MY FORESKIN

[MRDEVIL]

i hav not yet tried to pull my foreskin but its tight im 16 and idk abt it so plzz help. is it normal to have a little tight foreskin

[Eriks]

You probably have phimosis and would likely to go and have a circumcision.

[jimfromcalif in reply to Eriks]

That’s complete nonsense. Simple stretching will loosen it.

[Ryanr]

Your still quite young at your age circumcision is definitely not recommended. Your foreskin may be still attached to your glans I would suggest wait another year or so and see if anything changes you may be a late developer as ever is different.

Well you have to define normal. Is it normal not to be able to retract your foreskin. No. Is it unusual or rare, no it is not. Many guys suffer from it. Depending on the severity of the phimosis the doctor can recommend either stretching, which requires time and effort on your part, or circumcision, which is a one of procedure that will remove the foreskin from your penis head.

Best thing to do is visit a urologist and go over the options with him. If for whatever reason you explicitly do not want a circumcision (though from person experience I can say there is nothing to be worried about as I am happy with it) make it clear to your doctor and go over the other options that you might have. Ultimately it is your penis so only you can make that decision, however I do recommend reading up on it both circumcision and stretching to get as much info as you can.

To be honest it’s not that many guys that actually suffer from phimosis it’s about 1 in 100 guys and it’s usually resolved by stretching in the uk

[Cipher]

You sir, are clearly biased. Stop scaring the kid.

[timmyboy20]

Don't listen to all these charlatans on the web claiming circumcision is evil - how do they know circumcised men experience less sensitivity when they've never been circumcised themselves? It is an internal contradiction in and of itself. Unlike those charlatans on the web, I have been BOTH circumcised and uncircumcised; and I can attest to the best of my sincere knowledge that the distinction in terms of sensitivity between circumcised and uncircumcised is absolutely negligible. New nerve cells grow in erogenous areas of the penis as the incision heals. The penis is the penis, it has nerve cells all over it and not loss of extra foreskin will rob you from the wonders of sex. On the contrary, ever since I was circumcised I've noticed that my orgasms are more powerful and my ejaculations are a lot more voluminous.

[jimfromcalif in reply to timmyboy20]

The charletans circumcise.

[timmyboy20 in reply to jimfromcalif]

No, the charlatans tell lies and try to scare off men from getting circumcised.

[jimfromcalif in reply to timmyboy20]

Circumcision is a mutilation.

[Cipher in reply to jimfromcalif]

Your personal opinion and hundreds of thousands of men beg to differ.

[jimfromcalif in reply to Cipher]

Of course they deny being mutilated. Very few men wish to recognize a deficiency in their penises. Nonetheless, circumcision is a drastic mutilation.

[timmyboy20 in reply to jimfromcalif]

Sigh ...

[Marienga in reply to timmyboy20]

the experience our brother is having is for the same reason i considered the cut

[Pineapples101]

Don’t listen to anyone on weather too circumcise your penis or not! It is your penis and your choice, so do research about it make sure you use multiple sites and not just one because it may be biased, and the consult your doctors and make up your mind.

Please remember their are other options than circumcision.

[timmyboy20]

Another fellow member of the anti-circumcision sect?

[Pineapples101 in reply to timmyboy20]

No but I’m also not a member of the pro- circumcision sect!

[timmyboy20 in reply to Pineapples101]

Neither do I!

[timmyboy20]

Not in the post above but in so many other posts you did!

[Cipher]

Because you, sir have no clue how severe his issue is, even if it is an issue. You say circumcision is a horrendous mutilation of a male penis which is a blatant lie and you should be ashamed of it. You are telling him to do what YOU think is right, whereas I tell him to get informed and do what HE thinks is right. You are in no position, neither professional nor any other to tell anyone what they shouldn't do especially when you support your "claims" with lies, hyperbole and other made up and highly subjective opinions.

[jimfromcalif in reply to Cipher]

The guy is normal.

[jimfromcalif]

For 16, you are normal. You may start attempting retraction to help the process.

[jimfromcalif]

That’s complete nonsense. Simple stretching will solve the problem.

[timmyboy20 in reply to jimfromcalif]

I wish him good luck with the stretching. He gonna need it.

[jimfromcalif in reply to timmyboy20]

The guy is normal for his age, so why are you so anxious for him to be mutilated?

[Pineapples101 in reply to jimfromcalif]

He’s technically not normal for his age, he should be able to pull I back by now, so he should start trying to stretch it, but it could take until age 18 for it to loosen if not then it’s definitely a real cause of phimosis and not just the foreskin being naturally tight or fused.

[Pineapples101 in reply to Pineapples101]

Therefore needing real stretching, time and effort or a circumcision if he feels he wants that, but it’s not recommended in most doctors to be done before stretching has been tried.

[jimfromcalif in reply to Pineapples101]

My experience (30 tears) dealing with this subject reveals that tightness during the teen years is normal. If he were phimotic, there’d be a problem, but from his description, that’s not the case. He does not have phimosis. My guess is that with dedicatex stretching, he can resolve the issue in six weeks to two months.

[Pineapples101 in reply to jimfromcalif]

It should not be tight at the age of 16 and at the age of 18 it’s considered real phimosis less than 1% of boys have tight foreskin from 16 - 18.

[jimfromcalif in reply to Pineapples101]

Tightness in the teens is a lot more common than you claim. It’s not a serious matter.

[Pineapples101 in reply to jimfromcalif]

It obviously isn’t,

Warning theirs a penis on that link

medicalnewstoday.com/articl...

No penis on that link, this proves it.

[jimfromcalif in reply to Pineapples101]

Why are you so argumentative when I’ve actually had experience in the field.

[Pineapples101 in reply to jimfromcalif]

I’m argumentative because your saying it’s normal when it’s not it’s not common to still have tight foreskin after the age of 16

[Pineapples101 in reply to jimfromcalif]

Just cause you have had it does not mean its “normal”

[jimfromcalif in reply to Pineapples101]

What do you mean?

[Pineapples101 in reply to jimfromcalif]

I mean it’s not normal and not a lot of people get it just because you have had it.

[Marienga]

i recommend you go for the cut. it will makes things much easier for you. the foreskin is a very tender and tend to get bruised easily, a tiny scratch makes you uncomfortable for hour even a day two. when you become of age, sex will be uncomfortable for the skin will be moving back and forth. cleaning it it also is a problem. imagine its already tight and inserting a cleaning tool inside (a rubber-bulb ear syringe etc) i dont think its comfortable. more over it gives a conducive environment for bacteria to flourish. which one is better, gushing water in a invisible surface when cleaning or rubbing a visible surface. its my advice to just consider the cut. when you chop it off, easy life, no pain with attractive appearance. your conscience is right, for you to bring the issue in this forum, you must have been thinking about it, and for you to have thought about it, it must have been bothering you and for something to bother you, it must have been bringing you uncomfort..... consider the cut

[jimfromcalif in reply to Marienga]

Bacteria inside the foreskin are necessary for good health.

[Pineapples101 in reply to Marienga]

No offence but just about everything he said is bullshit, please don’t listen to him

[JakiBahl]

I used to have foreskin attached to my glans as I was younger but, well I masturbated as normally and eventually it started loosin up

[Pineapples101 in reply to JakiBahl]

All you need to do is some stretching exercises, safely without tearing your foreskin, search up stretching for phimosis you will find alot of information and also consult your Gp

[seanupp]

As far as I am aware it is not normal I agree with ryanr with saying wait a year or so but if it's affecting you seek medical advice from your gp

I forced mine when I was 16 (now 23) and I have never had such an embarrassing a&e visit in my life according to hospital because I left it overnight with the skin stuck behind the head i could have ended up having it amputated (the pain was horrible) but there are a couple if things you can try.

1.stretching by placing your two little fingers for five mins a day about 3 times a day after first couple of weeks then use bigger fingers this did not work for me but it might for you.

2.there might be some form of medicinal cream.

3.circumcision after speaking with a healthcare professional they may suggest that it's advisable to be circumcised

And as embarrassing as it may be ask a parent if possible

I found out that phimosis runs in my family my dad and grandad had it my grandad didn't tell my dad he was circumcised my dad split his foreskin and I am now circumcised so asking family may be beneficial hipe this helps.

hopefully no matter the way it fixes itself or it gets sorted
