a lot, to be honest I have been in a relationship with a really hot girl for almost 4 years and I have never had comfortable sex. I would recommend trying steroid creams but if those don’t work, I would urge you to get a Circumsision, I put it off since I was 13 when I first noticed, so 6 years. The reason I did this is because I was so scared of surgery, the pain, general anaesthetic and even people finding out like family, friend and work colleagues.

My advice, don’t overthink it like I did, I was dead scared for the longest time however today was actually fine, the staff were really nice to me and very understanding. Nothing was painful, the anaesthetic was great, I knocked out in seconds and next think I knew I was awake and well 😄

I really hope things work out for you, trust me you will be fine no matter what happens.

Deandre, Im 33, married with 3 children. I had the same problem, I also with lots of time got my forskin to go over the glanse of my penis. Still my frenulum was a bit short and that caused tears on the frenulum while having intercourse. It is small and without blood, but left me with a burning sensation for days after intercourse.

After 7 years af being married and not really doing hand jobs any more or stretching my foreskin started getting tight again. This caused that during intercause (and the heat of the moment) your foreskin gets forced over the head. Your skin stretches(with pain), but you do not want to spoil the moment for your partner and just bear through it. Then I had a 'nice' bruised penis for the next week.

It turned out that the pain during and after intercourse got to a point where I'd rather not have sex than going through it. Being 33 and having sex only every 3-4 months is not the way it should be!! I have a beautiful wife!!!

Don't wait to long before you get help. As you see on this page there are so many men that went through the same. I finally got my circumcision done this year. Still recovering, but not regretting it at all. The short discomfort after the operation is much better than having to live with constant discomfort.

Your condition is pretty mild, so no need to panic. At 18, you’re a few months behind the age at which most boys can fully retract, but it’s easily fixed without surgery. Stretching, to be successful, must be done frequently and regularly. The nature of skin is that, in the absense of disease, with tension applied correctly for sufficient time, it has no alternative but to expand. Simply put, it will not fail. My observation for the past 30+ years has shown that you must stretch daily. Best results will be achieved with four sessions of 5-10 minutes each. Gain occurs when the process continues for the length of time necessary for cell division and development of new cells. When less than a month of effort is taken, a degree of reversion to the former state can occur. This is why many claim stretching didn’t work for them. They simply gave up too soon. The question you must be willing to answer truthfully is whether preserving your foreskin is worth 2-3 months of easy exercises or would rather loose 20,000 specialized erogeneous nerves in your inner foreskin and have a scarred organ the rest of your life.

If you wish to remain intact and have full sexual satisfaction, I can suggest some exercises which work.

The piece of tissue attaching your foreskin to the shaft is your frenulum. To many men, this is their most sensitive spot. It is often lost to circumcision. It can be lengthened with exercises.

Please, do you sure if it work? Because i'm 18 too and i'm shocked.... I was thinking why my penis looked different from others generally and it's phimosis. Doctor saw my penis before when I was 6 maybe, and he dosn't noticed that I think so I didn't know that. Please, i want to retablish it naturally. So i have to do 5-10 minutes per day.

I’m positive it will work if you follow directions. Start stretching your frenulum. drelastic.com

I would say keep on stretching, look at circumcision as a last resort.
