Phimosis

I'm 17 years old and i found out that i have phimosis. I really dont know what to do now. I cant retract completely when I'm even at the no erection state. Even if most of the part comes out, it feels very sensitive and also dries very quickly. I kinda get panicked by this. I really need help.

Don’t believe what that guy says (Bucky85) mate trust me. He is VERY anti circumcision for what ever reason I don’t know

I’m 18 and I got circumcised due to phimosis. It a common condition so don’t worry. You will most likely have tk be circumcised. Most people can pull their foreskin back when they’re 13 or 14.

Trust me go to the doctors and organise a circumcision as if you leave it too late it’s going to cause many problems when you have intercourse and women do not like a penis with phimosis lol.

It’s been a month since my operation and I haven’t looked back. Best decision I’ve made. Don’t leave it too late mate trust me.

You could try stretching your foreskin but it has a really low success rate.

I could not pull back until well into my twenties, and everything worked fine.

I would try stretching you have nothing to lose by trying. If you are in pain or real discomfort go see your Doc.

You really have 2 options.

Option 1: Do stretching exercises daily for the next 6 months to a year to correct his. There are a few websites that can show you how. I can find the link if you like.

Option 2: Circumcision. Instantly corrected however you will have bloody, swollen penis for 2-3 weeks and sensitivity issues for about month. (It is not painful at all, just looks horrible)

Technically stretching exercises will always work, but you need to do them right and most people don’t. You should really be sure on what your doing before stretching, and you should probably get steroid cream to help any inflammation. It takes a while to do stretching. But if you don’t really care about your foreskin you can get a circumcision but it does lower sensitivity, that is a fact, however if you have phimosis or something that makes it so you can’t use it properly, the issue probably decreases pleasure more than the circumcision. So you should make sure you definitely need one before getting it.

Circumcision doesn't decrease pleasure at all. On the contrary, I get now more pleasure than before.

Okay but it does, your foreskin did not work properly so that’s probably but if you don’t need it you lose sensitivity, go back and read...

It's only the hypersensitivity that you lose not the sensitivity that you need to get pleasure out of sex or masturbation.

But it is proven to decrease pleasure in most cases, otherwise circumcised guys would not last a lot longer on average. I’m not saying that it’s the same in your case as you needed a circumcision. Also if you have a working foreskin your not hypersensitive.

But isn't it because of the hypersensitivity that uncircumcised males don't last as long as circumcised do?

Yes but the penis is not “hypersensitive “ , it’s just right when the foreskin works properly, obviously some men may have fine foreskin and be hypersensitive, but it’s not that common usually it’s just right.

Get a circumcision. It will be covered by insurance if its a medical problem. Complain about the pain. If you get older, your skin will mature and it will be difficult to stretch the skin any more. There is indeed a chance that it will retract and push through but it might take time and might be painful. I suggest to just go on a full-on circumcision.

I had the op about 6 months ago due to phimosis. In some ways masterbation with foreskin was great, but there are other new sensations that are also great now for me.
